How come Caribbean and Africans culture are similar but African Americans are different?

Posted on January 3, 2012 by admin

You hardly see any connection with African Americans and Africans with music etc….yet you see a connection with Caribbean blacks and Africans,how come?Why are African American culture so different?

Caribbean and african blacks have a stronger connection and knowledge of the ancestral roots
than american blacks
because of slavery and repressed education
remember it was once illegal for black american slaves to read
gaining equal human rights took priority over passing down history
black americans were disconnected from their african roots many generations ago
so they created their own separate identity

    As the Carribeaners started to revolt, the Haitians for example, Europeans came to the conclusion that they should crack down on American blacks and eradicate any ties they had to their ancestral past.

    We, I’m half Afro Trinidadian, are just classier. No offense to anyone. :/
