Isaiah said:Brother Pan, I was struck by these two emails, as we've been discussing these kinds of things at the forum... They seem to speak more to African perception of whom we African Americans are than the reality of whom we are... I makes me to wonder whether learning African languages, and indulging in African Ethnic Culture would even serve to disabuse Continentals of the perception that we are "cultureless..?"
This is giving me a whole new perspective brother Isaiah. I'm sure our inability to speak or connect with an African language/dialog, does add weight to the belief of some continental Africans that we are cultureless.
