We are Black Africans too

My dear family;

I have no problem signing a petition to end the violence in Kenya. But I must ask a question of you. As a Black African American man, born of my Black African American parents, grandparents and so on here in America, where was the country of Kenya, Nigeria, Liberia, Senegal, etc., when our people, your people were here in America, enduring the harshness of slavery and the racist backlashes we had to endure? did you not know we were here? did you not here our cries, feel our pain? did you try to come get us? I am making a point that we are one. Yet some of the Black Africans snub their noses at us Black African Americans! This must stop. As Salaam Alaikum
