Well, can you explain how you answered that question, then? Or maybe begin by explaining how you interpreted his question? Please.

I am probably really late on this but I'm happy to have found some African, Carribean, and African Diasporic networking sites that add to the cross-continent connections between us.

Rev. Brown: [at Black Awareness Rally] But you know, when I look at these contestants! For the Miss Black Awareness Pageant, I feel good! I feel good, because I know there's a God somewhere! There's a God somewhere! Turn around ladies for me please! You know there's a God who sits on high and looks down low! Man cannot make it like this! Larry Flynt! Hugh Hefner! They can take the picture, but you can't make it! Only God above, the Hugh Hefner on high, can make it for ya!
Semmi: [in audience to Akeem] Apparently these are the best women Queens has to offer. Pick one and let's go home.
Prince Akeem: Be patient, my friend.
Rev. Brown: Do you love Him? Do you feel joy? Say "Joy"!
Prince Akeem: Joy!
Rev. Brown: Joy! Can I get an "Ahe-men"? Don't be ashamed to call His name!
Awareness Woman: Yes, Lord!
Rev. Brown: Only God can give that woman the kind of joy she has right there! Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
Prince Akeem: I am very happy to be here!
Rev. Brown: Amen! Yes, sir! Can I get an "Amen"? Ha! Ha! I don't know you what you come to do, but *I* come to praise the name! Lord, Lord!

Unless he was literally saying...show me African tradition A (and of course, "African" is that generally African like 98% of people who live in Africa and consider themselves Africans practice it, or specific, like a specific tribe in Africa) that is seen (without mutation) in Europe, Asian, South America, then of course, we won't be able to exactly give him the examples. But, I feel that the gist of a lot of our "traditions" and and cultural norms and practices stem from coping with the environment or upping our chances of passing on our genes. As such, if you look at migration or environmental similarities and differences across the world, you would be able to track the similarities and differences of african tradition among other cultures (and vice-versa).

For example, you could say that show me the tradition in other parts of where where FGM is also practiced. You probably couldn't, but if you look at the under reason (to keep girls from having sex before their husbands, or to keep wives from cheating on their husbands), and you will see similar practices in many other places of the world (keeping a woman completely clothed, foot binding, etc).

I think that's what he was requesting and we could give him examples if we didn't think we'd be trying to "prove" something to a moron.
