I'm saying that you don't have the same connection to your heritage as other blacks across the world have. That there is no legitimate Pan-African commonality. The black Haitians practice Voodoo as it came over from Africa. Do you practice voodoo? That was a religion. Perhaps, your christian? Doesn't sound too African to me (perhaps northeast Africa, but few of the American ancestors originated from there...and even then, that's Coptic Christian). The blacks across Europe don't seem to feel the same inferiority complex of whites as blacks in America. Hell, they were more scared of their own race slaughtering or enslaving them, which is why they left that beautiful hellhole.
I would love to see some evidence of African traditions as practiced across the world. That is, they happen in the United States/Europe/China/South America. I simply don't think you'll find it.

"Your name is Toby, what's your name?" lashes whip
"Kunta Kente" barely an utterance
"Massa gave you a name, it's a nice name and you are going to take it" lashes more whips
"Kunta Kente" barely an utterance, again
"What's your name?" lashes more whips, as Kunte Kente falls to the ground...
"Toby" barely audible
"Ey, that's a good [expletive deleted]..."
What we think when you say to us that we have no connection to Africa...
Thanks for exacting your psychological determinants upon us! We sho do appreciate it Massa!!!
