You know, as African people, we were FORBIDDEN to speak our language on the plantations of this racist American society. Many times, if caught speaking to each other in our native tongue,or performing some ritual native to us, our tongues were cut right out of our mouths, our hands were chopped off, or we were beaten horribly.
My beef with this whole issue is that, everywhere you go, instructions, signs, ingredients, whatever, have the english version on top and then the Spanish version (or French) below.
It seems as if AmeriKKKa is more accepting of minority individuals who are more like the white side of America (lighter skin, straighter, longer hair, etc.) There have NEVER been any attempts to make us Africans feel more "at home" by allowing us to continue on with our language and traditions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE were never given any sort of accomodations!!!!!!!!!
