Our Lost

Is what people make of African American history really reality ? Meaning that we have no history, no culture, no tradition, well Dr. Mano certainly pointed it out to me. We as human beings of course have many remenants as blacks but by us going through the Middle Passsage, we have forgotten it because we have not been reminded of it. Over the years we, as blacks have been imperialized, colonialized, to ways that has not been like our own. So subliminally but not directly, our culture and way of doing things  has been forgotten. Apparently it was lost but the main objective now should be about how we can get it pack, and find passages to be remember as one also.

In the lecture was confused me the most was that he adressed what roles African Americans had but he did not really point out the good reality of what the blacks experienced. As of right now, I am kind of stuck right now because even though he did deliver a prominant lecture , much of what he was saying was similar to the other main points that he was trying to address. With that said, it was hard for me to really write about this lecture in particular. One thing that did really catch my eye was when he began saying that blacks usuallly never have copulaor subject verb agreement, and for over generations, this scenario has not been looked at like that. We today just announce this kind of termonology as " slang ", in which is ok as long as you know when this type of lauguage is appropriate and when it is not.

On the other spectrum, Dr. Mano was correct when he assisted that the only culture or memiors that has been carried on from Africa or it's people consist of music, speech, food, religon, and art. Contrary to this being a fact, in most situations this is all that is carried on from another country or continent. In all respect, what else should be carried on?

Overall this was not one of the most interesting or mind blogging lectures that I have heard.
