Don't make that seem like a sin. Blacks lost their identity during slavery so they were doing just what they had gotten accustomed to doing. Indians never lost their identity and even today that we are in other parts of the world, we still can relate to our fore-parents in India. Now it is easier for us as the white people are beginning to like Bollywood. My current ringtone is the music just before the song, lal dupatta. A Peruvian asked me what song was that. I told her it was a Bollywood song. Se said that she loves Bollywood songs. People aren't finding anything from Africa attractive to attach to. Not even non-African blacks are attaching to Africa.

The other thing is that the old PNC used to treat Guyanese Indians as second class citizens causing many Indians to see themselves that way.

And this response shows what I mean. Most blacks dont think that they lost anything. What they think is that they developed a new CARIBBEAN centered culture.   You root yours out of India, attaching nothing of value to being Guyanese.

If you were singing Bob Marley she wouldnt ask what the song was. She would already know as she dances to her Jamaican based reggaetón.

The notion that the Afro Caribbean has no culture is a serious joke.

Some foreign students from Nigeria use to refer to the American blacks as cotton pickers. The American blacks hated that and wanted nothing to do with them. I see the same clannish behavior with the Somalis here.

The very fact that these Nigerians live in the USA in spaces that black Americans fought for just shows how pathetic their derision for black Americans is.  If they are so fabulous why isnt Nigeria one of the world's economic powerhouses?  It has one of the worlds largest populations.
