Redemption, Ltr. 36

It's more difficult for people to unlearn false beliefs, than to learn the truth from the beginning, because it's messed up how people have no clue of our true existence in this world, which is why a lot of people still carry racist hate toward us black people, not wanting to believe that black people have made an important contribution to Latin Amerikkka's cultural life, because Latin Amerikkkans don't recognize their Afrikan heritage as part of their country's ethnicity, as though they do not necessarily see blackness as central to their identity, because blacks are known throughout the nation for being mixed with indigenous populations to create the ethnic diversity that exists today... As I get a lot of arguments that us blacks didn't get here until the trans-Atlantic slave trade, but how is that, when the original people of Panama, was inhabited by Aborigines, descendants of migrants who crossed from Asia to North Amerikkka for at least 10,000 years before the Europeans discovered anything, as us black Aborigines began to settle all over the Latin Amerikkka continents, developing agriculture & stone tool making, and eventually producing elaborate gold jewelry, beads, & multicolored pottery, which have been found in ancient burial mounds... The original people flourished, in building with the Indian natives the most powerful & greatest civilizations, the Mayans, Aztecs, & Incans that was later discovered after European arrival, and the Spaniards first arrived in Indian continents in the 1500s, wanting to take over they land, which then they started to arrive in the century's first decade with several hundred of Afrikan slaves, as the Indian population declined and the black population grew, Afrikans & their descendants began to be viewed by whites as the larger threat, as throughout Latin nations, the free black population grew, and slaves were able to acquire education & income, we was banned from many of contributing professions as well as most political offices... What is often overlooked, is that people of Afrikan descent were also part of the racial & cultural mixing since early colonial times, because considering our history & our contributions to the country's development, has much benefited the country in ways that is being covered up by they racist governments, who believe in their ideology of racial & cultural blending toward whiteness is everywhere going on around the world, and is overwhelming strong in Latin Amerikkka, even among black communities, because they do not want to be seen as lower-class status & other negative stereotypes, as these Latin nations deny their Afrikan ancestry.
