Oh Black Americans

Oh! Black Americans,  Africa is your motherland And most Africans love you Not because you are called African Americans And lost your African mother tongues And cultures. Being called Americans while speaking African dialects , suit the most. Did you hear about some people called "European Americans" in USA To trace where they came from? Oh!Black Americans, I can advise you to learn " Swahili" and Continue to develop it in America. Or mix up some African languages and come out with your new  lingo -  version and call it " Americaans" which will be differ to American English. Make sure majority of Africans understand Americaans Like  Afrikaans  in Germany,  Belgium and Nederland.  Afrikaans could be called "Europeans" because it is  a mixture of some European languages. People speaking it are proudly Africans As they are citizens Of Africa. They don't forget their motherland either. If you wish to come back To  one of 54 African countries  to stay,  The doors are always opened for you. Oh!Black Americans, Some Tamil, Telugu, Urdu Hindi,Marathi, Tulu, Malayalam, Marwari, Odia, Bengali, Kannada, Memoni, Gujarati, Sindhi,Konkani Awadhi people were slaves in South Africa  And they ended up being South African Citezens They forgot slavary and Worked so hard to get wealths Now majority of them are very rich Than many people in India and pakistan They did not  forget their cultures  And traditions. Oh! Black Americans , Remember, In Africa , For Bantu to love and Hate each other , it is not a new acappella. In Asia , For Tamilians to love and Hate each other,  it is not a new salsa. In India, For Telugu to love and Hate each other ,It is not a new lyric. In South Africa, For Afrikaners and British people to love and Hate each other,  it is not new samba. In Belgium, For walloons and flamands  to love and Hate each other,  it is not a new rhythm. In Canada , For French and British people to love and Hate each other , it is not a new rhumba. Remember , Hate and love are enemies Who always lived together From their creation. By Alfonso Warally Ngengethe Mussabwa Chris
