one is rival 300 the other is shit mouse i guess <| sep |> A large number of Black people in the United States have African ancestry , and were imported here as slaves . After the slaves were emancipated , the Jim Crow period started , during which all blacks were defined by and discriminated against for their skin tone and considered misplaced African animals , no matter how long their family had been in the country . After and partially during that , there was a large backlash against antiblack racism , where a large number of Blacks completely cast aside American culture , and embraced the idea of panBlack unity , which centered around Africa , a continent where the majority of people were black , and thus identifying themselves with African even if they were actually descended from , say , the Caribbean .
