<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5;">In the general public’s opinion, there is still a difference between people from Africa and the African #American. Slavery which lasted more than four centuries definitely annihilated the autochthons and played a major role in the spiritual schism between these distant relatives. The massive and industrial deportation of hundred thousands of people treated and traded like cattle in America and the Caribbean forced them to build a new identity in order to accommodate but especially to survive in their whole new environment.</span></h1>

Despite the numerous common points as regards customs and lifestyle, a large number of Afros still don’t see the obvious bond that exists between the African, the African American and the Caribbean. However a small portion of African American popular figures from the second, third or fourth generation are well-aware of their African roots and fully embrace their heritage even claiming kinship with their country of origin.<span style="background-color: red;"> <b><a href="http://https%3B//datakiss.blogspot.com" target="_blank">DATAKISS</a></b></span> however decided to shed some light on these African American celebrities who acknowledge their African lineage.</div>
