Historical accounts from Spanish explorers like Cortés and Vizcaíno, compiled in early 1800s London, describe encounters with Indigenous communities who were already familiar with Black people, suggesting that Black individuals may have been present in the Americas before European arrival, challenging the traditional narrative that begins with Columbus in 1492.

Black People Were in America Before Columbus?Added:
I think we got to take a little look into some of this fake history she's talking about. She said we're promoting fake history, we're stealing Native American heritage. Well, I think we got to do a little bit of reading because reading is all so fundamental at the end of the day. Hey, so so this text that we're going to read from is the philosophical and antiquarian aboriginal history of America. This was written in the early 1800s in London and this compiled Spanish journals from explorers or conquistadors such as Vizcaino, Cortez, and Torquemada. Now, these accounts is when the Spanish visited the California coast in like the late 1400s or around like 1492. So, let's see what the first Europeans that came over here say they saw when they arrived. It says right here, "Though America possesses some dark brown men approaching to be black, yet it has been almost universally believed that there were no aboriginal blacks or Negroes found on this continent. But, from considering the peculiar circumstances under which a black race was found in North America, I hold it more than probable that the common opinion is erroneous."
So, basically they're saying, "Hey, we don't think there's like native black American folks, but okay, we found a whole race of black people all across North America. So, I guess there are."
Torquemada says, "The Californians showed no manner of surprise at the sight of some Negroes that accompanied Vizcaino on a voyage to the coast."
Because again, guys, remember when the Spaniards are visiting the New World, they're taking Hebrew and Moorish North African guides because a lot of these indigenous tribes in North America speak Hebrew. For some reason, these Moors could communicate with a lot of these indigenous tribes. And these Spaniards are saying that when these natives, who were not black folks initially, when they come to the coast, they're dealing with some light-skinned natives. They're saying these light-skinned natives saw the Negroes that were with the Spaniards and weren't surprised at all.
Matter of fact, if we keep reading, it says that when a negro was ordered to distribute a biscuit to the Californians at the Bay of Saint Barnabas, quote, "The natives seemed greatly pleased at the sight of the negro and signified to him that they lived in friendship and correspondence with the people of his color and that not far from thence was a negro village."
Wow.
But the African girl says that the this is fake history, huh? Many know about slavery before you discuss paper genocide. We did not all come from Africa and most of us have aboriginal roots that were stripped away due to reclassification and mis-education. As a native black American and a member of the Muscogee Creek Nation, I understand the importance of tracing your lineage.
