Video: Halfrican Are You African or African American?

Attorney Antonio Moore and guest Yvette Carnell discuss the concept African Halfrican.

The two delve into a analysis of people mixed with American Slavery, and a parent that's a recent immigrant.

1) If your entire life has been in America in largely Black American cities and your half descended from the bones of American slaves are you running from the reality that your just black American. Look closely you also bear the cost of being culturally lost as well, one not cleared by calling yourself by an African culture and trying to immerse yourself in a distant view of a alt country you have never even seen?

2) Is Halfrikan a real cultural concept, or just a way to say not African American. If your half DOS AA what is your reaction when you’re confronted with a representation of black Americans as shiftless or lazy or as Akata meaning wild animal?

3) Do Caribbean’s who had a variation of slavery suffer from a similar identity identity split when mixed with American Slavery through one parent?

4) Are Black Descendants of American Slavery owed a tribute for creating the America we all live within as African descended?

5) Does Issa Rae and her show Insecure show the life of a halfrican or a black American?

6) What is the consequence for allowing people to play the fence and not stand with Black American life in a Era of Trump? Topics get discussed that are not core issues for black life like immigration vs. reparations
