About this listen

"African Americans – A Dying Race" delves into the concept of miscegenation and its impact on African American heritage and identity. The book highlights historical examples, such as the Afro-Argentines in Buenos Aires and Afro-Mexicans, showing how blending of genes and cultures has led to the near disappearance of distinct African populations in these regions. The narrative extends to other parts of Southern America, the Caribbean, and even Europe, underscoring a similar pattern of cultural and genetic assimilation that erases the unique characteristics of minority groups.

In examining the United States and Brazil, the book references Thomas E. Skidmore's "Black into White," which explores Brazil's promotion of racial mixing as a means of social harmony. This comparison illustrates how both nations have historically used racial mixing, albeit in different ways, to manage racial tensions. The book argues that contemporary American society continues this trend through media and policies, promoting a subtle form of cultural assimilation. Ultimately, "African Americans – A Dying Race" suggests that such practices contribute to the gradual genocide of African Americans, drawing parallels to historical and global instances of cultural blending and its consequences. The answer: "Reparations for Reparations" A new "State" of mind.
