It's been a little over a year since I have dedicated and Evey since December I have been sporadicly researching black African culture trying to find our racial identity and what it means to be black. Most of the things I found was bs like blacks building pyrimids in Egypt, blacks being orientals and so on. I did find some info about the Yoruba gods and some info on African communication and and so forth but nothing I felt was concrete.
Also when reading I never felt any connections to what I was reading even when reading the names of the Yoruba gods that relate to ours I felt little to nothing. When looking at our African artifacts I barely feel interest.
The only thing I have felt deeply is yanvalou dance which was introduced to me by HPS Shannon.
Also I can't see my self living happily the way they do I guess that's because I have been Americanized or whatever.
It's not like I deny that I am of the black race psychologically or anything, or seek the information with prior judgement. It's just that I'm used to feeling certain information in my soul like when I first started reading Jos site
Anyway my question is has anyone else experienced this or I something wrong that I need to fix
Thanks
