Ifa in Black Americans

[The] Hip Black woman on a city street attired for the fall in the hippest of ways in the early 21st century will be remembered for something else inaccessible to white women and what they bring to the times. Africanism develops the spirit of the intellect. This is the furthest construct from the consciousness of white Americans. This expansive way of seeing, of looking within one's self is at the core of the spiritual traditions of West Africa, where the majority of slaves were stolen from to work for lazy whites. This way of being is systematically being driven out of Black American children in the schools by Black American's thirst to be accepted by white people.
