MANDINGO MOORS WERE ALREADY IN AMERICA BEFORE COLUMBUS: The main character in the movie Roots Kunta Kinte is identified as a Mandingo. However the Mandingo were never sold during the Slave Trade. The Mandingo were Malian Moors who came to the Americas before Columbus. The name Mandingo is a variant of Mandanka(Mandan-Ka) meaning the people of the Mandan Empire. The Mandan Empire also ruled in America. The Mandan tribe of Native-Americans were located by Lewis and Clark in Missouri. The American military killed most of them by giving them poison blankets infected with Small Pox. The Mandan Chief was brought back to meet then President Thomas Jefferson at the White House. The Mandingo were Moorish slave traders who mostly sold their rival tribesmen the Fulani from Gambia. (The Gambian Trade was relatively small in comparison to the Bight of Biafra, the Bight of Benin and the Gold Coast.) However in an attempt to erase the history of the Mandan Moors(Mandingo) who were already in the Americas prior to Columbus, the European revisionists attempt to falsely claim that Mandingo arrived in America as slaves. With this propaganda they have found a convenient way to account for the overwhelming evidence that points to a Pre-Columbus Mandingo presence in America as documented by Van Sertima in his research publications: They Came Before Columbus and Early America Revisited.This is why it was so important for the movie Roots to identify the main character Kunta Kinte as an enslaved Mandingo. The Journal of African Civilizations: Revisited is a vigorous defense and amplification of They Came Before Columbus. The book is a carefully balanced case for an African presence in America before Columbus voyages, by Africans from the Mandingo empire of Mali,..... journalofafricancivilizations/…/Early-Americ… Alex Haley acknowledges that his family did not maintain any tradition or knowledge of an enslaved Mandingo ancestor. His conclusion was based on a possible vague linguistic conjecture of a single word that appeared to have possible phonological affinities with a word identified among Gambian speakers. Hardly evidence of an enslaved Mandingo ancestor. Many African-Americans do have Mandingo/Mende ancestry. However this ancestry is that which connects them to the Pre-Columbus Moors.
