    Once upon a time, English speakers didn't say "mmhmm." But Africans did, according to Robert Thompson, an art history professor at Yale University who studies Africa's influence on the Americas.https://n.pr/2EgTthV

        Not surprised. Colonialism stole a lot more than people from the Continent, as their own, didn't they? We'll never know because they steal and claim everything as white. History needs to be rewritten correctly, not from an euro perspective, but the TRUTH.

        Why would that be controversial? Of course Africans influenced American English.

        Hmmmmm. Weird story. You would think an art professor would be talking about the influenced of art in the European culture. Maybe like, Picasso, or others. And still, many of their arts influence the arts globally.pic.twitter.com/Q05JEzjlnz

        When Africans were forced here they probably heard a variety of slang from the different European cultures. Scottish , Old English , Middle English etc. Europe is a mix of cultures.
