How did black people first come to North America?

Answer 1

The tone of your question appears to be a bit offensive and I hope that it was not intended to be derogatory. Initially some were forcibly transplanted to different parts of the world through slavery and eventually like most non-natives they migrated to areas where there were greater opportunities available for personal growth and development. They are an equal product of this earth and have an equal right as every other being to legitimately occupy any area upon this earth in compliance with the applicable social and environmental rules and regulations.

Answer

In evolutionary terms, it is believed that black people originally lived in hotter areas and so evolved and survived by being able to produce more melanin in their skin - the pigment that causes skin to darken and which protects the skin from the sun's rays. Eventually this ability became encoded in a black person's DNA so that the trait was passed on to offspring. Nowadays, as the melanin producing gene more active in black people they are born black as a result of their DNA make up wherever they are born.

As the first answer states, whilst there are differenced between the races of black and white, neither, as a race, are more intelligent that the other, more or less susceptible to disease, or any other parameter or adjective or characteristic. We are all born equal and all have equal rights and should have equal opportunities. To deny these basic rights for any human being whatever their race or skin colour is morally wrong and morraly reprehensible.

Answer 4

Natives (as you call them black people whichever you prefer) were in North America before white people.

It has been documented that black people (or persons of African descent) have been in America as early as 1502; when they originally arrived as enslaved people in the Caribbean and in the oldest city in America - St. Augustine, FL, established circa 1565 it is said that those enslaved people ended up intermarrying into the Native American tribe in the area Also, the great explorers of those times Bal Boa and Cortez also had people of African descent with them on their ships. But the first named black person to set foot in America was Estevanico (an enslaved servant) who came in 1520 after a shipwreck on Galveston Island (which is now apart of Texas). Estevanico and 3 Spaniards wandered around for seven years, until they reached the Europeans of New Spain in 1536. There they heard stories of golden cities further north the Spanish sent Estevanico out with four other men including Marcos di Niza in 1539 to search for the seven cities of gold. When Estevanico reached the "first" city of old, he also lost his life although the reason is disputed between historians as whether it was for mistrust or for his demand of turquoise and women. Estevanico became the first non-Native American to see New Mexico and one of the first to walk on Texas soil.
