I had no intentions of referring to a "kashti" in "degradatory terms". By the way, did you just make up the word "degradatory" which I was unable to find in the dictionary?. > I don't think my father or grandfather - our surname is spelled Goveia, not Govia - ever wore a kashti since they did not grow up in hot and humid kashti country, but I'm sure my great grandfather did. So, I have nothing against kashties, either then or now. > What I was trying to explain, Maurice, is why there has been no wholesale migration of African Americans back to Africa, even by the few who are always complaining about America. African Americans do not like wearing kashties, even when it is hot and humid.
