Asante's argument about Language retentions

The problem and weakness that I see about Asante's theory, is that Asante did not realize that Africans had their own way of speaking way before the came over to North America. Asante stated that most words from the African origin are either misspelled or African words interpreted as English words that blacks could not pronounce. Since Asante and other white American linguists failed to realize that Africans brought their own way of speaking habits with them; so they all think it's broken down or washed down English.

Asante also believe this is true because of slavery. He think during slavery, blacks lost their form of previous cultures. Asante says that slaveholders prohibit slaves from participating in traditional ceremonies and rituals; so Africans did not develop complete and formal art form. Then Turner says that no displaced of people have ever completely lost the forms or their previous culture and black retained basic components of the African rather than specific artifacts.
