This is an interesting thread and it reflects my own research. I have noticeed the features of the Batutsi in many people in the US. I too trace my paternal line to Africa by way of England. There is in the history of the Zulu kingdom of "Izwe lika Mthaniya" of 50 amabutho (soldiers) sent to England to learn technology, from England they were shipped to Virginia circa 1828. I have lived in Africa for the past three years and this story was confirmed by several scholars. I also met many Banyamurenge and Batutsi refugees in South Africa. Knowing know the level of spirituallity among our people at home I find your story quite credible.
