OPINION Black against the world

Race Jones said:
The stuff I see africans post on twitter about Black Americans is disgusting.

just take a peak. funny thing is non-american Blacks love speaking ill of us but be waist deep in our culture. love telling us we dont have culture while eating soul food and dancing to future hendrixx

visiting black countries >>> anecdotes/twitter posts

I'm pro-Palestine but black people need to do what Jews do with the "birthright Israel" free heritage trips to Africa and make that shit an accessible norm.

I agree with you here.

I told you it isn't reflective of the majority and you responded to this:

if your frame of reference extends beyond anecdotes and social media posts, it isn't evident so far. not being snarky cuz i have no reason to be

you can say what you've experienced but someone's gonna come back with the same thing bout Black Americans. cultural narcissism is common in the west and it aint a good look. you're better than that.

my experience been wild as shit cuz i gotta wide ass nose and an african ass name, so i got confused for a forreal african maddddd times in life..

but when african people found out i wasn't really african like they was...that i'm from right here in baltmore......90% of the time they were immediately insulted.....like i raped their culture by having my name.....i was told once i didn't deserve my name...


like them nigaz really don't fuck with us......they hate a lotta shit about us, but it just don't be talked about like that... cuz american niggaz wanna front like they african soooooo hard...

that's why i just consider myself a Black American...

my experiences with Africans has not been very pleasant, so i have a learned bias

This is a very good post.


I like the fact you said learned bias
 
I gotta take a class or lose my job cause I said something offensive at work. I might as well start looking for another job
 
I havent had bad experiences with Africans. My old roommate was Nigerian. I have a very close friend from Senegal. My current roommate is Haitian.

However,, they do tell me how Africans view us. How a lot of the Black diaspora views us and its not good things.


reality is this: the diaspora is not superior to the continent. The continent is not superior to the diaspora. Colonialism changed us ALL.


so we all must work to unlearn certain things

i mean, cu i've had this debate countless times... and to make themselves sound good, mad africans, and even people from the islands...never wanna flat out admit to this shit.... but i've read between the lines way too many times in life.....

me and a nigerian dude who's a regular at my bar be having debates every now n then about privilege...he flat out does not believe in it, he feels black americans have all the same opportunities as white americans,

he agrees slavery was horrible, but we've had enough time to rebuild. He literally sees every single example of racism and institutionalized oppression as an excuse because black folk are lazy and squander their opportunities.

i mean, no worries, your boy here is the king of insulting niggaz in the most creative of ways.....i've effectively called homies grandma a idiot and said that all ehr social economic commentary is stricken from the record...she has no references and is talking out her ass...

that pissed him off.....but eh, when you banking a whole argument on your grand ma saying

"is he smart enough to put food in his mouth and not his ass? then he smart enough to get a good job"

shorty's credibility into what the fuck she's talking about gonna come into question.....

YOOOOOO LMAOOOOOOO IM DEAD
 
@King Du. When you travel you will find that they don’t shit on Americans as much as you may think. I am sure that seems like the loudest voices but not a true representation of what I have experienced but then again I am not a Black American or consider myself to be one. But the we are not the only group of people that seem to have a separation between people born in America and where they are really from. Once you move away or are taken away from your true homeland there is going to be division if you let it. There is this stereotype that Caribbean people are all hard working and do 20 jobs and I can tell you that is not the case. I have some of the laziest families members you ever want to meet. But you also have to remember that America used to be presented as this place that the street was painted as gold. People really believe that all you have to do is make it to America and you will have everything. Like there is no work involved in becoming rich here. After the recent hurricane you cant imagine how many calls for money I got. Just because I make money here.

I ain't got no filter. I member I had this one job where I work with giant chick name Francis, that chick was like 6'5. She'd always talk about how her sister was a player. Saying she could pull any guy she talked to. Well one day she brought her sister to work, and when I say this chick was ugly... she looked worse than sloth from the goonies.

So me and Francis was having a conversation and she goes my sister a pimp. Sometimes I do, we'll most of the times I'll say shit just because. I said something along the lines of her sister being ugly. That was the first time I was ever punched by a tall chick
