OPINION Black against the world

Judge Dread said:
@King Du. When you travel you will find that they donā€™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.

As I've gotten older and started travelling, I've experienced this numerous times in the Caribbean.

It could be that a lot of these places depend on tourist dollars a main source of income, but I've had conversations been been in situations with locals that seemed genuine.

A few times just touring with my wife and son I've had people give us extended tours and recommendations just based of the type of conversation we've had. But identifying as an Israelite has changed how approach others and that coild have something to do with it. Like there was on time were were in a taxi with a whit family going to a shopping district. They asked about a tour and the guide told them he would take them for $30. They declined and got out. Once the left, the driver told us he'd take us on the same tour for free lol.
 
also @BNE I dont know too many Black people that view Africa as some downtrodden, desolte, wasteland. you have to understand Black Americans tend to romanticize Africa.

sometimes overly romaticize it with these often false king and queen narratives.

I dont know too many Black ppl that speak ill of Africa. I work with kids, 4th graders, and when asked what places they would like to visit, its usually a toss up between Japan and Africa.

this idea that Black Americans hate Africa is hard for me to get behind because a lot of us, the majority, cling so heavy to african culture. so many want to be included and apart of the land.

In BNE defense that's who you know personally same way Du or myself knows people. The world is a big place and that is understated sometimes and people come from different points views. It's a beautiful thing because you can get conversations like this where individuals through different walks of life can bring their own perspective. I think end of the day we can all agree......this is cacs fault for starting all this division bullshit on top of mass media manipulation

Consciously speaking ill of Africa isn't common but possessing negative stereotypes and having underlying thoughts that it's some uncivilised land, absolutely. that's not unique to Black Americans though.


I do understand the romanticization of Africa but you have to acknowledge the problematic attitudes held toward it too, usually because it isn't depicted accurately damn near anywhere.

look man, that's what we have in black america,

we have the dozens, the roast.. that's our culture, that's what we do..it's part of our identity...

cracking jokes, snaps, whatever.. it's ours.. we have it....

niggaz get in a group, and go joke for joke, whoever wins is the king of the schoolyard... always been like that....

that's how rap started.. niggaz who was witty, get on the mic and entertain the crowd....

that's our thing, our art form, the battle rap today....still playing to the crowd.... anything about you.... we take it and use it verbally against you...

we're a verbally sparring people..

if a african nigga show up all built n shit, talking all proper, faster than inggaz, got chicks on him,....

we ain't gonna hate crime, him... we ain't cac who burn crosses or beat, drag, or hang people up who different, we....roast.....we crack jokes....

and if u can crack back u cool.....



black history 101...

after february i'm charging niggaz
 
It's a lot of cooning going on in Africa.

A lot of them Africa dudes and women be on some coon shit, especially when they come over here or go to England/Spain/Canada

Thinking whites are some good ole ppl
 
we're the most imitated group of people on the fucking planet and we dont embrace our identity...

the entire hip-hop culture that has successfully been dramatically been impacting trends over the world for the past 30 yeas does not originate in africa.. it originates in the black ghettos of america.

our symbolism of rebels with the black panthers still resonates today....our music our fashion our style..all things that illustrate our experience here are often duplicated...

niggaz in africa be tryna dress like niggaz in america, and niggaz in america be tryna be liek niggaz in africa...

shit hilarious...


ain't no african tupac......at least jamaica got bob marley.....
