The other point I'm going to make is that a lot of niggas talking about Drake's Blackness sound a lot like them FBA niggas with their policing. The commentary looks very similar and ridiculous.
Have you ever called a Puerto Rican a Mexican and seen the visceral reaction?
Or a Korean a Japanese person?
Lol, every group does policing because they have pride in what they are.
Race in the 21st century and beyond will be a dead concept anyway.
There's too many African and Caribbean immigrants in America to walk around pretending everyone is just Black.
Shit, "everyone is just Black" died when White women started demanding to have their kids be called Mixed. They weren't gonna let their kids be tainted.
Shit, many Africans that immigrated to the West, particularly America, let it be known that they did not considered themselves Black until they came over here.
Blackness and being Black isn't a race or a cultural thing. It's a condition. It's a status. It's where the desirables put the undesirables. It's a way of stripping a group of people from an identity.
Asians in the UK used to be called Black.
So yeah, Drake isn't Black like that. He's one of these transient people that attaches himself to Blackness because America purposely promoted Black American culture after the Civil Rights Movement to showcase the progressiveness of America to the Global South to prevent Communism.
Black Americans became a dominant force in popular culture due America being an empire.
So any Caribbean or African or Canadian European or whatever that wants to be dominant in the West, has to come through Black Americans.
And Hip Hop is so connected to the native Black American experience, that Drake had to learn how to be Black American.
