Dude what the hell are you talking about? Why disrespect this man's family because he shared his experience and you can't relate to it? I constantly see you disrespecting African Americans and I get it, you're African and feel marginalized in a way because when people across the world think black people they think African Americans. When the average non black person is asked to name the coolest (or flyest, most athletic, best musician, most wealthy, most beautiful) black person that they know they will name an African American. The influence on the world of black people from the Americas is unrivaled.
But we shouldn't be fighting with each other, we are brothers and sisters separated by birth who are meeting again as strangers. it seems you have some issues relating to African Americans because you do not truly understand the experience of growing up in an enemies land being constantly targeted and discriminated against in every facet of your life. I'm not trying to insult you, but most of your post come off very corny, and as a woman I can smell insecurity and overall corniness in a man from a mile away. I don't know your in life persona (you could be just trolling) but your posts consistently read like the kid who doesn't fit in with the popular kids so he tells himself that he is better than the crowd to justify him eating alone at lunch . But if you do feel that way I must ask, why are you even on the coli? It's a forum built off the sub forums of SOHH, which has existed since the late 90's as a meeting place for young black Americans to discuss the culture that we created, hip hop.
My great grandmother is having her 93rd birthday party next month. If you have family that is based in the USA then you know many people with living great great grand parents. My great great grandparents were alive my entire childhood. My great grandma will be 93, my grandma is 70, my mom in her fifties. And yes I heard many stories from my great great, great, grandparents and parents about the lives of black people in America before I was born as well as the lives of black people in Puerto Rico before i was born that I have never seen published in anywhere. Because guess what, not everyone who experiences something is a fukking author or historian that wants their story told. That does not mean it didn't happen, especially in a country where black voices have been silenced for over 400 years.
I'm not trying to disrespect you or pull rank, but there is no comparison between taking an African American studies class and living the African American experience and hearing the stories directly from pieces of living breathing history. And I took African American culture classes at Howard (undergrad) and can tell you that even those were tame and white/blackwashed compared to the experiences of those who lived it. I took African culture classes as well but I wouldn't pop up in a conversation about the continent (or specific countries) as if I were a respected voice on it just because I read a few books on the subject, without any real world experience living there. shyt my maternal grandmother grew up on a fukking plantation in south Georgia for Christ sakes, needless to say my family has no tolerance for cacs and their lies.
What if I told you that the people of La Perla, PR look exactly like the people of Harlem, NYC but American mainstream media kept the "white" Puerto Rican as the face of the country to push tourism from WS in America and Europe while keeping a separation between Spanish speaking blacks and English speaking blacks in the Americas because combined they would outnumber the cacs? What if I told you that black people didnt really make up 12% of America but will never be told their true population because the WS don't want the black people thinking they would have a chance in a revolution because they are too outnumbered? I have no literary source for that so it must be a conspiracy theory I heard from some street preacher somewhere right?
These fukked up things did happen and some of us were blessed (or cursed depending on how you look at it) to hear of these cacs savagery directly from people who were there.

....the fucc?
