This is the ultimate try hard thread
In all my years growing up in this city I've never heard of no African Street gangs, they keep mostly to themselves to worry about that shyt. In NYC, they're are too focused on education and networking to worry about fitting in compared to Carribeans.
Y'all dumbasses need to stop hating on our AA brothers and sisters.
And stop with your damn attitudes when you get here.
Stop acting like AAs ain't the reason that yo ass is here enjoying yourselves anyway in America.
Enjoying all the freedoms you take for granted.
Stop acting like y all ain't get yo swag from AAs.
Y'all dress like AAs
Y'all hang in the same circles.
Yall listen to rap and hip hop and house and techno and r&b and AA music.
Y'all take part in AA culture
I say this as a Nigerian West Indian first gen.
Stop the bullshyt.
I'm sick of us getting a bad rep and having people think that we all hate AAs or something.
I'm sick of that man!
Most of us fukk with y all and have been.
And we support y all and always will.
There's a reason rappers from here get love when y all come back to motherland!
Africa is the greatest!
AAs are the reason America is America.
Without Black people. There is no America.
The greatest President America had....was BLACK!
We need to start building more with our AA FAMILY here and abroad.
Start supporting more black first initiatives in America.
Help teach our AA FAMILY about real African culture and history.
Start building up more opportunities for AAs in other countries.
Not all of us are c00ns.
And Y all c00ns reading this can get out here.

I'm not a fukking HispanicThe line of mine that you quoted said "new African immigrant kids holding weapons to avoid getting victimized" which surely happened when you were coming of age and happens in 2017.
This is the second reply in this thread which states that I wrote that ethnic tensions among Blacks exists in the form of gang warfare . In reality I wrote that the existing tensions play out in k-12, in close living quarters of the hood, on college campuses.etc. I mentioned ethnic tensions AND past street level confrontations which took place among hispanic groups to a hispanic poster to illustrate an example of ethnic tensions existing in the real world.
I then mentioned existing ethnic tensions AND past street level confrontations among African groups in current Caribbean enclaves in BK and MIA.
Interesting what people notice and what they ignore.

its just a reference to this videoYou have a DR city in your tag, I figured you were of that background.
This "beef" between AAs and Caribbean people is nonexistent in the real world and is only pushed by a few miserable souls on the Coli
Several of my friends & acquaintances are AA and we don't distinguish each other, we're all black men in America. Multiple people in my family, men and women, are married to AAs. My girlfriend is half WI & AA herself (Bahamian father, AA mother) This beef is completely contrived and falsified
I agree, Caribbeans and AAs fukk with each other too heavy to actually beef offline.you mean Nigerians.
As i've said before take Nigerians and Somalians out and this "beef" is near nonexistent
especially English speaking Caribbean people.I agree, Caribbeans and AAs fukk with each other too heavy to actually beef offline.
In fact for the most part offline, AAs & Caribbean nikkas never ever beef and are virtually so tight-knit socially that everyone's origins are barely even brought up when we intermingle daily (unless there is a lighthearted discussion about food or our family background.)
I think it's due to the fact, AAs & Caribbeans date, marry, associate and befriend each other at a much higher rate than AAs do with any other black group.
i've literally never seen a Somali until last year and that was in Europe
anyway i have and have never had no problem with AAs but i'm not going to bend over for anyone or be made to feel less than![]()
nah i'm "an island nikka" as @Poitier saysI thought you were AA
Let's not get too carried away here.
The purpose of this thread was to bring people together and not divide.
I just told fellow Africans and West Indians to check themselves that's all. Nothing more. I have to hold accountability for my people's and respect and love for all man.
you mean Nigerians.
As i've said before take Nigerians and Somalians out and this "beef" is near nonexistent
Even for Somalis, most of these online trolls live in Europe and elsewhere
American Somalis generally have no beef with AA's.
