Ab-Soul: I'm not a "black" man, I am a man.

[Apollo Creed]

Serious question: are you black? Do you consider yourself black?

At the end of the day this whole "Black" title is only applicable in the Americas. You ever noticed a Cuban or any Afro Latino will come to America be dark as night and be on some "hell naw I aint black I`m Dominican", even Africans be on that ish.

"Black" is what we are in the literal sense, but even that isn't literal since many of us aren't literally black, we are just non White. Outside of America people go by their Ethnic Group, in the Americas ( well more so USA/Canada) Blacks don't have ethnic groups since majority that are native to the land have slave ancestry. If USA was Nigeria there would be no such thing as Black, if you are from a certain area 9/10 you would be referred to by the ethnic group "native" to the area. The Black Man/ So Called Negros history was literally wiped away, so you can't get mad when someone with African Ancestry comes to America and looks at you dumb when you call them black. The only time these people are look dumb is when they want to deny that Melaninated people have has a common Origin in Africa.

There's a simple solution, that these new blacks ain't getting.

You are more than just "black". You are a man/women, etc.

The fact that they keep phrasing it the same, lends me to believe someone is telling/teaching them to renounce their blackness.


I get that new age message, that we are all connected and we are all the same. True. At the core, we are made of the same particles and ingredients, but we are all different too. Embrace all that you are, and all that makes you different, this is what makes you who you are.

It became about skin color when white people decided that anyone that has their skin color (regardless of origin in Europe) is superior to any person with brown as their skin color(regardless of origin in Africa). Why did they decide that? Because in numbers there is strength! It's through skin color that, despite a history filled with wars, European countries actually sat down in Berlin, Germany in 1984-1985 to draw on a pink map of Africa which european countries were gonna stay with which African lands. Forcing tribes that had never before been cool with each other to mix and share the same space because:
"Well, this land is now called South–Africa/Nigeria/Zimbabwé, and it belongs to us, mm'kay?"


So well, that's the whole point of identifying as black in the first place breh; numbers. If you've got another point of identity that can get 45,003,665 people together under one cause then please substitute that for "Black". By all means.

That's why when that Raven shyt happened I said: "I don't care about whether you wanna be called Black instead of African-American, just don't act like the only thing you want to be seen as is human" because deep down the other side sees themselves as "white-people" even if they outright deny it to your face.

where's my dress because i certainly don't have any. i don't even watch rupaul, fukker. what's wrong with watching rupaul or watching dresses anyway? more power to those that do. you need to stop projecting the insecurities of your manhood onto me, man.

see, i don't even know where you dudes get all this homophobic shyt from or assuming that because a guy is gay that automatically means that he wants to be a drag queen or a woman. i'm no more or less of a man than you, breh. i'm attracted to the same sex but that certainly doesn't mean i'm a bytch so don't get it twisted.

That's debatable since your entire existence and purpose for being alive and here on this earth is to procreate with women and create more life so by that definition you failed being a man and are something else altogether but I'ma let you cook breh

It was just a joke anyway, stop actin like a fakkit. Pun intended

Damn white ppl messed some of yall heads up.. Man states an opinion and some of the first words out of some of yall mouths is " Well white people don't think of you that way " " the police don't think of you that way"

I guess we aren't free to have our own ideas ? and some of yall really need to kill this #newblack crap. It's stupid, a lot of black people that grew up poor/in the hood think black people from the suburbs are soft, kiss white people ass to live there, so where does it stop?


Yall stay indirectly dissing the black race by pigeon holding each other. " You can't possible be black".

getting mad at what an entertainer's standards are.

Besides, true "black" people of actual high consciousness and not your average troglodyte going on about the illuminiati are aware of how little the term "black" actually means and how this body is nothing more than just a shell.

But again, most of you fools are so caught up in terminology and labels you'll shut out anyone who doesn't declare to be black, but then go even further and snark about how "we ain't black, we AFRICAN"

"New Blacks" don't exist anymore than just a scapegoat, an easy target for you keyboard ass militant to attack and act like you accomplished something. When your ass is actually doing the white man's work of allowing petty identity politics to cloud your judgement so cannot unite on the bigger issues.

Here, lemme drop some knowledge for you Nasheedians and Macbook Militants.

I know some Cuban and even puerto rican people that to identify as black. They recognize and acknowledge themselves as black people (Afro Latino)

Let me be blunt for a second. It doesn't matter what part of the planet you live on, if you look black, then you are considered black to me.

Ab soul is on some bullshyt.

So basically you agree with the #newblack narrative
