you're NOT African American.... so again what is your purpose?
African American coli, breh, CAN you define yourself beyond just not being white?
i think this question is more your speed^the better question would be: why cant NON AAs define their blackness with out comparing themselves to AAs?
African American coli, breh, CAN you define yourself beyond just not being white?
The majority of posts in that thread were from angry, barely literate, scared posters who want to ignore that other people in this case Caribbean people and later Africans can have different cultures and don't understand there is nothing wrong with that. Where did I say I'm special? Just accept the fact I have a different background than AA's and again there is nothing wrong with that. You're just writing crap just to type it at this point you're really insecure dude."It took awhile to come out but it did"? What did? You sounds like a slave master and you don't even realize it. Poitier and you are ignorant clowns who want to forcefully assimilate all blacks into Americans.
exactly, so why are you commenting?

exactly, so why are you commenting?
Why are so reluctant to answer the question? Can you?
I'm just chillen in the cut. Maybe you're an octoroon? You have such a vibrant culture and rich heritage I'm sure there are a lot of things you identify with and as. Seriously.
...maybe your a dumb ass like OP.
what does how i self identify have to do with you or any other Caribbean?
I see you didn't answer my question
maybe you didnt see it.
why cant Non AAs define THEIR Blackness without comparing themselves to AAs?

I guess non-AAs would first have to define their blackness by comparing themselves to AAs in the first place.
You have some very interesting preconceived notions about people from other backgrounds.
Personally I've never felt the need to compare myself to anyone but perhaps that's because I'm confident in who I am.
Obviously he does if he feels this way...
As usual throw rocks and hide you hands, Im hip to you and Non AAs who operate like you do.
That fake innocent act doesn't work on me.
if you felt that way you wouldnt have even commented on this thread now would you?
Im just perplexed by the obsession of AAs by NON AAs.
One minute we suffer from an inferiority complex then the next week you're concerned with our culture and how WE self identify
you claim to hate being lumped as AAs and want to be defined by your OWN culture, yet you dedicate your time to AAs and not the CULTURE you claim to be so proud of.
why dont you ask your fellow Caribbeans to identify Without a history that involves Great Britain(particularly of enslavement, injustice, racism, etc...) ?
why is the self identificaton of AAs of absolute importance to you over the culture/island youre so proud of?
Then NON-AA blacks get mad when the story of blackness is often told through the lens of AAs.
its quite baffling.

You seem pretty insecure from where I'm standing.

A group of Mfs worried about a group of people they claim to want NOTHING to do with? but I'm insecure?
AS usual when AAs come with ether MFs want to PROJECT & DEFLECT.
Are you done acting out yet? Want to give a shot at the op yet, buddy?
I'm not projecting or deflecting I answered the question you asked me. You're the one having a little temper tantrum the last two pages.
temper tantrum lol
your the one who loathes AAs but you sure as hell in ever thread made in our honor.
in here posting these corny ass passive aggressive smileys.

you really are pathetic!
why would i not be?I answered this a few minutes ago for you.
I have US citizenship as well. Something you're so very proud of and clearly use to measure as some barometer.
you want us to be like you; ashamed of ourselves, our legacy, and country of origin and it just eats you up inside that we aren't.

lol at this catfight
"She" certainly has the victim card down pat. I always viewed "her" as such so I don't understand why "she" felt it was necessary to invoke it.
you are a bytch boy who got called out
you still havent answered my question either
why are you more concerned with the identity of AAs than that of you own people?
Obviously he does if he feels this way...

Caribbean Americans are just as invited to answer this too
I think it is the same question for them as well
I do think some of islands may have some advantages because they are homogeneous
not sure what's up with the big letters of anger
the question is a valid oneI don't want to taint the pool of answers by diving into my motivations for the thread but rest assured they are quite benign
