American’s getting clowned on Twitter for calling Sean Paul a culture vulture

[Kasgoinjail]

You're an idiot. Creoles are a subset demographic of black americans. And creoles have no relation to the Portuguese.

Portuguese creoles (Portuguese: crioulo) are creole languages which have Portuguese as their substantial lexifier. The most widely-spoken creoles influenced by Portuguese are Cape Verdean Creole, Guinea-Bissau Creole and Papiamento.

the term was never exclusive to black americans, it was used for any group that mixed with the french, spanish, and portuguese. it is first and foremost about the mixing of language and religion (catholicism). in the US, i believe the first creoles were even from alabama, specifically mobile, not even louisiana.

Im astounded as to why many assume they are the only ones of mixed heritage its quite bizarre.

The same rape and forceful 'economic' relations happened throughout the diaspora through slavery and colonialism...

I understand if school didn't educate on this topic however we are all big enough to use Internet resources now

They let this cac rock though

Fire song tho

They let this cac rock though

Who did?

I recall him getting backlash when that song dropped as many felt it was a imitation of welcome to JamRock.

Big tune though.

He’s bermudian not Jamaican btw

As an American, I can tell you that it is due to American Exceptionalism. Whites aren't the only ones who suffer from it but a lot of black folks too.

I should've been my clear, I was referring to (black) American creoles.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Motherfukkers be wasting time over shyt thats not even a issue

Same people arguing going to log off and wondering how they going to pay this months car note

Imagine Twitter didn’t exist.

How would the whole world know how culturally underdeveloped and unintelligent so many Americans are.

Not knowing that Sean Paul is not Black and that he is 100% a real Jamaican is outright stupidity.

U literally just typed out there are no Jamaican Creoles

Spanish were on the Island prior to the British

I never once mentioned black americans. U did. U thought they were the only creoles to exist

 

[Flywin Lannister]

I've talked to more then 15 Americans since I've been up today. None of them ever mentioned Sean Paul in any context whatsoever. If I was to show them this topic, they'd all shrug their shoulders and continue on their task at hand.

Who are these Americans these people are referring to

You think 15 people represent the average cultural insight of all Americans.

Boy, do I have news for you.

 

[Flywin Lannister]

If the people making this claim are not Jamaican, then it is none of their damn business. Maybe if people stopped trying to interject themselves in group politics and issues that are not their place to comment on, we wouldn't have so much animosity happening in the diaspora.

Many Americans think non-Americans are sitting around waiting for their approval.

This just couldn’t be further from the truth.
