Apparently Americans have just discovered there are black Scottish ppl.

[ReasonableMatic]

Social media with a well-spirited moment of black americans finding out and making videos joking with black scottish folks, and them replying in turn

Thecoli.com turns it weird

Shows how rotted some people's brains are with the tether nonsense that is used to pit us against each other

You should blame American media and education. We are very closed minded and closed off to what is really happening outside of our country

(US) imperialism requires its citizens to believe in the empire.

So American Media and Education teaches US Exceptionalism and US Fascism to its citizens.

Perpetuating widespread domestic close-minded and out of touch worldviews. To ensure the connection that the empire is the root cause of domestic and global issues isn’t made.

So radical anti-imperial political thought in line with the Black Panther Party was killed off, suppressed and replaced with



I’ve traveled a lot and there’s Black ppl all over the world.

Blackness in different linguistic, cultural and geographical frameworks is fascinating as hell to me.

Blackness comes in many fonts.

There are Africans who immigrated to Scotland?

I wonder what would be the wildest accent spoken by a black man?

Russian?

They exist...... so don't be shocked...

Lisbon is probably one of the blackest cities in the world outside of Africa lol

Sintra Line (Linha De Sintra) is comprised of a long strip of housing projects connected through a railway line and majority of the residents are black people

Full of Angolans, Cape Verdeans, Guineans, Brazillians, Mozambicans. You also find Cubans, Colombians, Nigerians, Ghanaians.

Portugal is one of the best places to vacay. Great weather, cool food, and relatively cheap (money can go a long way) and the night life is incredible. Plus, as a black person, you never feel out of place since it's one of the blackest places in Europe. Personally, white portuguese women are overrated on the coli in my opinion, but there's such a big selection of women in Portugal that it doesn't even matter. Like, there's black women from everywhere there and all sorts of admixtures - and if you're a coli pawger you also run into europeans from everywhere since everyone goes to Portugal because of the climate. Hell, the south of Portugal is damn near a British colony

Delete tbis..... I don't need a bunch of Coli brehs ruining Lisboa for me...... last time I was there I was walking by a restaurant and some dudes were comversing with some girls and were bringing up Kevin Samuels talking points and mentioning the man by his name saying "Have you heard of Kevin Samuels? He said, etc etc" ...... Keep Portugal Great...

I occasionally watch a Nigerian-Scot on yt who knows nothing about black America. Nothing. Nothing about our history, nothing about our hbcu's, nothing about the divine 9, nothing about our inventors, nothing. Talks crazy about racism and reparations, off code than a mf, all that.

Would it be appropriate for me to make a thread slandering Afro- Scots?

Yall are tiresome. Took what should have been a cute diaspora meeting vibe and turned it into the same 'FBA bad' shyt as usual. And then gon turn around in the next thread and call us divisive.

They make up 1% of the population. Why are folks acting as if they are a known commodity on the world scene that “should” be known?

 

[Jazzy B.]

How come they’re not being called “African”?

Maybe not all have come directly from Africa
Some may have come from the West Indies or other parts of Europe.

Thank goodness for aeroplanes

Slightly un related and tangential but your post made me think. I am very curious about what they teach about the diaspora in African schools across the continent because I’ve met a few who don’t know much if anything at all about it. There are many that thought Jamaica was in Africa. Then they emigrate to the western world and are shocked.
Again tho if they are getting books from the western world and teaching to the western curriculum there wouldn’t be much in textbooks and knowledge passed down over time would be lost.
I can see how they would be caught up in propaganda perpetuated by the western media. It’s not till the rise of social media that they have the opportunity to really see for themselves. I also get the impression that with the rise of the internet and easier access those on the continent resonate with black struggle more and embrace Jamaica for example much more than Africans in the western hemisphere. Even though many were well aware of Jamaica from the days of Bob Marley. The ones here especially back in the day would pretend to be Jamaican even the first generation ones, but in the last 15 years or so with the rise of Afro beats etc that has changed.

Do you mean like “Afro-Scottish”? The UK doesn’t use the term “African” followed by the destination country. I’m guessing it would be “Black Scottish, Black Irish” same as it is Black British.

Look at the nuance when speaking on continental Africans! Whole paragraphs with no snark, just pure love and understanding.

I can’t give nuance to a place I don’t know without it being pure conjecture. Of this long paragraph I wrote if you knew any of the answers yourself it would be helpful to add some nuance if you have any instead of using sarcasm to point out something I didn’t know; when I already said I was curious meaning I didn’t have the answer.
Do you?

Feel free to add nuance where relevant, that would be more enriching than sarcasm.

Don’t speak about ppl being divisive then turn around and mock those who are curious. The soap in the soapbox your standing on is slippery when wet.

Unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying. I’ve been here too long
