Apparently Americans have just discovered there are black Scottish ppl.

Black Russians have it the worst..



And can someone explain what the fukk it means when people declare that other people have no lineage or culture..like how retarded do you have to be to think that

I think the attached is a very clear example of what I said earlier. The world is shocked that America is the richest and most influential country in the world and a large amount of its people loudly and proudly know absolutely nothing about how it works and those involved and how it affects them.

It’s embarrassing as a black person to see when some of those loud ignorant voices are other black people too. I don’t care about the white ones, I expect ignorance from them.

I remember as a kid when media used to show a lot of black exceptionalism, a lot of black university graduates, pro black families, back to Africa movements, black educators freedom fighters etc etc but now social media is a gift and a curse when ppl can show themselves vs controlled media. It is my own failing and naivety to not know that we come in ignorant too, I just thought the number was smaller. The black Scottish thing is not even the issue cos of exposure; but I take umbrage with this particular post/ tweet for some reason as it shows just how isolated y’all are as a people with this fake projection of globalism. The rest of the world knows sooooooooooo much about you through consumption of your own media because of this giant spotlight on you, through your own news and tv; when in turn Americans on a whole looks back at the world through a tiny key hole.
Someone on this board dm’d me about this particular topic saying “it’s not that we didn’t know about them we just don’t care” and that was the saddest thing I’ve ever heard as it’s indicative of a larger problem. Tbf every day on this board is a disappointment, the back and forth discourse, the division, the wilful ignorance of real ppl who chose to be their true selves behind the anonymity of a key board. This microcosm is a snapshot of the whole. The American propaganda machine did its job on some of you a lil too well. The experiment was a success or a failure depending on how you look at it I guess. It is very very very disheartening.
Mods lock this thread down please, I’ve had enough. I’m tired and I just woke up.

People have been saying that about Americans for decades now.

There’s something about America’s education system or culture that dumbs down Americans and makes them reactionary or regressive.

Trump’s political success is a good example of this phenomenon.

Decades surprises me TBH. I was thinking it may be 2 generations deep or so.

Based on the IG comments, even many Black people in England didn't know that Black Scottish people existed lol.

Anyway, I'm not gonna lie, it is weird hearing a Scottish accent come out of a Black person's mouth. It just doesn't feel right

As opposed to the stereotypical Toronto accent

White people traveled the world, conquered & settled in different corners of the world.

Its lovely to see black people now diversifying, immigrating to living in different corners of the world & raising future generations there.

Im sure future generations we will see black Spanish, black Italians, black Saudis, black russians etc

We everywhere bro. Shyt, I was surprised by just how many Cape Verdeans and Afro-Portuguese I saw in Portugal when I went to Europe for the first time. It was really cool to see.

Cape Verdians speak Portuguese, kinda like how Spain has alot od spanish speakers from central and South America. Or America has alot of immigrants from English soeaking countries

Almost all Black immigrants that move to the UK settle in England. Black Scottish people make up a miniscule number of the UK's population.

Many black immigrants in Ireland & Scotland, because back in the 90s & 2000s it was much easier to get a permanent residence over there than in England.

Black women in Portugal are the best looking black women in a western country or outside of a black country
