She looks and sounds like an Italian/Hispanic, not African. As far as 'our sound' goes, well, that's debatable. 'Our sound' covers a LOT of bases.​


many hispanics are blacker than african americans. u not gon use these connotations to remove blackness from a situation when u feel like it.

You do realize that Grande is her real name and not her stage name right? :skip:

She has been od’ing on AAVE lately though.

I said pronounciation Breh, a quick google search would have saved you some time.

Her name is supposed to be pronounced Gran-DEE but she changed how she pronounced it to Grand-DEH "for more mass appeal"

Im not trying to go at her as none of this is a big deal, But looking at all the facts she is likely trying to ride the latinx wave.

If you go so far as to change how you pronounce your own name... thats telling imo. :manny:

Oh you don't?
My fact-based context supersedes your emotional reaction.
No I don't. :stopitslime: Pretty sure I've mentioned that before on this site. And I'm not emotional. Not sure why so many of you respond to women by calling them emotional. I'm not emotional but I'm definitely enjoying whats going on in this thread.

These clowns have too much time on their hands. So what if she’s trying to look Hispanic? She’s not hurting anyone.

I saw you mentioned Argentina, Argentina is on a whole nother level when it comes to white and it isnt a mystery. That is where all the war vets and nazis from Europe fled to and if you look a ttheir population especially in Buenos Aires, they even had a policy to only accept white Europeans into their country at one point from their leaders. It bugged me out seeing how European they looked, out of all the South American countries, Argentina might be one of the most european looking countries out of all em, they barely mixed with indians and kept their German roots strong there.
They massacred the black men by sending brehs to fight frontline in a war
Blackout: How Argentina ‘Eliminated’ Africans From Its History And Conscience
and then took liberty with the women.
:mjpls: because there was a HUGE GENDER GAP post slavery due to it. Much like ours...but worse.
(People should never compare BM/WW to BW/WM until they can find a modern parallel equal to placage and shyt like that. They won't. It's tactical wenching for power.)
Covert Genocides also occurred in the 1860s-80s. Black people were forced to live in diseased areas and/or "disappeared"
:mjpls:

the name grande sounds hispanic. hispanics are often black or of black ancestry. like i said before, it’s more nikkas in spanish speaking countries than english.

u sound like u only measure ppl by skin color instead of the properties of their culture.
He's a continental.
To some of them, the only true blacks are other continentals.

Influence is power when concentrated correctly

Would you rather the world go back to dikkriding cacs and their culture? With that comes dikkriding their mindset and mentality too
