Black Americans benefit from Mixed Race

[KingDanz]

Don't give me that strawman. I didn't say Ancient Egypt wasn't black. I said African Americans have nothing to do with it. Sweden and France are both white countries in Europe. Do they have the same history? Do they have remotely the same culture? Not really. It was built by black people who weren't West African. The issue with black people is they think of Africa is this monolithic, homogenous entity when it's not.
I specifically said African Americans and not black Americans because African Americans are generally what people say to refer to the descendants of slaves. If you really think Egypt had anything to do with people living thousands of miles away on the Western Coast of Africa then I guess you can also tell me that Ancient Greece was built by Norwegians. That is essentially what you're doing. It's still black history but hey I guess what Germany did counts for all of Europe since it's white history, right? See when I use European countries you realize how dumb it sounds to paint an entire continent as a monolithic homogenous group.

What black people, can't be referring to me. When African Americans argue the accomplishments of Ancient Kemet, it is more in defense to accusations that black people haven't contributed to the progression of civilization or are tribal savages. They aren't claiming they are blood relatives to those people. So scholars give lectures on Ancient Kemet, the Ghana Empire etc and group them in one, and might even implement some of the cultural practices for whatever reason, to a people that have been stripped of their previous culture. Then people like you argue saying "oh it's not your history"... when you don't even see it's needed if your taught in school systems that you were nothing before slavery.

How do you know where black Americans come from? You don't think some of the people here could have ancestors from ancien Egypt. You want to have it both ways. If it is negative you wanna project it on ALL black folks, but when somebody says some positive shyt it's "oh those weren't your ancestors"

If we really wanna look back we ALL came from Africa, so we ALL deserve credit for Human achievement.

Now I'm done, I feel like my IQ is going backwards with every word I type toward you stupid mufukkas.

Another strawman. Not surprising. You even pulled out the whole "WE ARE ALL BLACK IN THE END." card. Wow. If African Americans do something positive I won't take that away from them. I just don't get the whole wanting to get credit for a history they don't own. If a German tried to say German's built Ancient Rome you'd look at him like he's crazy.... yeah IQ's are getting lowered because you people are too busy eating nuts and berries, beating on drums instead of reading and understanding history. That "Feel good" shyt doesn't work for me. I like facts, numbers and figures.

Sorry to break your heart.

 

[Wesley Pipes quotes]

Let's not kid ourselves, when someone is mixed with Black, no matter where in this world, they are looked at, as Black. I don't know why, but it's just the way it is. Maybe it's the history, I can't explain.

But at the same time, it's something that you can't deny, has benefited, both mixed and so-called pure Blacks. Cause look at other regions of this Hemisphere, and in all reality, if their Afro descended population would've adopted this way of thought, they would be a lot further than they are.


And now you even see Afro communities in Latin America, coming to the conclusion that they need to adopt the model that we've had in this country.

Really? Enlighten me

I love the American idea of Blackness, it's not just about color, it's about inclusion. And so many beautiful things have come out it.

 

[Premeditated]

It's almost as if wesley wants us to say

"The black community wouldn't be shyt without mixed blacks"





U can't even have pride lol

that's exactly what he's saying. I know he likes to give this impression that he's doing it for the better of the black people, but for all the bytching that he subliminally post in these race threads, he still doesn't have any solutions. He thinks we don't notice.

I asked a legitimate question and you and that other clown can't answer it. It's just a question breh. Why so defensive?

 

[Premeditated]

these c00ns are really gonna act like white people don't take credit for black beauty.

Hell, just last year some cacs were taking credit for Miss Angola winning Miss Universe by saying she wasn't full black. Some people even said she had white Cuban in her and she was mixed with Portuguese. Even though it wasn't remotely true.

Anyways, op is trying to get a plat.

In Colombia, Uruguay, and even now in Brasil, there's more of the thought, off trying to get away from Moreno, Mulatto, Pardo, Zambo etc, and just look at Blackness. Because, they realize that no matter the skin color, as long as the Black part of you is obvious to see, they are all facing the same struggle. And they are all at the bottom of the social ladder, so coming together on the foundation of what they have in common, will help them progress, and be taken more seriously by the greater society.

Just read this

But we all know blacks are the only one who take the credit. No other race goes as hard to claim the full achievements of mixed race person as blacks.

So you really gonna act like black and mixed people werent lynched together in america? You really gonna act like black women never looked after their mixed babies after they were raped by slavemasters lol? You really gone act like the black community aint been a safe haven for mixed people.

I don't even think you're trolling which is worse.

I don't disagree with you.

But again I asked this question specifically to black Americans. We aren't talking about white people. I know that's the go to play like all streaks but stick to the op.

That's an emotional response. You're arguing from an emotional standpoint. From that standpoint you can use that to explain to white people that blacks aren't all savages.

That wasn't my point at all. I'm talking about different countries having different histories. I'm not even talking about skin tone. Tell me China and japan have the same history. How about France and Spain. I'm not talking about skin color here. I'm talking about history.

Really? Enlighten me

There's been a culture awakening going on for quite some time across Latin America where individuals (alot of whom who are of mixed ancestry in the same sense the word 'mixed' is used by some to classify the ancestry of Afro Americans) are reclaiming their African heritage and are demanding social and political equality. Go watch a documentary or pick up something from George Reid Andrews if you want to be enlightened, because I dont know if you're trolling or not.

Regardless there should be more discussion about the history of Black people in Latin America, their story is just as important as ours and West Indians

I didn't say we were all "black" I said we are all descendant from Africa. Which is a fact since you claim to like facts. Nobody wants "credit" for anything. Nobody "owns" history. If a German said that Germans built Rome they would be looked at as crazy, but if they said SOME people of roman descent built Germany they would be correct.

you people, nuts and berries, beating on drums. Pure blatant racism that you like to deny. I'm not even the type to be tellin on people but since I can't beat your ass over the interwebs it may be time to report you.

nikka you just said no other race tries to claim people.

and lol @ you listing somebody like Rashida Jones or Stacey Dash as if they're some heavy hitters.

So you admit that you are pulling on the exceptions and you're making the exceptions swallow the rule? Pull on the 1% of Ancient Egypt that had a West African sprinkled here and there and BOOM!

Right?

Nuts and berries and drums is just a phrase. it's not racist.
