Breakdancing(1938)

[Wiseborn]

Your video states 1959, so you actually copied an FBAs thread idea to start popping shyt bc you couldn’t start from your own original content.

Rather than have the innovative spirit to start a thread about your country’s contributions; Instead of just acknowledging the moment, Then you get mad and do a search from your country copying a Black American dance style- with said video being 21 years later than OP. What exactly did you think pointing this out you would provide besides irony and content jacking and sample snitching bc you couldn’t come up with your own??

So you think that these Nigerian villagers copied the shyt from the Old Mills Brothers routine?

Let's back up do you acknowledge an genetic similarity between Nigerias and ADOS?

That's like saying that ADOS "stole"Afro Picks from the Anicent Egyptians because they found Afro Picks in Pyramids too.

Maybe just Maybe All Black people are intriged by the sound of the Drum and tend to go dumb (on the dancefloor)

When nikkas say ADOS are aborignal americans they could be the first people to come to the americas but they'came from somewhere.

Didn’t read. Do y’all plan to post videos circa 1900-1940 Nigeria, further contributing to the thread or no?

I just want to know why a random brakedancing video went immediately into diaspora wars.

One thing that nikkas share besides nappy hair and big lips is always always always beefing with each other.

Didn’t read. But I skimmed. Those are questions from which you should direct to your African comrade @Buddy who is the first commenter who instigated. I’m posting videos. Not here to argue. Do you have Video proof of your claim or no??

Black American innovation.

I can’t stand the way people try to inject “ADOS” and “FBA” into every thing they see.
That’s some hashtag shyt that ain’t even old enough for kindergarten, the fukk are people doing trying to cram in into clips from the 30s?

They can’t stand acknowledging African origins tho, so it’s a fair trade

Why would that be considered interjection? Even the very video you posted specifies the county and ethnic group of the ppl doing their dance. Why is it different when black Americans do it? I honestly wanna know. No disrespect.

"ADOS" and "FBA" are clout chasing ass terms by the creators deluding people into the notion that we were never 'distinct' or had an ethnic identity prior to them.

The Black National anthem precedes "ADOS" and "FBA" it has nothing to do with Africa.
Juneteenth is next week, it precedes "ADOS" and "FBA" and has nothing to do with Africa.
HBCUs precede "ADOS" and "FBA" and have nothing to do with Africa.
etc.

They have nothing to do with Africa, but get co-opted by non black Americans. Erasure is real, and “credit spreading” is especially real when it comes to black American culture. ADOS and FBA puts hypervisibility on delineation so that the creators of the culture can be properly cited. Anything positive about Black American culture gets parced into credit for everyone else. Even with Juneteenth becoming a national holiday, I’m seeing celebrations that have nothing to do with Black American culture.

Also you:

I give African chicks especially those not from West Africa a pass on hair hats. Not to shyt on them but men do t know how involved it is taking care of Black hair. Go past a number two guard on your hair and you have to really take care of it especially if you want long hair. Shea butter is made in West Africa you can get that shyt by the bucket full in Ghana. But that shyt in Kenya costs like 20 dollar s a pound, you need deep conditioners apple cider vinegar and shyt like that. It's cheaper to get some braids or a weave. At least in East Africa you'll see chicks rocking a short 'fro here and there. But the average chick doesn't have the money to properly manage natural hairstyles.

If ADOS women wore natural hair more often it would inspire African women to do the same.

Hmmm. Funny how you admit that as an African, “ADOS” women have more influence over your culture than your own.


But why would the “homeland” need inspiration from Black Americans for what you claim to be the originators of? Are you saying that African women on the continent are not inspired by each other in Africa. But actually look to AAs to lead the way. I could also address the issue about African women not having “proper money” for maintenance -your words. Wellllp.

none of those things are ethnic designators though

Do you sense this 'erasure' when you eat german hot dogs and hamburgers, italian pizza, etc?

Creating our own national anthem, independence day, and higher learning institutions aren't ethnic designators???
This is what I'm talking about...

K.

Post a video of Nigerians in 1920s-1930s or earlier doing the same, then you can actually substantiate your comment. Your video is 1959.

bytch just wants you to casually pull a video of 1920s Nigeria like it's whatever just to prove her bullshyt ass diaspora war.

That's the problem with these dumbass debates over who has the most originality or creativity. Mass media was created in the United States. For much of the world cameras and video production to any extent didnt exist until the damn 1950s/1960s. Of course African Americans have the most documented history of their art and culture than their Caribbean or African counterparts. It doesn't mean the Caribbean nor Africa was devoid of any artistic expression or conception just because there were no American cameras at the time to see it.

Yall stay stuck on stupid looking for every and any reason to claim your superiority over others, even when it flies in the face of context and facts. As the dude is pointing out it is EXTREMELY unlikely that a bunch of Nigerian kids in the 1950s had access to ANYTHING that would possibly expose them to anything they can "jack" or "steal" or whatever makes yall feel good about yourselves.

Owning a radio was a luxury for most Nigerians I'm the 1950s. You really looking at a video of 1950s Nigeria thinking these folks is "jacking AAs" that they "studied from." Studied from what? television? Youtube? No you dumbass. They're doing some shyt they've probably been doing long before a singe African was ever brought to America.

And you are out your damn mind if you even asserting breakdancing and hip hop dancing in general has no African origins. Purely "American" Cmon man. I think it's extremely telling a bunch of supposedly problack people who celebrate the misfortune and disparagement of African people and culture and would rather believe fukking America is this magical place that "civilized" and produced magical black people with greater intelligence and spirit than their native ancestors.

This FBA ADOS shyt just reeks of c00nery, bourgeoisie, and insecurity. Mods need to get more serious about banning this shyt already.

Didn’t read. None of you have posted a 1920s video yet. It shouldn’t be that hard for you to research and post evidentiary info, considering your claims. But I managed to though. Not one AA mentioned Africa in this thread until @Buddy decide to try to throw shade. Next …..


It’s 1956 though and y’all are dancing for the Queen of England, idk.

Trying to help you out over here in the interest of being fair and impartial
