someone should have told the west indians that denied him housing that

he got taken care of by his real community

Well his relatives in Grenada care about him

Yeah? He was raised in Black American Culture. Is Grenadian side meant nothing to his upbringing or culture.

so a White person raised in Black American Culture is Black as well?

they care about the man the myth the legend, they care about the man that became something with a legacy.

his “family” ain’t do shyt for him while he was alive

on the flip side the autobiography mentions a bunch of things and help he got from our community. his real community

does this make sense? he was half AA/half grenadian

what are you even asking?

his father wasn’t a white man

 

[RaspberryFitted]

Black Americans not going over there to those roles. I'll never understand this. Some of these people come here talking about race isn't real or just flat out talk shyt about Black Americans. It's ok to admit that the people that come over here are spineless cowards that refuse to do shyt at home so they come over here because Black Americans are too friendly.

Did Damson ever open his mouth to say this? Where is this specific energy coming from regarding him playing Miles Davis?

Taking part in throwing gas on the american gender war conversation is enough for me. He should talk about what’s going on in his country, not involve himself in our business

i will slander this movie on both of my movie sites and i will make sure the tomato score is low

Him being raised in Black American Culture doesn’t strip away his Grenadian heritage

The man you are defending would spit in your face for the rhetoric you spew on this forum.

It doesn't have to be him. Don't make it about individuals with me when the comments in this thread ain't doing that and you know it's bigger than him. Y'all like them white people when it comes to police or their individual selves.

I read it years ago.
What do you expect his relatives in Grenada to have done during his life when they were more likely poorer than black Americans

I’ve never even heard Malcolm X say ANYTHING about the country and he also didn’t visit the country one time so obviously it wasn’t important to him. He did however tour the entire US and advocated with us and for us.

Grenada isn’t important to his story at all

Anything besides wait till he dies to start a foundation and make money off his legacy.

 

[Braman]

what? his dad was AA/BA you stupid dumbass

Still doesn't change that he was half Grenadian

This.

You trying to pick and chose. Also what logic are you even on if you calling foreigners “dirty tethers” like that’s not his mom, half his family, his cousins, etc.

He would not be on your side he’d spit in your face like the bytch you are

Bro I saw that thread and we may differ but I agree with him. Why didn't he get specific and talk about the "UK beasts" thing? See when there is an issue it's BLACK PEOPLE but when it's good it's the first starving African from whatever shythole to do it. I'll never understand why people think we should be ok with them playing these games then acting stupid when we bring it up.


For everybody else, yes I did say shythole. Now bring your fake ass outrage.

Somehow, someway he never shed light on ANY way his Grenadian “heritage” whatever that means, was important to him.

He never spoke on their courage, he never spoke on their culture, he never spoke on their food, he never even visited the damn place

but yall want me to pretend it’s greater than or even equal to his experience with his black american side

He would have specified if it was positive. That’s the con that they do.

Anything that they accomplish will be attributed to their country of origin, anything negative gets blanket blackness.

It’s just how they have it set up.
