You know why we can’t fund it over here?

We try to tear down those that have the capital to do it


Because of the lust we have to take down our own



Negg me all you fukking want I said what I said

We don’t have a safety net for our own to stick their neck out


As soon as it’s some motion a will get a black or white to say they did something to them


With no proof and they get taken down


And we help we JUST NOW SEEING THE PLAY!!!


so that’s not working as well

Where are you real life examples of this happening in modern time? Other than Cosby buying NBC of course?


And FBA is a lineage correct,just like FBA people can come together to hate on these British actors,How about coming together to put some money in a pot. Dont tell me it cant be done,Umar bought a school and Tariq has built a beautiful museum. You realize yall dont have to sit around waiting on ONE person to do it or lead the charge right? Then maybe one person being "framed" wont cause the whole thing to crumble if thats your biggest fear

Yall nikkas excused every damn thing Franklin did in the Snowfall thread yall loved him so much. Now he aint too 5.?

Wasn’t me…. Nor any non internet cat that halfway watched the show….. Gauging responses on thecoli as authentic response on the “culture” is foolish… Damson didn’t even try to imitate a west coast accent until the second season….

Oh… and OG Stacy was a better character as well

fukk the acting roles. They come over here thinking and acting like they did something when they never fought or obtained a goddamn thing. fukk them people. They stay trying to compare their best to our worst. fukk them cowards. Why can't we ever compare Black Americans to them and the people in the shythole they fled from. Quit asking stupid before I put on a gun on the dresser.

I can't appreciate cowards.

What blood sweat and tears have yall cried?

Our ancestors did the heavy lifting and we have enjoyed the benefits. While also letting everything fall apart,while not building on what they started. And often selling out to the highest bidder as soon as the opportunity presented itself


Some of yall sound like you hate "they"(non black americans),more than you hate "they"(white americans). Who are actively undermining black people and always have. But when it comes to them yall wanna dialogue,build,fukk and marry,work together and live peacefully among them


Good luck with that,but we see the angle. Yall have been sctively trying to stop pan africanism since you saw the momentum swing. Since YOU dont want to leave the european or white supremacy,you want to keep us all here by making other nations hate us through your online rhetoric. This is a strategic MK Ultra Agenda. Just so yall know im well aware. Some of you are genuine,while many are not. Dont get swept up

FWA too. They losing roles to Brits and Aussies.

This is what happens when a country ignores the arts.

What international black outside of Jamaicans has produced something of significance that the world followed? As opposed to Black Americans that is…. Black Brits are so good at acting, but you can’t name a handful of classics that they’ve produced in film, nor music really

I think i gave examples of people we supported with Umar and Tariq. And the people we get accused of "tearing down" ,they funny acting asses act like they dont see the countless ammounts of love they get. They just focus on the hate or the one black person who exposed them or did whatever. Not to mention alot of those people being tore down had no business being uplifted in the first place. I dont see so many upstanding,righteous black folks being torn down unanimously by black people.


I cant back it,because we have all the potential and resources and creativity in the world. Now if you wanna argue we focus on finding flaws and disagreements,Rather than uniting where we can find common ground? That i agree with completely.


But i dont see how you can say that,if you cosign these people who are anti pan africanism and xenophobic. Because if thats your stance,you would have to acknowledge we should be focused on working with black folks who are allies wherever they are from. Rather than tearing them down and calling them "They",putting them all in one basket.

Embrace it most, yh, created it yeah. But not the only group that embraces it, Rastafarianism is a direct offshoot of Pan Africanism.

Nkrumah, was a pan Africanist, Sankara was a Pan Africanist, Toure is a Pan Africanist.

FBAs did not create an africanism.
That was carrabeans

Your dusty hating ass aint about to bait me into a meaningless diaspora fight. I love black Americans and I appreciate everything they have contributed to humanity.

No it was FBA, Martin Delany predates Garvey

You’re both right.

Pan-Africanism was initially developed by Martin Delany in the 19th-century United States. The term Pan-Africanism was coined by Henry Sylvester-Williams, a Trinidadian-born barrister who formed the African Association.

So FBA created the movement and Caribbeans named it.

Something like hip hop

I’m kidding

Different time

You mean at that time there was no online psyop created to stir division amongst black people and convince them to support anti-immigration policies? Anyone constantly talking about ADOS, FBA etc is either an agent or a fukking idiot consuming propaganda.

We've had this thread 100 times. English actors are constantly getting American roles because the UK is pumping young actors out of theater school faster than NY/LA. They're classically trained and are smoking US actors in auditions. And in the case of Idris...he's the guy right now so of course he's going to get roles.

Also hilarious how nobody cares when this is reversed. An American played Napoleon a couple years ago and nobody got mad. Timothee Chalamet, an American, played Henry V (and to add insult to injury he's half French lol). Denzel played Macbeth. Spiderman, arguably the quintessential American superhero, is played by a British guy. Pacino played Scarface, a Cuban. De Niro was a Jew in Once Upon A Time In America. Jews regularly play Italians, and Italians regularly play Jews. Nobody cares. It's called acting, you remedial losers.
