Haitians can tell I'm not Haitian.
Jamaicans can tell I'm not Jamaican.
AAs know I'm AA and I can point out Scotians out here...
I'd even make a bet to say different regions of AAs have different looks...it used to be a lot more distinct.
I was in BK and my now ex approached me with ‘evenin ma u not from round here’
But he said he thought I was from down south, said I had some country swag, the way I dress, walking all slow etc

No but you can tell sometimes when someone’s African

How?
Africa is a massive place with numerous people that look different from region to region..anyone thinking all Africans are tall skinny and pitch Black with high cheekbones is sadly mistaken.
Only way you can sometimes tell is by clothing and hairstyles and hair texture etc. I also notice that West African's have stronger more chiselled features than Southern Africans.

Are you saying that because you don't want us to have a connection to Africa? If thats the case sounds like some :mjpls: alt right divisive scheming.

Or are you saying that on some white people don't belong here type of militancy? because thats true regardless.

Either way i don't really see how it benefits black people to preach this rhetoric. Just means we took two historical L's instead of 1 and that we have no pan-African allegiance in the greater struggle.

This has nothing to do with trying to distance myself from Africa. Anybody who knows my posting history on here knows I'm as good a source as there is on African history. I'm just about reporting the TRUTH. And the truth is most Black Americans are not descended from African slaves as we've been taught. Most black people in the Americas are instead descended from the original inhabitants of this continent. That's just the cold hard truth.

Don't get it twisted. I support Pan-Africanism and linking up with black folks all around the globe. But we can do that without believing in the lie that we are all descended from African slaves. The idea that the presence of black people all around the world is the result of slavery is the biggest lie ever told by white supremacy. The truth is that the global presence of black people around the world is because we are the original man. We explored and colonized every continent on earth before anyone else. And that fact is proven by the fact that there is an indigenous black population on every continent in the world that is inhabited by man.

If this is true, why should i give a fukk about Africa? I don't see Italians showing unity with Jewish people just because they have similar hair and complexions.
like i said, this will only serve to divide us in the long run. Don't really see the point in preaching it.

100% yes. Its easy as fukk to tell if someone is American. Same for Russians, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Germans, Koreans etc. Thai's and Vietnamese can confuse me though.

Cause its still our original homeland even if we're farther removed than the cacs say. And at the end of the day, what makes us black is because our phenotype and genes are a threat to white people and that is why they fear us. Its this attack from white supremacy that links us all black people globally not the fact we're from the same continent.

How does finding out your ancestors left Africa a few thousand years before you thought change your views on how you view Africans? You're reaching here about not giving a fukk about Africa simply cause you found out our ancestors left the continent a few thousand years before you originally thought.

Haitians can tell I'm not Haitian.
Jamaicans can tell I'm not Jamaican.
AAs know I'm AA and I can point out Scotians out here...
I'd even make a bet to say different regions of AAs have different looks...it used to be a lot more distinct.
This is true. AA from the west coast have a distinctive look. I’m from Philly and I can tell we have a certain look as well.

It's not necessarily your looks. It's how you carry yourself. Mostly mannerism. The way you walk and various other things.

Try that challenge i just posted. Some people keep saying they can look at someone or even a photo and tell. I dare you all to be accurate.

Yeah I'd say so. You can tell most of the time, but other times you can't.

I didn't realize it until I went to Europe, and people could tell that I was a US black right away...there is a "look" plus our clothes etc.

I told my girl who's family is half Bajan, and half British Islander that West Indians/Carribeans tend to have a "look" too. It's usually in the features.

in nyc, i can 8/10 tell if someone is AA or not. You just become accustomed to noticing small things.
