Do We all agree AAs are the most influential african Dispora

[Poitier]

Jamaicans.

 

[Yup]

This makes no sense

For Carribeans/french Africans to be a leading superpower like the US, they would have to be different culturally

How so?

 

[Le Sapeur]

What is "the big American machine" and how was it built?

How u gon ask wut it is then recognize that its there?

Oh yeh I forgot AAs created everything in America

 

[Poitier]

Oh yeh I forgot AAs created everything in America

A significant chunk hence saying we benefit from "the big American machine" as if we didn't contribute to it is hilarious

 

[African Peasant]

Yes, they clearly are.

But it's not because they are better than the others.

 

[Elle Driver]

@Poitier Get em

 

[intruder]

By far.

Of course they are. There hasnt been much doubt of that since the mid 1900's. You gotta be a fool not to recognize that.

No

They have direct access to the biggest media markets in the world so i wouldnt expect any less

 

[African Peasant]

No

They have the infrastructure to project their culture all over the globe.

Plus, they have the support of the American establishment: AA's culture has been used as a tool of the american cultural imperialism. The fascination of black people all around the world (but not only them) for America has much to do with AA's culture.

Thats what the world's largest media markets come with

 

[Blackout]

Access to media markets is why?

Dude most media shows us in a bad light so you miss me with that one.

Noone ever said it wasnt a double-edged sword. When you're constantly in the lime light you have to take the good with the bad. THe same celebrities that b!tch about paparazzi (sp) are the ones that also benefit from the media.

You ever wonder why mofos a rapper/artists from NY who's skill level is equal to another from Alabama will get far more airplay?

Dude if it wasnt for AAs this media wouldnt even be strong enough to reach as much people as it has.

 

[BrothaZay]

White Americans are the most influential people alltime

Believe what you want, breh. Being bold and self confident is built into the culture. But in my opinion if AA's didnt exist mass media would have found someone else to love/hate.
