Bro, I get what you saying but that's not white supremacy. I've lived for a short spell in London and Hong Kong and have observed the same thing, yes, even in London surprisingly.

America did not colonize, with the exception of Hawaii, Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico, which all became states, like other countries did. We don't have an extensive footprint on colonization. We do/did have foreign territories like Guam but those were acquired through either treaties or purchased outright.

America establishing itself as a global power was solidified through our participation and assistance in the World Wars. Not from colonizing other nation states. Additionally, Americans have not out migrated in large mass and settled other territories.

There is a difference in saying that we benefit from our American nationalism because of the fact that America is a global power which was establishes by in large by our participation in the World Wars. However, I'm not sure we can say that our status as a global power is because of white supremacy or American colonialism because we did not colonize in the way that western European countries did. There is a line there, and it may be thin, but the line is still there.

Yall make it sound like it’s just because of cacs that we get better treatment, Black Americans have influenced the entire world in one way or another.

I’ve traveled and I’ve seen the admiration African American athletes get, I’ve seen people barely speak English but know slang words, wear 2pac shirts, there’s Black shows like fresh prince and everybody hates Chris that is possibly more loved in countries over seas then they are here.

It ain’t just because of cacs that Black Americans might get better treatment.
That is a fair point. Black folk tend not to show their asses and act like typical Ugly Americans and we are admired for our culture and history. However, our culture gets broadcasted precisely because of American media dominance. I think its a combination of both things really and you do have a great point. Culture +American passport equals smooth sailing at the airports and visa lines.

She lying her ass off. I worked with Norwegians before and been over there. Norwegian are direct as fukk and don’t play around.

One Norwegian breh told me a story 10 years ago and I remember that shyt vividly to this day. “Some Norwegian dude(WHITE) moved from Kristiansund to Kristiansand lived there for years and upstanding member of the community his kids played with the other kids, but nobody in the neighborhood fukked with him. One day the dude walked up to one of the neighbors and asked the fukk going on. The Kristiansand dude told him straight up, “Look you’re a nice person, but you’re not from here and we’ll never respect you.”

My face went :dwillhuh: and asked the Norwegian breh, “Stig are serious?” Stig replied back, “Yes Batsu, the Norwegians are very discerning of whom they trust, and very straightforward.”

Kind of like Dutch. On the surface easy going and full of smiles but rub them the wrong way and smoke comes with the QUICKNESS!
Early 2013 I suggested to a gym pal in Kikuyuland to up his taekwondo game and tryout for MMA at the only place with training in Nairobi, the Colosseum run by an ex Dutch fighter.
I warned him to be ready! The day comes and we roll up and the nikka CHICKENS OUT!
He says he needs 50 USD according to some BS taekwondo association rules he made up on the spot. He argues with Andre for a while then adds he must inspect the facilities.
"FECK YOU, ARE YOU BUYING THE FECKING GYM!?" I've heard of Dutch directness from pals in Rotterdam and DIRECTLY observed a Dutch aquaculture consultant in NAIROBI with similar not as scorching heat.

Bro, she selling game on how to avoid Indonesian Covid-19 protocols, overstay on the visa and avoiding local taxes. She's an international gentrifier benefitting from an American passport. You can be stupid and believe that we as black people don't benefit from America being the world hegemon because we don't want to believe that we are a part of this white supremacist settler state but that ain't true. Without that American passport, as fukked up as it sounds, we'd just be Africans at the airport as opposed to African Americans.
This post perfectly explains everything. Too much babbling in the majority of those tweets.

They are not colonizers but definitely gentrifiers, they are not bringing nothing to the country they are just there to enjoy the view and live better than they would in the US. Whenever you travel you should be aware of the opportunity that you have to visit different cultures and respect the local population. It’s not like they are part of the local economy by providing jobs to local or even paying taxes :mjlol:
And is this a problem? I give no fukks if they aren’t improving the local economy, I’m just glad two beautiful sistahs were able to improve their life with minimal effort.


if this is a real problem, the Indonesian government should step it up to root out “international gentrification” as you call it, but I’m not going to fault anyone for taking advantage of a good opportunity. It’s wealth arbitrage.

:mjlol:

another social media lying bird brain.

The outrage is fair but it's not that woman's fault.

See this tweet at the bottom MAKES A VERY VERY GOOD POINT!!!



But at the same time the average person would not and maybe even could not think to that extent.
Just shows you that the majority of us live in our own little world


maybe we just don’t give a fukk what the locals think. I know I wouldn’t :manny:

This is why I side eye you nikkas who go to poor countries and brag about buying p*ssy. Taking advantage of locals isn’t cool. It just shows you ain’t shyt where you from.
Nothing wrong with this either. What the fukk would those women be doing if the Americans didn’t pay to smash? Selling p*ssy. If anything, the Americans are helping the local women because they’d likely be selling their body at a lower price to residents.

nikka have you traveled?

We most certainly do I witnessed it ..shyt it happened to me and my boys.

We outright were allowed to get in the hotel because we were from America and not Nigerian.
The USD is what’s valued, not you.

The economic system that this world operates under is of a pyramidal structure. There's people at the top and people at the bottom; there will be winners and losers. When you climb up the pyramidal structure there will be people beneath you. It's unrealistic to be in a society where everyone is a winner. Your business is now thriving and you're making 6-figures? Well you had to exploit your employees' labor to reach that point. You had to buy equipment that was manufactured via child labor in a 3rd world country. You, and us all, are active participants in this exploitative economic system.

Currently black Americans are the 'losers' of American society. We've even been surpassed by the Mexicans in a short period of time. With our disunity and being rife with internal conflict we may continue to be at the bottom of the economic ladder for the foreseeable future. I know this is a very unpopular idea here but I do encourage black folks to engage in macro-gentrification -- moving en masse to a growing economy and positioning ourselves as the upper class in that country. (influencing politics, banking, military, business, etc.) Unfortunately many of us lack the cold capitalistic ruthlessness and comradery to pull this off. (feeling an overwhelming sympathy for the 'losers' as a result of us 'winning')
