Hell no. The difference is that it wasn’t reinforced by our parents. I never deny the African booty scratcher shyt. It happened. And I would be a liar to say it didn’t
difference is it wasn’t reinforced by our parents, it was an idea planted by media not at home, and had they known they would have whooped our ass. Especially cause 80s and 90s parents were heavy on the pan Africanism. Wearing dashikis and All that.
your parents are the ones who teach you to look down on us. The media told y’all, and your parents reinforced it.
I remember my dad told me we were all African when he was pan African. The booty scratchers jokes were said, but everyone got roasted by everyone. I got roasted by other AA’s, cacs, hispanics, etc. and of course i hit back but I was never racial. I remember you would get roasted if one part of your Afro was flat or if it had naps.
now everyone has nappy hair and uneven fros
i think when AA’s roast, it’s due to ignorance, just finding anything to say for a reaction. Still not good but it’s not ideological or like you said, parents don’t teach AA kids to hate Africans, if anything AA parents, especially them old pan Africans WORSHIP and mythologized Africans
The thing that bougie AA’s and Nigerian and Jamaican immigrants have in common is the backhanded passive aggressive insults to regular Black Americans but that’s because that the ones that come here are preselected and/or don’t represent their general population. Lottery or not. So they share a bit of elitism. They all talked to me like I was an idiot and stupid.
when I saw those starving African commercials I was insulted because I was taught that was my people. That’s why I never said booty scratcher jokes, i always thought I was the same as all people of African descent, but school was a drag to me and I was aloof and I’m now remember a lot of the backhanded shyt said to me that was on

. It was a whole lot of c00ning by everyone. I guess i repressed a lot of school in general, but I initially remember just laughing everything off. But now Im remembering the layers of what was said to me
