From The New Yorker: "My Great-Grandfather, the Nigerian Slave-Trader"

[The Fade]

Cool - thanks

But, Imma go ahead and claim Black American -- and be happy with that. Is that ok?

Or should claim African and be called a white person or be told my ass ain't African when I show up at y'all African Cookout?

They be saying We not African tho in other threads and spouting “you don’t know who you are” borderline Akata drivel

Sis you ain’t gotta explain shyt

Clearly some people here have an agenda. The ibos who are more fully informed than me have explained it.

That's it keep it moving!

We have an agenda of understanding. But, I see frustation, disrespectfulness (being called a bytch and all...) and minimization.

And what would be an agenda? What can we do?

BTW: I have only been called on The Coli a bytch by non-AADOS Black men -- but the funny thing is AADOS are the ones always stereotyped as abusive and thugs and ish. Just saying...

If I was African (apart of a tribe and culture) would that happen my brother?

The posters “explaining” refuse to say explicitly that it was a demonic system

So by not explicitly denouncing it you are implicitly defending it

Mfers are literally doing the juelz.gif

wait what did you quote me for?

that poster isn't even Nigerian, he's posted about being Spanish speaking several times.
Like I said to the other poster, ya'll really just want a reason to attack Africans.

when have i ever said i was spanish?

Don't make me call Amadioha

Thank you. It's draining.

I don't have the time to read through this long ass thread but from some of the posts I've seen people are conflating having a house maid to slavery?

fukk is going on in this thread?

Why don't you actually mention the posters who do this instead of this lazy ass generalizing you're doing right now? It's the same usual suspects who do that.

I dunno, maybe I am reading this the wrong way but it's kind of like light skinned negroes explaining why their family gets mad at someone marrying someone dark skinned and trying to rationalize it. I get it and your culture is older than ours but I'm not with the whole "it wasn't bad since they served the Oracles etc."

First and foremost it's an igbo issue, which has been largely been dealt with by ibos. Its nothing that needs to be explained or rationalised if you're not apart of the culture you wouldn't understand, because ultimately it lacks context.

I was talking about @penfield and his comment about fukking servants. He's posted that he's cuban before.

Whether it needs to be denounced or not it is an igbo issue, and it has been largely dealt with it properly. Without any outside in

If you were. African I would still cool you a bytch. Watch more nollwood films.

It has been explained really well, so anything more than that I assume is coming from a bad place.

That's cool with me I don't respect "men" who call women bytches just cause they don't like their opinion anyway. So, we are all good.

But, I do recommend for you to get your vocabulary game up and work on your debating skills - so you can express yourself better.

Oh...Nollywood is trash. No thanks.

Ok...I never said we were telling you how to fix it. Let's be honest, Africans on here pop off on our AA issues and problems all the time and I don't object to the criticism as long as it is constructive and not demeaning and arrogant...I wasn't trying to be that way but really trying to argue Blacks globally need to fix our stuff, not rationalize it.

igght we good, i just had be 10 toes right now

Majority are not. Only people who can make strong claims about that are brazilians and some Caribbean folk most of AAs came from either congo, Senegal, or ivory coast and if you are Nigerian you are most likely yoruba

Yh I guys are of african descent but you're not igbo, you're your own people. I respect as a fellow African, the same way I respect a somalian, a Jamaican etc.
