I was going to make this in a long thread, but decided against it. Mainly because no one is gonna read all that sh-t and I'm not trying to become the new @DrX
Anyway, I just got in the door from work (8 hours).
Here goes, how do we become more unified as a AA people. This is not about the Black diaspora in general. Because I've seen Nigerians cling together just like Mexicans and Filipinos. While we have made progress we still have a lot of in fighting. Basically, over petty sh-t. I'm impressed more of our people have begun praising the "Black Power" movement again in large mass.
I will probably make a follow up called, "Where Do Mulattoes & Afro Hispanics (Ricans and etc stand in our eyes). Because some AA's have some beef with Puerto Ricans.
If you want to know what I mean in general just ask me.
@Matt504 brought up the point of "Black People Celebrating Failure". I think he meant AA's. It's unfair to make the whole diaspora as they're celbrating failure, but I see his point. Some of us don't have our head on straight.
@#SOG_soldier brung up something that worried me.
See, this is dumb sh-t. AA's aren't a monolith, but we do share a connection that is our African origins and that/our heritage brings us together. We have Black Jews, Black LGBT's, Black Muslims, Black Atheists, and etc.
P.S. what do you guys think? I fit in with my community so no quarrels here
Basically, the point is, how can we become a unified front and put all the pettiness aside?
