Interesting thread on twitter. Showing that most “black” people have been identifying as black for less than a decade.


















People be low key forgetting this era happened.
It shows tweets from before and after people started identifying as black.

I remember that “I’m not black I’m _____” era vividly.

What changed? When caused being black to become so trendy?

You really need to stop letting people on Twitter with ulterior motives shape your view on the world.
Bro it’s right there lmaooo.

Pre 2015: I’m not black I’m Dominican/Nigerian/Belizean Honduran. DONT CALL ME BLACK!

Post 2016: You know as a black man ..

It’s no laughing matter tbh. It’s kinda scary. For all the Times people say they were made fun of for being African. I also remember the days when being black was a sin.

Calling a Caribbean or an African “black” was a slur back in the day .

Good thing twitter keeps receipts

What’s right there a few unhinged people on Twitter, if you think black people in the diaspora only became aware of them being black in 2015 then you’re as unhinged as the tweets you seem to use as evidence plus the exact person who made the Twitter thread lol.

This is one of the best albums of the 90’s made in 1997, why isn’t it called Jamaican woman and child :russ:

You would have had a better argument if you scaled the years back 50-60 years ago, to say 2015 and use Twitter or even your few experiences in your real life as a thesis is the definition of anti intellectual, you need to do better.

That’s marketing. That’s an album that was made to reach a certain audience for dollars. Why not take the words of actual people, and not companies and labels?

Lmao how is the words of random people on Twitter more important or reflective of artists who millions of people in said country actually listen to? Do you think when Sizzla made that album Jamaicans were up in arms saying ‘We’re not black’ why call the album that:mjlol:

Guyanese legend Walter Rodney who wrote "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa" connecting with Black people across the diaspora in Oakland.

At the 1972 event, Walter Rodney proclaimed that “black unity must be international because we live on every continent, through no choice of our own.”
