How long has everyone been “black”?

[Uchiha God]

Long winded twitter thread that most sane people won’t read, let alone take seriously.

Substantial majority of black people have been identifying as “black” for decades. Yes, even foreigners. You can take a simple google search and you’ll see similar protests and movements to that of the civil rights movement here, almost everywhere in the globe. However, there have always been outliers. People that didn’t identifying as “black” and identified with their nationality. The “mi no black papi” meme and jokes didn’t come out of thing air, but to extrapolate that into most people started identifying as “black” ten years ago is just not true. Even anecdotally.

I’ve never seen so many people in denial over such an obvious topic. They’re not even my words. Or the posters words. Literally dozens of people telling you they aren’t black, and you act like Somebody putting words in their mouths.

The jig is up , is all.

I’m waiting for my kit in the post.

 

[Premeditated]

it's the opposite for me

most my life, from first grade until age 29, I identified myself as black first

it's only the last couple of years that I've started identifying myself by my ethnic group/tribe first

I do get what the twitter thread and op is talking about though. I've been noticed it myself for a while.

I learned I wasn't black after joining the coli.


I threw out all my Afro pics, and wash rags. Started putting raisins in the potato salad and bought a dog to kiss in the mouth.

My application was rejected back in 2012, 2014, 2015

I thought I’d for sure get it in 2020. But covid and riots delayed my application again .

Are we the only people who talk about race, ALL the time, or am I just not paying attention to everyone else?

Africans and Caribbeans never referred to themselves as "black people" until the mid-2010?



Who the fukk raised you niccas? Were yall actually raised around black people in a black community or did only turn pro-black when Trump and "ADOS" trolling against Africans arrived?

You have to be socially inept as shyt and never been anywhere near a "black" scene, event, political movement, community or anything all your life to even ponder this nonsense. At no point in my life have I EVER witnessed a Caribbean or African breh offended if you call him black. Quite the contrary. As someone posted earlier some of the most unapologetic music artists and records I ever listened to asserting messages for "black people" when I was a kid came from Caribbean artists and music. You have got to be kidding me. Imagine a rasta man afraid to call himself "black."



If anything it's you self-aggrandizing hashtag c00ns who so badly want to be "distinguished" from being "black" or "African" like others, and identified as "descendant of slaves" "foundational American" and other fake ass bourgeois bullshyt ain't no one got time for. Yall the only one I see who are so angry and insecure about having an identity that unites us. I don't see no one else making some big push to be identified as anything other than black people among all black people besides you "I'm proud to be an American" ass nikkas.

This is like the third thread today trying to incite hatred towards "black foreigners." I see we gonna do this nonsense all over again.

 

[SupaDupaFresh]

ADOS culture so strong...

we at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder...

but everybody still wanna be us

The insecurity is amazing.

Find a hobby and a win a trophy bro. This ain't it.

Race doesn't exist. So saying you are Black when you come from an African nation makes zero sense and shows confusion. Africans have their own ethnic groups that describe themselves.

Black is another ethnic group that describes those of us who are ADOS.

Black = ADOS

Black =/= African

People confuse the terms often. But it's time to get it right.

All that you said and still there’s a thread in the OP with 100+ examples of people saying they aren’t black they are ____, with accounts that are still active today.

It’s literally right there and you said you’ve never seen it

African and Black are not the same thank you very much.

Identifying as a foundational black American or even as an American is no different than someone identifying as a Nigerian or a Cuban (which you all have no problem with)

Once we say we’re identifying with ourselves y’all wanna cry.

And most nikkas who actually grew up around “black” immigrants already knew what’s posted in the OP is facts.

We been tried to unite and as you can see in the OP we’ve been the only ones who have been standing on blackness.

You got a thread of people (who’s accounts are still active) Going around telling people not to call them black, and then years later identifying as black and you want to be blind and pretend we’re making it up.

You immigrants are crazy as hell

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Are African American extremists trying to make all of Africa and the Africa diaspora (aside from AfAms) annoyed?

1. You people already don’t like black Americans so who cares if we finally give you a reason to?
Y’all been doing it for no reason, you might as well have one.

And 2. stop pretending y’all a threat. Imagine giving a fukk if some random in Haiti or some poor African countries (who’ve never done anything for black Americans) are “annoyed”

Y’all are used to being xenophobic and is not knowing about it. Using blackness as an accessory and not an identity.

We just know now.
