They realised (more than 60 years ago) how ridiculous that was coz they were all white so the only way was using nationality not this opposite of "he is Swedish not white" we see on here.

Its like coli brehs don't know what black is.

I have no issues with immigrant black people claiming their blackness, because strength do come in numbers.
As long as they not on some "we're better than you" shyt and try to tell how Black Americans how we suppose to live and how we suppose to feel from a cac point of view, then it's all love.

One Twitter thread and a bunch of scattered users, who we have no idea what their thought processes or motivations are and suddenly the majority of the diaspora never identified as black?

This thread is trash.

There's literally number one songs, albums, books and movies celebrating blackness before most of this forum was even born.

Twitter is primarily a circle-jerking cesspool of devolved rhetoric mostly appealing to the lowest common denominator.

That isn't the reason. What I posted is the reason and there were other factors.

But define Blackness. I am curious what you think it means.

*"I can't believe people think I'm Black when really I'm Nigerian."

*I'm Dominican, not Black."

*I can't relate cause I'm African not Black!"


To calling themselves Black and dikk riding Black issues

Honestly don't know since most of you believe any black person who is not born in the ol' US of A is not black...hell even ADOS from other parts of the continent called America are not considered black despite similar experiences.

As an African who has travelled the world and experienced different cultures and practices, acknowledging black people are not monolithic is in itself blackness.

You lucky you wasn’t on there. You know this is a thing. But you can pretend otherwise.

:what:

That is why it is important for us to delineate ourselves. Blackness is not "we ain't monolithic".

Black is those of us that had to create a name ourselves while building a country we were brought to (not immigrated to), and through those abuses and experiences we fashioned a name and culture through our own creativity and immovable spirit.

That is the short version of what Black means.

i'm not pretending anything. half those idiots don't understand that nationality isn't race and they make it clear, many people here are the same. one guy says i'm not just Black i'm also Nigerian. that is NOT offensive., he was grouped in there for claiming his heritage... the mixed people sound confused as is most usual and to be expected. I don't know if these people are based out of America or not or if they gained knowledge of themselves post those tweets. What I do know is they are not spokes peoples for "us"

notice how casually you dismissed the fact that I said we have posters here from everywhere who have been claiming Black for more than 10 years. Why are those twitter stranges a more accurate representation. simple answer that's YOUR choice. you have a motive to fall into thinking we are all adversarial, impersonators, haters, trying to take something from you. In reality and i've stated it a countless times here none of us chose a race categorization or invented the concept but we live with it's reality. how you feel about it is really irrelevant on a practical level.
