You probably have no idea that the vast majority of Black Americans don’t identity as “FBA”. Not that I have something against it, but it’s completely void in real life.
And you have proven my point, because the only person here who has been hostile, was you.
I’m gong to watch UFC, have a nice day.

He’s not wrong at all
He’s talking about yeah we from Africa but we had a LONG history here as well.. that was just as crazy as living in Africa if not more. nikkas had to fight from being property all because of skin color…
That whole thing of feeling like you had no rights on earth but to be owned… people really walked around acting like they owned other people.
And coming from Mississippi… that place is still hell for black folks

They're not. I am being serious.
A lot of people are just rambling and that comes from both sides. I don’t engage in these conversation with who have no objective point of view.
How? And be brutally honest.

Usually when the thread goes in the direction that it's currently going it eventually gets locked and bushed to put it out of it's misery.
You are the one who started with an assertion after being shown to be driven by hate, I merely disagree with your assertion. Prove your assertion.
I mean there’s not a metric you’re leading us in. Education, Wealth, Influence, General Quality Of Life.
I mean how could you guys be better?
