sub saharans cant deny being black we come from them, we're practically the same tribe, on the contrary them cats be trying to front when they overseas in europe talkin about they from america :heh:


I'm not talking about denying being black, I'm talking about denying being african. In north Africa, they talk about Maghreb (them) and Africa like it was two continents. The same thing is done in europe by europeans and north africans.

They only claim being africans when some black people tell them to leave Africa if they don't like blacks. They start telling you that they are the "real" africans cause the term africa comes from berber...


east africans be on that, because they look different. like I said, race is a misconception, we have more than 4, but if we're going to follow the traditional sense, Im going with africanism and calling berbers black, which in turn is african. you cant say italians arent white, everyone in europe is white, and so that same logic applies to africa. doesnt matter what cacs think, or what c00ned out berbers whos minds are misled by white superiority think. ask Zidane, when that italian told him a racial slur and he had to head butt his ass. :mjpls:

we are our own people, and we're not slaves or colonized anymore, we can define ourselves, and everyone native to africa is of the black stock.

Most of them don't see themselves as black people ; and most black people in Africa will not call a berber a black man/woman.

Racial slurs mean nothing : if you go to France/Europe and tell Zidane and his brothers that they are black, they will all look at you like :wtf:.

When it comes to racial slurs, racists have two words in France : one for north africans (berbers or not) and one for black (subsaharian) africans.

Only people who can say it unquestionably are (Black) Afrikans at home and in the diaspora.

Other peoples who have historically had the word used against them as well, and who share some linkages with peoples of Afrikan descent, such as Hispanics and Native Americans, may sometimes use the word legitimately, but it will always be context-specific to that person's lived experience and worldview.

They claim to be africans (most of the time it's only the hardcore berbers nationalists) but they don't claim to be black.

Most of them consider themselves as an authentic african group but separated from black. For them, they are not black, they are they own people.

In general, people from north africa don't like to be put in the same category with black people. If you go to any north african country, they always make the difference between them (Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, etc) and "african countries". They will even ask you : "are you from AFRICA" ?

This man knows what hes talking about...i done told yall before.

Its wrong but there's some unwritten rule that gives them a pass.

Me being half hispanic, I still feel some type of way hearing hispanics say it.

probably cause in DR the only fukking reason im brown is black and white mixing.

I know an Algerian girl, a Kabyle, who got disowned by her family because she married an black man, an African american.

These people aren't native to Africa; I don't care what anyone tells me. They're aliens.

If you from a place where the government labeled it poverty & you grew up poor, you a nikka. fukk all that descent shyt. We all the same in the white man eyes.

So you're gonna let any broke ass inbred devil call you a "nikka" just because he grew up poor?

If he's coming from the same place as me & I know his background, I will not get offended.

As a brown man myself, I was just wondering how French Montana gets a pass for it. Is it just him, or are blacks generally cool with it?

:manny: Just curious, don't want to spark controversy or anything.


Its a culture thing.. If you grow up in diverse highly metropolitan areas(Like french, and Fat Joe did in the bronx), everyone says the word 'nikka'..

Only people I noticed that had problem with nikka as Southern black folks (cause they have a slaves mentality) and people on the internet (cause they love talking shyt behind keyboards) :manny:

what about Fat Joe? He's not black, right? Can he use it?

I have a 1st cousin that is identical to Fat Joe, to a T. The only difference is we are African American, and Joe is Puerto Rican. Joe would be considered black in certain parts of the States.
