They have to take issue with the people who brought them to the islands and enslaved them there.I still like the idea of Black people in America being one group
We are really starting to split hairs
The islanders got to the islands the same way as we got here, right?
They're few in number and would be entitled to reparations.How do you guys feel about the Liberians who are descendants of former slaves in the US?

Everybody Black im America was NEVER one group, and contrary to popular belief, the majority of the populous knows the difference.
Our ethnic group and nationality are the same thing...We just call it BLACK for short. WE made that a "thing".
Other people put nationality first. Their flags, their cultures, their diction, their versions of our music, their social mores, AND their prejudices.
Phenotype doesn't equal sameness.
We've established a Black culture for ourSELVES that others like to consume, in more than one way. These consumers don't think like you but they can pretend because you'll welcome them with open arms, despite having nothing but phenotype in common, and barely that: African-descended people have THE MOST genetic variations within the population...on earth. Continental AND diaspora. We "feel" the same because of cultural soft power and the legions of international haterfans come from that, not some ancient mystical drum connection.
AAs weren't even allowed to have drums, now everyone moves to OUR beat. That doesn't mean they're us, and they should take it up with Europe, not us or the USA.
Pan Africanism has a low reciprocity rate, and I don't need the short list of pre-civil rights era outliers of foreign extraction. Those Black folks knew what time it was and acted accordingly. It wasn't remittances, reefer, and reggae...it was RIGHTS and we didn't need the help of people from low population areas who were allowed to trickle into the US.
We've helped them, too.
Dont care about you’re talking about, I’m just taking notes for future ADOS threads.Take notes, etch it in stone. "Admitting"
okay.
At the end of they day, it's gonna be a LOT more complicated than a full Black who has one parent from the USA and the other parent from some island 100-500 miles off the Florida coast.
U're gonna have HALF-BREEDS, QUARTER-BREEDS, HALF NATIVE-AMERICAN BLACKS, ALL making claims - people with white American mothers/fathers and that's gonna truly make shyt complicated. So many people are going to be DECEPTIVE with a process like this. At least u have Half-ADOS Blacks acknowledging that to be consistent u have to be forthright with their background.![]()
