How many black people in America know shyt about African culture :heh:

Alot actually--that's why African studies was invented/put on the map by ADOS.

The thing is, overtly AFROCENTRIC/Nationalist has never been the masses. Your avg "afram" who isn't overtly Afrocentric probably does dig "Asian" pop culture






more than, than late's say

but overtly Afrocentric types would be the reverse

Has nothing to do with him being Lupe..., but supposedly being raised on Japanese culture yet not raised in Japan. Makes no sense unless one of his parents is Japanese?? If not..so now what do you mean by being raised in Japanese culture? I like certain aspects of other cultures too but they are not what I am.. You can enjoy other cultures without acting like they are of such importance for you to claim some type of identity with them. Him saying he identifies more with Japanese culture is just him saying he knows more and cares more about japan than he does about African cultures. That’s it. Nothing else to say. That’s why what he said is not worthy to defend.
the tweet that is posted in OP, that caused this commotion. Isn't about his identify. Its about cultural ideals, with him answering someone about where would he move to once he leaves America.

Plus I believe @CHICAGO said, that he visited Japan when he was young.

Ah, I see where this dance goes.

Do carry on.

No dance. It's just fact.

as either @HarlemHottie or @Elle Driver already pointed out, that modern ADOS term was in part created because of "others" appropriating the "African-Amercan" term; which the article--that was written years earlier before ADOS was invented--points out that Aframs started calling themselves "U.S. African Americans" because of it

"All my Asian friends love me and I love them back. I get more direct hate, resistance and literal institutional excommunication from American black people than any other race by far."

I see through his facade and have done from the beginning; I don't identify with smart dumb c00ns. Regardless of that, what do my motives have to do with anything? Why can't you address that bullshyt tweet, as you've done with the rest of his, all throughout this thread?

I mean, are you really doing to defend this: "I get more direct hate, resistance and literal institutional excommunication from American black people than any other race by far."
