you really just don't have to buy into tbh. It's honestly that simple.

I'm glad that he went to Africa and got to trace himself back to his true roots. I've had the pleasure of visiting Ghana twice. Dope country and nice people and the food was delicious.

But he is right about the increasing division between African Americans and Native Africans, I just find it disturbing.

What he wrote was directed towards racist cacs & he's 100% right

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

Just a way to diss AAs

Yeah okay breh called bullshyt on the deliberate intentions that created a lot of the pathology we see today. You see brehs all the time that are supposedly for us start their statement like "N*ggas ______ ______ ____" with NO context and NO resolve to evolve or reform our identity.

I think it exists online mostly and is selective listening. That's why it's important for things like this to be shared online the real world is something different.

In my opinion it happens because of two things

• people's general willingness to believe stereotypes about other Black people, while rejecting stereotypes about their group
• lack of interaction as peers with groups outside of their own (applies to social class, region, religion, or nationality)

That's why in the diaspora discussions, the flimsy narratives & false comments that they repeat here get torn apart so easily.

I'm glad Michael Jai White called out a lot of the self hate some black people have. The healing process begins with reconnecting with africa in its truest sense. #PanAfricanism

Do it. You'll feel like you've been walking with a backpack and lead weights for most of your life. That feeling of knowing that you're around other black people constantly, and seeing people who look like you on tv and in advertisements everywhere just hits different. You just feel like you can breathe and do you. People are more likely to hit you with the when they find out you're from the US because a lot of africans love black music, movies and TV shows and you can see the influence in their own media.
