Non-ADOS did y’all grow up not listening to.....

Well it’s eye opening because some of the posters In this thread, who I thought were AA or who’s families had been here since slavery aren’t that. It honestly makes me feel a lot better about the state of black America. The huge amount of conservative opinions, the bizarre respectability politics, the hate a lot of posters show for AA women and hood AA culture, both sides and just the laissez-faire and almost seemingly want for white supremacist rule.It made me realize a lot of the opinions I see not just here but online by black faces aren’t African Americans.

nikka, plenty of ADOS have respectability politics, what do you think Bill Cosby & The Nation of Islam are?

Clarence Thomas?

Larry Elder?

Malcolm X or Farrakhan have said like 90% of the shyt these nikkaz be talkin' bout that y'all be calling "conservative" these days about "respectability"

Bougie Black liberals-types & shea butters just hate hearing a lot of it.

No actual African I have ever met and interacted with identifies with that team. They identify the country they come from as the prefix before america ie......Nigerian......Ghanaian.......Ethiopian......Cameroonian......etc

African American is just a little outdated. Black American is a better designation.

It is what it is. Those are our current designations and they'll stand until something else comes along. Either way it's necessary because we most certainly are our own ethnic group within the wider US and within the diaspora.
