We listened to the whizzing whistling of spears and darts barely missing our heads during our daily pursuit to fill our starving bellies with lion meat.

No offense but what’s exactly eye-opening about thisThis tread is very eye opening. It makes sense why there is so much anti-African American sentiment or just passive aggressive dismal of issues African Americans understand to be important especially when it come to white supremacy and politics in America. It honestly makes me feel a little better, because I sometimes rack my brain trying to understand how black posters on here can be so naïve to outright hostile to very important issues. I’m not even being divisive it just makes sense . I feel a lot better actually

African original
We had our own old school music even though now and then foreign music would be on rotation
We also have our own history/trauma that was being passed down to us even though other black people experiences were shared to us to provide insight and make us look at life in different perspectives
In the long run, helped us grow up with no tunnel vision thus appreciating every individual and their experiences are unique

RnB started falling off on a mainstream level when I was coming of age in the late 2000s early 2010s and that made me want to know more about hip hop. The local hip hop scene here from the late 90s to the mid 00s was heavily 90s NY influenced, so I started from there. But RnB and Reggae are still the genres I listen to the most since they are timeless, Dancehall and Hip hop follow, then popular African music next since in as much as its a thing of its own, it has some influences from all the above genres that precede it.
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.No offense but what’s exactly eye-opening about this

My dad listened to all that shyt. I think it’s a huge myth black people in the diaspora weren’t listening to these classic artists and records.

It's weird how this word from its intended purpose...... baggage was brought with the quickness and its content spewed everywhere.......opportunity was missed big time......there should have been a massive exchange and discovery of old music that could very well be on the verge of disappearing if it hasn't already done so...........

I am black, my mom was black, and my grandparents were black. If we being technical African American only exists as an American to be used in general by white people to ease their anxiety with what is attached to this history of black folks in America. 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......etcOur grandparents used and liked that term and we all did in this generation until Tariq and agents like him needed a way to separate themselves.y’all let this nikka give y’all a name
