He's speaking of the EAST AFRICAN population (Ethipoians and Etitreans primarily).

I could never understand why we call ourselves that either. African Americans are far from anything “regular”. Our culture and history are too godly for us to be downplaying ourselves on some BS label.
Come down to DC. Ethiopians, Eritreans, Ugandans, all around. Whole continent represented. But the jollof rice festival is todaySo basically only western part of africa


But according to some people here Africans don't live in the same neighborhoods with Black Americans.
As soon as an African immigrant steps off the plane he is somehow able to afford a house in a rich White neighborhood.

That would be the case if ANY American pulled up in a foreign black country. That would happen to any American in most countries they go to period. I guess you can call it a virtue of being American.AAs are “regular black” yet when we pull up on any of these peoples countries the locals/Native woman trip all over themselves trying to talk to us
Being at the top is never easy
I was in Accra with my Ghanaian-American homie, locals treated him like a weirdo out of touch with his own culture, it was different story when I pulled up thoughThat would be the case if ANY American pulled up in a foreign black country. That would happen to any American in most countries they go to period. I guess you can call it a virtue of being American.
So when you say "being at the top is never easy" are you talking about being American, or are you talking about being Black (African) American, and what exactly would you be on top of?


I don't see how y'all do it. fukk does that even mean? I would catch a charge behind some shyt like that.

when people say D.C., they don't necessarily mean just washington d.c., they mean southern maryland, and some include northern virginia.i’m not arguing percentages - it’s 2 more million blacks living in nyc then DC
Boston's black community is stratified along very distinct economic lines. You're either poor or from an upper middle class family with money. There is no middle class for Boston blacks.Boston is very underrated when it comes to diaspora representation
What a mess![]()

Where the fukk did this happen? I'm in crown heights. Started a black studies club in my school and went to mostly black schools all my life. I sound like a Brooklyn cat( I'm AA on my pops side NC and WI 4th gen on my momma side Barbados.) Ppl assume I'm AA and never give me no slick shyt, my best friends are West African and West indian. Where are ya'll having these problems? Not being a dikk. Actually curious.I started to notice alot more when i'm talking with someone who is WI or African or Afro Latino and they ask specifically where my family is from and I say "I'm straight American"...the responses is always (from men and women) "Oh you're a Yankee" or "oh...you're just regular black huh" while they laugh or roll their eyes.
