The dude tagged me because of where I'm at and went specifically. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Well its no need to reply if you have no idea what I'm talking about. Other people know what I'm getting at that had a similar situation to you like me and others on here. That's who what I said was intended for but thanks for your reply

what does africans have to do with slave descendants in america? i'm talking about specific genetics earned from centuries of slave labor. this discussion is about blacks in america, not africans. your fantasy of africans all coming over in hoards and wiping out white population through procreation is never going to happen.

specific genetics culled from interbreeding with whites, right?

you can't have it both ways. you can't be down for the cause and on this pro-black tip yet just dismiss the fact that the black population, due to africa, is exploding at the moment.

the overwhelming majority of slaves descendants did not procreate with whites and what does africa being lifted up by foreigners have to do with us? are they going to share the wealth?

Marcuz still think it's the 1800s

 

[Lost His Smile]

Its all apart of the plan.

No, actually I'm quite certain everyone knows what I'm talking about and why he tagged me, but no one knows why you felt the need to quote me to try to make a point and why you're suddenly getting snarky after you realized that you had no knowledge of why he did so

closer to the 1900s, since we've got about the same amount of wealth; but LESS businesses.

That's one aspect of the modern world, buddy. There's this thing called "globalism" and it renders most of your talking points irrelevant.

explain what globalism has to do with the lack of wealth, business and land ownership within the black community

Nice strawman.

You're the one professing that Africans outside of America have no utility to Black Americans and that we are some isolated group. Your lack of logic never fails to astound.

Snarky lol. Nah I'm not but that's chick talk man we don't say that. I wasn't trying to make a point necessarily at all. I just disagree with the people on here that's saying going to a PWI this is the norm. Apparently that's too hard to understand for you so I choose not to go back and forth with you about it but since you seem to want to know what I was speaking about there you go. I also didn't care about somebody quoting you that's why I responded only to what you said.

lets re-read the convo:

now who's actually strawmanning who? you say i'm living in the 1800's, i say closer to 1900s, since we share about the same amount of wealth yet less businesses. you bring up globalism for whatever reason, but can't answer my basic question. now you want to bring up africa, even though i'm talking about black americans.

and regarding your last comment, kermits going on about africas expansion, which has a lot to do w/foreign intervention. i'm asking, are they breaking bread with us? was there a conference i missed? they building us a spot like israel to begin building in africa together or what?

Breh, there are a ton of Black Americans who come from the bloodlines of multiple Black diasporas This whole "we and us" thing isn't as concrete as you're trying to make it out to be and is as damn silly as your phenotype test for Blackness.

Globalism as in a developed Africa, a developed Africa meaning more African American immigrants, more African American immigrants means more Black wealth in this country and also more mixing of the two diasporas. Are you really that damn dense? And it isn't just Africa, but Black people in Brazil, DR, Europe, etc who all do well in their locale but also immigrate here in numbers DO MATTER to us. Stop with the fukking foolishness.

strawmanning me with arguments i've never made or said. it's certain more african immigrants will come into the country. many will integrate within their own communities, many with integrate with white communities; hell, many will also procreate w/african americans. but your fantasy (and kermits) of hoards of africans coming over by the millions to replenish the race and inject an influx of wealth into OUR communities isn't going to happen.

so while you hope and wait on africa to fix our shyt for us, i'll focus soley on blacks in american getting our shyt together w/o their intervention.
