The End
How you figure i got no respect for my great grandparents because i said an absolute fact about being from a bloodline from africa? You fba muthafukkas be real disrespectful and stupid to black folks that dont think like yall do
You respect your nameless, faceless unknown Africa ancestors more than your documented, photo rich Black Americans ancestors who actually fought for your ass to be here today

Because- let me save you some money- your results will most certainly say sub Saharan African. Now what? Do you know how vast a space that is? Do you have a name? Or do you just wanna go cry at the slave castles?

Your most recent ancestors deserve that reverence, the ones whose names you know, whose graves you can visit. Have some self respect.

I knew you would feel like that, which is why I had to say it. Sometimes it takes some shyt to be disrespectful to make it stick. Sorry bout that. :francis:

Most people do not know their ancestor's names past grandma and great-grandma. With that logic, only they should be revered.

If you don't wanna know your history, that's cool.

My genetic testing confirmed what i knew about my family in the states, that's my moms and them from the Delmarva Pennisula, my father's side from the Deep South but, it also gave me alot of info about Africa and to me it was priceless. I don't know about yall but, I like knowing exactly where I came from. Most of my genetic history is tied to Owo (which is Yoruba) and Imo (which is Igbo). White people are on TikTok right now river-dancing because Irish people were portrayed in Sinners and they have ties to Ireland yet, it's a problem for us to recognize we're tied to West/Central Africa.

:jbhmm: Are you under the impression that FB's deny any African heritage?

You're making the same mistake Coogler made (and then corrected). Look how quick and easy you skip over prolly ten generations of people whose names you could EASILY find out vs some unnamed ancient Africans and some tribes you don't understand. You don't know their languages, their songs, or their traditions. This is crazy.

I've spoken about self-abnegation before- this is it. You don't EVER hear this shyt from other diasporans.

I don't see why we have to choose. I legit do not understand the argument.

They're all your ancestors.

They're in your genetic code whether you want to acknowledge it or not.

Tariq's disciples think making AI c00n art is power moves. Mocking hairlines is an achievement and unlocking new slurs is progression.

The path to reparations apparently is paved with butter biscuits
"pannies"? "blanket blacks"? Why are so-called black people coming up with slurs to use towards other black people? The self-hatred is crazy. What cult you in breh? Wake up

Nothing wrong with Aframs acknowledging their ANCIENT African ancestry but those things of various tribes in AFRICA aren't "Afram" (or FBA lol) history. All "new world black" history started when they got shipped to the Americas; and in the case of FBAs, it (the ethnogenesis) started in/on MAINLAND USA.
:skip:

You tried hard brother but no and no. Your history doesn't start at some point you pick because you are desperate to separate from your supposed ancient ancestry. Which by the way it isn't. It's not ancient, they still exist.

Peak coping buffoonery :laff:
