I mean I get that he felt guilty he had never visit a plantation before however that's like saying u feel bad for not saying hi to your mother before your grandmother.

There's nothing wrong with what Coogler said here and it's pretty powerful. Props.

What is wrong is how that tweet and others are using him to create this goofy war. The brotha is reconnecting with his ancestors and legacy.
Some ppl just want to create arguments as to where he starts his connection.

Why does it have to be 'either-or'?


FBADOS are unique and distinct, but we don't have to act like we have no connection to Africa, or hate on other groups of Black people.
Brother you got to tighten up your mind.

This is precisely the way a white man would word his argument. Now there's a fukking conversation about hating africans and other bullshyt that man said nothing about. It's like you either didn't watch the video, or just decided to credit him with some shyt he never even implied.

We been here on this land for 400yrs but everyone wants to skip over that and reconnect with people who don’t give a fukk about us or our plight.

I’m good. Love my African ancestors but I connect directly to my FBA ancestors on this land.

People in here missing the point. He like many other black Americans had their heads stuck in this lala land that pannies and blanket blacks crafted. Where we get our ethnic and historic authentication from Africa, when all of that can be found here on this soil ,within our own lineage

Glad so many of us are waking up outta of that coma
