All african Americans need to get back to knowing our own history first in this country both good and bad then going to learn about other countries

Yes i want to know about Africa, but hell even at my old age i still don’t know a lot about my ancestors here in America and their fight and their success

Kinda sad hearing a lot of black folks today talk about “ i need to get to italy and france and learn their history “ and we have no idea or don’t even want to know our rich history
Never understood why people want to go halfway across the world to "find themselves" when they haven't found out their own history. You realize you're connected to something bigger knowing your ancestors.

BTW I like traveling and like learning about world history but there's something to be said learning about your own history.

Statements of a c00n especially the bolded.

The more you talk, the more you reveal your c00n spirit. Every single person that’s on this site that’s Black American is a mixture of multiple African countries/tribes, you dumbass, because they raped our grandmothers and forced them to have sex with strangers. And like a c00n, you make fun of that history :rudy: I can’t believe there are suckers like you out here that walk through life wanting your identity to start with how you were put into chains by white people :scust: We were in Africa for thousand of years but your mind starts with 1492 AD :scust:
Africans engaging is slave trade for thousands of years is why we’re in this in the first place

Nobody cares about africa not even africans

nikkas working overtime trying to throw smut on this man name
A black American man saying something real is offensive to you why
So let me get this straight
It’s okay for you flag nikkas to throw your sets up and twirl that shyt over your head like Petey Pablo

But black Americans finding something impactful about our heritage and history is divisive
The same history that my people died in the streets for
Got attacked by not only police but dogs/water hoses
And we still fighting alone to this day
shyt is mad funny and sad at the same time
Everybody want to ride our coattails until we say
Nah, we about self and trying to keep us together
It’s time for you nikkas to fight since yall hate us so much
Since your families don’t want you marrying or dating a black American
Since you purposely make it known where you from when shyt get really hectic
You like when black Americans are meek and scared to speak on it just like the crackers yall so call “hate”
This man tapping into his roots and it’s a problem
The saying is true
You’ll never leave this earth as a black man with no smut on your name if you are in the public eye
Mad he will own his film if the world don’t blow up in 25 years
Mad he getting residuals
Mad he is a proud black American man
Mad he didn’t bring native Americans back in his film
Take and take but want a nikka to shut up about heritage
fukkin lames
Don’t @ me, I don’t think highly of anybody on this forum
Especially TLR and never read anything you nut ass nikkas type

Can you point out which SPECIFIC 'flag nikkas'(I got bushed for typing it, but ok) have a problem with someone being a proud black American


copy the quote, because I have not seen it

alot of you on here want to express anger and people and seem to create a straw man to express your anger on


Please quote the SPECIFIC quote of 'flag nikkas"(quoting you, because by this definition I'm being called a nikka, same word I got bushed for using)
that have a problem with black Americans being proud to be such.

I'm open minded, even though many of you have your own inconsistent double standards

which Africans are you referring to? the ones in Malawi, blacks in Morroco, Namibia, where?

which ehtnic groups in which countries, where are they now?

From what I've read many FBA/ADOS carry the dna of Africans who allegedly sold slaves :sas2:

Yet non ados people never miss an opportunity to tell people that they’re Jamaican, Haitian, Nigerian etc. This is pure hatred…

African is African to me.

it's not, nobody and no tribe from Malawi or Lesotho sold your ancestors to America
it doesn’t matter if they’re my ancestors. there’s still slavery in Lesotho today and Malawi has engaged in slave trade with the arabs as well

like i said same shyt

the fact that you are all those things means you are nothing and have no identity you weirdo

nikka said i’m ghanaian, and angola and nigerian, countries that didn’t exist when you left the continent

inside of those countries there’s tribal dna, so minimally 3 tribes on top of that on top of 3 countries that didn’t exist and are the result of colonization and on top of that you have no citizenship in.

nikka rather be a confused African mutt than a real Black American

nobody cares what you talking about u dumb mutt we done with africa
:dead:

reminds me of them hoes who say they’re mixed with 4-5 different ethnic groups

Speak for yourself. I did my genetic testing. I’m Nigerian, Ghanian, Angolan. Among other things. Primarily Nigerian. I am Owo and Imo. I’m done responding to y’all nikkas. Our history doesn’t start and end with slavery. GTFOH.

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.
