Smokey Robinson Resents Being Called African American

[Laidbackman]

This sounds absurd like you can paint all Africans and Aframs with one haplogroupic lens.

It is what it is.

Smokey Da GOAT


I wonder if this interview was before or after The View placed Whoopi on timeout for speaking on the Isitreallys

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

This African American shyt needs to stop forreal. Time we take a stand on this fukkshyt, don't nobody call these thieving ass, leeching ass neanderthals - European Americans .

They kept sending out Ol’ Messy Jesse and Skipper Gates to push that bullshyt name upon us since the 80’s lmaooo, I’m glad it’s finally getting more pushback these days.

I wish we had this back.

There’s no such things asa uniform look between west and Central Africans, that point is insane there’s more genetic diversity in Africa than anywhere in the world.

I know but Smokey and Yvette don't look like anyone in West Africa.

Most darker skinned black Americans can find various groups that they resemble. My dad's family looks very similar to Igbo people I know while my mom's family looks a bit more like Akan people from Ghana.

I was wondering the same thing. If it was, then Smokey took a chance going on that show. He played it cool though.

I remember this. And we all fell in love with being Black (The Struggle). Like I said, we know we're the real Israelites now, but you can't be a celebrity like Smokey, and say that loud and be proud, not on no radio or tv show, especially on Whoopis' show, after what just happened to her. So I'm not gonna knock any Black celebrities for not speaking up after what happen to Whoopi, De Sean Jackson, and Nick Cannon. I never had millions to lose, and I never walked in their shoes. But just being an average Joe, more of us should be speaking out. So I'll will call two thirds of us cowards for ignoring who we are, and like the Bible says, two thirds of us ain't gonna make it. With the sudden threat of WW3, we may not have as much time as we think.

Smokey a real one and is a huge part of our history

but I swear if the devil was real and took human form,he would look just like this nikka, he’s a creepy looking dude

he also reminds me of the cat on tales from the hood

Only 3% of Africans made it to what is now call United States of America as their final destination.

Since this thread got bumped, I couldn't hold this back, But of all the horror characters you chose to represent the devil, you picked a brother, especially one who was playing a slained civil rights activist, who came back and took out the two White cops that killed him. That's something just about every Black person would like to see in real life, especially lately.

You know the Savior looked like us. And you know who we call the devil.

You don't look at Smokey and Yvette and immediately think 'Black couple'..neither looks Black but more Hispanic.

If you look ambiguous, I noticed the person usually becomes super militant or super c00n.

Smokey is probably 50% white anyway and clearly has faced identity issues throughout his life. Now he sounds like a typical c00n and thecoli c00n brigade is right with him.
Self hate disgusted as pride.

I doubt black people were using the racist sects slang.
