Steve Harvey turnt the fukk up: "Them Africans is us!! / "My goal is to bridge this gap"

[VoxSphere74]

Black people do these diaspora wars....

But cacs form up like voltron around the world whenever Zimbabwe or South Africa talk about throwing cacs off land that they shouldn't even be on in Africa.

 

[Henri Christophe]

Rich nikkas dont play tribal politics.... thats for lil nikkas.

The upper crust of all groups of men tend to have an international orientation & international connects.

At the top - its about making connections based on wealth, power, and mutual interests.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

We are different. But that's FINE.

Whatever criteria makes one Black.... All Black people need to unite.

Cause the non Black are already united against us all.

 

[Dynamite James]

Yet when he was doing family feud Africa all he could do was mock their accents

He’s a comedian

 

[RadaMillz]

First these nikkas were from Shem, now they Native Americans lol anything to distance themselves from Africa they will dig up the most obscure references of black and native Americans and disregard literal MOUNTAINS of dna, linguistic, cultural, religious, and architectural evidence linking black in the new world to Africa. Here is people the somebody from the Gullah Geechi people of South Carolina speaking the same language of somebody in Sierra Leone despite being centuries removed from one another

The craziest part for me is that it’s the most west African looking ones going through extreme lengths denying the hardest, it’s never biracials but Don Cheadle doppelgänger saying his Indian chactow

We took nothing from them. Our ancestors are from Africa, so we’re using what we already had. He lost me with that part but everything else is cool.

 

[LadyJ2]

IDK I sometimes think it is in black people

Rich nikkas dont play tribal politics.... thats for lil nikkas.

i agree with this but that is not ok. The average black man in America has nothing in common with an African so to act like it’s just an automatic bond that “we” aren’t tapping into is not true.

I am not saying I am ok with these “wars” or whatever but Harvey is soft-shoeing and chastising his “own people”. Notice the crowd is very lukewarm toward what he is saying.

Yeah it's a "Continuation" of African Culture(s), it's deeply embedded in Black American culture(s).

We are "Americanized" Africans

 

[RiverCity916]

We certainly didn't get our haircuts from them. Thankfully

 

[Henri Christophe]

The average black man in America has nothing in common with an African

I assume both black men of the diaspora & african men both want a prosperous future for their women and children

A world where black men are respected and have economic and political power

If we can agree on these things - there is nothing left to discuss.

Black men are professional time-wasters and bullshytters.... nikkas worried bout "having things in common" as if youre trying to bag a female and have sex...... the bottom line is black men across the world share common interests.... but theyre too dumb to collaborate and establish a future for their people.

& thats why we're the laughing stock of the planet.

 

[NoirDynosaur]

Of course there's always been a bridge within the diaspora ever since 60's civil rights era... the MLK "I have a dream" speech along with Malcolm X encouraged a lot of African countries to seek freedom from their European colonial masters

Not forgetting the countless musicians that toured the continent in the 70s including James Brown! The "Black and I'm proud" era!

^^ James Brown with Grand Kalle - inventor of Congolese Rumba.

A lot of young Africans look up to AA as an influence especially through music (hip hop, r&b, soul), sports, values (being assertive, ambitious, courageous), fashion.

What we need to do is control our image change the narrative change how we view the world...We go harder on our own but yet where's does that brings us? Back to stagnation. We need to do better as a whole.

 

[SupaDupaFresh]

Nobody “ natively” linked to america through dna…

funny how every other black person around the world can connect to their country but fba can’t…..with usa

No one cares where a nikka rep. When I was growing up Caribbean brehs repped they island, Euro brehs repped they country, American brehs repped they city or state. And we all had pride and solidarity as brothers of African descent. Then one day some failed DC staffer lesbian on John Tanton's payrole and an internet pimp decided to pit black people against each other for money and Republican checks and it worked.

When yall and your social media leaders can figure out how make that connection without turning into self hating right wing c00ns and bigots, giving Tariq money just to tell hairline jokes, calling Africans straight up savages and freeloaders, scapegoating them for crimes acting like scared bourgeois pearl clutching Karens, and trying to discredit the intellect, accomplishment, and entire contributions of all other black people like a bunch of white supremacist-adjacent cacs I think you will find greater tolerance for yalls shyt.

We got plenty of UK, Canadian, and Latino brehs on this board and I don't see none of them running around denigrating other black people, calling themselves insecure and protective acronyms to "distinguish" themselves from Africans or anyone else, turning their noses and top hats up and claiming some inherent intellectual superiority over Africans, telling people to go back where they came from, mocking poverty as if they living in utopias, or going on long self-absorbed diatribes about "muh ancestors" while dissing other people's ancestors, struggles, and history.

It's like some of yall have either really internalized this view that black people are deserving of abuse and disrespect so much that you've found relief in taking it out on other black people for your own amusement or yall really feel this blindly self entitled to respect from others.

Yvette did nothing wrong except allow Tariq a way in to ruin the movement.

 

[Buddy]

Yvette did nothing wrong except allow Tariq a way in to ruin the movement.

Please don't bring her up. I shyt on Tariq at any given opportunity but Yvette ruined her damn self. The chapters (that formed on their own without her support) didn't leave because of Tariq. They left because she was tryna strong arm them into her umbrella after the fact and they FINALLY realized how she and Tone cannibalize anyone with an original thought.

The bytch was blockin people who never even interacted with her but "Tariq ruined it"

 

[TEH]

I’ve seen people say that those are different black people and we never had any ancestors in Africa.
