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

[Buddy]

Best thing I heard from his ass in years. Disagree on the point of us getting our soul, etc from them. We have that because we are them would've conveyed it a lot better. All in all it's a great call tho

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

I can't wait to touch down in the motherland. One day, one day, brehs.



Edit
I disagree with us getting everything from Africans. I wouldn't say we got anything from each other. We ARE each other. We are simply them after 400 years of the worst slavery and inhumane conditions and terrorism from white folks that this world has ever seen.

I am an African American descendant of slaves.

I know a lot of you nikkas hate being tied to Africa but my grandfather (who was a gun-toting, bean pie slanging member of the NOI) instilled in me love for Black and African people, and the requirement of Black unity, and that includes half-black folk some of you cats claim ain't Black. I don't play that shyt personally, but whatever.

I ain't never had hate or smoke for the diaspora. It's Black African love around here, so this is piff as far as I am concerned.

That's what I was tryna say in the OP but thanks for reiterating

The man ain't perfect thats for sure but I applaud him making the effort and using his voice.

As a brother whose half I can relate. On my diaspora side, our people made premium lemonade outta lemons wit what we was left with and now the World wanna be us, but the African sensibilities is the blueprint. You'd be surprised at what ridiculous similarities survived 400 years of oppression.

That’s trivial.

Nobody “ natively” linked to america through dna…

[BobbyWojak]

That’s trivial.

no pun intended

lighthearted teasing is not mocking cultures

I use to go toe to toe with my high school AA classmates, it was never personal. As long as you don't cross that obvious line, it's all fun.

You were mutually mocking people you knew. He’s mocking strangers from a position of power. Big difference. And I watched the series…The shyt was cringey as hell.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Where's my citizenship then

 

[Donny]

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 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

 

[F*ckthemkids]

That’s trivial.

We’re two different people. We’re entitled to view things differently.
