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

[Ray D’Angelo Harris]

Coli FBA nationalists HATE being tied to Africa in any way shape or form

 

[Ray D’Angelo Harris]

I remember when I was a kid some of my friends used to call the African kids “African Booty scratchers”, tease them about their names, make “Coming to America” references, and talk about the way they smelled. And I never stood up for the African kids or told my friends to stop. And even though I was just a kid at the time, I still ain’t forgave myself for that

2 days from now voice of reason etc will be making the same posts

and some african or caribbean or blk american people will try to reason and provide understanding

it will be useless
voice of reason, jack ross, and the reuger guy want WAR, BEEF, DIVISION, INSULTS

and what is sad is that they obviously have little understanding of history
like obviously these are guys who never opened a history book in their lives

I would be ashamed

When I was a kid, African Booty Scratcher was a tease any Black kid could receive. I was called one many times as a tease as many others were who were not African.

I was also joked about the Shaka Zulu movie, teenagers in high school teasing me saying I looked like him. None of it bothered me, because I felt Shaka was a great King protecting his people.

Children tease each other over many things, because children are too young to fully understand what they are doing is cruel. That does not give grown adults a valid reason to then hold a grudge against those who teased them as a child. We adults are suppose to grow past the teasing we experienced as children, not hold on to them and use them as an excuse to act untoward other people who never even knew you as a child.

Heh, if I had let the teasing I experienced about me being dark-skinned and ugly affect me as an adult, I would have only sought out non-Black women to date. It was sisters that told me I was too dark and ugly, when I was a child and teenager. It would have been weak of me to allow childhood teasing to affect my adult life.

This is what you missing.
I have seen family and friends get kicked out of school, arrested, turn to the streets, deported
Because of those "jokes"

And it continues as adults
It is as such in this very thread

You have no idea how the things you do affects others

I hope the assimilated negros dont gain too much of an interest in Africa. They will just take their white supremacy programming over to the motherland. Stay here in America with the European.

So Africans shouldn’t feel some type of way about how we treated them during their most formative years of life because “we were kids”?

Or let me guess, they should just be like you and take it lying down with no grease?

Is that what you tell people who were bullied as kids who then grow up to be CEOs and never forget those who bullied him?

Is that what Michael B Jordan should’ve done the other day when that chick who used to bully him was interviewing him?

Let me guess, you never rapped along with Mike Jones screaming “back then hoes didn’t want me, now I’m hot now they all on meh!”

You never told a mf “damn homie, in HS you was the man homie, fvck happened to you “

You really sat there and wrote a whole mental gymnastic on telling people how to handle their traumas.

I swear you nikkas are the most unaccountable “butbutbut” ass goofballs I have ever conversed with

Nah it's been around. Just checking this New Age Internet Ass babble trying to sever ties.

Yeah it's sad ass shyt. Some of these dudes like @Buddy hold on to that hurt their entire lives and you can see it manifest whenever ADOS acknowledges they're their own ethnicity he can't shark lol. Takes them back to those childhood roast sessions they weren't prepared for coming from their country. Some "I'm being excluded and targeted again" PTSD energy coming from these dudes.

Lmaoooo white supremacy programming is already there and thriving.

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

By law, your people were considered property for the first 270 years in this country. Then second class citizen for the next 100 years.

If you don’t look at this country through a lens of suspicion at the very least, I don’t know what to tell ya.

I can’t blame him though can’t tell people how to handle their traumas that they experienced during their most formative years.

Mike Jones never let it go neither “back then hoes didn’t want me, now I’m hot now they all on me”..

Tbh I still hold onto racist sh!t I went through with Ricans back in the day. It keeps my eyes open to them mofos now as an adult..and til this day it has served me well and enabled me to spot racist spice cacs.

I try to be cool with Africans these days to some degree, because I know I was wrong for laughing at the African Booty scratcher and musty jokes when we was kids

All of these smileys demonstrate to me that you are not serious. This is a serious discussion to me, so let me answer some of your pertinent questions.

First, no they should not hold on to childhood teasing as a reason to hate people who never even knew them in childhood.

Second, Michael B Jordan was talking directly to one of his tormentors, not holding a generalized hatred of everyone that looks like his tormentors. There is a difference. Even in his case, he just politely exposed her trying to use him for clout, when she in the past viewed him as corny. So he had a valid reason to check her. If she did not mention their past, he probably would have not mentioned anything about it either.

Third. No, because I have never even heard the rap before. I stopped listening to most rap after the year 2000. What year was that rap made?

Fourth. I told people how I handled my own childhood teasing as an example. They can handle it however they desire, but me pointing out that most anyone could get teased as a child is a fact. Taking that teasing you received and generalizing it over everyone else whom had no contact with you during your childhood seems very childish and petty to me.

Last. I will not take accountability for actions I did not commit. Nor will I hold anyone accountable for actions someone else committed against me. That is where my example came in. Show that If I had that mindset, I would have been seeking out women who did not share my ethnicity. As an adult, I understand children will be cruel and I understand the concept of attributing blame where it belongs.

Mike Jones never let it go neither “back then goes didn’t want me, now I’m got now they all on me”..

But it lowkey shows the disconnection. EVERYONE got it at some point, you either gave it back or took it on the chin. There has to already be some pre-built in sense of being an other to think what they got was something different than every other black kid got.
