The Term African American Has Ran Its Course-The NYTimes

[Ziggiy]

It’s quite disconcerting how black folk don’t seem to understand the power of perception. Saying you are proud to be black implies you believe black to be all the worst stereotypes and that you have to validate yourself to others. And be honest with yourself. You say this because africa has not portrayed itself in redeeming light. I get that. But better believe you wouldn’t be talking that mess if africa had at least one first world country to boast about.

We actually are, even more so than every other group here but Indigenous people and WASPs. We were on this soul, before the US was formed. So yes, we really are just flat Americans. Still, we need a separation, because even White people will use flat American to slide in on our things. Hell, they already do it, since they have mastered culture thieving.

Unironically just American.

So-called Black folk are indigenous to all known land masses that includes the America's.Listen I'm all for unity among the diaspora but in order to do that there needs to be some true understanding most of us are being lied to most of us are being played.

Yeah, you guys are right and I get what you are saying. I just grew up in the culture wars (I guess @Uachet did too) where 'let's all be Americans' was code for let's all agree that White folks are the cultural template we should all follow and this homie don't play that.

And those Pan-African cats be everywhere but Africa talking about Pan-Africanism. Just a bunch of delusional negroes fantasizing about things they don't truly believe in.

facts. i had a real life debate with my friend who is pan-african. a texan who wears fukkin cowboy boots 80% of the time but swears he’s an African bc he eats egusi and fufu

a confused Dr Umar disciple negro who hates everything america but refuses to take his ass over to nigeria or angola somewhere and preach that pan african bullshıt.

When registration opens I'm sending her a link

She was doing fantastic until that "let slavery simmer down a bit" BS. You think Jews will have let the Holocaust "simmer down" in 300 years? We need to shove our injustice claims down the public's throat just like they do the Holocaust. Never forget

FBA culture is the backbone of American culture. Or better stated: FBA culture is American culture.

Music
Dances
Spirituality
What it means to be American

All of it and more was forged by Freedman ancestors creating and fighting to make sure this society adhered to the values it claimed it held.

I agree but when folks like Tucker Carlson or others rail against 'hyphenated Americans' you know this ain't what they mean. But I am 100% for claiming our legacy in this regard.

Sure, shun Africa but allow any race with a drop of Black blood as you say, to be Black..makes no sense.

The racist NY times telling you to delineate is propaganda meant to fukk you up and leave you isolated.

Mamdani is a clown opportunist.

 

[JT-Money]

Yvette defending Tariq?? ADOS & FBA collab coming soon???

Yvette defending Tariq?? ADOS & FBA collab coming soon???

She's not defending him. She's accusing him of derailing the ADOS movement and ruining its reputation.

I was getting ready to call him a Mississippi Masala ass Indian!

That bytch was fine as fukk in that movie.

We have been isolated for a while.

Africans weren't mounting an offensive to break my people out of slavery over the 240+ years they were held in bondage. (Cudjoe Lewis spoke on him being captured by the Dahomey and sold in the 1800s to white slavers. So, there definitely wasn't any global solidarity then.)

Africans weren't helping in large numbers to aid my people in the struggle for Civil Rights or during the course of Jim Crow.

Same can be said with mass incarceration.

So, what is this, "delineate propaganda is to fukk you up and leave you isolated" you speak of? When have ADOS not been isolated in what is now the USA?

That's too simplistic and childish actually..do what you want of course, its your life..but in these trying times keep all options open.
All I'm saying, the choice is of course yours.

These times are peaceful compared to every other time period in the USA pre Civil Rights.

 

[Fillerguy]

So not only are we waiting for white supremacists to give us money, we're waiting for them to call us by our proper names.

We not making it to 2050.
