The way that FBA influences the world is amazing

[Wiseborn]

They have no empathy or connection to a Black struggles. I went to school with children of corrupt politicians. They drove in grade school had chauffeurs. All their gains are steeped in evil. They are classier as fukk. Wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire. They are complicit in hat their folks do. They often continue the legacy

This is the biggest turn off for me of Africa. Granted poor people act like poors the world over but the lack of rule of law makes Africa look bad. Unless an African basically created a whole new technology or service the main way you become elite in Africa is by stealing.

 

[Voice of Reason]

You won't meet worse people than the African elite and their children. Stop celebrating this goofy shyt. These are far from average people. The elite parading stolen wealth of Nations.

Is it safe to call them tethers

 

[Wiseborn]

These folks say we have no culture but copy everything we do




Next they will have HBCU style bands

I want to let you have this and I agree with you but you do know that Proms is basically a copy of white debutante balls and HBCU bands are basically military marching bands with FBA culture sprinkled on top.

Wait till you find out that Peanuts are African and the non pig elements of Soul Food have African roots.

If they’re in Africa they can’t be tethers.

This brings money into FBA pockets how


Being cool and copied gets us what benefit

my fathers company supplied the fleet of cars.

so what are you talking about

I was going to say, the photographers, videographers. make up artists, hair stylists/barbers, creative directors, stylists, fashion designers, etc...

I mean I could say we’re speaking in English you likely had Ham n Eggs but forget all of that this is one of those situations that would be pointless because we wouldn’t even agree on the facts.

So you got it every single thing you do is unique and somehow you live in a white majority country without any white influences

 

[Peruvian Connect]

SMH!! Yall celebrate this then it's 100,000 threads crying about how someone won't take their foot of our necks. Why don't we use this "influence" to elevate as a whole?

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

Prom??? In Africa??!!

Man I ain't NEVER heard of Prom being a thing in any African country until this thread. Must be a gen Z thing

Family reunions —> Cookouts —> Block Parties

that cultural line started as a way for black people to find relatives who were sold or displaced during slavery, as a reunion point to reconnect families, and as we moved into more urban environments they changed to survive in them

that has nothing to do with white people

the same way that not all our last names come from “slave owners”, a lot of them come from occupations (carpenter, cook, smith) and chosen names.


but let you pan africans tell it everything we have and do is attached to crackers

just using your example is not unique to FBA people everyone has feasts and family reunions

Block parties got started with social justice movements I know you’re not suggesting that a Block Party is an FBA thing going back when FBA’s didn’t live on city blocks.


That’s another thing as an old nikka I been to one or two in Brooklyn when I was a child but Block Parties don’t exist anymore and if they did we know people would be shot.

It’s just an excuse to dress up and go to a party. They have them in a lot of countries now. The world is getting homogenous.

It seems like cope because using our influence to get money is apperently too hard.

Before donnie blew up world trade the Black Chamber of Commerce could take a product used by FBA and sell it to other Black People.

The ambassador would have to help you set up shop, but now with tariffs people ain’t really looking for new american products so in Colombia most Afro hair products like Afro Love is either made in Brazil or the Dominican Republic not Chicago.

I’ll bet the few bonnets and wave caps I see down here ain’t from the states either. Yes they stole that from FBA’s too.
