TMZ asks "Should Black People be referred as "African Americans" or "N***a"

[Hiphoplives4eva]

this brotha is in Japan. I spoke to him when I was on my way out there to tour around, dude is pretty educated and level headed african american. dude keeps it 100 with a lot of what he says.



you meet a lot of like minded people like this in asia.

What was the point of linking that video? He said absolutely nothing about experiences of being black in Japan.

I fukked around and went to a hip hop club last Saturday and they were ou playing straight west coast music from the 90s!! I had a great time! But after 1AM and everyone was drunk I was the MEGA popular black guy! I was on the stage and shyt rappin to some old ass Kurupt song! I think every Black man in his life should come to Japan and just experience what I like to call...."The Shift". Come to a country where white people are not running it. And just see how different your experience is. And the Japanese are just some polite motherfukkers. LOL I always get the "WUZ UP BRO!!!!" when we are in the clubs. I'm usually just chill I don't go out much because work is kicking my ass (STUDENT LOANS DAMN YOU) and I'm getting too old for the bullshyt.


on another note....if you really want to talk racism....The Japanese and Chinese hate is REAL! And the Chinese hack the shyt out of you in basketball. lol

Oh hell yea that hate is real. Now THAT is racism. Japan vs China entire mobs attacking each other, people burning cars from Japan. shyt is real.

Japan was hands down one of the best places I'd ever been, very polite people, actually the nicest I've encountered in Asia tbh, chinese second, Korean last (koreans are best at minding their own business)

I think every black person should come to Asia like you said, but as per usual you have house negroes that dont want you to leave the field, and you're esp have white people that wish for you to be treated worse than the west, but for us that have been, we know better.

actually it was the wrong paste, but I think its best I not link it. I actually prefer black folks like you not come out to asia. I think you should stay exactly where you are.

It's a real eye opener! I feel bad for people with JUST an American point of view about living as a black man. There is much more to life brehs. Open it up! Get out and visit. It's not as bad as the media makes it seems.

You really have mental issues.

I don't want for you to be treated worse than you are here. Even though you're ultimately meaningless to my life and from your posts, a total fukking moron, in a general sense, I don't want you, or any black person to experience discrimination in America or China. It's not a source of patriotism for me to say our racism isn't as bad as their racism. It's still racism. I'm simply telling you what is commonly known, but you can't grasp because of your blinders. I'm glad you haven't experienced, but that doesn't mean it isn't widespread.

Yup. I know what living like a black man in america feels like, and I do just fine where I am. For once I'm seen as an american first, then a black man, instead of a black man, then american. THAT speaks a lot of volume. It takes me to leave my country to experience being an america and the perks that come with it. They don't call me african american, nikka, black american, they just call me american, and I like it, feels good.

 

[GetInTheTruck]

I don't see why you keep posting vids of random American black people in china...by default these people are going to be around people who are going to be more accepting of them based on the fact that they are American.

I'm not saying that people don't exaggerate the negatives about China, or any foreign country for that matter, but you're exaggerating things in the opposite direction and trying to portray China as some sort of utopia for black people. Come on breh, you sound like you have an agenda...a strange one.

I don't see anymore racism toward a white person in china. so you highlighting my blackness further proves my point.

Did you know that violence toward westerners has increased 20% since 2012? and guess what, westerner as in white people. Yet you don't see articles about the shyt loads of violence white men have to endure on a weekly basis at night clubs, but I for damn sure see articles about 'black people in asia' in western media. You dont get it. You're selectively coming at me about racism, making sure I see it, but yet, you don't see how its SELECTIVE. So thats why I pointed out the many racial slurs you see on chinasmack toward white men, or the many beat downs white men get at night clubs around asia, but you never see people trying to thwart or discourage white men from traveling to asia. why is that? Why is yellow on white racism minuscule, but yellow on black crime (and theres hardly any black americans there) something you want to make sure all black men know about?
makes you wonder.

yellow on white = isolated incidients

yellow on black = whole country, systematic

To bring all this drama about the word ni99a is a distraction from real issues...

There is a flip side to this word that can understood...if a little res arch was done

basically... like this song... .. but no where in the lyrics do u hear the word nikka while they are rapping..... but they r talking a bunch a nikka shyt tho



or this joint...

maybe 1 nikka in the entire song , if that..

I dont know why you want to believe so badly that asian people have some thing toward blacks man. but that agenda is what seems strange to me. Youre an indian in america and I heard after 911 yall had it bad, would you say that america is more or less racist toward you than your own country? is america worse than the caste system? because the media sure as hell made it seem like indians were getting disciminated against quite badly and we see how indians are portrayed terribly in the media.

so with that said, are americans racist? if not, how is this different than china and the chinese?

violence toward white = isolated incident

violence toward indians = isolated incident

violence toward yellow = isolated incident

violence toward black = whole country hates your race, systematic.

and then when I talk about experience and post many, you drop back on nationality. I don't know what its like to be african in asia, its probably worse, but Im not african, so I dont quite get your point. I can't speak for africans, rather I would ask a bunch of africans themselves instead of making a bunch of assumptions or reading articles by yuppies.

 

[Tommy Knocks]

nikkas is winning.

and you wonder why I don't live here anymore.

btw. this was my first post in this thread, before I offended some cacs. They got on their 'boy, you aint having it better than massa giving you"

nikka let me live where ever the fukk I wanna live. I chose to live where I live, get off my nuts. I encourage anyone to live where the fukk they want. If I talk about my experience take it how you want, your articles aint what Im seeing, and if I had it worse in Asia I would clearly pack my shyt and go back home, but thats not the case, so I have nothing to prove other than I have read your article and from my experiences, aren't what I'm seeing, so take it how you want. and this is coming from someone that has been ALL OVER asia.

what you need to worry about is YOU not getting bottled at the club and getting your girl snatched clean off your hips, don't worry about what my black ass is doing or enduring. I'm fine.

 

[Micky Mikey]

you present one ignorant negro to the cacs and they'll have a field day. This whole fiasco is just another example of the damage one ignorant negro can do
this video pretty much sums up my feelings on suge and other c00ns like him

Id say the caste system is worse because there is no escaping it.

I personally haven't experienced any more racism post 9-11 than I did pre 9-11 and I rock a beard on occasion. I don't get hassled at customs either. I can't speak for anyone else aside from myself.

Bottom line is you get treated well in China because you're an American. Congrats, I guess.

I aint moved back since.

I'm thinking about south america next, maybe in 2015.

I'll be in Japan and Philippines this coming year tho. I need to chill in Japan for like a week or 2 next time, really get in there and immerse as much as possible. I'd live there if it werent so damn expensive with all them work hours. Screw that.

Exactly, yet the media makes it seem like you get singled out at airports and sikhs are getting dragged into the streets. I also heard white people are always picking on your accents and calling you names. You see how the media can APPEAR as if things are worse than they are? This is how china is. Its not nearly as bad as whats being reported, thats why I can only when you try to explain this and people are still in denial and think you're on an agenda or lying

All you have to do is ask any african american in asia and it'll be the same thing Im saying. We have a dozen black americans that post here that have spent time in Asia and ALL of them say the same exact things.

It has nothing to do with nationality, I just told you, places like BJ and Guangzhou have social issues because of some bad apples in those cities. There are african in shenzhen and theyre doing just fine, many are doing business and making more money than non corporate westerners, many dealing in raw mineral and are driving BMWs in China, but here you are telling me they're treated like dogs. Most of the africans in SHZ are CAKING. Even the women, who are there buying weaves. them broads are walking around on some coming to america shyt. But then you have nigerians in BJ who are real bad news, stay away, in certain places the racism is real, same with Guangzhou, there's some places where theres a lot of bad apples that have left a bad taste in the locals mouths. Like I said, the media does not explain these social complexities.
