Cause they made us hate ourselves and love they wealth....
"the devil planted fear inside of black babies"

For real though, I've been realizin how much of a mental jux the black American population has been trained through so many means to hate their own heritage and it's sad as f*ck. Being Nigerian/African/West Indian it saddens me to see this denial of greatness.

I don't know...when I was younger I used to feel someway about it...but the older I get I've just fully appreciated my African roots and background and essence. They're ain't nobody that look like me or us. I feel like I've been blessed or something for real. They hate cause they can't understand and they envy us and they've been told lies about us. I smile in the face of a hater son. Maybe it's cause of my strong family ties and whatnot but I got respect for myself and other black folks across the diaspora and that translates to respect to people for all. I see the reality of how generations of blinders have made us lost but to take them off is to achieve true knowledge and wisdom of humanity for real.

Funny thing is, African Americans know very little about what Africans truly look like. As the most genetically diverse place on earth, Africans come in all shades, shapes and sizes. ALL!!!! The dude who said that might not even have graduated high school or been beyond his own state.
I remember the 'African Booty Scratcher' joke in Boyz N the Hood. Painful to hear coming from Black kids, but very necessary and am proud of John Singleton for putting that in there. It was important for Africans to know that most African Americans aint really feeling them and pretty much wanted nothing to do with them. Oh, 90% of the time you cannot tell an African from an African American, unless youre talking about how obese African Americans are then yeah. Some Africans have very distinct looks that you wont find in American Blacks, but I can assure that somewhere in Africa you'll find an African that resembles any African American. African Americans only for the most part came from the west coast of Africa.


Look at this fukking guy here lol

Dude comes into my thread shytting on african americans and shytting on me.


1. I can normally tell the difference between africans and BA

2. Yes that one little boy (in a movie) means we all hate africans

3. "Oh, 90% of the time you cannot tell an African from an African American, unless youre talking about how skinny they are due to starvation"

Its not nice when you flip it around is it?

You gotta remember that after a few generations, the slaves were completely cut off from knowing Africa and were "Americanized". Looking "African" was a slight to the fresh off the boat slaves who didn't know what the hell was going on or how to pick cotton and tobacco. Its just sad that black people still haven't woken up.

It's is to identify c00ns, they get uneasy anytime you mention anything about Africa. Just say "Africa" and read their body language :mjlol:

Yo for real though...it's like Africans in America or anywhere else are pushed towards feeling "ashamed" almost of their origins and where they came from like everything in the great white west is just...better just cause.

I have more pride in my African heritage than anything American anymore...shyt this is a b*stard country with no real identity. The African continent is thousands of years old and is rich with people and identity. That outsiders have tried to destroy out of jealously.

It made me wonder personally how strong the black person/man/woman must have to be to have so many concentrated attempts to destroy their identity. It seems like no matter what...it just can't be done...but the powers that be will try anyways.

You got a problem with it?
LOL. This is why forums like this one exist.

Obviously this site is full of "them" and it makes them uncomfortable for us to talk about things they can't grasp or relate to personally...or they just want us to stay in the dark and continue living blind, deaf, and dumb.

There are a lot of ignorant people and attitudes running around, unfortunately.
