[KyokushinKarateMan]

Think, DJ Kool Herc. Or Marcus Garvey. Or Sidney Poitier. Malcolm X. Caribbean gods who are wholly responsible for shaping Black Americans’ sense of identity and sense of purpose throughout history

[MJ Truth]

Marcus Garvey in 2021 would be fukkery personified. He’d be treated worse than Dr. Umar online.

 

[Hungerpain]

Dont know what Foundational means brehs.

 

[⠀X ⠀]

No.

This is an apt description of ‘tether’.

And Haitians would be more foundational than Jamaicans.

What does any of that have to do with Jamaicans in regard to America?
What Foundation did they hep lay down and where?
They wasnt even here like that until the coast was clear so how did they do anything "foundational"?
Keep trolling tho.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Is there a significant number of “non-foundational” Jamaican Americans to warrant the distinction?


This reeks of jealousy of (some; cuz I have never heard an someone use the “foundational” term in real life) AAs feeling the need to identify themselves as a distinct faction of the diaspora.
