What do africans think of African Americans?

[K.O.N.Y]

Reggae gained notoriety on its own and Bob Marley was his own man.

Jamaicans also contributed to a lot of the success/reach of Aframs. Marcus Garvey and hip-hop pioneers are classic examples.

Just give Jamaicans their just due, they're small but mighty.

reggae was an offshoot of American randb and soul music. Bobs biggest influence were Afram ranb/soul singers we've had whole threads on this before

Aframs are largely responsible for much of modern pop music and culture it has nothing to do with narrowing it down to a specific genre. Jamaicans are part of that dynamic

Marcus Garvey left jamaica to fukk with Aframs for a reason. Read his letters

And hip hop had caribbean pioneers who were still making Afram geared and inspired music. Nor were all the pioneers carib past or present
Hip hop at its core is a funk disco infused genre. Both of which are afram

This video wasn't that bad. Ain't no real beef.

Not just Jamaicans, but Haitians to a lesser extent too.

I don't know about Haitians. Most people don't even know where Haiti is on the planet and they have no presence anywhere else apart from the US, Canada, and Haiti. However, Jamaicans are everywhere and everywhere they go, they influence the culture over there, including the way the people speak.

Okay.

We can agree to disagree.

But Aframs' influence is intertwined with the reach of the US. Jamaicans don't have that luxury.

Both black groups are neck-and-neck in terms of influence, IMO.

people who hate AAs steal our style and culture. No other group comes close to that sort of influence at all. I would think white Americans are responsible for putting y'all shyt out there as well too. Y'all didn't spread all of that shyt on your own. Reggae/Dance hall, dreadlocks, and weed, cac Americans is the ones that spread that global image/stereotype of y'all

@ cac Americans.

The fact that you don't know that Bob Marley blew up in the UK and was signed to British record labels exposed your ignorance.

Anyway, I'm not here to argue. You're entitled to your opinion, just as I'm entitled to mine. And I won't change my opinion for you, no matter how aggy you get for no reason. Just agree to disagree and keep it moving.

They seem jealous at times.

Still put on by cacs while you tried to make it seem like you did it yourself while AAs didn't and I'm not talkin about Bob Marley. I'm talking about Jamaicans image as a whole. Hollywood put that out more than anything. No one follows Jamaicans except for weirdo hipster cacs that smoke weed. So what influence?

Do nikkas honestly think they can downplay my people and not get downplayed back

Africa has 1 billion people.

If Africans have a negative opinion of African Americans they are doing what every immigrant does when they arrive to America. Racist opinions on African Americans is a final step of assimilation for an enterprising immigrant. The formula goes like this: distance yourself from African Americans (even though in society Africans are virtually indistinguishable), and reap off the benefits and advances made by the civil rights movement. And try your best to ingratiate yourself with white society. (south,east Asians and middle easterns are notorious for this).And of course, not every African thinks like this, so the narrative of Africans as a whole disliking African Americans is obviously false. But you can't deny that anti African american bigotry is still there

There are AAs don't give a fukk about Africa and think no diffrently than cacs.

We are not simplly bystanders in American pop culture imperialism

Breh, AA culture would not have global reach if not for the cac media that helps spread AMERICAN culture to evey country in the world.
