EXACTLY!

Somebody got mad at me in one of the "DOS" threads for saying that most of these Diaspora Wars start because Africans/Foreign Black's talk shyt about us Black Americans. Then when we respond, they backtrack... Then talk shyt again, smh.



They always feel the need to compare themselves to us.

Thats how you know who really runs shyt. We dont compare ourselves to nobody. We just do us

Can't lie Black Brits winning in the 2010's. They made their mark.

They're talking to a culture that has been defining modern music/pop culture since the 1890's though

exactly

hence why I said the first tweet is a shot and the second one is opinion. there is no home grown Black UK culture..

We all meshed together to create something that isnt necessarily found in our subdivisions. Our music, slang and dress, Carni etc. Hope therea brehs that can properly answer as I dont have time

This. Whilst our culture is extremely young and not remotely comparable to the AA one, it exists.

E.G use of Somali slang or Patois slang.
Chicken and Chip shops are an example of the food.

Tracksuits and certain shoes like 95s or TNS.

Im literally eating Jollof and Jerk Chicken right now

There is no black British culture it's just Jamaican culture repackaged

shyt there might not be no black Brits in 20 years the way they're breeding themselves out

Could make the argument that Black culture (music, dance, some cuisine) in the "New World" is repackaged African cultre since thats where infuence is rooted from

 

[Iceson Beckford]

The most hilarious shyt about these debates is that the average AA and Black British person doesn't know shyt about the other yet will be the most vocal

I have friends who think The Bay Area is Atlanta

You've got brehs in here who probably couldnt tell you an English city apart from London or a borough in London

You cannot possibly compare the two when there's apparently more Black people in New York alone than Britain.

Being Dark doesn’t make you 100 Black.
