"Africa is a c00n continent!" - TBA :whew:

[Poitier]

I could also why haven't African-Americans defeated cacs and driven them out of black majority areas in the US? That'd be petty though.

Because we're a minority whose history starts in bondage

We didn't willingly get outsmarted by foreigners because we refused to be cognizant of how said foreigners move for 100s of years

I don't care if I get called a 'c00n', I'm Igbo before I am black.

Great. What are you guys building for your future under that identity?

Hmmm...but your ancestors ended up in the Americas...you're walking into an L

When African-Americans carve out a state from South Carolina and Georgia - let a brother know.

When the Igbo tried to carve out their own....they got hoe'd so bad you can hear the cries til this day

Instead they have a nation carved out for them by White men just like everyone else

So whats your point?

"Fight for independence".....pat yourself on the back for attempting to get out of a ditch you dug up

A country.

The audacity of African-Americans in this thread seeking to insult over 1.1 billion Africans in order to prove some sort of 'superiority' in fighting against white supremacy when Africans have literally taken up arms and defeated armies of White supremacists in Angola, Mozambique and Zimbabwe


When African-Americans carve out a state from South Carolina and Georgia - let a brother know.

As soon as the Igbos carve out a sub-division in Toronto

Pivot to Igbos when this portion of discussion was about Angolans, Mozambiqans and Zimbabweans.

Anyway - the point is Africans have sovereignty and fought for it. Bloodily. African-Americans pretending to be harder than Africans on the pan-African front doesn't mesh with reality. Don't 180,000 Af-Ams serve with the army of the state that forced your people to go through a 400 year eugenics/slavery/terrorism experiment?


Seems like Af-Ams are bigger c00ns. That's akin to South African black people actively joining an Afrikaner army in 2017.

Theyre not a top priority.

Sad responses all over no nuanced arguments blank generalizations. Sounds familiar? I have actually been in Africa the past 2months (Senegal, Cameroon, Sierra Leone, Ghana). Some of you idiots haven't been past the corner bodega down your block and have the nerve to engage in these types of complex discussions with generalizations.

A country.

But there are no evil Nigerians suppressing Igbos in the west. What are you doing for yourselves in the west like the other educated and ambitious immigrant groups? Is it that Africans are simply not capable anymore of raising their voice against non-Africans?

Africans have sovereignty

Why did Africans have to fight for this supposed "sovereignty" in the 1st place? I can do this all day....

Most Nigerians in the West are Yoruba and Igbo. In fact, we make more than Korean and Danish Americans on a per capita basis.

And yet African-Americans have no sovereignty. Stop it.


African-Americans are still in the bosom of their former captors and treated like shyt because of it on a daily basis.

LOOOOL lots of folks in this thread have no clue what they are talking about.....viewing the african continent with a monolith lens..with little context of course.

Africans didn't fight in the WWs or are you historically illiterate? lol.

I don't deny the trauma and bad decision-making going on with my folks.....only one group of people are doing that in here
