African Americans .why did y'all call us Africans "booty scratchers" when we came to this country

[K.O.N.Y]

The whole booty scratcher,"do you live in huts", "do you get chased by lions" thing, comes from Africans experience with AA children/teenagers.
The "im not from Africa, im from Crenshaw mafia" ignorance of a child.
Africans on the other hand, be grown ass men and women spewing ignorance towards AA still harboring those insults from their childhood
When the average AA adult has since moved on from such rhetoric and c00nish discourse and becomes one of the most afrocentric, pan African, "black is beautiful" force in the world
Despite being disconnected from her for centuries
Adult Africans entertain insults intended to skip the flesh and go straight through the heart.... Your "Atleast we weren't slaves". Laughing at blacks for experiencing police brutality. Our treatment from the system and our place in American status quo

Apples and oranges breh

I'm from north america

Key word America

breh you gotta be trolling

The black dynamic in America is completely different than Canada. Canada comprises of 1st and 2nd gen African/caribbeans as the black majority

Americas black majority are blacks that are generations deep in the country. Completely different

I was called that in elementary school. We push unity but it is hard to achieve no matter what race of people. I think unity is easier to possess with a small number of people. If it's achieved on a larger scale it's a marvel for real.

Guess its similar to being called banana boat if your from the Caribbean - just demonstrates a lack of knowledge.

i can remember AAs calling other AAs "african booty scratcher", so it just wasn't a slur against africans, haitians or whoever else was mentioned in here

 

[Kings County]

Proof?

its true
i remember people doing it but we were kids we aint know any better
we didnt know anything about the white power structure
we used to make fun of special ed kids too but in hindsight when u an adult u realize its not that funny

 

[Blackout]

They had people from both sides going at each other.

Some AAs went against Africans and called them names and some Africans went against AAs and called us akata, slaves and told their daughters they better not mix with us.

Yet we have proof of adult Africans going in on AAS for shyt that happen in school. Seems like tall bytch made. Anyone crying about a kid calling them something corny like a booty scratcher can grow up.

So wait all of us were openly sold to cacs by our own? Because I thought a lot/most of us were forcefully taken.

Africans sold other Africans to the Europeans during the slave trade. Africans were forcefully taken during warfare and/or during village raids by otherAfricans; who in most cases were armed by Europeans. So the trade ended up being for the benefit of Europeans, but it just goes to show how low down, dirty and inhumane Africans can be towards one another.

I am not African and I got called a African booty scratcher and I think if you were dark skin you was going to get called that it's just jokes tho that's what kids do fat kids get talked about light skin people get talked about dark skin people etc I didn't get mad I would just crack jokes back

 

[Reactor1804]

Just more division!

 

[Savior]

I dont remember being called any particular term but I did get made fun of for how I dressed, and the fact I didnt speak good english/had an accent. Really its not that deep tho, yall in here ultra analyzing the actions of 10-12 year olds. At that age they'll clown any and everything I did plenty of it myself that Im not proud of

 

[DPresidential]

I always hated that... We Africans didn't forget...again this was early and late 90s

Self-hate that had & has been indoctrinated in Pan-Africans living in America for Centuries, breh.

I apologize for any of that bullshyt I participated in when I was a child. I want that unity to flourish.
