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

[Malcolmxxx_23]

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.

I was actually lying
No one ever called me booty scratcher

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

I didn't know Ottawa had a significant population of african americans.

Bruh i am NOT about to read this whole thread but I did skim the first page and all i see is muhfukkas crying talking about OP is lying blah blah blah..... n!gga stfu, i grew up in that era when Black kids in school would always use the term african booty scratcher. There was even fukking songs about the sh!t
It never sat comfortable with me though nor did i ever join in.
But to sit in here and say Blacks didnt used to do that sh!t HEAVILY to Africans? The fukk rock did you grow up living under?

I've heard it.

Assata Shakur speaks about it in her autobio, also. And when we think "African Booty Scratcher" it really is an umbrella for the negative stigma Africans face in a judgmental context from Blacks in America.

Such a sad situation our people are in. Whew.

Idiots love to judge AA's on what the white media tells them about AA's. I bet all of the crying about being called this never was called this to their face by a AA.

The fukk?

I cant speak for anyone else but up until I was about 10 I was called African Booty Scratcher on a regular basis. Then I got bigger and started beating them up

Grown men crying over what a kid said to them in elementary school, the coli.com.

This thread is wack and fake outrage.

If you was over it, you wouldn't want to provide a damn thing. Again, I said I never heard the term until this thread. But are we gonna discuss kids calling each other nappy headed, bald headed, ghetto, ashy, charcoal black, etc? Nah, cause this is a troll thread

Breh...

What do you think happens to the trauma, bullying, humiliation & fear that is experienced in childhood? You think it disappears?

We are human beings. Mental health is so underrated. For every paper cut, you get a bandaid...however, anytime we get mental damage...we don't always soothe the wound.

I'm sure you've worked at an office or company before and have seen people who are anti-social bullying bosses. You think that doesn't stem from childhood upbringing? Your type of insensitivity is exactly why we have so many issues with respect to social interaction.

Example: If a traumatic experience happened with a police officer to a young black 13 year old... Do you not realize that type of experience may cause long term effects with respect to said 13 year old regarding his view of police?

Bullying works the same.

Breh, calm down... I didn't make this thread. If you want to make a thread about those... go right ahead. And if someone says "no one ever said ghetto or nappy headed" I'll go in that thread and say the same thing I said in this one.

It's not that serous...

I'll simplify it for you. All I did was say "Yes, this happened to me when I was young"

I'm regretting posting in this thread... Its not really that serious.

(but I do understand your logic)

African booty scratcher applied to anybody ashy when I was growing up...or if you looked poor.

And then those same people have the nerve to be upset when AA's judge Africans based upon what the white media tells AA's about Africans. I see this word Akata used by Africans about African Americans. Africans get their perception about AA's from white media. But the really crazy part is that AA's have seen movie after movie from the white media which show the Africans are Akata.

So it is propaganda both ways.

AKATA means PANTHER, not "cotton picker"...be upset at mistranslations from movies.
