Idiots love to judge AA's on what the white media tells them about AA's... .

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.

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

Man,

Northern Black people in the USA used to call Southern Black people in the USA worse names than that. So if you were only called a booty scratcher then you will be alright. Northern Black people used to call Southern Black people "Country bumpkins" "dusty" on and on and on.

Propaganda is maybe the most effective tool in war.

Lol at "dusty"or "country bumpkin" being worse than "booty scratcher" or any other sub human related epithets:stopitslime:

It was worse, because many of those Northern Black people were from the Country too; but they were putting on airs to try to make themselves feel better than the other people from the Country.

Btw, it wasn't just limited to those words. It also included how you spoke; what you ate and how you looked. Some of the stuff was very personal.
