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

[FeloniousMonk]

Might have been referring to the hottentots when talking bout scratching booty..

 

[DabbinSauce]

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.

If they had any knowledge of self and culture the south would be like sort of a mecca to these c00ns.
That's why I don't even trip when non-American blacks say AAs don't have any culture, it's borderline trueWell, I guess they do have one, just not smart enough to recognize it

 

[Supa cat]

The nikka lives in canada too

But people are gonna fall for the bait ofcourse

Exactly they fall for it alllll time. Starting think some of these coli ppl are mentally ill.

 

[No Sleep]

Can't neg this fukk boy.

 

[DabbinSauce]

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.

Now all these black muthafukkas walkin around talkin bout "bih" and "bae" like they from the south

Africans don't have any moral grounds for standing up and saying that AA's don't have any culture, because it was Africans that assisted the Europeans in stripping AA's of their culture. On top of that African Americans have fashioned a culture of their own right in the USA without assistance of anyone else. As soon as slavery ended AA's went from ragtime to jazz to blues to rock and roll etc. The rest of the World, including the Africans and other non-American Blacks end up emulating AA culture.

 

[keepemup]

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.

As an African breh, I was routinely called this by black Americans from the moment I got here.

I'm from north america

Key word America

 

[Londilon]

Im glad you were such a fine upstanding citizen at the age of 12

That's right, throw it back onto me, so that you won't feel so bad.

 

[Bugatti Biceps]

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

Because yall nikkas hate soap. Wash ya ass and you won't scratch it so much.

 

[Strike-Wun]

As I stated in the other thread, I never heard anyone black over the age of 12 use that term

Yeah, but AAs ain't even smart enough to even pinpoint they own fukkin culture

 

[RoyalQ]

No lie, im haitian and this jamaican girl used to call me that in middle school. Not in a bully way but she called me that on occassion. Never heard it again though and havent heard anyone else say it.

Then I guess I never hanged out with c00ns. Never experience anyone I know saying this around me or to someone.

 

[El Bombi]

nah American blacks definitely did call us that, but I always figure it came from a movie and that's why it was so popular.

Yeah, it came from Boyz in the Hood. Before then nobody was saying it.
