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

[↓R↑LYB]

think that came from a movie

Naw, I've heard that shyt a lot growing up. Never made sense to me because who don't scratch they booty from time to time

 

[↓R↑LYB]

They used to say that to Haitians in the 80s and early 90s especially here in New York.

Yeah Haitians used to get straight shytted on in NY. That always confused the fukk out of me because I never had any problems with Haitians growing up. As I got older I realized it was mostly because of the Haitian revolution.

 

[↓R↑LYB]

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

 

[↓R↑LYB]

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

In NY dudes were saying it way before that movie. Can't speak on anywhere else though

The AA's may not know the reason always behind the custom, but it was passed down nonetheless by the slaves.

Yep, when I learned about pouring out libations I was like

I was speaking in general. If you aren't African so what. Why are you worried about "some" black people calling "some" Africans booty scratchers?

Look at all the people who started crying like bytches when you discuss anti Blackness among Caribbeans and Africans actively engaging in a discussion about anti Blackness among African Americans.

you are dumb. Not all AA's said that stupid term. Just because it happened to you or you heard it being said doesn't mean every AA has.

 

[R=G]

There some dudes that use to be slick with those who were from Africa.those girls blossomed out with REAL slick ass hair and super bubble asses though.

 

[FemiO]

nobody said every single AA did it. the only thing every single AA has is a black parent.

but you emphatically tried to declare it as a fairy tale when you know nothing bout it
