Africans accuse African Americans of "appropriating" their culture (legitimate criticism?)

[Poitier]

What do you think happens in the Africa you dont go to? Cacs move there, then setup shop, then make it their mission to convince every African there that AA are devils who are actually ruining the image of blacks in Africa. Cacs tell them AA are ultra violent and hate Africans more than anyone else. Cacs will tell Africans that AA are generally disgusted by Africa and return to the motherland because they actually hate all things African. When Africans come to america they already have their gaurd up, based on what they have been taught...Meanwhile, in America a the same Cacs are convincing you nikkas that the whole continent of africa is poor and dirty. Cacs letting you know that Africans in africa all hate you and dont want to be associated to you at all, so some of yall have your guard up because of it. Africans and AAs both the same pawns in a game of deception and oppression.

Except their are AA expats all over Africa

Umm maybe because nobody in today's day and age identifies house music as being an AA thing...Just do a quick google such of top house music DJs in the world at tell me what the average person looks like..

Im sure they know because they're doing Deep House music which is the most Soulful version of House music. Deep house has never been associated with white people.

Apparently our culture is only prominent and ok to steal because we live in America. Its okay for Lupita to play an African American slave and a Nigerian to play MLK but we can't wear traditional African garb





And if simply living in America makes your culture visible then why isn't Asian, Arab and Hispanic American culture the dominant culture for those races

You lost for investing thought into that bird brains rantings. You have a deeper seeded hatred that you constantly out on display here for Africans. Just like a racist who looks for anecdotal evidence to support their hate.

African Americans have always teased each other about where someone is from. It is usually light hearted unless takes it all serious.

I understand that,she doesn't .She gets hella defensive. Might be because she's female though .

 

[Poitier]

You're the one listing a bunch of shyt that Africans are so called misappropriating .... I read them very clearly "breh"

Confirmed idiot

 

[Made Myself A Boss]

Seems like you don't know what culture is

- Says the person who listed house music as AA culture

 

[scarlxrd]

Most AAs dont take anything from any African culture. I see more AAs dressed like they from Mortal Kombat than Africa

I'm saying

 

[World'sFinest]

Not 100% sure.I'm going ask her again (she's going to be pissed bc shes told me 1000 times )

I do know that they're Xhosa though.

Why did u assume Durban though?

Oh then they may be from the Eastern Cape. I'm from Durban, thought I'd take a shot.

Reggae isn't Black Jamaican culture - poitier


See we can both be idiots

 

[Un-AmericanDreamer]

Whose culture are we suppose to claim then

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Well glad to see you got a crystal ball swami. What the fukk do you know about my life? I see you're getting in all your feelings right now. Overall, I haven't had bad experiences with the police. So nice attempt. By the way, get the sand out your p*ssy bytch.

Fakkit wanna speak on my life's interactions with the police.

nigaa shut your dumbass up. you went on this long diatribe about how you feel Africans are somehow shytting on AAs, but i'm the one in my feelings.

Continue to hate on other FELLOW AFRICANS and lets see how far it gets you.

You and the clown ass OP can jump of the golden gate bridge arm in arm with your your white girlfriends fakkits

People like you who want to treat Black people as one monolithic culture do more harm than good.

It needs to be. Everyone knows black people are not monolithic, but for the sake of demonizing ALL black people we have become temporarly monolithic. We dont control our negative perception. Perceptions are external, not internal, so you distancing yourself from an African or an african distancing himself from a AA doesnt mean shyte when you dont control how you are percevied. If an African commits an evil crime Cacs will be calling it typical black behavior and the same will be true if a AA commits a crime somewhere.

Would love it if blacks were monolithic, maybe then we would be able to hold on to and monotize our cultural experiences properlly. Instead, every time I travel somewhere else, and seek out culturally African or culturally AA places of business, its always owned by a white person. Black people are unique and different in the eyes of Cacs when there is money to be made off our differences, but when its time to run negative propoganda on all black people, we become monolithic in their eyes again.

It's not hating to call something out. Being silent about it is called being a coward. Long diatribe? Gotcha. All I mentioned was that we've gotten down.

I call out bullshyt where I see it. Being Black/African doesn't give you mystical immunity (maybe with you, but not me). I guess you got mad, because you're one of those fukk boys. Hit dogs always holler as they say.

Now it's white girlfriends....you're too much. This motherfukka doesn't bleed once a month, he bleeds twice.

You can respect each others cultures and unify


Since we a monolith, when was the last time you ate sadza? Tell me about the Biafran War?

I know who Frankie Knuckles is.. But today in 2015 house music is NOT AA culture as they are NOT the majority of the names doing it.

Anyone with half a brain knows the biggest djs in the world are Diplo, Daivd Guetta and people like that ..

AA invented rock and roll, too, so I guess you think it's AA culture as well..

Dont let @Poitier diseased mind poisons yours bredda

O.K., you were sounding uninformed before; but now you are just sounding flat out dumb.

House music used to be played in the basements parties of Black people in Chicago back in the 1970's and 1980's, before guys like Knuckles and others put it on the radio. It is literally an underground music created by African Americans. The fact that White people steal Black people culture and then sell it is irrelevant. The music was created by Black people, just like Country, Blues, Jazz, R&B, Rock and Roll, Pop, etc.

Btw, just because people don't know where music comes from doesn't mean that it didn't come from a place.
