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

black love, unity, and music
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. :russ:
nikka, what has your dumbass done to improve the relationship between Africans and AA's? White supremacy has turned your brain to soup and its obvious as shyt. Newsflash, there are c00ns all over the globe, thanks to the global effects of white supremacy. Instead of focusing on other self hating Africans like yourself, why don't you focus on those Africans trying to build? (that is assuming your looking to build something).

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.

Not only that, but those White Peace Corps workers and missionaries in Africa are not doing Africans any favors. Africans see those White people and they think that those people are great. The Africans don't realize that those people will try to keep them down in America.

Tupac and other people of the hip hop culture tour around the world to spread and share their culture with others

So try and cry and complain now that people are stealing and mis appropriating it now is utter nonsense but very typical of AA such as


Because we know that as Jamaicans tour the world people are going to NATURALLY embrace what the musicians have to share

All true but Afram music is the most influential and appropriated music of the 20th/21th centuries and we have no prob with others doing and enjoying the music but RESPECT THE ROOTS







I doubt any Aframs were complaining when Africans were widespread jacking from them in 1970's

.....so why would/should an African make a big deal about a small amount of Aframs who wear african clothing?

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.


Im flat out dumb?

Ok answer me this, yes or no..

It's July 2015 right? Is Rock and Roll the music of AA people?

Yes it is, because it was created by Black people. Btw, White people know that and that is why groups like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones used to go to the Checker Board lounge in Chicago to hear Blues men play. That is why Black artist like Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, BB King, Freddie King are still talked about in Rock and Roll circles and are very much revered. So it was the White artist who tried to take Rock and Roll back to it's Blues roots.

You can respect each others cultures and unify:snoop:


Since we a monolith, when was the last time you ate sadza? Tell me about the Biafran War? :mjpls:
Never had Sadza before, but ive damn sure had a cornmealie dumpling before. Blacks all over the world share a similar experience and influence each others food and dress. You nikkas quick to say another person that looks like you is biting your swag, but you let cacs take over your cultural identities and tell yall what's cool or what's really AA/African and what's not popping in your own damn culture. Nevermind the money they banking off the shyte you create--that is influenced by each other.

Hey jackass...when did I ever say it was all Africans? I can see you enjoy making shyt up as you go along to further your argument because you don't have a leg to stand on. White supremacy? Coming from the fakkit laughing at Black people being accosted by police? That's mighty white of you. Guess you got a laugh from Sandra Bland too also bytch?

You outted yourself off top bytch. If you have that much of a problem then be the bytch you are an put me on ignore...simple. Personally I enjoy seeing the depths of stupidity (I'm certain you've got more levels to go). I really do...it's actually quite entertaining. Keep making up shyt, pretending I said it, then argue the point. :mjlol:
