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

I dont know why people run from or off the topic of Africans trying to look down on New World Blacks especially African-Americans. This is a subject that everyone seems afraid talk about, but instead try to stick their heads in the sand.

I don't see anything @Poitier or anyone else said wrong. The fact is Africans, especially first gen immigrants have a very eurocentric viewpoint of AA's. They are naive and ignorant about AA's. They don't know what its like to live under a dominate culture and see AA's addressing white supremacy as us being "whiners" or "lazy".

People may bash Hispanics specifically Mexicans(I'll admit I have too), but at least Mexicans aren't naive about white racism and have MUTUAL understanding with AA's when it comes to racism in America. Africans on the other hand think its a myth and AA's are crybabies and they even side with whites.

Some of the discussions I've seen with Africans talking about the Trayvon, Michael Brown and police brutality situations are all testament to that. I've also seen some Africans get very hateful with AA's who have a big interest in their African heritage, those Africans telling those AA's that they are NOT African but American and for them to stick to American culture. This is why I've always been :yeshrug: since...

And yeah I don't give a damn if I offend anyone. This NEEDS to be addressed instead of us stuffing it in the closet...

You are truly pathetic, you know that right? :why:

Are you trying to insinuate that the same Africans in Congo who lost 20 million lives in the Congolese Holocaust by King Leopold II are "naive about white racism"?

Are you trying to insinuate that the same Africans in South African who had to endure apartheid that only ended TWENTY-YEARS ago are "naive about white racism"?

Are you trying to insinuate that the same Africans in Namibia who suffered the FIRST GENOCIDE OF THE 20th Century from 1904 - 1907 by way of Second Reich Germany in which over 100,000 Namibians lost their fukking lives "are naive about white racism"?

Are you trying to insinuate that the same Africans in Kenyan who lost thousands of lives and suffered inhumane treatment in the Kenyan Holocaust orchestrated by the British are "naive about white racism"? (Her Blueprint: The Global Fund for Women Blog: British Terror: The Kenyan Holocaust)

Are you trying to insinuate that the same Africans in Nigeria who were bombed to death in the Biafran War, which was the only time in which the USA, the USSR and the Arab world co-operated with each other during the Cold War, are "naive about white racism"?

Are you trying to insinuate that the same continental Africans who have been subject to biological warfare throughout the 20th and 21st century from CACs in the form of the introduction of AIDs and the Ebola virus are "naive about white racism"?

Are you trying to insinuate that the same continental Africans who have witnessed every single one of the great, black leaders from Steve Biko to Patrice Lumumba to Thomas Sankara get assassinated by the CIA/MI6/Europeans are "naive about white racism"?

I know a lot of you guys are inclusive and on that bullshyt "brown-and-black coalition", but please don't insinuate that some fukking Latinos know more about "white racism" than fukking continental Africans you royal ignoramus. You deserve to be fukking shot in your mouth for uttering such bullshyt you little prick. :wtf:

Yes, living in a White majority country breeds a special kind of racism that it takes Black immigrants time to grasp.

Read and learn:ehh:


Why are you pulling up stuff from the 50s?

I know AA invented Rock.. That's indisputable But to say its AA culture today is flat out wrong

DO you know what other practices a certain group of people used to do in the 50s that they no longer do now?

Who points to that as an example of today's standard


When the rock and roll industry is 97% white, how is this even debatable?

I can't speak for every region of Africa (West, Central for example), but having been to a few African countries, this is definitely the case in my experience. A couple of young (as in high school aged and younger) kids flippantly mention mainstream African American recording artists here and there, but that's about it. I didn't have a single conversation about black Americans in Africa ever. Jamaican music and local African shyt is more popular there and footballers are WAY more popular/talked about than NBA/NFL teams and players.
THIS THIS THIS

Reggae and other West Indian music are WAY more popular in Africa than AA music and even then, it doesn't come close to how much Africans worship their artist more.

Breh, just look at this video with Beyonce in Ethiopia


obviously they love her over there looking at the beginning. But look how hype they turn at around 1:20 when Teddy Afro(one of there own) comes on. They tear that shyt down and he wasn't even there.:bryan:
