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

[AFRAM GLORY]

And by saying Whites stole AA culture, you are proving my point. Who has a better case in 2015 to cry about appropriation yet you'd be hard pressed to find an AA mad about another group of Black people coopting our culture which is fine but it has to be reciprocated.

I take it as a compliment that globally people vibe with my culture, so much so that they want to claim it. Thats Ancient Egyptian type shyt.

You got picked on when you were 15 for your culture and resent us? Well you sold us to the devil who stripped us of anything........who has a better case for dumb resentment?

 

[Raptor]

yeah, see thats what irk me. I wonder if these chicks on twitter were to bytch and moan if some white chick were to wear African Garb (maybe, who knows.)

Its wild/disturbing how there are people in Some parts of Africa right now who have benefited, and in some ways are still benefiting b/c of their Ancestors who traded slaves.

Alot of slavery based societies went broke after Britain outlawed slavery. Many African countrues were overdependant on slave labour and slave exports for economic activity and failed to industrialise and modernise. Thats why alot Islamic African countries such as Somalia and Niger, who were once quite prosperous during the 17th century went through severe economic and civil decline during the 20th century. The slave economy failed as the industrial age took off in Europe . Thats the source of so much of Africa economic woes. West African empires especially, as some kingdoms sole exports were slaves to the New World and Islamic caliphates and many kingdoms became so rich that they started waging wars on weaker kingdoms such as the igbo for the sole purpose of capturing slaves. Thats why many African Americans can trace their ancestry to the igbo people of nigeria

1st off I never said people of the diaspora are Israelites did I? I never met a black israelite in my life. We, the people of the diaspora are Jews by blood, the negus you black devils love to hate. We escaped invasion and settled in muslim dominated areas of west africa, thats a fukking fact. Why you think they were so quick to kick our asses out?

And why lie and tell us we're from north yemen you hamite black devil, you know the truth cheese eyes.

This individual perfectly demonstrates just what living under white supremacy in America has done to you black Americans...

What the fukk is the difference between an "Israelite" and a "Jew" you royal ignoramus?

Is·ra·el·ite
(ĭz′rē-ə-līt′)
n.
1. A native or inhabitant of the ancient Northern Kingdom of Israel.
2. A descendant of Jacob; a Jew.
3. A member of a people regarded as the chosen people of God.
4. A Jew not descended from the tribe of Levi and not a priest.

You North Yemen "Jews" were NEVER enslaved by any Africans. Not in West African and certainly not in Egypt so what the fukk are you talking about?

And again, you're going to have watch this video before you start spreading those lies about transatlantic slavery:


The African slave traders sold "prisoners of wars" not North Yemen descended "Jews" or whatever nonsense you're trying to push as a true so that you can feel about yourself.

I understand white people have literally made black people their bytches for the past 400 years but that doesn't mean you have to adopt conspiracy theories as facts so that it can make you feel better about your ancestors.

 

[Premeditated]

Stop it breh.

It is

Go to an African party even here in the diaspora, they'd most likely play dancehall and reggae before rap. African and Caribbean artist collab all the time.

 

[DillaTUDE]

So you essentially concede that they arent doing anything right?

Just like you African-Americans

I want you and everyone else in this thread with the same "anti-African" stance that you have to attack CACs with the same vitriol that you've attacked African immigrants in this thread... but we know that won't happen because if it doesn't consist of harming other black people then... we know the rest

 

[Isaiah Bradley]

Not all African feel this way, but more importantly, don't expect all Africans or all of race/culture to feel a specific way about something
Especially when it comes to identity/culture because there are usually other underline motivations in their views that they are aware/unaware of

Nah don't switch it up, you refered to me as an hebrew israelite cheese eyes.

And you're still faking the funk spreading misinformation black devil.

It all has AA DNA dripping in it so the point stands.

Does @IllmaticDelta need to teach you AA influence on Island music?

and it's not AA culture either

I'm sure if somebody does some research they would find blues to have African influence. But it's not African culture.

Why won't you Africans lead the way since you're superior, your numbers are bigger and you have more resources than us measly "AAs

 

[Poitier]

I'm sure if somebody does some research they would find blues to have African influence. But it's not African culture.

AA musics influence on Island music is less ambiguous than African influence on the Blues. Any reggae legend will state AA influence explicitly.

theres no such thing as a singular monolithic African musical culture where music traditions and scalars/beats are the same around the African continent. Be more specific. Sudanese music doesnt sound like Yoruba music which doesnt sound like Amharic music etc.

Alright I was done with this thread until I saw this equally dumb shyt. What exactly do you know about the history of this Country? How the fukk do you think that Africans could even get into this Country if it were not for African Americans? Do you even know why Apartheid ended in South Africa?

See this is the shyt that bothers me about a lot of Africans. They are always talking shyt, but they never know anything about the role that African Americans have not only played in the USA but even in a place like South Africa; which has benefitted Black people.

Do you know who this guy is? You should, because it was his push to impose USA sanctions against South Africa that helped to end Apartheid.

Why won't you Africans lead the way since you're superior, your numbers are bigger and you have more resources than us measly "AAs

So in other words... "I'll talk shyt about Africans on the internet all day and in some instances even physically attack them as some us Hebrew Israelites are noted for doing, despite knowing that the only reason that they harbour the feelings that they do towards African-Americans is due white supremacy... but when the time comes for me to fight white supremacy, I'll do nothing but march in the streets naked while screaming #BlackLivesMatter because I wouldn't want to get TOO aggressive with the white man now..."

Don't worry... Africans in the UK literally shut down the global economic hub in London during 2011 London Riots when the police murdered an unarmed black man and had white people FEARING for their lives. THAT WARRIOR SPIRIT HAS NEVER AND WILL NEVER LEAVE US. I'm just waiting for you African-Americans to stop attacking people that look just like you and aren't oppressing and go after the people who actually wield the power to oppress you?

But I get it... it's much easier to sit on your computer all day and complain about Africans immigrants on the internet, amirite?

 

[Kane]

Of course they fukking choose to live in those countries as colonialism ruptured the entire fukking continent you nutcase. The impact the Berlin Conference has had on the continent can NEVER be understated.

And yeah, they "CHOOSE to live in those countries" like you CHOOSE to live in America. It's 2015, it's not that hard to receive a passport and get the hell out of America if you find living in a predominately white society too tough, you know?

And of course African immigrants are "naive to the racism" in America because of white supremacy as black Americans are "naive to the racism" that continental Africans have had to endure since we came into contact with white people. Your ignorance provides no better proof of this.

Aframs living in America is not the same as Africans doing so. America is literally all we have. We've been here for CENTURIES. We don't have a country to go back to.

We didn't choose to come here like yall did.

Even if we wanted to, how many Aframs do you think have the resources to move to a new continent? And more importantly, how do you think Africans would react to a huge influx of African Americans going over there? You're oversimplifying this.

EDIT: And LMAO at "but at least Mexicans aren't naive about white racism and have MUTUAL understanding with AA's when it comes to racism in America.". anybody who dapped this is an idiot....

He sounds like a Hebrew Israelite who thinks AAs, mexicans and other latinos and Native Americans are Isrealites and part of the same struggle but not Africans. lol
