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

[DabbinSauce]

But let them tell it we are just jealous because they are superior and we want their spot lol (a spot given to them by White Americans)

You are jealous and obsessed with us. I mean you're free to leave this place and go to nairaland or whatever other bullshyt west african culture dominated website, mr. "emoney"

Your name sure does sound indigenous to africa doesn't ityou people worship us

Good point! A lot Black "Firsts" were not accomplished by actual Black people at all...usually mulattos. Even today, their first Black President (Barack Obama) came out of a white vagina and his father was stereotypical dead beat daddy

Who is an africanto say what is "black" in America

 

[emoney]

Igbo are often lighter than Sudanic West Africans because they're semi-bantu not because they have admx.

West Africans that descend from the Sudan region are darker than West Africans who descend from Bantu populations in the Congo region

Why would you even want your culture to be commodity? like African-American has been reduced to. Culture should be intimate and shared by those with lineage to it's origin, not universal for any and everyone to partake in.

Aframs have our root culture and our global culture. Our root culture didn't go anywhere.

Yes it does mean jack , because their phenotype are unique when it comes to the vast majoirty of west africa

Your right, the Fulani are phenotypically atypical to West Africa and it has to do with their Berber admixture.

The reason they are so numerous across the region is because they are nomadic pastoralist. They don't really originate in any of the countries they are currently located in.

They were/are black. Aframs are AfroEuropean by default.

Kiiiindaaa true ya'll. Some folks in this thread talking bad about Africans and Black foreigners, will be on some other thread about women of the African Diaspora in other countries(Nigeria, Brazil, Jamaica) talking about wifing them, and such. But I think no one is above reproach. MOST people in this thread who are being critical of Africans, actually respect Black foreigners, but feel they haven't been given that respect in turn. And you're right, there are plenty of AA's who are c00ns themselves. Hey, it goes both ways.

who believe Continental Africans shouldn't post opinions on about Black American issues often times are discussing Africa and Africans on here (this thread is a perfect example). Blatant Hypocrisy

Jamaican nikkas think they created Hip Hop though let them tell it

Like the shyt ain't a continuation of older African American genres

Hip-Hop in New York was a fusion of African-American and West Indian influences. AAs can't take sole credit imo

Rap music descends from older forms of African American music, it has jack shyt to do with west indians or reggae, west indians had no influence over the actual music, African American music is what influenced them
