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

And if they're going to abuse the term appropriation, why weren't they up in arms about Idris Elba playing a South African?
I picked up on that too

It's just jealousy dog, that's all it could be. Africans are jealous of AAs and sometimes that envy turn into hate.
AAs need to stop identifying as black, it is too inclusive and part of the reason why we have so many non-American blacks thinking they can speak on our culture and issues

Its because Aframs are the most influential historically and over time some people got salty about this and started throwing shade...

On some real shyt people writing articles like the "AAs are appropriate X" need to go away. Completely useless. They don't solve anything or try to fix shyt.
way bigger shyt to worry about and we have folks writing these articles of complaining about nonsense on Twitter, shyt is wild. They need to get a life or something.

They are idiots who represent no one but themselves. They don't speak for anybody. Unfortunately, social media is giving these fools a voice.
We don't have to stop identifying as Black but we have to a better job of documenting and teaching OUR culture when it happens so no one can come along 20 years later and claim we stole it

Peep the signature.
It's these idiot children on twitter and other forms of social media spewing words they have no understanding of. Cheikh Anta Diop (African), Frantz Fanon (Afro Caribbean), etc. would all be rolling their damn graves with this stupid petty ass shyt.
