At some point won't African immigrants just become AA?

[J-Fire]

That's why i wrote your post was partly true!

BUT, I don't think by looking at the small things is good, we all still went through some foul shyt that has effected all of us to this day. My issue is with them acting like they dealt with these issues, and are better then us, then come up with fake shyt as excuses like we see on this forum. I agree we should deal with each other talking shyt, but as someone who seen small issues turn into real beef, I don't think we should start separating our history when it comes to slavery, and its impacts in every aspect of our lives. I know we have differences, but the base is the same. Trust me some white or nonblack racist is reading all of this, and will use it to have us play against each other, just for them to win!

A lot of them get on my nerves, but it's a line I won't cross because I know where it will lead. Africans be on some shyt, but when it comes to caribbeans, we have more in common then not. As AA we need to control our place in this country, but that doesn't mean to make them our main enemy. I notice that is where all of this back, and forth, is turning into on the internet. And what happens on the internet eventually goes to the real world, nowadays.

And i'm not arguing with you, you get nuff props from me, I just don't agree with going down that road as far as slavery, and our history, for the world to see. Devils are lurking! Maybe I'm reading into it wrong, but I have a feeling I know where this is going to lead.

It's about who is entitled to reparations from Redlining, Jim Crow, slavery.

Now mass incarceration requires reparations too....and non AA blacks got caught up...so that's tricky for me. But if ya non AA why come to USA unless y'all thought you wouldn't be treated like AA, lol!! I think mass incarceration is part of the risk foreigners take & they parents could have stayed in their country cause race trumps "class & hard work" in the USA.

oh...
I apologize I didn't mean it that way.

I was saying that how it relates to other black people that have migrated here. I am saying that they are African-American because they've adopted African American lifestyle and mindset and culture but they are technically not African American. I reserve the term African American (or as I always say black Americans) for the descendants of the enslaved Africans brought here during the slave trade

This post is what I mean by west indians just making up shyt to make themselves seem different, and better!

It seems like he is being cordial, but from his post throughout the years, he talks slick about AA. He just does it in a "nice" way. I seen his game a mile away. He likes to give the image that we are low class, and makes it seem like Africans, and Islanders, are so high class! He just doesn't outright say it, but you can clearly see he is talking down on us. Look at his last sentence:"I reserve the term African American (or as I always say black Americans) for the descendants of the enslaved Africans brought here during the slave trade"

Technically that is every black person in the western hemisphere! Also notice how he says he rather call us black americans, that's because he doesn't want us connected to Africa. He talks about how different we are, but his ass is just country! Notice how he keeps avoiding my question of where the women he dated are from? I asked him this because he has said they were easy, and basically sluts, while Haitian women were church going,a nd made him work for it. That's the same shyt these small town nikkas be talking!

Nah, read his future post with that in mind, and you will see his game.

He is one of those guys who tries to rock you to sleep with kindness.

This is all projecting

For some strange reason he thinks AAs and Caribbeans are the same ethnicity and all have the same culture.

People who use "Africaness" and "purity" as metrics of Blackness to try to downplay AAs are lames.

Those r usually the bytches and nikkas that have a white SO to
