Just the shape of his face lets me know he's a c00n. He has that shyt etched into his DNA.
you can't compare "rooted" culture (african influenced patois) to contemporary influences like modern music that are from outside of your culture
That's the birthplace of white nationalism and white imperialism.
The responses in this thread from non African Americans are SO typical. You piggyback on our struggle, (like everyone else) feast on our culture, emulate us, post on forums dedicated to our art... all while you patronize, insult & turn up your collective noses at us. All things considered, the story of African Americans is one for the books & unparalleled in the diaspora.
I try my best not to dismiss all of you but in my eyes you're culturally European and your culture is very different than mine. I feel like Africans that aren't raised in America view American Africans as inferior to them. I think non Americans are quick to blame me for what the US government does. I have little to no influence over the feds and other people.That wasn't just directed at one person. It's really for ignorant fools who think they know everything about us through a few videos they watch online.
Who came in this thread with the insults? So if we get insulted because a bunch of emotional fools that insult a whole group because of one idiotic comedian, we're not supposed to respond? Many of you are the ones who are quick to insult us for no reason, but expect us not to say anything in defense. Tough shyt.
You say we "post on your forums". And? There was a (now defunct) large black british forum some years back that had a large number of AAs, plus some british Facebook group now have a lot of AA members. So what?
Who is "piggybacking" off anything? We're black people going through the struggle just like anywhere else in the diaspora. We're not the latinos/asians/jews etc who exploit or take advantage of you.They're the ones you need to be mad at, not us.
Turn our noses up in what way?
Come out your feelings. I swear muthafukkers are so emotional.

Naw. I'm not making assumptions. I've been around enough English and non US American people in America to say my opinion is fair and firmly rooted in the truth. We don't even speak the same language as far as I'm concerned. If I spoke to you as I speak to my friends in America I find it hard to believe you'd be able to follow me. The differences in our spoken languages alone makes it hard for me to see us sharing anything other than our ethnic background.What you think of us is your business. You're making a whole bunch of assumptions which is erroneous at best.
Who have you heard blaming AAs for the government? Cos it damn sure isn't black people.
Throughout my whole life I've never once heard black folks blame AAs for what the racist AmeriKKKan government does. That's like folks blaming us for the atrocities and colonisation and what the wicked Royal family with that old ugly grey haired reptilian bytch sitting on the throne does to non whites around the globe.....or like blaming Aborigines in Australia for what their government does. It doesn't make sense. That has fukk all to do with us.
what makes you think that?
most black british people have BLACK CULTURE
can trace there roots back to africa, and even the exact tribe
dont eat slave food like soul food,
and dont bow down to the white mans teachings like alot of AA's

Don't play dumb. You know as well as I do Americans are percieved as lazy and fat. Or we start all the wars. I'm not fat. I'm not lazy. And I don't even own a gun. The only president I ever voted for was a black woman.
For the record AA's, the ones who invented and powered the civil rights movement, which expanded around the world don't feel any connection to the English because you don't reach out. Same goes for the rest of the non AA African groups. If you don't want people to assume you're a cracker make it clear you're not. Lol its pretty simple. I know AA's reach out. Let's not forget about the multiple Back To Africa movements in the US.
What I think of you is your business because it involves you. Especially if you want any kind of solidarity between us as a people. You can ignore what I think and dismiss it as my opinion. That would be a mistake my man because I assure you I'm not the only AA who feels this way. As far am I'm concerned black people only exist in the America until I see receipts about what these non American Africans are doing to fight racism.
In the states we're getting gunned down everyday. Choked out everyday. Teenage girls beaten and killed in police custody. Black girls are allowed to drown in some shyt hole swamp because they were raised without shyt and were about that action. We have black people condemning teenage girls to life sentences in prison or the electric chair. I read a lot of news and I never read about the English doing anything to show they support me.
Where is your Tupac? Where is Malcolm X? Where is your Martin? Where is your Mumia? If our struggles are the same why are the leaders and face of AA empowerment everywhere African Americans?
I'm curious how you'll spin this. Give it your best go.
