you dumb as fck
Thread wasn't a reach. He said what he said. Later on he made an interesting point about using the pre fix of American. But he was very specific when it came to Black-Americans claiming of the motherland, and juxtaposed that to Black West Indians claiming of their nationalities over the claiming of their ancestry. Not realizing that many Blacks who do feel a kinship to Africans, do so because American born Blacks didn't really have a nation of their own like Haitians, Jamaicans, and other Black West Indians do.
And I say all of this as a Haitian myself. He's a funny guy, but we need not to play dumb. He tried to make a certain point, and it offended some AA's and for good reason.....
After I watched it ...it's his opinion ... he's wrong but fukk it and fukk him
we already had these discussions on here about how Africans disrespect the African diaspora
He came across cringe worthy and for good reason. They can call me a crybaby or whatever, but I saw your point and the point of this thread. I'm all about Black unification. I'm trying to bridge the gap. And it's tough....Thank You breh. You may not agree with me on some of my stuff, but you see what most folks saw with the disrespect........I don't think folks in the thread caught what he was doing, which is why they missing the point.

I see what you are saying. However I can't go as far and feel like he was disrespecting us, well I can only speak for myself. The bolded part probably is the most important. I see this more like a joke made out of ignorance to how blacks in america feel, not purposeful disrespect. I'd bet he buys into the notion that we have been here for so long, have built this country and we should own it just as much as anyone else. But what he doesn't realize is this country really don't give a shyt about us.Thank You breh.

There's plenty of Native Mexicans who still cling to the native ways over the more European-Spaniard mindset. There are even Mexican-Americans(Chicanos) who have a Native-Aztec pride mixed into their Mexican nationalistic pride. They're no different than AA's who are Afro-Centric. Some people just want to cling to their roots. Their undiluted, unfiltered roots. Why not let'em?
Good point. Good point. He wasn't purposefully being offensive, he just didn't own to the principles of White Supremacy. No matter how long AA's have been here, no matter how much AA's have contributed to the cultural development of this country, no matter if the president is Black/Mulatto, the face of America presently and historically will always be White. And the same can't be said about the nations in which these Black foreigners came from.
