fukk it, since we airing shyt out in here lemme say I hate how some people in the Caribbean bleach their skin, shyt is the ultimate sambo move. Not only do black features look terrible on white skin, but you literally tryna make yourself a cac.
And I hate how black folk to this day let outsiders not of their skin and struggle have majority control over their culture, the most important tool for mass programming in the hands of someone else...it's fukked up. I hope the next two generations bring more positive shyt and places like Chicago, Oakland, and Baltimore can be flourishing with a growing black middle class.
Black people from America are an amazing group imo and there's nobody on the planet like them, and the same can be said for all the other black nations on the Western Hemisphere as well as Africa and Asia. But a lot gotta be solved within all our own communities, so unity on a global scale won't happen tomorrow or next week but I think it's good to start now and discussions like this are helpful as fukk no matter how ignorant they get. But yall keep makin all these claims about how outside Africans don't like to claim black. But I'd say that has more to do with them acknowledging their nationality beyond being an American. Kinda like what some of yall doin now actually. If anything they doin yall a favor by claiming their difference right? Some on some racist shyt, but anyone in those communities that know the deal don't fukk with those types. They bootlickers more often than not.
So like I said from the start, I understand what the OP was tryna say. It's just that black is too broad a term because that's implying the skin tone and you ain't bout to tell Africans they ain't black. Yall can't deny that anyone that look black in this thread would be in chains in 16th century America. To me yall more than a color, yall are Africans on who's backs this country was built. Yall are Americans by the evidence of yall survival thru the centuries, yall style is American, yall a unique ass group, but at the end of the day, trace them roots and yall African. Deal with it.
