I had my suspicious about BLM since they started, but I finally knew what they were about when they shown to people that they are nothing but Hilary's attack dogs.
Does the African/Islander/Afro-Latino voice matter in #BlackLivesMatter?

The issue at hand is people do not understand the concept of being "Black".
A Jamaican will say "I`m not black mon I`m Jamaican"
An AA will tell an African "you aint black bruh you African"
etc.
Although the concept of Black is from White Supremacy, it pretty much has assigned us to being on the same team, and right now BLACKS globally are losing 0 to 500 and counting to White Supremacy.
Anyone at this point who does not see this is a fool.
That said, being that we as Blacks are a TEAM, we must then understand our roles on the team. A PG shouldn't play Center and a SG shouldn't play PF. We must look at the strengths of each one of us and play to them.
I think it's cause when you don't live in the United States and you come as an immigrant you don't understand that your nationality doesn't matter as much as being "black". To be honest, I've only known Cubans to say they're black, and then say they're Afro-Cuban, they even hesitate just calling themselves "Cuban" because the wiping away/erasure of their identity made them clued in with regard to blackness. A lot of black immigrants are just clueless and I don't necessarily think that's their fault. When you are inspected by immigration upon your arrival here it's not like they give you a guideline and be like, here's what you are now, you're no longer Brazilian or Nigerian.

Here is my rant in my experience.
Honestly a lot of Black Caribbeans and Africans are not down with us. i noticed this growing up since H.S. where there were more Black carribeans than Black Americans in my school. I had more non-Black friends as a result of that.
So I think it's hilarious when a nikka will say how come you got more non-Black friends than Black. Cause we not united as one.
At the end of the day I know CACs, Chinese and Korean that would let me sleep on their couch if I said I was homeless and need time to get myself together. (Hypothetically if I had no family alive)
I know more people of other races who accept me for who I am as an individual and have a stronger friendship than a lot of Black folk whether American or otherwise.
But specifically Africans and Carribeans - A lot of them even when you over at a "friend" house they consider themselves a different species just the way they talk about "us" and "them" and this is referring to American Blacks (sons/daughters of slaves) vs. Non-American.
I met a dude in Spain, this Arab Moroccans that would jump in front of a bullet to save my life. He helped me adapt while I was there to the culture and deal with some of the racism while I was working there.
But Black French immigrants in Spain - They didn't want to have nothing to do with me. They called me a "pretty boy" and "sheltered American" despite them owning more expensive clothes than me and probably making more money than me as well.
Full blooded Spaniards as racist as some of them can be - Some of them showed more concern for me when I was dealing with this psycho chick than any Black African.
I don't know the real reason but Colonialism probably got something to do with it.
The White Man doesn't just want Black Americans to be divided - He wants to keep Blacks feuding with each other and ESPECIALLY make sure that foreign Blacks NEVER unite with Black Americans.
We would become too dangerous to their existence.

Doesn't matter if you're African, or West Indian--when you come to America you're Black in the eyes of the law.
All these made up identities to keep us separated and confused, all that matters is the melanin. That's what's real.
Cacs from all over Europe came here and said "ok I get that I'm Irish, you're Italian, and he's polish but we gotta work together to get all these ******s under control."
It's only Black vs white, I don't care about your nationality. You're my brother, you're my sister, we just different culturally not different racially.

I'm just not on the same page as them, and quite frankly they're dangerous.

I agree no politician is a saint, but compared to the others Bernie easily has the best interest for blacks.

Gonna try to revive the section

BLM is a nonconstructive movement so i doubt they'll do anything for the brothers outside the us. They ain't doing shyt for the brothers here.
