for the record i celebrate juneteenth, lets just get that out the way
but, we were not american citizens when they freed us, we were released AFRICANS being sent into american society.
secondly, america dont love us, and america has shown over and over again they dont love us, you know what kind of spineless tap dancing fool you got to be to say im going to disregard africa on the principle of "they dont love us" but you waving a american flag a nation that literally has demonstrated some racist way to kill a black person just because they are black every day since we go off the dam boats? the laws here are not for you, the billions are spent to criminalize you and incarcerate you, but you will waive a american flag and say american, but because you "heard" from some social media fool that africans dont love us, or because you lay some standard of what a relationship should be with the african continent, that you wont hold that same standard with america, the country you currently reside, you will still keep the american part?!?!
i just dont understand the thinking of you social media folks, im not cut from that cloth.
our ancestors we not all slavesWe were Americans released into a racist ass White Supremacist American Society. Even our ancestors would have told you they were American.
Again,
Literally none of that has anything to do with my post

our ancestors we not all slaves
our ancestors were proud africans, until the negro conventions
evidence by:
the free african society
the free african union society
the african masonic lodge
the african dorcas society
the free african schools
the african methodist episcopal church
the african baptist church
and about another 100 i can name that celebrated us being african.
your literally trying to stake pride in a nation that has mistreated us and subjected us to 2nd and 3rd class citizenship , at the same time saying drop africa because you "heard" they look down on you. that is the biggest slave minded mentally abused Stockholm based position i have ever witnessed. our ancestors were not ducking and hiding to celebrating being no dam american. our ancestors were being persecuted for continuing african customs and culture. some social media activist who have little to no understanding of our history dont get to go back in time and rewrite our ancestors experience, they were beaten for playing african drums, they were punished for speaking african names and languages., they didnt get punished for speaking english and saying they were american. our ancestors were sneaking and passing down african culture, lynched for being caught praticing african customs. so stop the bullshyt
then say your the descendants of africans, not no dam shameful shyt like being a dam slave. you all rather keep the demeaning title of slave, in which again, our ancestors fought heavily against that term, but dismiss , again the culture and customs they fought and bled to maintain, while white society was working to beat that part out of them.Our ancestors were Africans and their descendants were not.
Yeah, the were enslaved. They also were proud people - black people - Black Americans.
Many of our ancestors fought to free themselves and their familes/people. Cloacked in the American flag - and as Americans. USCT.
Yeah, I am because it is my country, its our ancestors country - again they said it too. They were proud Amercians.
Why are you in a Juneteeth thread if you don't believe that? They were celebrating that as well.
Free African Society? Where sir?
African meant Black/ADOS. They recognized they were sold from Africa. They honored that. And what else would they have called themselves?
Read some narratives, speak to black ADOS and white slavery/black history scholars.
This whole they were Africans and about Africa - is false. Most were descendants at emancipation. I'm sorry - its true.
Most were 2nd-3rd generations American in the early-mid 1800's.. Their great or 2nd great were Africans.
They loved them, they honor them - but they were not them.
Respect that.
This ain't the thread.

you seriously need to pick up some slave narratives and learn what happened to our ancestors. you clearly have no clue. how you gong to be descendants of a people and not be them, then turn around hoping to get recompense from what those descendants endured all while dismissing their heritage?

you want to talk respect but disregard that these mutual aid societies, black churches, served as the aid and means to unify and galvanize organize, which helped us get to freedom. and this was present among us over 200 years.

keep pushing my buttons, i will begin to post the slave narratives. let the ancestors tell you themselves where they came from, and who they were proud to be. you proudly adorn the dam flag of our oppressor while shunning the flag, the societies and organizations that fought tooth and nail to get us freedom in this country. you negros have become pitiful no backbone no fight. poster above talking about blood in the soil, yea, cause the european dedicated a ton of time spilling it. you all cuddle up to them though. dam shame smh
you or none of you clueless spineless new age activist are in any authority to go back and dictate to our ancestors who they were. we are american citizens, but we are an african race. you clowns will not continue to disrespect my ancestors. lets make something clear "we didnt build shyt!! THEY built it, and we sit today pissing on their legacy because we want to be some bootlicking cowardly american who will dismiss the continued mistreatment of us in this country and rock they flag on principle but disregard what we built to instill pride culture and education to our people.You aren't dropping knowledge on me.
I'm good. They were Americans.
Oh drop em. And I'll drop some too.
We don't fight? Seriously?
I'm not going to disrespect my fellow ADOS(lavery) and our ancestors in this thread or today.
Take care
