How did African Americans become the "coolest" race in the world?

[Athenna]

Race is strictly social and an American concept. Before America black was just a color.

Hum.. How does that explain that American is a race exactly ?
Also I'm sure that race has been a thing since slavery and in every country where there was slavery because to put slavery in place, Whites labeled us as an inferior race.

All that pan africanism shyt is fake and doesnt make sense

Race is strictly social and an American concept. Before America black was just a color.

Negro means black in Spanish and Portuguese and was used to describe the Africans all over the world

Race is a European concept

You cant prove me wrong

I think it's largely due to the fact that we are at the forefront in a lot of entertainment platforms ie television, movies, music, sports etc... and adding that white people are boring, got no swag per say makes it easier.

Lol no. The entertainment industry besides sports is dominated by Caucasians and Europeans breh

 

[Kilgore Trout]

we gotta stop celebrating minor victories

 

[How Sway?]

Lol no. The entertainment industry besides sports is dominated by Caucasians and Europeans breh

black-Americans are disproportionately represented in entertainment

 

[Poitier]

the only people coming in here talking about "we shouldn't celebrate being cool" are not AA but in fact Islanders

 

[K.O.N.Y]

Yeah because how do u know where ur roots really come fromTo automatically think since your AA that ur ancestry was in Ghana is

west africa equals ghana now

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

west africa equals ghana now

I was giving an example

 

[SheWantTheD]

Lol no. The entertainment industry besides sports is dominated by Caucasians and Europeans breh

Football, Bsketball, Soccer etc are dominated by non-europeans.

Race is a byproduct of American slavery not the other way around

Negro means black in Spanish and Portuguese and was used to describe the Africans all over the world

Race is a European concept

They were strictly talking skin color then.

I literally said besides sports in my post

 

[K.O.N.Y]

I literally said besides sports in my post

like other dude said. We are over represented in those fields

Samething with sports even when looked at through a global scale. AA's took home more gold medals than the u.k,china and basically every other country in the olympics

 

[Shazeer Fitzgerald]

Yall be on they dikk " fukk them East Africans our roots are in West Africa"

So most desendants of The Diaspora aren't West Africans even tho The Diaspora was made up of mostly West Africans?

Spoiler

yeah go ahead and sit this one out bruh

 

[NYC Warrior]

yo until we start building up an economy and stop getting exploited by other races and controlling shyt, "cool" don't mean shyt. We ain't got nothing to show for it. Swag ain't paying the fukking bills and keeping the devils boot off our necks.

We are the only group of black people that went through legit survival of the fittest. Most of our weak traits have been eliminated due to slavery.. curse was a gift in some ways
