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

[SAINT]

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

That's irrelevant to my argument. The og post I replied to said AA are on the forefront(keyword)of the entertainment industry. Which we all know to be false. shyt every year something comes up where black people are upset at Hollywood for not representing us properly.

Cuz they envy our culture and we create most things that becomes popular

And who wants to be some boring ass rich white person anyway
They're corny

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.

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


They were strictly talking skin color then.

In other words: You have no other argument.


So why were French slavemasters calling their slaves « Nègre » when « negro » in french is « noir » ?

I literally said besides sports in my post

nvm yeah you did lol

while i agree we need to take more ownership of our culture, what's wrong with acknowledging and celebrating the fact that we are in fact one of the coolest most influential people on the planet.

why does that make ya'll (who claim to be black) so mad?

Look at y'all, can't differentiate between race and nationality.... Bragging about swag and who is the better at entertaining white people

Almost all popular music traces their deep roots back to African-American communities in America. Not trying to be cocky, but hardly any group on Earth can beat that influence.

Most groups on Earth were either directly influenced by AA music(see British invasion of Rock who said they preferred AA music) or indirectly via America. And then you have people like Michael Jackson and Tupac. Yeah, that can not be beaten.

Yet certain posters can brag about the influence of reggae.

Nonsense. Different variations of "race" has existed since early classical times...
