niceI'm African-American (w/ African parents), but I see what you mean. There aren't too many Afro-Brazilians in Newark, unfortunately. I have a few homies in Ironbound, but they're white Brazilians from São Paulo and are chill. I feel like the majority of Brazilians in Newark are white Paulistas. I speak conversational Portuguese, but I'm aiming to gain full comprehension of the Carioca dialect. That explains my username.
Why would you search your name assuming everyone who talks about you is a fan? The people who @ mention you are more likely to be fans.Celebrities search their names all the time and favorite the tweets to interact with their fans without tweeting them. It's a good way to interact with your fan base without giving up real estate on your social medias.
It's a bad habit that some of our people have where they judge the whole gender based on some.No, just stop. How did she even manage to draw parallels between the two

You are confusing black men's lack of power with lack of protectionWell
1) she didnt @ him so I wonder how he even saw her
2) She has like 1,000 folowers so its not like anyone really saw her message
3) He gets shytted on all the time from people who DO @ him.
4) Why unleash on a irrelevant woman
5) he used a lot of derogatory remarks towards a black woman. "musty dusty"- denoting the CONSTANT global belief that black women are somehow always dirty."hoe" -doesnt even know the woman but makes assumptions about her sexual activity, "nappy braids"- the usual insult targeted towards black women to degrade our hair. Bill O reilly recently did that with Maxine Waters. And her braids were actually very neat so for him to call them nappy anyways....
and finally i am NOT suprised by black men's defense of him. Tis the reason I have fully disconnected with all BLM/black men related social justice movements. Until it impacts you its a non-factor, irrelevant, and exaggerated. And Im not surprised by black women's overwhelming response of being unsurprised by black men's lack of protection. Im on a few BW forums and recently the has been a huge awaken that we are on our own and black men are not interested in protecting or leading us.
Did anyone post a pic of the girl in question? this is her
There's nothing musty, dusty, hoeish, or nappy about her. So he said those things purely because she's black. Post her pic in a coli thread yall would be all . But you cant stand up for a though
Feministic logic is hilarious
The reason Black women wear weaves and wigs on top of damaged hair is because men call their natural hair nappy lol. Especially hilarious because feminist claim they don't care about "the male gaze" yet let the "male gaze" say something and all eyez on them.
Its not because we live in a system of White supremacy where White people deem afro-textured hair unprofessional, low quality and primitive and enforce anti-black policies in institutions and workplaces. Yeah, ok lol.
Every nikka on Earth could worship Black women's natural hair and you'd still have the majority of Black women adhering to "protective styles" because we don't put food on their tables, White men do. Like I said, weaklings turn trivial shyt like a French Montana tweet into WW3 to make it seem like they're actually building and being productive but when real issues need discussions then its hush and silence. Lapdog Black men use moments like these to put on a show, knowing damn well they're bums. Goofy ass nikkas.
Democratization of opinions breh. It's a real problem. Back in the 50's and 60's black Americans rallied behind clear-headed, far-sighted, intelligent leaders. Now every fool with a Twitter/IG/Facebook account can become a "community leader" or activist.
Another thing is, the system allows y'all to have these redundant discussions about "misogynoir", beauty ideals, identity politics etc because those are safe topics and they take the steam off of the anger of the black masses. Like you said, it makes the average person feel like he/she is part of something and being productive and keeps them distracted from fighting the bigger battles.
Being born in America doesn't make one African American..Boo. You'll live.
French said this about a black woman and is getting dragged in his mentions
Rappers come to his aid
His defense
For those that don't know French is from Morocco and grew up in the Bronx
His BM and kids are black
His first mixtape was called Live from Africa
Are Morrocans black ?
Can French say nikka ?
Will I get a plat thread?
Man, I don't even want to say the average Black person is on this foolishness.
My sister 17 with her natural hair down to her ass. If I call her right now and ask her about what French Montana said, she'd laugh, flame his ass and go on about her day. She 17 and her self-esteem isn't tied to a rappers tweet. A fukking teenager. And you got grown ass adults acting like French Montana just drafted up new Jim Crow laws and pushed it through congress....shyt is pathetic. Who raised these people? Especially these feminine lap dog nikkas that feed into this shyt.
Really? People look at me sideways when I tell them that I'm learning Portuguese and not Spanish. I find Portuguese to be easier on the ears. The cadence is poetic. Keep up with the language learning though. It's a great icebreaker and you'll impress people.nice
Couple brehs on here are learning Portuguese as well
I would like to learn as well but only after I get Spanish down
Let me guess Ghanaian parents?
