Is French Montana Black?

[Fandroid]

If DJ Envy is black then so is French

This is some stupid level of reach.

No they're not. Africans aren't black. I've had Ethiopians, Eritreans, Nigerians, and Kenyans explain to me that they're not black. They're African.

I work with these Africans from Africa everyday. The ones I know do not identify as black they identify as African. Sorry to burst your black bubble.

We're all ethnically African but black is a cultural thing. It's also some white man bullshyt, but that's another thread. Word to @BocaRear

Stop hanging out around bozos. Being black is not something you choose to adopt and drop whenever you feel like. All those you've mentioned are black there is nothing like "identifying" as black.

You sound just as stupid as all those imaginary Africans u know

Being African American is a cultural thing... And by AA I mean having one or both parents who are descendants of slaves

But whether you're African, AA or West Indian ..we're all Black

You sound like a cac with your nonsense

Gtfoh

Alright man. I respect your opinion.

French Montana never once said he was black. His son, mother, BM are black. Not him.

Right. Folks trying to claim someone who doesn't even claim them.

Traditionally it's people of Sub-Sahara descent.



No no no, clearly Steph Curry is a Morroccan Berber.

What about the native Moroccans with dark skin and afro hair that were there before the Arabs and europeans? They are indegenious to that land.

Morrocans are predominantly berbers and the berbers are "black" by American standards (in regards to the one drop rule) but they're really a mixed group of people.
They're not "caucasian" like the Gulf Arabs are but they aren't "black" like the textbook definition of "black".
That's why we have to understand that when we're discussing the concept of "blackness" in regards to Africa, you see it's purely a European invention and you really start to understand that race is a horseshyt social construct



That being said there is no justification for the "nappy poetic justice braids" comment even if Morrocans are "black" that's clearly colourism.

How are Gulf Arabs “Caucasian”? You are trying to argue one thing, while engaging in it in the same post.

I agree with most of this, though I think it's important to allow people to self identify, especially black people.

I identify as black but if another African victim of white supremacy doesn't I respect it.

what does that have to do with French Montana?

 

[ATearInMyEye]

The amount of ingnance in this thread is astonishing.

 

[timeless]

Nah he shouldn't have gone there. He sounded like a real McAzzhole with that comment.

Is he Black? I look at it like this: You could be Black all day, but if you aren't for uplifting your own Black people, I don't consider you as one of us. A lot of y'all forget that we have folks here in America who are visually Black with the mindset of racists wytes. Some call them c00ns, or bedwenches. Y'all can throw French in with them. I can accept that he has African roots, but I won't accept that bullshyt mentality, whether he has a Black son or not.

And no, this doesn't extend to wytes. You will always be wyte, whether you're a racist or another Rachel appropriator.

If we are going by race we have to understand that not everyone who identifies the same way will share a similar mentality. Your character in relation to your roots is how you weed out the agents, the back stabbers, the "I'm black so I can say xyz without backlash", the ones who dgaf about our unification, our battles, our wins, or our losses. These Black people exists, but they do not exist in the Black world.

They chose their bed, they can sleep in it.

 

[MoroccanBoy]

what does that have to do with French Montana?

Nothing but didn't you just say black people are only the sub saharan Africans?
