Ridiculous. I'm so sick of seeing people cater to all these weaklings complaining. Ridiculous.

- Thread starter concise
- Start date
Another idiot appears out the bushes.
You can't hate a group of people you don't interact with
You're a fan of
You're an admirer of from a distance.
Who don't know who the fukk you are.
Who don't care about kenya, and who don't come to canada like that.
We don't know you, fakkit.
Hence what I said c00ns to the bate.
You must think I support the outrage of something. Do y'all realize you are shadow boxing?
What are you trying to show me the definition of? If you didn't lack comprehension same as your crew you would have got the fact that I wasn't taking a pro outrage stance.

We all need to be more mindful and respectful of each other's cultures, lineages and history.
We also shouldn't shame (or get mad at) anyone for gatekeeping their beloved culture and history.
We all need to start to do so -- and be consistent about it. Especially, Native Black Americans (ADOS). So, I support my Caribbean brothers and sisters.
I also think Michael B. Jordan is dealing with some internalized self-hate of being ADOS. Or maybe it's a lack of family/cultural grounding via his parents and grandparents. I don't know - but I know something is very OFF with him.
He has said some comments in the past that showcase that he is not well-versed on our ADOS history and culture.
Basically, he may not see his own culture -- as worthy, exciting, exotic or interesting as other Black ethnicities/cultures.
He is from New Jersey - which is a mixture of many Black ethnicities and cultures --- then moved to "AllLivesMatter" California. So, he may need to reconnect to his ADOS roots and learn his family tree to feel more connected.

As someone from the Bronx and knows the historyhip hop culture was created by mostly Caribbean blacks in the Bronx
Articulate exactly what's culturally "Caribbean" about hip hop. I will wait
If they don’t like it - they can leave the country we fought for them to immigrate to
Go back to Trinidad, pick your accents back up, and talk shyt from there - leave every single thing you stole from ADOS while we stayed silent
Give us back all the scholarships, grants, and every other thing you benefitted from in this country fought for by us in the form of cultural reparations, while you’re at it.

straight cacish- "black people are the REAL racist- energyBingo!!! They’ve seen how African Americans have called out others for appropriation(and rightfully so) and now they’re trying to copy off of that energy by returning the favor. So they see a small slight error and they go ham.“See!! See!! You Black Americans appropriate other people too!!”-type energy.

Angostura: We have no business with J'Ouvert rum - Trinidad and Tobago Newsday
And who is behind it...a man "white" european named Louis Ryan Shaffer that's whose name is on the trademark, and one of the co-owners of the brand. This man works for RocNation and a digital marketing firm he founded called BRKTHRU.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/l-ryan-shaffer-5aa54b13
Louis Ryan Shaffer studied Public Policy African American Studies at UNC and has a law degree from Howard university.
None of the folks on the BRKTHRU site are black tho somehow.
And not only that the company is co-owned by a Trinidian named Scott Robert William's, who also co-owns a restaurant named Las Lap with MBJ.
Our Favorite Bar May Be Closed Right Now, But the Party’s Not Over
MBJ should pull all his money and tell them to kiss his azz. And fux an apology.

"The trademark cites Louis Ryan Shaffer as the owner of J’Ouvert. Another co-owner of the company, who is said to have Trinidad roots, owns a restaurant in New York with another Carnival-themed name."

"Originally from Trinidad, Williams grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and attended high school on the Upper West Side at Trevor Day School—an experience that afforded him exposure to renowned Manhattan restaurants. “My first time going to a fancy restaurant was with my best friend’s family, because his parents are restaurateurs [Keith McNally and Lynn Wagenknecht]. After basketball practice he’d be like, ‘Let’s go to one of the restaurants,’ and it would be Balthazar or Pastis.”
So I want you to heed the intellectuall dishonesty by the media and poor investigation skills to perform this PSyop against our people. Using MBJ as the face, then only highlighting him for backlash.
