Nigerian comedian Godfrey says some Africans hate African Americans

[Blessings]

Exactly. No matter where in the world I go, it's all love to my black brothers and sisters.

Facts, never got static with anyone black. It's only been certain white and asian folks in corporate settings.

Life is amazing, family great...just want the best for anyone black.

When black people lookout (school, work, nightlife, etc)...they never asked my nationality, where I grew up, anything personal
On the flip side I'm also looking out. Especially when it comes to job interviews for black candidates

My parents never told me to stay away from anyone. My father attended university in Minneapolis and Memphis during the 70s, and he had lifelong friends who were Black Americans. They shared amazing stories about my dad during his funeral. Some of those friends were integral parts of my life. My family never talked about Akata. I grew up surrounded by Black American, Nigerian, and Caribbean cultures, and that's what I know and love.

You can feel how you feel, and that's cool.

It's crazy the stark difference between nikkas who are just miserable psychopaths and folks who are really human.

I'm just learning to laugh at these diaspora war threads and the same insecure, self-important nikkas who are so invested in it.

Nah I’ve worked with a lot of them Africans. They like to get with other Africans and speak their language and talk about us

Multiple countries speak multiple different languages lmaooo you have to be specific

akata
no culture
using "ghetto" AA to represent all AA's

just dumb as hell. So I would call her out on it.

It means stray cat. It refers to Nigerians who’ve gone abroad (US and UK) and forget aspects of life back at home

I grew up to pan-africanist parents. I thought all Africans were like my parents until I got around them.

No. They are referring to Black Americans. So often these folks slip up around me thinking I'm down with their type of talk.

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

This sounds crazy and conspiratorial. What's the secret African language which allows communication?

 

[RaspberryFitted]

I understand that and I will not lie and say there are not sneaky Africans who speak ill on African-Americans.

But that’s what the word means. I’ve been called that. Seen mfs retwist the meaning to make it sound more sinister

The pushback we are seeing is from Pan-Africanism being one sided. Pan-Africanism was born outside of Africa. Ironically, Africans never embraced it as tribalism is their day to day existence. And the Africans Kwame Nkrumah who did embrace pan-africanism more often than not were educated in the US. when attempting to execute it in Africa they were either assassinated or overthrown. Kwame Nkrumah desperately tried to create a one Africa, one army and when doing so, the UN swooped in and formed the African Union to offset his influence.

At the end of the day, most of Africa never embraced pan-africanism that Black Americans long embraced. It was always one sided and now we are seeing the push back.

 

[Family Man]

Nikka a rambling panderer

That's exactly what he is. Is it a shock that some people don't fukk with some people.

 

[NYC Rebel]

Nah. He's right. Thing is, if folks think African's hate Black Americans, they should see how African groups hate other African groups within their respective countries.

This is ahistorical.

The Pan African Congresses, OAU/AU, and the existence of multi ethnic African states, and pan African struggles against colonialism and racial Apartheid is evidence enough.

Pan-Africanism waned in the 1990s (South Africa was liberated and the Congo Wars erupted) but it was THE pan-continental driving force until then.

I posted this six years ago. Africans treat africans like dirt. All theyre doing is importing a behavior they long carried.

Pan Africanism never had any real foothold in Africa. South Africa’s fight was similar to Black’s fight here as they were in proximity to their oppressors. Which is why the bond between south africans and black americans was far stronger than with other groups. Either way, the powers that be were not going to allow pan Africanism to take root in Africa.

The formation of the African Union was done to hurt Kwame
