Im from NY and aframs only use that term in specific situations to get the point across that they aren't foreign(ers) to the USA.

AAs are “regular black” yet when we pull up on any of these peoples countries the locals/Native woman trip all over themselves trying to talk to us

They do but only in a areas around the north east/parts of the upper south and maybe a few places out west. Most aframs in the deep(er) south don't even see africans like that.

Come down to DC. Ethiopians, Eritreans, Ugandans, all around. Whole continent represented. But the jollof rice festival is today
Damn! I forgot that shyt happens today
That would be the case if ANY American pulled up in a foreign black country. That would happen to any American in most countries they go to period. I guess you can call it a virtue of being American.AAs are “regular black” yet when we pull up on any of these peoples countries the locals/Native woman trip all over themselves trying to talk to us

So when you say "being at the top is never easy" are you talking about being American, or are you talking about being Black (African) American, and what exactly would you be on top of?

I was in Accra with my Ghanaian-American homie, locals treated him like a weirdo out of touch with his own culture, it was different story when I pulled up though
Same thing when me and that same homie when to Dakar, we were both foreigners, both American passports but we weren’t treated the same
It’s cool though. This internet shyt is just internet shyt. We all know what it is in real life and that’s all that matters because this keyboard shyt is for the birds
The regular Black part isn't the offending part to me. It's the assumption of superiority that is bothersome.
America is a "dream" for every other Black community solely because of "regular Black" folks.
Any sense of superiority is undeserved, unfathomable, and unfortunate.

Cept the black latinos are mad 
when people say D.C., they don't necessarily mean just washington d.c., they mean southern maryland, and some include northern virginia.
Once you include all of those, there are over 1.5 million black people in the dmv

Boston's black community is stratified along very distinct economic lines. You're either poor or from an upper middle class family with money. There is no middle class for Boston blacks.Boston is very underrated when it comes to diaspora representation
What a mess
I am the product of Westindian /AA intermarriage. Idk where all these people are coming from talking about division and shyt. Sound like haters.
Where the fukk did this happen? I'm in crown heights. Started a black studies club in my school and went to mostly black schools all my life. I sound like a Brooklyn cat( I'm AA on my pops side NC and WI 4th gen on my momma side Barbados.) Ppl assume I'm AA and never give me no slick shyt, my best friends are West African and West indian. Where are ya'll having these problems? Not being a dikk. Actually curious.
