Serious: Why wouldn’t a Black American Share More In Common Culturally With A White American over an African?

Yvette's not sufficiently Black ethnic to have unwavering loyalty to Black people..many of these 50/50 Black/ White mixes arent in this for what you think..to her this is just a meal ticket, as she has proven where her loyalties truly lie. Same applies to Tariq.
This is bullshyt, y’all didn’t listen to shyt she got to say

You are not ADOS. And where it concerns loyalty, those people in Africa aren't even loyal to each other in their respective homelands that they operate & control.

The only people (in the last 400 years) that have shown loyalty amongst each other in regards to collective uplift are ADOS people (and some Caribbeans). That is why you are here in America, not anywhere in the many African countries that indigenous Africans have the numbers in and control.

Everybody knows this, they just like to play stupid with us. You can tell bc the same thread about, say, Chinese- Jamaicans would be full of people telling us how we just don't 'get it.'

White supremacist talking points in the cloak of pan- Africanism. Nasty work.
Literally!! You Ignorant Americans just don't understand. Chinese ppl have been here for decades. Chinese-Caribbean culture IS our culture.
Cultural lines are extremely blurry. I have more in common with a black person from Detroit, than I do with a black person from Maryland, Louisiana, or Texas. That doesn't mean our broader culture similarities don't or can't overlap. When you look at places in Africa, or the Caribbean and then cross them with certain elements of the American south, you see that cultural overlap with regards to certain foods, dance, music, and even language with the Gullah people of South Carolina.

On the other hand, when you travel especially to places with broad interest from places around the world(tropical vacation spots), or you go to live in another country things change very, very quickly, and you begin to understand the similarities we share with white people when you're seen as simply "American". Of course there is nuance, and because of our internal differences we ain't always gonna get along simply because we're from the same place. But shyt I was just in the DR, and these two complete strangers both from Texas...One black, one white got along like they knew each other their entire lives, just because both were from Texas, and could identify culturally with each other.
It's that simple. They can play dumb. If a Dominican who looks about as light as Ted Cruz and a Dominican who's about as black as Wesley Snipes were both at the Houston Rodeo, they'd both be sticking to each other like brothers, because they share common nationality in a foreign land.

Why not vice versa? Why not learn BA culture?

I suppose an African could, and probably would if you meet and live in America.

I was just making the point that you can learn other cultures. Blacker cultures.

We are a mix...it is what it is.

Jambalaya = Jollof rice with different spices used

Gumbo = a West African word for okra...and then we used okra in what ended up being the dish known as "Gumbo." Cajuns put their spin on it but Gumbo is African with a dash of Acadian/white French co-opting

Fried chicken = Scottish food but with African spices we brought over to make it actually taste good

Country music = African melodies and the banjo plus Irish folk music

BBQ = took something more common in Native American culture but used Old world protein (cows and pigs) to make it pop.

We're just a mix of West African + British/Irish/Scottish culture. Whether you think it's 50/50, 80/20 etc., probably depends on where you live but that's what it is. Anything you see ADOS do...there's almost always a root in Africa, the UK or both....but with our own unique flair.

There is no such thing as "Blacker cultures."

I disagree.

Would say a people that speak an African language instead of a European one, don't wear European clothes, and don't eat European dishes have a blacker culture compared to one that does the opposite.

They have an indigenous African culture.

Now you are trolling.



Well, you might not be ADOS.

I am from the Midwest and have family on the West Coast, deep south, and East Coast. I have no problem connecting with other ADOS in the country wherever I am. Sure we do things slightly differently, but that's about it.

There isn't some deep chasm of a difference to the point I cannot relate/connect.

:manny:
I am ADOS bytch, you Internet nikkas need to get popped on the mouth .

I don't relate to a Chicago nikka or LA dude at all. Our waves are complete different
