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

[Starman]

You can make the effort to identify with a majority black culture. Marry a Ghanaian, have kids with her, learn twi etc. You don't have to be stuck in whiteness.

 

[Crayola Coyote]

Horrible take.

 

[HimmyHendrix]

Yup, even more when they play that game against Jamaicans who grew up in the US, UK, etc.


One great thing about being an actual Pan-African is you recognize c00nery no matter where it comes from.


Btw, comparing a small group of Asians who grew up in a predominantly Black country as a minority is nowhere near the same as white Americans, the majority of whom do not grow up with us and are quite adamant about keeping it that way lol.


Now that we got that out the way. Have you tried this theory of yours out with white folks? Hit up some white message board and lectured them about this?

pan africans are the biggest c00ns in the diaspora lol

most of us have some (few) white colleagues/neighbors/acquaintances.

so i ain’t gotta test this online

this is true for everyone everywhere. everyone shares more in contact w their countrymen then others.

which is why whether you’re black or white

super bowl sunday with a beer and wings is happening across the country

you pannies don’t have monopoly on “real black thought” btw. u nikkas are destructive c00ns

Ghanaian culture is not black culture.

don’t advocate ethnocide. my black culture is enough.

Horrible take.

elaborate. when this is true across the entire world.

 

[3rdWorld]

elaborate. when this is true across the entire world.

Explain yourself and quit embarassing yourself and those that raised you..the Black world isnt c00n headquarters like you wish it was. and your snide remark proves you actually know nothing about Black peoples anywhere.

If you seek the love and affection of Whitey, do you but dont make seem like everyone shares your psychosis.

Just like I thought, coward.

OP completely right even though a lot of folks don’t wanna admit it


It’s tough but it’s the real reality

That doesn't negate his point. A Black American from New Orleans is gonna have more in common with an multi generation Italian from New Orleans or a Cajun, than they would a Fulani from Nigeria.

the common factor is how they are treated.




humans being social animals, where solitary confinement can drive people mad , "treatment" is the thing that matters.

not to mention shared logistical barriers in navigating society. employment, housing, police, the legal system, political representation, exploitation ..

And Hank has more in common with us than a Swiss man or a Ukrainian.

it’s just culture. it’s not a big deal.

I bet Hank doesn’t season his food, wash his legs can’t cant dance in rhythm and goes out in the cold with minimal clothes just like the Swiss man or Ukrainian though

 

[Biscayne]

the fact that it’s true is not some laughing matter dummy…ask yourself what had to happen to get to that point…think about your ancestors and what they went through and see if you feel the same pride to have more in common w rednecks who still have the same hate in their hearts for you as their ancestors did…

ppl who think like this are no worse than dogs you have been domesticated…you are a pet

I’ve said it before but it’s really over for black ppl worldwide…too many of us just want cacs acceptance when we should be wanting genocide…

You don’t throw the baby out with the bath water, due to the messed up circumstances surrounding the genesis of your heritage. There’s plenty of beautiful uniquely Black American traditions that don’t really have much of a basis in African culture. The trauma of slavery shouldn’t make it a shame, that these traditions are still up held.

the common factor is how they are treated.

OP never said White supremacy didn’t exist. Just certain cultural commonalities exist that supersede phenotypical commonalities when you engage one on one with your neighbors. And even ppl who do share similar phenotype as you, can be used as tools of white supremacy against you.

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.

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.
