So these Nigerian girls are mad on my Timeline

No man should have they toes out

Real talk... I would of gave him a pass if he had those basic ass jesus sandals,because of the climate but the ones hes wearinglegit look like some female wear.

Yeah those were Giuseppe Zanotti sandals. shyt is

Everyone should have disdain for ignorance. If someone is walking around in his cultural wear, and then a group of AAs start making fun of him, clowning him, looking down, you think he's going to high five? Who threw shade first in this exchange? And then when the person claps back you claim victim

He didn't joke on him for being African. Y'all are putting all this subtext into the conflict based on how YOU feel about US Black Americans.

He literally called the shoes gay and that's it. There was nothing about them being African or a different culture whatsoever. So many Africans (regardless of country of origin) already have this weird animosity towards BAs that they jump on the defensive with us. He roasted the sandals just like I would roast my Black American uncles sandals, it had nothing to do with being new or different or African. Y'all made this shyt about AAs vs Africans, not us. Starting with Wale's crybaby ass comment.

If somebody called you a name like bootyscratcher then feel free to clap back just like we will when called slaves.

Its called not taking disrespect like a bytch.

I have to say a lot of Africans don't seem to understand the severity of calling people slaves and the n-word tho. Seen people try to equate 'African booty scratcher' to '******' and I'm like

What is the origin of African booty scratcher? Is it the intent that offends some Africans or is scratching your butt taboo for some cultures? shyt just sounds silly more than anything

And this is the point. BAs roast footwear we don't like. The end. They're making it about us not liking their cultural gear or whatever we just don't like the shoes #dassit Other shoes might have gotten a pass And a BA with those exact same shoes on is ALSO getting roasted.

Take shyt to heart because you ALREADY don't like BAs, African brehs

I concur. People equating jokes to racial slurs that were used for hundreds of years I get that your feelings were hurt by someone in middle school calling you an African booty scratcher but let that hurt go

The comments here are very depressing


Listening to Untitled with tears , Nas was saying the truth

I haven't heard that shyt since early elementary and it was mostly AA's saying it to each other.

What's even more sick is that they have designated words in a derogatory form to describe a group of people that most of them will never meet
And on top of that they are culture vultures that claim we have no culture

"Oh my sandals are ugly? I bet you thinking I'm an African booty scratcher too! You AKATA ASS ******!"

I haven't heard that shyt in years and I honestly don't think I've ever called anyone that. I don't like BAs that look down on Africans and vice versa because it's all internalized white supremacist bullshyt notions of inferiority/superiority but it seems like BAs are moving at a faster pace on this than continental Africans.

Scust

This thread is atrocious

Part of it is, when they come here, they manage to leap right over a lot of the obstacles that you hear African-Americans complain about.
My grandmother's mother came here with her (mind you she's a Haitian woman, and this is in the 1920s) and managed to put my grandmother through private-school, while fighting cancer in its later stages. My grandmother was one of three Black teachers and one of the first Black teachers (along with my grandfather) in that district. My friend's parents moved from Nigeria, to Jamaica, to the US and all of their kids are in Medical School in the Ivy League, and both parents are doctors.
When we compare out post-genocide plight to theirs, we're the ones who face the least obstacles

Where did your Great-Grandmother move to when she arrived in the United States? What was her educational background in Haiti?
