Sports Analyst, Emmanuel Acho, says being non-FBA means he doesn't have "generational trauma" and he can speak with no "sting" to white people.

Van be checking folks from what I see.
None of that "FBA" talk, tryna jockey over who's 'better' or hairline/fleeing jokes neither



Just straight facts

Triple plat thread incoming

As a non-“ADOS” when I saw the headline I said YES. fukk that ‘generational trauma’ bullshyt. I’ve spoken on this a few times. I genuinely think ‘ADOS’ fellas are being poisoned by women:

Like apparently everyone has huge trauma and fukked up pasts on their shoulders . Like damn no one just had a decent Aight upbringing?! It’s constant victim porn

Most of us have typical issues that come with adulthood. So no need to gas it like women—- ‘tRauMa’—-and we don’t need to cry every 5 seconds.

But THAT is the convo on its own: Stop leaning up against ‘trauma’ like women. There was NO reason for him to connect it to talking to white people better

Africans don't understand what it means to be black. It's something they have to learn through experience just like east Asians have to learn what it means to be Asian American. When you come from a context where you are the norm and all the people in charge look like you, it is a culture shock to come to America and have to accept that you don't call the shots. They think they can distinguish themselves from American born black people and truthfully some Caucasians WILL use them as a cudgel to denigrate black people. An African with an anticolonial mindset sees this psy op for what it is and moves accordingly. But a lot of them are still not plugged in. If they were, they would not be allowed to come here.

Two bootlickers if we're being honest.

only right answer in this thread.

I'm not familiar with this man and haven't watched football since kneeling was a thing...

I'm not even playing devil's advocates but this forum literally says the same thing to Africans in the buffoon war threads. "we can't understand racism as well and don't know white people as well plus get along easier" because we don't have the same experience as Americans. he said the same thing

He didn't say anything about being better...

Nah you a c00n too

Thanks for letting us know

African and Caribbean people really go to America and just spout nonsense that would offend the rest of the Diaspora

i can pull receipts from nearly any diaspora war thread with posters echoing his exact sentiment. all this emotional shyt you doing is besides the point.

@Thegospel i don't know shyt about van lathan aside from what he said to kanye and this.

Get off my nuts

 

[Bunchy Carter]

I do not understand....So why did his family leave Nigeria and a continent full of Black people and no generational trauma, to America full of White people?

I live in California where Black people are 6.5% and I choose to live in an area where the majority are Black people.

 

[Mashal88]

Another one of these Black Americans vs African threads again? TLR about as original as a Reggaeton track.

I think what Acho is trying to convey is that because of his Nigerian linage, he didn’t experience the recent “trauma” with white people. Such as Jim Crow laws etc. So it’s easy for him to communicate with white people because he doesn’t have an emotional connection to Black struggles.

I think Van is right to call Acho out, because Acho acts like a representative of Black People, but he isn’t emotionally connected to Black people so he’s approach to white people is not a true representation of black people
