Streamer Kai Cenat: Black Americans Have No Culture

[Nokids]

Not gonna lie, half of these examples are rumors or just straight up false

numerous ducktales on that list

which ones? Nothing seems too out the ordinary seeing how people like jay z pops wasn’t in the picture and we don’t know what he was and others who pops wasn’t there

Also it doesn’t have to be the parents the grandparents could be Caribbean too

 

[HimmyHendrix]

Who is y’all? And at the last sentence?

And left out a key part in the definition of culture, which is the shared values, beliefs, systems, practices and languages that can be used to advance and define a collective.

the shared value/belief/system/practice that we have that the rest of the diaspora doesn’t is that we are race first and practice racism FAR MORE than the rest of the diaspora and it’s one of the first things you notice when meeting them. We are so race first that we name our ethnic group behind race.

We are race before nationality in a way where no other black group is and that is a result of being socialized as a minority in western capitalism / white supremacy. The rest of the diaspora was socialized as a majority. which is why people like kai can say “you’re just black!” and why we always get accused by everyone of being too race obsessed.

why are these questions never brought up for other groups? what are the shared values, beliefs, systems, practices and languages that can be used to advance and define a collective by Haitians?

ll cool J
LL Cool J
Lick your lips one time for the super fine LL Cool J! The rapper and actor is actually the grandson of a Barbadian native who came to the United States to make a better life for his family. Though his grandfather was supportive of his endeavours in hip-hop music, he wasn’t initially talking about buying turntables for Mr James Todd Smith.
“Yes my family’s from Barbados and my grandfather’s real cheap. Anyone who knows Caribbean people knows they’re very cheap, you know. He didn’t want to buy turntables. That wasn’t his thing soooo, he was saying no, no, no, no, no.” He wasn’t so cheap after all, because his grandfather wound up getting him a turntable to keep him out of trouble.

LL Cool J learns family secret in 'Finding Your Roots'

LL Cool J learns family secret of adoption as PBS' 'Finding Your Roots' unravels DNA trail. The hip-hop artist and actor also finds a champion boxer and a history of freedom from slavery in his family tree.

apnews.com

He found out he was adopted in 2016. Even refers to them as his “adoptive grandparents”

LL Cool J's childhood was scarred by his parents' separation and violence, with his maternal grandparents stepping in to give him a loving home and appreciation of music.

But the couple kept a secret from both LL Cool J and his mother: She was adopted, as the hip-hop artist and actor learns in PBS' "Finding Your Roots."


Series host Henry Louis Gates Jr. guides him down a winding DNA trail that uncovers his mother's adoption as a baby in 1947, her birth parents' identity and a family history that includes 1930s champion boxer John Henry Lewis.
And more: There's an unusual African-American record of 19th-century freedom from slavery on one side of LL Cool J's family tree, Gates notes.

The episode, which also traces Sean "Diddy" Combs' ancestry, airs Tuesday on PBS stations (check local listings for times), the day after LL Cool J hosts the Grammy Awards on CBS.

"This doesn't change how I feel about the people that raised me," LL Cool J, the "NCIS: Los Angeles" star born James Todd Smith, says of his adoptive grandparents. "I have more love and respect for them than I ever did."
