This is not to say all, but some diasporans tend to have a problem with American black folks being proud of being American but if a Jamaican waves their flags they are praised for it. South Africans can be xenophobic towards any outsiders (haven’t seen them do it towards non blacks though). Michael B Jordan been putting in work, he moves in silence. He was protesting, he just didn’t make a big deal out of it by crying on a mic claiming he might not ever get booked after it (knowing right now not supporting BLM will get you backlash) You ain’t gotta be a performative activist, you can do shyt in silence.You’re all over the place, I was talking about Yvette with the last Malcolm X quote but if you agree with her self hate it applies to you as well, you are ADOS, yes and those slaves and your ancestors were Africans, so hating on a ADOS choosing to explore and be proud of that side is his history is literally hating yourself.... Word to the man who coined the phrase in the first place!! Erm woman, Jamaicans can say they’re Jamaican as much as they want but the moment you start denouncing and ridiculing someone for playing up their African heritage that’s something else, from Rastafarianism to Nanny Maroon, Marcus Garvey Bob Marley a large great deal of the culture is based around being proud of your roots, so a Jamaican can be proud of being a Jamaican while also being proud of being an African descendant too, that’s all, it’s not a big deal or something that is unique to ADOS, not one bit.
Im not lying about South Africa I’m well aware of the xenophobia to Nigerians in particular, I’m not sure that same xenophobia would be applicable to AA’s maybe you should go there yourself and see?
And I agree with the rest of what you say that’s why I don’t get angry with the majority of Tariq says, a lot of 1st gen and 2nd gen Africans are c00ns, and they need to get on code, damn right, as do a large number of ADOS also, for example like I said Michael B Jordan doesn’t seem to be on code more than Boyega is?
