There's a thread about a vid of Busta Rhymes that was trending on here yesterday where he says that our culture doesn't even exist, and we owe everything to West Indian and Latino culture.

That's just one example, and it doesn't get more disrespectful than saying a group of people don't have a culture at all and owe our entire cultural existence to people that got most of their culture from us, especially today.

Edit:

Here's the clip..



This is no diss, I'm dropping out of the "diaspora wars" and don't feel like going back and forth.

Plus, I'd be lying if I said I personally wasn't influenced in any way by Caribbean culture.

I'm a Hip Hop kid, I had no choice, but to deny our culture is ultimate disrespect.

I love my roots, I love my history, and I love all aspects of our culture on most days.

There's shyt that definitely needs correcting, but that goes for any culture.

busta believe in Qanon so there's that...

LMAO and this is The Coli's biggest hero. Where's Harlem hottie and her "Brooklyn is wild because of the West Indians" post. The fact that ya'll fell for this con artist this long says a lot about yall's characters. Like I said, I've never encountered this anti-other diaspora sh+ on here, twitter and clubhouse recently. I asked for tangible examples of West Indian descendant's disenfranchising fba and got crickets. Keep beefing with the 3% of people your skin color instead of white people though what do I know

what's the con :jbhmm:

While that may be true, let's not sit here and act like he's the only one that feels that way.

shyt, there's some ADOS/FBA that feel that same way.

One of the things that happened with Hip Hop culture in the beginning is they made us feel ashamed of the culture we created to survive in this country.

All of a sudden, the black church was following the white man's religion, soul food was poison, and talking in your regional dialect made you country and stupid if you didn't talk like you was from the Northeast or had a foreign accent.

That never went away, and the older I get, and also peeping just how many foreigners, or children of foreigners, had a heavy influence on early Hip Hop culture, it all makes sense now.

OP would have a point if Tariq was trying to break up an actual alliance between African-Americans and Caribbeans. What he is doing is exposing that the alliance that so many African-Americans pretended was there does not exist and that they need to do for self because that's what everyone else is doing. Why would the Government want African-Americans to:
  • Pull away from the Democrats
  • Define themselves culturally and protect said culture
  • Create boundaries between them and other non-white groups
  • Clearly define who their oppressor is and what that oppressor owes them
  • Demand reparations so that they can form an economic base, push out all the bum nikkas, and live with pride and dignity
Tariq is by no means perfect and gets on my last damn nerves sometimes but he is right a lot of the times and is very effective. I just don't see why the government would have an agent that promotes Black liberation...that's counter-productive to the government's goals. Especially when the group he is promoting liberation to is radical, doesn't venerate White people, and has no problem challenging the government.
One of the dopest dudes I've met since I've started my "corporate career"
is from the caribbean.

Skimmed through the thread and @tuckdog made some of the only sensible posts in here :yeshrug:

please don’t ever blindly follow or idolize people. If it gets to the point where you’re getting behind rhetoric like this you need to check yourself. It’s no different from how twitter people that often get called mentally ill or dismissed as “babble” on here were indoctrinated

this is incredibly irresponsible from Tariq. sad state of affairs all around and I hope the culprits are found

I appreciate that breh.

We've done enough destruction, it's time to start building.

In life, you can't have progress without some type of destruction, so all of the bullshyt that took place over the last few years had to take place in order for us to start working towards some type of real understanding.

That band-aid had to be ripped off.

We'd been playing with it for way too long and it started crusting up and peeling around the edges.

The last bit of destruction we have left is getting nikkas like Tariq out the paint.

It's time to start recognizing and appreciating our differences instead of shytting of them.

Not just between ADOS/FBA/AA and others, but regionally in the United States as well, and every other example of cultural rivalries in the Diaspora that I'm unaware of.

It's time to tear down that tainted lens of distrust that we view each others views through.

It's time to start acknowledging our own ugly pasts and biases towards each other, and admitting our mistakes.

It's time to start openly and unbiasedly sharing our cultures with each other, with the ultimate aim of creating one Universal Black Culture, untainted by outsider influence.

Let's make each other better.

So, with all that being said, understand that when we talk ADOS/FBA, it's strictly for the purpose of working towards correcting the wealth gap in the United States of America by giving the descendants of American slavery reparations for the wrongs done to them and their ancestors in this country.

Anyone that uses those acronyms for any purpose other than that one specific mission is not to be trusted.

Honestly what hurts is seeing a guy who doesn’t live in a black city dismissing black political engagement. I’m from and live in a black city. I’ve seen the power of politics. So to do this bullshyt false equivalency of between democrats and republicans and playing dumb about the impact of policy while resorting to nihilism is dangerous and regressive.

I'm not talking politics right now, breh.
