The Grapevine: Africans, AA's and Caribbeans

[scarlxrd]

Yeah the YouTube comments.

I'm gonna check them out

They're based in NYC? I'm here and i never heard of this station before yall brought this up.

Plenty of Carribeans all over the city, it doesn't make sense why they're not as vocal on the station. I find it funny they primarily put mostly Africans on the station when they're nowhere as numerous as Caribeans here and are mostly concentrated to Harlem and the Bronx where you'll find West Indians everywhere.

Yup, the creator is from NYC and I remember they had a casting call for hotep men and the location was NYC, so yeah.

"I find it funny they primarily put mostly Africans on the station when they're nowhere as numerous as Caribeans here and are mostly concentrated to Harlem and the Bronx where you'll find West Indians everywhere"

Exactly.

The creator is African so I'm guessing she's just heavily heavily biased in seeking out people similar to her. Because you can pick out a Caribbean way easier than an African. The African immigrant presence in America is a very recent presence.

They didn't even have a CARIBBEAN panel like everyone else had theirs, they just went
with the "collective".


HoW are you going to call it "- Africans vs AA's vs West Indians" with no West Indians in it?



They can't find any fukking Caribbeans in NEW YORK?!

Motherfukkers have Nigerians and Ghanians on deck, though.

All the West Indians would have did was dikkride the African talking points

I don't think so. Caribbeans are more nuanced than you think.

@Stacker Pentecost went hard on that episode.

I wish that black republican more

Karl is such a fukking troll I'm convinced he does not actually believe 99.99% of what he says.

 

[Whogivesafuck]

Was that Jamaican nikka Gay?

I remember when that nikka pulled up with a MAGA hat in one of the videos after the election

Just to chime in, the casting was really hard for this episode... we sent out a casting call on Twitter for BAs as in descendants of American chattel slavery and had first generation children of African immigrants replying... same for the West Indian panel, did a call for WI and had a lot of ppl removed from the culture but still considered themselves WI replying. And it was very difficult to tell ppl no that's not what we mean because then they hit the "So you're saying I'm not Black enough/WI enough/etc"

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

Carl won't even trying to hide his shyt. That motherfukka was there solely for fukkery and controversy.

Every episode lol

 

[Whogivesafuck]

this discussion is mad tame compared to this one

I watch them but I don't like there format. It's always 4 or 3 African against one AA. Plus they have to many transplants. They should have a Inglewood Nigerian and AA from SC.

what the hell

Carl was being obtuse at his worst and ignorant at his best. If they really had an unfiltered and politically incorrect conversation on stereotypes Carl would have got his feelings hurt. I don't think that's where breh really wants to take it. I'm bout to watch part 2 in just a minute

Ain't he apart of a Black American fraternity anyway? I wonder how his brothers would feel about him sharing these opinions of their people.

 

[ImGucci]

Ive ived in NYC my whole life and dont know any Africans like they show them on the show.

If you grew up here, then you would already know we're quite heavy in Harlem and the Bronx(where i grew up). I know a few out in Queens too from my roommate. Now BK, i can't say cause I don't go there like that.

The thing about us Africans is that we usually keep mostly to ourselves.
