WTF kinda c00n ass shytThere actually wasn't much shea butter twitter shyt during the discussion.
One shorty on the panel talked about how she went to several West African countries and talked about how she got called a slave twice while there.
One scenario was that some man was bragging about how his family were responsible for selling black people to Europeans. He said my grandfather sold the weak African's into slavery, you're one of the weak African's. The other instance was some African breh was trying to spit game her way and she wasn't feeling him so like dudes in the states do when a girl isn't feeling them they say "fukk you bytch, I didn't want you anyway" but instead the African breh straight up called her a slave due to being rejected. Another shorty on the panel talked about how she was dating an African breh. She pretty much grew up with him, same neighborhood and all. But when they started getting serious he didn't introduce her to his mother because she was AA. One breh talked about how he used to make fun of people for their accents and he attempted to connect that to the contention that Africans have with AA's/Diasporans. A few people talked about some of the opinions that they've heard African's express about them. The same female who talked about being called a slave also talked about how she was at this history class that was discussing the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. The attendance was mostly continental African's with some AA's mixed in. When the details of the slavery became graphic specifically when things like castration got brought up a lot of the African students were giggling.
I really didn't see or hear all this shea butter shyt ya'll nikkas was talking about.
Edit: typos
I'd be ready to crack someone's jaw for that kinda disrespectful talk
All that slave talk shyt will get yo ass pistol whipped
lol... I remember when I said that Mexicans had more of an understanding to white supremacy than African immigrants some of these Africans came out the flood gate on some
I don't give a shyt if anyone says, I am never backtracking from that statement... This is why I said AAs NEED to drop our racialized label for more of an ethnic one before we do anything else.
Tweet Ashley and try to come on the show. It is New York based after all.
For what?
To bring that authentic #TeamAA perspective :Drakewtf:
The AA's on that panel seem to be liberal.
Carribbeans are fine 
STFU.Carribbeans are fine
@Diasporan Royalty do it breh
non-moist Coli perspective
I don't have time. Still haven't found an apartment in Brooklyn, have to prepare for collage and have an upcoming trip to DC. Plus I'm not the General of #AA.
I don't trust Nigerians especially the immigrants. No offense to the cool Naija brehs on here.The Nigerians on that panel do seem kinda uppity tho
I do believe that it's a positive thing that they're trying to do. That Ashley chick is trying to start an honest dialogue between different groups
@Poitier should make the trip to NYC
i'd get kicked off the panel in the 1st five minutes but i do need an excuse to go back
