Before I had the data on African/African American relations, I used to see @Poitier going at it with immigrants and think:

This nikka done lost his mind - we all black :dwillhuh:

But look at me now :wow:

I didn't think deeply about ethnicity before I joined this forum:ld:

Every thread had an African or island nikka saying a slick comments unchecked which made me :mindblown::pacspit:that folks weren't getting in their ass...2012 posters

Then I found out about nairaland and somalinet and realized this was a bigger cultural issue and we needed to mobilize :obama:

Im not against doing business in Africa either.... I set a few things up while in capetown :yeshrug: Every brother or sister I ran into there was nice and welcoming and didnt mind giving me the game on how things work there. I think we should focus on doing good business and the other shyt will take care of itself :ehh:

Be willfully obtuse brehs

He tried to say it's just a Nigerian thing. I said no, it's an offset of colonization which affects your entire continent, North, South, East, and West. That you are all part of a global collective that places Black Americans at the bottom. You need me to spell anything else out for your simple ass?

Places black americans at the bottom of what?

You AA have been trying to ride our wave the past 2-3 years now. Wearing dashikis, bumping our music, sudden renewed interest in pan-Africanism to connect with us. :russ:
