The Grapevine: Africans, AA's and Caribbeans

[IllmaticDelta]

Not all AAs go to Ghana, breh.

of course, that was one example that represents the mentality of the majority

More AAs will tell you they relate more to cacs than they do to Masai Kenyans in some village.

nah....

Carl talking about we need to claim a land...nikka we didn't land on Plymouth rock, Plymouth rock landed on us. THIS OUR LAND......the land u yourself are benefitting from.....the fukk?

Pretty much. NYC and Miami Haitians get along with AA's fine and with other West Indies as well. The elite Haitians in Montreal and Boston have money. Meanwhile in Miami and New York alot of them came from poverty and work hard and know the struggle. Hell in NYC look at what NYPD did to Abner Louima and how they lynched Patrick Dorismond. We have experienced white supremacy in both Miami and New York.

Yep. Not only that but white supremacist CONSTANTLY try to shyt on Haiti.

No, I'm not. Y'all love to blame Naijas but colonization is an issue on your entire fukking continent dude. Y'all are a part of a collective, as much as you want to deny it, and y'all collectively treat us like fukking shyt. WAs, EAs, SAs, NAs. Y'all play hot potato with the shyt when it affects all of you. fukking stupid.

He's right tho. Coastal West Africans ARE the main ones... For the most part.

You AA have been trying to ride our wave the past 2-3 years now.

stop it

Wearing dashikis,

nothing new...afrocentric aframs been on that since the 1960's as I posted before

Afrocentrism was strongest in the 60s and 70s.

I believe @IllmaticDelta has cited sources about AAs wearing dashikis during that time sort of instilling pride in continental Africans wearing the attire.

I wouldn't chalk this up to some bridge-gapping.

“It was incredible how my head was turned,” Kuti told the New York Times in 1987. “Everything fell into place. For the first time, I saw the essence of blackism. It’s crazy; in the States people think the black power movement drew inspiration from Africa. All these Americans come over here looking for awareness, they don’t realize they’re the ones who’ve got it over there. We were even ashamed to go around in national dress until we saw pictures of blacks wearing dashikis on 125th street.”

>Fela Kuti and traditional African religion

I can't respect or take any CA that lives in the country of his/her former colonizer all while talking shyt about BAs seriously

I had one c*nt from Benin living in France claim BAs were all lazy criminals that made a mockery of "her" culture but used AAVE, stanned BA artists and got all mad when I mentioned prolly moving to Ghana because I didn't "consider countries like Benin and Togo"

Oh and she claimed Haitians had an inferior version of Vodun and didn't care if they were slaves or not

this type of shyt irks me to no end. Appropriate our culture/stan our historic greats/leech off our movements and then have the nerve to try to diss
