Trick Daddy no longer wants to be called African American “I ain’t never been to Africa”!!!

[In The Zone '98]

If your African American, then what am i

You get to have your own distinction but we don’t?

This is why delineation and fba/ados is necessary

If you and others don't want to identify with the slave trade, so be it.

FBA is still an African based people. I don't see how you wouldn't be.

Who said any of that. The slave trade is set in stone

Is being Guyanese not identifying with the slave trade

You're talking in circles just to debate

I'm Black. I'm African American. I was born in the USA.

Regardless of my parents being Caribbean, I'm not speaking out of bounds by critiquing another AA about not wanting to identify with African slave roots

Trick can feel how he wants, his perogative. But by putting it out in the open, he opened himself up for debate

Isn't Trick Gullah?

Again I ask

How can me and you both be African American
You don’t see the obvious problem with that

Because we're obviously descendants of slavery as black people while being born in the United States

No Breh we stem from two separate lineages. My ethnic group and ethno genesis was created here. Yours was created in Guyana

Good luck to Trick and you as well

Why doesn’t anyone tell Jamaicans they aren’t Jamaican and they’re generic Africans? It’s always a problem when Americans do it. Are cacs here just Americans or European Americans? It’s always just accepted for them
Y’all gotta stop this pick and choose who’s a generic African. We know we have mostly African DNA. Still makes us American since we’ve been here since its inception

 

[K.O.N.Y]

Where did the USA and Guyana get the black people from, KONY?

Where was I born, KONY?

What's the definition of the term African American, KONY?

displaced Africans went into the new world and that resulted in new world lineages and cultural groups

Yours stems from Guyana, mines from America. Your family immigrated to the United States you are Guyanese-American

Afram was originally intended for what we now call fba/ados. We can clearly see that was a problem

 

[MostReal]

He's right. We aren't Africans, we're Black Americans and we're admixed too.

FBA, Freedman that's what we are

 

[NO-BadAzz]

Black is Black.

Not my fault you follow Tariq and got angst for Caribbeans.

I'm 40. I was born in America before you. How am I over comfortable?

Black aint black, what the hell does that even mean?

Jesse Jackson popularized the term African American he said:

“Every ethnic group in this country has a reference to some land base, some historical cultural base,” Jackson pointed out. “There are Armenian-Americans and Jewish-Americans and Arab-Americans and Italian-Americans.” These hyphenated Americans, Jackson said, had a “degree of accepted and reasonable pride”, and had succeeded in connecting “their heritage to their mother country” and also to “where they are now” in America

The South era of hip hop was mostly irrelevant worldwide. Hate to break it to the brehs. Southern cats that are huge in the US can't barely book shows overseas compared to some relatively unknown east coast/West coast lyricists. International audience had issues with the accents

i've actually said this a few years ago

if you look up the highest selling rap albums of all time, Outkast Speakerboxxxx will be the only one from a southern rap act that is on that list. and we know why, because they were good rappers who were coherent. everyone else on that list are from the eastcoast, midwest or westcoast. southern rappers just don't have that international draw or household draw. even in the states, they're not as big as rappers from yester years.

This conversation again ??? My God, black Americans haven't been African in hundreds of years, they have their own culture and everything so Trick daddy is right.....still part of the black diaspora around the world and it's all love
