Trump changes black history month to "National African American History Month"

[Apollo Creed]

Nobody is in their feelings. AA's need to help themselves as a "collective" than worry about some macro scale black collective

Like i said i dont care about none of that extra stuff, if we aint talking about building there is nothing else to talk about. You discover yourself on your own time.

 

[RadaMillz]

Isn't Black History month = AA history?

who thought otherwise? I'm confused about this because I never thought for a second it included Africans, or any other black group outside of America.

As an African kid growing up, this is when I learned about prominent AA figures in school.

What is this fuss about?

There is no fuss, folks just crying just to cry.

Thanks but no thanks Mr. Trump. You may have gotten the Cro-Magnons in Middle America to buy your snake oil, but not I

You can still be unified while having ownership of your own shyt

White people are as unified as anyone when it comes to cliqueing up on other groups for some good ole fashioned racism but Russians have ownership of their culture and history as do Italians, Irish and all other white groups

I want black unity but I also want all black groups to have strong identities at the same time. Individuals and groups with identity issues are more likely to be c00ns or traitors. So if you want us to share black history month then what can AAs have to ourselves? We share our culture, our style, our way of speaking and our fukking communities with everyone else yet we get nothing in return. Where does it end?

This is something that needs to be answered by misguided AA's who are opposing this, And carib/african cats

that's what it's turned to, but that doesnt mean people have to accept that...

i thought otherwise cause black people existed long before we were slaves here, meaning we have history outside of this country...

not fussing, just stating my opinions....

Black history money is about black history in AMERICA. If people want to know what blacks accomplished in america pre slavery then bring that up with the so called scholars. Once again folks are caught in symbolism.

What i find most interesting about all this is how black americans allow themselves to be called africans. Here in Brazil a black person is described as black, not african brazilian although of course we are descendants of the great mother Africa

​

...to be honest I've become more and more disillusioned with the term "black" after coming across the 1976 Brazilian census which takes using the term "black" closer to it's logical(IMO ridiculous) conclusion.

1976 Brazilian census identifications

.......Because race is a cultural concept, beliefs about race vary dramatically from one culture to another. In this regard, America and Brazil are amazingly different in the categories they use. The United States has a small number of racial categories, based overwhelmingly on ancestry. Thus, it is possible for an American who "looks white" to "really be black" because he or she has "black blood."

In contrast, Brazilians classify people according to what they look like, using a large number of different terms. For example, one study in the Brazilian northeast conducted by the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE)--the entity responsible for the census--asked people what color (cor) they were, and received 134 different answers! (Other studies have found even larger numbers; and the results vary regionally, with much fewer categories used in the south of the country.) In many Brazilian families different racial terms are used to refer to different children, while such distinctions are not possible in the United States because all the children--no matter what they look like--have the same ancestry.

Thus, I was fascinated to read that "For the first time, non-white people make up the majority of Brazil's population, according to preliminary results of the 2010 census.".......

There is nothing to be considerate about. Only AAs can fix their internal issues, its not my business so i can careless about dicussing it, its not for me to fix. Lol it aint immigrants on tv sh*tting on AAs, its other AAs. Black immigrants are irrelevant to AA success in America because their numbers are tiny. At the end of the day im not an immigrant but im also not in a state where there is debate on my ancestry or how i want to be defined. Black folks around the world all got issues, at the end of the day folks need to fix their ish and then focus on building.

My concern is for blacks as a whole, once again if you aint here to talk about building then you have nothing to talk to me about as far as black people are concerned.

 

[HopeKillCure]

I'm for it. Our ancestors built this county and have paid the price 10 times over. I'm tired of new blacks coming in, taking advantage of the programs (diversity), we fought for, and getting chosen over us.

Be proud of getting "chosen" by cacs brehs

Are you sure you not Asianthat's their type of goal, not a black one
