Keep giving muthaphuckas source material then cry about it.
The fact of the matter is that some people are just meant to be food. Consumed then shytted out.

I can understand y'all frustration though. Y'all get exploited by every group, even other black Americans, and feel like y'all are powerless to profit off of your own misery.

cats running from their own BLACK countries while getting exploited by their own people and a minority of non-black outsiders and then gonna have the nerve to pop shyt

That's not a consequence of black Americans being loving and accepting like the coli love to tell it, it's a result of the general lack of self worth that black Americans have.

All this lashing out and howling at the Moon that you coli nikkas love to do from time to time won't change a damn thing.
African Americans have been food and entertainment your whole history in this country.

afram's have been/done more than that in the USA. I'll put u Afram impact/achievment in the last 150-200 years to any "black" group in the same time span

These comments here is where you messed up

There have been AA STEM professionals in this country with societal wide impacts outside entertainment

11 African American Inventors Who Changed the World

Can any Black non-AA say the same? Anywhere?

Also back home in their tourist dominated countries there is plenty of entertainment

You thrive off people being too nice to turn the back mirror on you

REMEMBER DISCO KING MARIO

This Saturday [August 18th 2001] Hip Hop's pioneers will be coming out in full force to pay tribute to the memory of one of its legendary DJs who passed away a few years back-Disco King Mario. We often hear about the achievements of people like Bambaataa, Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash, but very little is said about some of the other pioneers who also laid down much of the foundation we now call Hip Hop. Cats like Pete DJ Jones, Grand Wizard Theodore, the late DJ Flowers and of course Mario were key architects.

Disco King Mario never released no records. He didn't produce no major rap stars. I'm not even sure if he ever toured around the world once Hip Hop became known world wide. However, for those of us who were around back in the beginning days of the 70s, Disco King Mario who lived upstairs from my man DJ Paradise of X-Clan over in the Bronxdale Housing projects, was a household name. He was known for throwing some of Hip Hop's best jams and keeping the party going. He was staple in early Hip Hop whose name and his crew Chuck Chuck City was mentioned on many of the early tapes. One of Mario's unwritten contributions was how he gave

Afrika Bambaattaa a helping hand. He used loan Bam his dj equipment. Later on Bam would face Mario in his first official DJ battle. Back in the early days it was Disco King Mario who was at the top of heap and the man to beat


Today its hard for people to understand the significance of the DJ. When Hip Hop first began it wasn't the rapper who was in charge. It was the DJ. It was the DJ came to symbolized the African drummer. It was the DJ who kept the pace and set the tone. It was the DJ who rocked the crowd and was the supreme personality who garnered the spot light. Everyone else including the rappers were secondary. Cats from all over came to your party based upon who was deejaying. Hence when Disco King Mario's name was mentioned cats came from all over because he was the man. He was the type of cat who simply had that magic and command of the crowd. Sadly he passed away before his time, unknown to many of today's bling bling artists who benefit from the culture he helped laid down.

If you happen to be in New York, you may see a flyer being circulated around that is reminiscent of the old school flyers from back in the days. 'By Popular demand DJ Cool Clyde, Lightnin Lance, The Nasty Cuzins, Quiet Az Kept Present their first annual Old School Reunion & Picnic'. It lets you know that the celebration for Disco King Mario is taking place Saturday August 18th at Rosedale 'Big Park' in the Bronx. The Big Park itself is legendary. When I was a kid living on Croes Avenue, we were absolutely forbidden to go across the street to the Big Park. That was because the Big Park was where many of many of the early Black Spades used to hang out. The Spades at that time were the largest and most notorious gang at that time. They eventually evolved to become The Mighty Zulu Nation. As for the Big Park, it eventually became the place where Disco King Mario would eventually throw many of his early gigs.

I notice that you didn't differentiate between different groups of cacs which means recent newcomers like the Italians and Irish are grouped with those who came before them. So a cac who came in the 60's is not a guest, but a African or Jamaican breh is

It seems like some of the coli AA's only view Africans and Islanders as competition.

It's quite bizarre.

they guest too only OG stock whites ain't guests

Old Stock Americans, Old Pioneer Stock, or Anglo-Americans are people who are descended from the original settlers of the Thirteen Colonies,[1] of mostly British ancestry, who immigrated in the 17th and the 18th centuries.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

This fairytale of a cosmopolitan-cultural-melting-pot that is the envy of the international community certainly has its charms. And there is an element of truth to it. But it’s a story with many missing chapters. Just look back at the five waves of immigration in American history and you’ll agree it hasn’t all been about peace and harmony.

The first U.S. immigrants were known as the Clovis people and arrived 13,000 years ago from Asia. Their population numbers were small to begin with. But by the time the first white explorers arrived in 1492, the Native American population, in what is now the United States, had ballooned to somewhere between two and six million (numbers still contested among many scholars).

By 1910 that number had dwindled to 266,000. These statistics, however, are more accurate because they are the result of a national census. This drastic population decline was mainly caused by the introduction of European diseases. And war played a significant role as well.

The second wave, in the 17th and 18th century, consisted of a million Europeans, mostly British, in search of more land and better opportunities. With these white settlers came another half a million Africans, who were kidnapped to work as slaves in the original 13 American colonies.

After the American Revolution, and following a law by Congress in 1808, which restricted the importation of more African slaves, immigration slowed down considerably for another generation. It then picked up again in the 1840s and ’50s, when Germans, seeking a better life, and Irish, escaping a potato famine, both crossed the Atlantic in droves, until the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861.

The fourth wave, from 1892-1924—in which 14 million immigrants journeyed westward—was unprecedented. A drastic increase in American manufacturing at this time was one major attraction for immigrants from southern and eastern Europe seeking employment.

..so yeah, if you ain't amerindian or OG stock white, aframs are as american/foundational as you can get in the USA. If you're white with ancestors who came through ellis island in the late 1800's

All that howling and hollering at the moon and tomorrow will be the same as yesterday. nikkas on their hamster wheel shyt.

Which group of nikkas are you referring to specifically?

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Eveeybody reps our culture.
Our culture contributed HEAVILY to the only thing the "big island" exports.
Shout outs to LIL BRO count machuki, who heard AA jive djs and "invented" toasting.
Or the instrumental bed, aka jazz x rock x R&b.
We gave them that and they "ran" with it, like that keyboard preset called dancehall (yes, the genre's first riddim was a looped digital keyboard demo song)

All respect tho, nikkas getting this factual work today.
Notice how I didn't insult anybody's women or food. Only the things people bring up.
Their "gangsta" and music.
derivative subgenres.

Which group of nikkas are you referring to specifically?

Whichever group, or individuals, that is hurting and feeling underappreciated.
I won't even say group cause these one off nikkas are speaking only for themselves and not their sets.

Here's another thing these west "indians" like to do ESPECIALLY in NYC: Pump up and exaggerate there numbers on some one drop jim crow type shyt. You let these motherfukkers tell it, there are NO AAs in NYC or only like 100 in the whole city Even in Brooklyn, they only a dominate a few neighborhoods because they segregate themselves from AA's on some white flight type shyt lol like just remember the North Bronx hoods I mentioned earlier. Bed Stuy, Fort Greene, Coney Island, Queensbridge (I was there a few months ago it was fun), Brownsville, East New York, these boat boys don't really dominate like that. They majority AA. Damn sure don't dominate Harlem, Staten Island or the Bronx. It just makes them feel better to believe that there are no AA's in NYC for some weird caclike reason. Like I said they mostly stay in there lil majority west indian enclaves like flatbush (there are actually still some AAs there), crown heights, canarsie and a few others so of course it seems like everybody's Caribbean. AA's are in every minority neighborhoods by the way

Oh and here's a fun fact - a lot of these so called "west indians" have AA ancestry and relatives. Oops! But that's not exotic enough! Much more better to claim other ethnic groups white people and other minorities don't hate as much to look better to crackers and random immigrants down the street! Too pathetic.

No funny shyt, I know this "haitian" chick in Jamaica. Her Grandmother on her moms side is Haitian. That's as far as her west indian ethnicity goes. As if her majority AA ancestry is irrelevant. The shyt is glad I was raised with pride better than that. shyt is ridiculous but all I can do is laugh, I can't take people seriously thats like that. They go serious issues

Raised by a proud pure AA family from NYC family i'm blessed

That’s actually funny because the main people on this site walking around saying NYc is filled with foreigners are AAs who want to give themselves a reason to diss NYC since according to them NYC has no AAs or “disconnected AAs”

And foreigners in NYC don’t have to exaggerate their numbers .

People who come to NYC can clearly see the city is filled with people from the Caribbean. This ain’t the 1970s anymore and you seem like you are a hater

Btw most of the African American neighborhoods you named are mostly gentrified or filled with housing projects

Forte Green - gentrified
Coney Island - nothing but projects
Brownsville/ENY evenly split between West Indian and AA

The only hood worth mentioning is Bed Stuy.

Can’t even say Harlem cause Harlem is dead mixed with Africans and mad Dominicans

@Barnett114 its time to throw this thread in the bushes. These nikkas done spun a thread about media content creators into I don’t even know what anymore

You can’t have a conversation without clowns like @Indiglow Meta (R$G) @ATLANTA come running in beating their chests about nothing that doesn’t have anything to do with nothing. Insecure ass nikkas.

This thread ran its course

Is it really your country though?

yeah...outside of native americans, og stock white (not them ellis island whites). You can't get more american than aframs

The first impact of immigration is demographic. The 70 million immigrants who have arrived since the founding of the republic (formal records have only been kept since 1820) are responsible for the majority of the contemporary American population.[2] Most Americans have acquired a sense of historical continuity from America’s founding, but this is primarily the result of socialization and education, not descent. The one segment of the American population with the longest record of historical settlement are African Americans. Almost all African Americans are the descendants of seventeenth- or eighteenth-century arrivals.[3]

The Impact of Immigration on American Society: Looking Backward to the Future

I was reading somewhere about how slavery affected the American economy. It had numbers, and figures, and basically stated that it was because of slavery that the American economy grew to be what it is today. It also had a nice breakdown of reparations owed due to the money being generated by slavery. Does anyone have any links or resources about this?

The Impact Slavery Had on the American Economy

The most commonly used phrase describing the growth of the American economy in the 1830s and 1840s was “Cotton Is King.” We think of this slogan today as describing the plantation economy of the slavery states in the Deep South, which led to the creation of “the second Middle Passage.” But it is important to understand that this was not simply a Southern phenomenon. Cotton was one of the world’s first luxury commodities, after sugar and tobacco, and was also the commodity whose production most dramatically turned millions of black human beings in the United States themselves into commodities. Cotton became the first mass consumer commodity.

Understanding both how extraordinarily profitable cotton was and how interconnected and overlapping were the economies of the cotton plantation, the Northern banking industry, New England textile factories and a huge proportion of the economy of Great Britain helps us to understand why it was something of a miracle that slavery was finally abolished in this country at all.

Let me try to break this down quickly, since it is so fascinating:

Let’s start with the value of the slave population. Steven Deyle shows that in 1860, the value of the slaves was “roughly three times greater than the total amount invested in banks,” and it was “equal to about seven times the total value of all currency in circulation in the country, three times the value of the entire livestock population, twelve times the value of the entire U.S. cotton crop and forty-eight times the total expenditure of the federal government that year.” As mentioned here in a previous column, the invention of the cotton gin greatly increased the productivity of cotton harvesting by slaves. This resulted in dramatically higher profits for planters, which in turn led to a seemingly insatiable increase in the demand for more slaves, in a savage, brutal and vicious cycle.

Now, the value of cotton: Slave-produced cotton “brought commercial ascendancy to New York City, was the driving force for territorial expansion in the Old Southwest and fostered trade between Europe and the United States,” according to Gene Dattel. In fact, cotton productivity, no doubt due to the sharecropping system that replaced slavery, remained central to the American economy for a very long time: “Cotton was the leading American export from 1803 to 1937.”

What did cotton production and slavery have to do with Great Britain? The figures are astonishing. As Dattel explains: “Britain, the most powerful nation in the world, relied on slave-produced American cotton for over 80 per cent of its essential industrial raw material. English textile mills accounted for 40 percent of Britain’s exports. One-fifth of Britain’s twenty-two million people were directly or indirectly involved with cotton textiles.”


“First cotton gin” from Harpers Weekly. 1869 illustration depicting event of some 70 years earlier by William L. Sheppard. (Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs division)

And, finally, New England? As Ronald Bailey shows, cotton fed the textile revolution in the United States. “In 1860, for example, New England had 52 percent of the manufacturing establishments and 75 percent of the 5.14 million spindles in operation,” he explains. The same goes for looms. In fact, Massachusetts “alone had 30 percent of all spindles, and Rhode Island another 18 percent.” Most impressively of all, “New England mills consumed 283.7 million pounds of cotton, or 67 percent of the 422.6 million pounds of cotton used by U.S. mills in 1860.” In other words, on the eve of the Civil War, New England’s economy, so fundamentally dependent upon the textile industry, was inextricably intertwined, as Bailey puts it, “to the labor of black people working as slaves in the U.S. South.”
