I'm currently in physical rehab, and I've always given the headnod/sup/how are you doing recognition to other people. There's another black person here that I see, and when I give the head nod to him he just looks at me funny, so for the new generational black people here, do you not give the head nod back, and if so, when did you start?
When do you think continential black people get the concept of the head nod/recognizing other black people in the states?

Recognizing others is what's universal not the head nod.
We on a island and we do the head nod

If you're being honest.
Yeah, I seen a breh walking randomly in Colombia and nodded and he did it back.
Random dudes from around the way nod when I nod back.
Yeah, "continental black people" do the nod.

If you think the ‘nod’ didn’t come from Africa

Maybe it’s because of something you have on you or how you look?
As in fresh from Africa."continential black people"
Okay, since that's the hang up, is there a reason for the lack of recognition?

What's up with all of these retards making threads today? 
How i look? Is there something about how someone black looks that would prevent recognition from others? I don't have that problem with most black people

So... I was a Pan Africanist in theory just over a decade ago, but what solidified it was so much of the stuff I'd see at this job with various people from various countries.
I remember one time this lady was talking to another lady, and Idk what they said but the way they laughed and dapped each other up
shyt was spooky. I gotta dig for it but I remember seeing a video during covid from some country modifying how they greet each other. Again and just think of shyt like Djembes vs beating on a table, or hambone. The overlap is undeniable once you start to look out for it.
But yeah, why didn't they nod back to OP? This is the problem with Pan-Africanism

Anecdotally, when I was in Japan I got head nods from most the black people I saw regardless of where they were from. Also I noticed gen z ain't on the head nod as much as my and older generations were. My age and older it's in the 90 percentile.
