Why do African americans rep America so much?

[intruder]

I laughed when i saw that too.

 

[Luke Cage]

It literally says in the op that it's the same as white Americans claiming to be american.

This still my country. I was born here, i'm prolly gonna die here, my ancesters have been born and died here for 100's of years.
My fam has shed blood on battlefields from the civil war to the gulf war. I'm not finna let somebody else claim what we made.
That's just p*ssy to me. It you was born in Africa and some white people came and colonized would you just be like fukk it, you can have this.

I dont know, B. I was in London for a bit and while i ersonally loved the place and would move there in a heartbeat the local friends i made there always remind me that this aint sweet.

I was staying in Reading for a bit but would often hang out in various parts like Camden (near the market), Shoreditch areas and other various parts. I met these two ugandan chicks there and they introduced me to a lot of other folks. As good as i looked to me at the time they cautioned me that racism is pretty much the same if not worse there.

And i never said people because of discrimination. It's just that THE AVERAGE person's life in some of those african countries makes them willing to overlook things like discrimination because they feel a life with more access to quality jobs FOR THE AVERAGE person, access to education FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON in American and other predominantly white countries is worth the hassle of dealing with discrimination.

Breh you dont think i want to fukking go back home? YOu think i love dealing with fukking americans 24/7? Like i told my homie let me win the lottery right now or even buld my business to the point where i can bring in the amount that i feel i can live on happily wihtout having to be here and i'd be on the first plane going home, B. I dont really care for this place but i have a vested interest in its well being since that's what's paying right now ad that's where i lay my head at night. But dont ever confuse it with love. Immigrants come here seeking a better life and dont give a fukk about the discrimination they face because for that particular average joe, life in these conditions is still better than back home.

I could live extremely well on my tiny wage if I take the money to morocco. The money will go 10x longer. A coffee is like .10pence but in england it's 2 pound. Thats like a 200 percent price difference for a coffee. Imagine the rest of the shyt. But in not going to live in morocco. I'm way too comfrtable inmnn england. It's so spilled here. But America is a different story actually. It is a shythole compared to the uk. So I'm not sure what to think.

I'm not sure that analogy makes sense. Thats like a completely different scenario.

UK aint no roses either but you can believe what you wanna believe.

It does to me, cause i've always been here.Never been to any other country. I'm not about to let some racist chase me off to some foreign country and then turn around and try act like I'm being "militant" by running away. This whole way of thinking is just some cowardly shyt imo. You White folks would really be mad at the idea that they got to benefit from our work for centuries only for us the leave and let them have the country in the end?

It absolutely is compared to America. The problems here aren't with race. They are with freedom. You can't do a lo in this country because the laws are so strict you get fined for just looking the wrong way. You need car insurance to even be on the road legally. You have to park in certain places or you get a fine or clamped. The majority of English stores close very early. Like at 5pm in the daytime early. Just things like that. There's so many rules and regulations is not fun. And the people as and result of that are very reserved and live in this box so to speak that all these rules have out them in. Thats the problem with the uk. Not the racism. The racism you get in the uk is just verbal abuse from low class English scum. You don't have institutionalused racism and that while piston pipeline system for blacks and minorities.

 

[Rekkapryde]

we built America.

/thread.

 

[Aimé]

This is our country.

We built it.

We gave it style.

We make the economy go.

Without Black Americans. America not America.

It's ours

this is so non constructive.. i cant even
are you being serious? you dont even have an ounce of power to enrich yourself (black america) and ONLY yourself within your beloved america.
respectfully you say these things like these are facts.
you (we) should focus on international economic alliances in stead of reppin countreis that dont give a damn about you or your community

OK I understand the analogy now. I was confused at first. So like when arabs colonised morocco and all the native moroccans left because the arabs were racist to them.

 

[Aimé]

I have no allegiance to this place, our ancestors may have built it but their work also allows us to decide whether we want to live in this shythole or not. I choose the latter.

REAL shyt

Why do you think black people from all these african countries sometimes leave their homes or sell everything they have back in their homelands to use the money to move to countries like the US, or UK in search of a better life and better opportunity?

Sure among the people in these countries there are some elites and even upper middle class people that are living good lives but the average black american wouldnt trade places with the average Ugandan living in Uganda or the average Haitian in Haiti
I didnt think so

Yall always quantifying how good African Americans have it in U.S. in monetary terms when in reality WE LOST A LOT to gain this so called economic advantage.

We lost our languages, our cultures, and most of us have no clue where we originated from. Theres a price to paid for that level of assimilation. At least those Ugandans have a shared LANGUAGE and CULTURE in a homeland they can truly say they originated from.

I do call America my home but trust it ain't easy. I wish I could connect with my homeland like alot of other black ppl do in this world. I can't even imagine living in a country where majority of the ppl look like me

:dafuq:You act like we out here singing ‘I’m proud to be an American’ or something like that. We black Americans don’t rep our country we rep our cities. Our home towns & the neighborhoods we come from. You don’t see no black Americans out there shouting: USA! USA!! Never that. So let’s close the thread here and have you take a seat. The ONLY time you’ll black Americans repping the country is during the Olympics. Dass eet
