Why do African americans rep America so much?

[intruder]

Dude u just don't get it, and I understand because ur not black. Homeland as in the country u came from where most of the citizens there resemble u. A homeland is a country where U ARE NOT A MINORITY.

I grew up in Georgia/South Carolina and I will always call this place home, but as u know even with our numbers here in the south we are still a minority.

It's a spiritual thing. Yes we're all under white supremacy but damn as a black American we do get short changed when it comes to repping our "home" country. Alot of conflicted/ mixed emotions that I don't think anyone else can understand but us.

Oh I understand you, breh. But what I also need you to understand is that there is a certain level of poverty that is not even imaginable to you but still exists.

• Where women cant even afford an abortion and give birth to a child only to abandon it in the street or "pass it onto someone" who uses said child as their own personal maid/slave until it becomes an adult and moves on to just live in the streets of a 3rd world country where there are no homeless shelters and soup kitchen.
• Where over 70% of a population is illiterate.
  
• Where unemployment rate is in the 70%-80%s WHILE there is no "government assistance" or free schools for your kids or financial aid if you happen to be one of the few that finishes school.

At that level of poverty, understand that you wouldnt give half a fukk about "hoemeland". THAT is why these people are willing to leave what you think is their homeland, some leaving their kids behind to risk their lives on rafts if the minimal price they have to pay is just deal with some racism. I can see how when you have these basic essential things you have access to, you can then have time to be nostalgic about being a minority. I get it. But understand that those that have that "luxury" of not being a minority in their homeland as you perceive it see no value in it while starving and would give it all up to switch places with you because at that stage it's survival mode.

Most of us still have a plantation mentality and a very weak ethnic and national identity. Our national consciousness is extremely low, the understanding that we comprise a separate nation of people and are in need of national liberation is lost on most of us.

Why do Moroccan Euorpean immgrants like Europe so much? But to answer your question because we built America.

UK, Ireland, Germany, Canada, Brazil, certain parts China and certain parts of Africa treat us far better than America and that's saying a lot.

NO, they fukk they don't.
Black people don't own shyt here outside of a Small Town in Nova Scotia called North Preston.
and those are the descendants of African Americans.
These island nikkas are service industry filling, corporate tokens, and (the few and far between) struggling small business owners.
There is no "black elite" here...or any "affluent black areas"...nor are there in any of those other countries.

black folks seem to be the only group preoccupied with repping a location im blaming hip hop

Dap/undap cause it’s not hip hop to blame for repping our location it’s just pride in repping the place that helped mold and shape who we are because of the culture around us.

What has Jethro ,who fukks his cousin and lives off of foodstamps in Alabama, done to be more American than me?

America economy directly built by Blacks. Without chattel slavery, most of what we see would be worthless

Being somebody's bytch and told where to sleep, shyt and eat for 400 years is not 'building'.

Black people need to get out of that idea.

Hmm I don't know... Maybe because we're American

We rep America because we actually champion its message. We are a people who actually believes in liberty and justice for all, and treating others the way you want to be treated. We call America on its bullshyt. We speak on criminal justice reform and unfair policing tactics and a myriad of other things. Its almost as if America was founded on our actual creed, and the white man and Rome hijacked it and only profess it, but dont live by it.

Everybody else just wants to come here and take advantage of what America has to offer while shytting on us.
