I only really see this type of thing online or with young children
Look at these young children that Im quoting below:

Even the OP who talked about one black group dissing the other ended up being a hypocrite and doing it himself. :mjlol:
African Americans will kill their own just because they don't live on the same block and you think they're going to show love to black people from another country? :what:

It does even take that... They'll be ready to pop off if somebody accidentally steps on their J's in a club...
Same goes for you African Americans. I don't fukk wit people whose ancestors allowed themselves to be enslaved either.

The issue at hand is people dont understand Race,Ethnicity, and Nationality.

"We" are all Black, Black Race has tons of different ethnic group, and a Black Person could be from different Nations.

Black people are the only ones who were victims of the Transatlantic slave trade thus we cannot use the same "guidelines" as other groups when it comes to describing ourselves as no other group has had a disruption of the magnitude as black people (specifically those of West African ancestry).

That said, Black Americans relate to each other no matter their ethnicity, a Black kid with Jamaican parents that was born in Harlem will relate to an AA more than he would a Black kid born in Kingston, because even if his parents passes down Jamaican culture, that child is still a Black American and takes on the issues other Black Americans face.

The issue with Immigrants is that they were born into one culture and moved to another culture and think they are a Black Jamaican living in America thus the issues of Black America does not impact them which is false. So while the immigrant may not understand the cause of the issues in the land they are in, it would be wise to honor what is happening because the same way a Black Jamaican can criticize Black Americas (in particular AAs) about why they have issues, a Black American can look at the state of Jamaican and make the same criticism.

The issue globally is white supremacy had created the narrative in every nation that the black natives there brought their issues on themselves, and people who immigrate to these lands think of it as being fact since these narratives are typically the only introduction and knowledge they have of people from those nations.

I feel what your saying.
But nikkas legit dont start this shyt until an african-american identifies as an african-american:dead:

A jamaican is allowed to be jamaican. A haitian A Haitian. But black americans defining ethnicity and culture bothers people for some reason:heh:

If other blacks identify with AA culture, than let it be that.
But these people have to understand theres a specific group of people associated with that

Being born or living in Brooklyn doesn't make you a African American.

I`m not sure who you are referring to.

A person born in America by Jamaican parents would be seen as an American by his family how ever you want a put it, this person being a Black American does not make him an African American.

On the flip side you will have an AA try to tell someone "They aren't Black" because they aren't from America because people ignorantly think Being Black only = Being AA.

And African American is an African American but they are not the only ones who can be Black Americans as Black American = A Black Person from America and not an Ethnic Group.

I never seen a Haitian say they are African American so I dont see who's having the issue with Blacks native to America wanting to own the Ethnicity of African American.
