I didn't say it was impossible for black people of different ethnicities to work together that can happen but you would have to be completely naive to think we're all the same culturally:yeshrug:

Being born in the Tristate Doesnt make me Black American???

:why:

I just happen to have a carribean mother

U sound like an idiot

We are all the same...

NO.

Exactly. Black American means descendant of the enslaved here in America. You are a Caribbean-American - or 1st generation Caribbean-American.

African-American is a catch-all for everyone with Black skin tone - but I use it for African immigrants/1st/2nd gen.

It's not a diss. Our culture, families, traditions, what we were saw, were told - our experiences were different.

For Asians I think it's something like dark skin associated with poor nikkas. The lower class is always doing manual labor outside and shyt while the rich nikkas don't need to do that so they got the paler skin. Having dark skin and Asia is like rocking a polo without a logo or running around with Payless Shaq dunks or some shyt. It's associated with brokeness.

Dark skin is shytted on in the black community too. Cacs subconsciously believe darker skinned black folk are dumber and more likely to be violent. It's much worse for the women though. Dark-skinned women are shytted on like it's nothing and treated like they're ugly sometimes even if they're dimes :picard:. I think casual colorism has gotten worse in popular black culture in the past decade. Hella brehs now have a redbones, mixed bytches/pawgs only policy. :hhh: There are no contemporary dark-skinned or even brown-skinned female sex symbols like there were last decade. Who is the new era Bria Myles? :stopitslime: There ain't even a new era Esther Baxter and she was brownskinned. All of the women in videos, all of the instathots being lusted over on IG are all light-bright, biracial or PAWG Kim K clones. All of the major black female sex symbols (i.e. Beyonce, Rihanna) have had their skin, eyes and hair texture appear to be damn near white in photos and advertisements and arguably have undergone skin bleaching. :martin:

I have never met or saw a black person born in raised in America who looked like they bleached their skin. But I see brownskinned and darkskinned women hitting angles, lighting and using filters to appear lighter in pics on social media all the damn time. :mjcry: It's levels to this shyt.

Nah idk any AAs who would actually bleach their skin. Even when I was made fun of for being dark skin, I've never thought to myself, "Hmmm, I need to become lighter." My insecurities stemmed from being skinny. Never once thought about bleaching, nor did anybody I know.
Even when I use to feel low for being dark , bleaching never crossed my mind.

I love my dark skin

You take trolling and female biased rhetoric too seriously.

WHO GIVES A FUKK? :mindblown:

dude it's 2018......we live in a GLOBAL ECONOMY.......

if your can't transorm your "Cultural" ideals into being Financially Rewarding...

you're WASTING YOUR TIME ...

this is how these CRAKKKERS and JEWS been making so much money off of the 'CULTURE"....

Mofos worried about Culture vultures yet ain't making any moves to empower more of us to create generational wealth to fight off Gentrification and Monetization......

see at my business we took our CULTURAL IDEALS and turned them into = $$$

by focusing on the BOTTOM LINE not dumb shyt like ...."uh he an island boy i can't relate..." "uhh she a black girl from the states i can't deal with her"

:camby:

it's hard to NETWORK when you rely solely on cultural differences and don't know how to think of the bigger picture :manny:

This shyt is not a big a deal as being made out. Obviously you’ll have a few pockets of people like this but go to Africa and I would tell you over 95% of people don’t use this shyt. The western media of course will cling onto anything that makes them look good and others bad.
Propaganda to make black people believe there are more c00ns than there really is
