So Kenyans, Ethiopians, 1st generation Nigerians born or that moved to the U.S. are not African Americans??
Really??
Oh I see their just black.........even though are more genealogically African than traditional African Americans.
See my point about racial definitions and constructs is that Amber Rose is hop scotching in and out of her "blackness", but she is by no means the only one.
That's my only point.
If Amber Rose is not black according to her own words, then cotdamnit, she's not black.....
If Rachel Dolezal, according to her own words..... and lifetime supply of tanning bronzer, is black.....then cotdamnit, she's black....

No, they are not. Hell, some of these Africans (not all) often go outta their to disassociate from African Americans aside from partaking in some parts of our Culture here and there. You gotta have Ancestral ties here that stretch that 400 year span of wicked fukkery in this country brought on by slavery and Jim Crow and the legacies these events have imprinted among African Americans.
The African American is culturally distinct from the African. We share many things yes, but African Americans also have quite a few things that set us apart from Africans. The African that got to stay in the Mother Continent never experienced what we did. Black South Africans are the ones that are closest to having a similar experience. Overall, African Americans are a separate Black ethnic group of our own at this point.
Go walk around in a major metropolitan area in this country where you’ll run into hella Africans like the DMV, NYC, ATL, Houston, Minneapolis, Charlotte, Philly, Bmore, Boston, Bay Area, etc. and find someone from Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Mali, Senegal, Gambia, Ivory Coast, Tanzania, etc. and ask them if they actually consider themselves African American, then report back to us
they're changing this for the 2020 census
This is where I stopped reading.
"No reason at all"..
Africans are the "root" of the division and not claiming any responsibility says it all.
It was all good until you started getting that AA resistance, where done being the welcome Matt for those ungrateful fool.
We have our own culture, history, we are our OWN GROUP!!! Not everyone can say I'm AA just because we share similar features and color.
If you are not a defendant of slavery in America, you are not African american
? You nikkas act like africans voted to have us shipped out,no it was decided by a dictatorship,and some africans sold other africans out for money. Some of us were stolen because whites would rather steal us than pay for us,or wanted more slaves than african leaders would allow to be taken. Show me where africans as a people,or africa as a country are benefiting from slavery?thats why this argument doesn't work the way it does with whites in america. African people don't owe you shyt,but mutual respect,and willingness to come together to topple white supremacy which both countries are suffering from. fukk those who don't have that mutual respect or willingness on either side imo.. Many africans percieve us through the same lense white supremacy tells them. Which is why I say AA's know better,we are the leading experts on white supremacy and white trickery.
where are your parents fromI am AA with two black parents,fukk what you talking about
I'm disingenious for pointing out your lack of consistency?you couldn't counter any of the hypocrisies that I pointed out.
where are your parents from
im from NYC. The biggest melting pot of the diaspora. Theres no bigger mash up of Aframs,caribbeans and Africans in the world
K.Michelle cant get a pass for this and she's as bad or worse than amber.Pot calling the kettle black.
K. Michelle declares love of white men: ‘I’m not really into black men’
