Cape Verdean people I see online often... trouble me.
I've seen videos of young men & women who are Cape Verdean claiming not to be Black, yet they are as dark as any African from the Motherland.
A very perplexing racial identity issue, indeed...![]()
a number of years ago, this sista with Cape Verdean heritage talked about that issue...
lol....remember, Amber Rose's mother is Cape Verdean and basically Amber Rose considers herself white.....Yes.
That's exactly what I was referring to.
What are they teaching (or not teaching) their children over there about their African origins?
And why does it seem that so many of them are so willing to denounce their own rich, African blood...?![]()

We are not gonna fight that war. If they want to go, let them go. They give
Africa nothing, and if what you are saying is so, they would contribute division
if given an opportunity. Say what you want about Ethiopians, or even people
who live in the Sahel, who might be part Berber, the only thing they have ever
claimed, or wanted, to be is African... So if this little insignificant Island wants
to be European, we will allow the EU to come and throw a chain around it
and tug it to Europe..
You can meet Moroccan, Algerian, Libyan or even Egyptian cacs- to a man,
every single one says that he or she is an African....
All of them are adults just like you are. If they want to be white, then fuck them.No my friend.
You're gravely mistaken...
We're not in any position to "allow" Cape Verde to do anything. (Statements like that comes across as unearned hubris on your part).
Nor is it not some "little insignificant Island". It's very clearly an island full of people of African heritage and descent.
Unfortunately though, far too many of them seem to be deluding themselves about the value of their racial heritage or are blind to its significant importance...![]()

As Mike Tomlin so correctly said, "We need volunteers, and not conscripts"...
If they say that they are Europeans, then, fuck, yes they are.
They want to go; let them go. It is not our lot to sift through the lot and find "good ones""Just 'cuz you put a cat in the oven, don't make it a biscuit"- Wesley Snipes in White Men Can't Jump. (1992)
Not everything is as cut and dry as that, my man. And Black people here and the world over ARE indeed worth the effort.![]()
