Do you agree? We are africans. [AWOOOO]

[Willyum]

I claimed that African shit when I was young..... Then I went to Paris!
The REAL Africans, my so called brothers, have treated worse than any other culture I have ever come across.

Of all the cultures on this planet, every one of them took thousands of years to evolve and gain respect. 'Them people' (everyone that took part in...) broke us down to less than nothing, wiped our religion, wiped our self respect, wiped trust in each other, wiped our language, beat, raped and killed us.... And in Less than 400 years we became the most influential, most talented, most inventive, strongest/enduring culture on this planet. To the point that their kids want to BE us!

I'm a Black American!!!
Ain't nobody on this planet been strong like us!

I got to support that. I liked it so much I bought it on Itunes.

 

[Willyum]

And in Less than 400 years we became...

Correction... I said "in less than 400 years", Most of that time was the break-down time. Our rebuild time must actually be less than half of that.

 

[Big Tex]

Nonetheless, we are still Africans by blood

Every human on Earth is African by blood...

There are a few comments in here about folk not identifying with Africa because of negative encounters they've had with African immigrants. Where's the logic in that? I'm willing to bet that you've all had MANY more negative encounters with American Blacks so do you not identify with us as well?

Many Africans have a distorted view of America and believe that we have not progressed because we are lazy. They do not understand the psychological and socio-economical barriers that children of the slave trade are still struggling with to this day.

Instead of denouncing Africa because you've encountered a few delusional African immigrants, next time try educating them brother. White folks worse nightmare would be for us all to unite and realize our true status as the world Majority.

I'm from New Jersey not Africa the continent.

We wouldn't want you, and only a small part of your ancestry is from New Jersey, the rest of you if from China. You look like the Chinese who used to be on 2 Live Crew... Inbred mongrel..

PREACH!! I notice a lot of BGOLs are emotional and make rash generalizations because of it.

BGOL is like the black community. Shit, look at how many blacks are in jail/prison for reacting off their emotions rather than logic?

Deepest post in this thread. I can understand those Africans who had very bad experiences with black Americans but to not like Black Americans just because. I say fuck them.

CO-SIGN! There is a point where u evolve into something else.. We may have started out african.. But we have mixed with so many other races over the years (white, native american and so on).. Do we look like Africans??? No! You can tell the difference... We are NOW BLACK AMERICANS.... Nothing more and nothing less.. And if thats not enough for you.. Then god help you...

I love my ancestors. With that said,(sigh), no we're not African. We come from a background of CACs raping the African female slaves. We really don't even look like our African brothers and sisters. We share complexion and hair type, but facial features are totally different. It's like comparing Chinese to Filipinos. And for the record, I fucking hate it when a muthaphucka call me African-American. I'm not from Africa, neither is my father, mother or their parents. So if I'm an African-American, whatthe fuck do you call someone fresh out of Africa with American citizenship? I'm an American.

Then what are we?

We don't look like which African brothers and sisters? Ethiopians? Nigerians? Ghanians? All Black people in America don;t even look alike.. so this is some ignorant shit to say....

We share complexion and hair type, but facial features are totally different. It's like comparing Chinese to Filipinos.

Dont both these groups consider themselves to be "Asian"? How is that different than us being "African"?

And for the record, I fucking hate it when a muthaphucka call me African-American.

Why?

I'm not from Africa, neither is my father, mother or their parents. So if I'm an African-American, whatthe fuck do you call someone fresh out of Africa with American citizenship? I'm an American.

Your ancestry is.. you just haven't been educated enough to know it...

What do you call someone fresh out of Africa? You call them African.. regardless of what country they are citizens of.

 

[SaKem]

Now we can see why our communities are so fucked. imo

That exactly why, we have no identity at all. We just run amok.

Totally different huh? Ur lost. The majoirty of African Americans aren't mixed. About 20% have white in thier background, and The percentage of African Americans with Native American Mixture is Very low. In the single digit percentages.

African or African American?

If the guy to the right had an accent would you not think he's directly from Africa?

African or African American?

If these women had Baby phat on who could tell the difference?

Danny Glover Looks more "african" than this brotha here.

 

[divine]

Oh so you agree that you are African, you are just afraid white people will round you up and send you back if you tell them you are African.. as if they don't already know where they kidnapped you from.

How do you think your point of view has been influenced, since Kindergarten? You can't hide being African by using the word "American" that not your race/ethnicity. That's your Nationality.

 

[divine]

...and i dont hear billy bob callin himself a euro-american

You are right, they don't put American at the end of it...

Italians living in America call themselves Italian. Chinese people living in American call themselves Chinese. Koreans call themselves Koreans. Puerto Ricans call themselves Puerto Ricans.. and guess what, Puerto Rico is owned by America! Cubans in America call themselves Cubans. Why is your black ass afraid to call a spade a spade.. no pun intended?

And mexicans call themselves Mexicans. I dated a Mexican girl for years, they wouldn't ever use a weird term, or "Mexican American" or any shit like that. They said they were mexican. I also noticed they had more unity than blacks on average. Although they still have gang violence and what not themselves. Africans in America hate being African because we've bee taught it's a horrible a savage place, and after after 22 years of being taught that in school and general society, or however old you you end up believing it.
