somalis, africans, jamaicans, haitians etc. will make sure that it is known that they're anything but african american like it gives them points or some s*** from yts or in America period
coon ass niggas, poc solidarity is a farce
Part of it is because they dont wanna lose their ethnic identity and their culture and get it lost in "the melting pot".
My main issue is when Caribbean niggas try and tell AA they need to find "their roots". Or act like Jamaica or whatever is their native island.
Like yall are the same as AA's. West africans that got sold into slavery. Yall just went to haiti, DR, Trinidad, etc instead of USA

When I see Jamaicans, they have a lot of pride about Jamaica because of how it’s THEIR island now and not the colonizers. Also because of Marcus Garvey, they have a lot of Pan African thought relating to freeing yourself of colonialist trappings.

Bro why are u niggas so reductive when it comes to history? Why do u want to claim history and identities to which u have zero connection?
Like its not even on some racist s***, like I said I have nothing against african americans. Its just weird. Also I agree, there is no such thing as poc solidarity
but the ideate of asianness encapsulates both as much as anybody would like to deny it
it's for this reason that the term "asian-american" exists and was created in the 70s by asian marxists with diasporas from everwhere within the continent.
there is undeniably multiple experiential, historical and conceptually distinct features to determine that "asian"-ness exists and as such it encapsulates both pakistanis and koreans
what is the ideate of asianess that covers both south asians and east asians ?
other than being brought together in a shared history of colonialism from europeans, though i do 100% agree for complete liberation of asia not just political self determination but economic as well, asia is going to have to work together but as it exists i don’t think there is a shared identity of asianess.
Even each nation in asia, there liberation for political self determination was different in India there’s the myth of the peaceful revolution that plays a big part in indian national identity while China had to go through a very self reliant violent revolution. I do know that the anti-imperialist policies of the many post war decolonized nation did bring many asian nations to work together however that was just simply geopolitical alliances rather than a cultural intermingling of the different nations
yeah he blocked that Somali guy has worms in his brains unfortunately
Blocked him last month for being a regime supremacist

Its just weird from an african american perspective too bro.
Like take affirmative action in american universities for example. Did u know that the overwhelming majority of those who benefit from affirmative action in universities are recent african immigrants?
So for example if I was american I could profit from that even though we never went through slavery and even sold other africans. Even worst, niggas from senegal and benin profit from that s*** when these niggas are the descendant of the people who sold y'all
while african americans almost dont benefit from that s*** at all

Thats wild. I never thought about that s*** like that

This is because Immigrants normally have more money before they come here dont fall for his s***. And they started to discriminate against asians because they were benefitting too much

While this is true, I don't blame Africans for taking opportunities offered to them in the US.
The problem lies with the governments systemic racism against Black Americans and how they choose to frame Black people from other countries. It's model minority s***.
They just met in the supreme court about affirmative action, one of the speakers specifically said descendants of slaves shouldn't get scholarships but immigrants should. The blame should be on the government.
Thats wild. I never thought about that s*** like that
It's why this black s*** is so rétarded
Think about it bro, at the end of the day these white niggas only bought y'all. They essentially only transformed y'all from african slaves to american slaves. Meanwhile niggas like @JayXCIX ancestors literally went throught the jungle to chase your ancestors and transformed them from free men to slaves.
But now these niggas can come to America, blend with u and claim black bc of this weird obsession with skin color.

Nah you really just a hater. Niggas like a African Charleston White. This level of reductionism of is insane. You definitely a part of the problem

affirmative action aside. I actually agree with some of what hes saying ngl.
The way I see it personally tough, is that we are all the same race. But within that race we have different ethnicities and cultures some widely different from each other.
Like black to me is just a term to describe people from west, central, and east africa. It doesnt really have much more meaning beyond that.
Like how you got your eastern, western, etc europeans. They are all white people but within that they have their own distinct ethnicity, culture, history etc.

I'm not even hating at all in that post though, Im just pointing out how rétarded this concept of blackness is dawg
Like why are ghanain-americans treated the same as black americans, it's f***ing weird

what about southern africa, Madagascar, and tbh, this is off topic but I think that Aboriginal Australians + Melanesians shouldn't be left out of Black conversations either.
@ismail_mire
Exactly, I agree with that. The black stuff goes as deep as a random physical feature, that's it.
But see I say that s*** and suddenly its all about how im a self hater and how somalis are racist and s***, it's annoying dawg

You're an american from the south?

I'm from New York, my family is from the south/appalachia.

The entire concept of race is ed in itself. Being a nationalist is even more ed. And being an engine for the enduring impacts of colonialism by constantly talking down on other Africans is the most ed.

Yeah I dont agree with the whole, we need to be on some kumbaya hands joined together s*** because we are from or descendants of people from the same continent.
Thats being said, me as a AA I fw all "black" people from around the globe. South americans, Caribbeans, niggas in europe, etc. I wanna see niggas do well cause I know we are among the most hated everywhere we go

Bro our hate of east africans has nothing to do with "the enduring impacts of colonialism", we hated these niggas before the euros ever came
The entire history of the Adal and Ajuuran sultanates were about getting these niggas up outta here

Regardless of history and how you feel other people are treating it ITT.
It is def weird to say “I’m not black nigga I’m Somali”
