It's really a both side thing tho. It's not exclusive to AA. Africans and Caribbeans do that s*** heavily too

he’s correct.
Nov 24, 2023·6 repliesImma be real, I've noticed African niggas in Europe or Africa love to look down on Black Americans and Black Caribbeans on some "Oh y'all aren't connected to your African ancestry" or "Y'all were the descendants of slaves" type s***. Which is hilarious to me on so many different levels
Every lil diaspora war I've seen online has always been started by some weirdo with a Nigerian, Ethiopian, or South African flag in their bio like it never fails lmao

While you are right, we also have to realize that just because certain words and phrases are used in specific countries/regions doesn’t mean that it will crossover into another.
You have to able to realize that our culture only extends as far as those it directly affects. I agree, she is coloured, to me, but that’s because I’ve grown up/lived in SA and grown to understand that’s why how mixed race people are referred to there. Having also grown up/lived in USA, I’ve never heard that same terminology used here EVER
Trying to use that terminology in a country where it has never really existed before is just going to create a whole set of new problems, as opposed to understanding how things are referred to within where you currently are.
It is nice to educate, but you also can’t be mad at someone for not knowing or denying something they are not used to, that is also still true, both things can exist.
You can absolutely get mad at someone attacking someone for identifying themselves in the way they culturally grew up knowing, especially when you can educated yourself for free.

Nov 24, 2023·1 replyStabane101that alot of American black ppl dont even know what has happened and whats going on to black people outside of America, we seen this with lack of support of black causes internationally, when the rest of us pull up to support your causes.
Most people don't know what the f*** is happening outside of their country unless it's getting global attention so attempting to just single out black people is ahowing your f***ing bias.
And your basing your assumption of off your on experiences. I am black and i know whats happening in sudan. There is a genocide happening there just like in gaza

and black Americans specifically with how the transatlantic slavery has tried and in many ways taken away the African identity to where most dont even know where they originate which was on purpose by their slavers and some enemy tribes that participated in selling
Now Black Americans can imagine how coloureds feel descended of slaves from all over Asia/Africa and rapist white colonist. while the rest of that country are indigenous Africans that been on that land forever that know their exact origins and speak their ancestors language.
You can see why they wouldn't identify as black, white, or Asian

Then she should stop performing on American tv shows and trying to push her song on American radio
She doesn’t have beef with America, it’s a difference in culture that people don’t seem to understand since the context of the word has been used differently

I don’t see why an American who only knows American perspectives of race wouldn’t apply that perspective in their labels though

Again man I'm always grateful for my Black American and Trini upbringing because that's what made me realize at a young age just how truly f***ed the African diaspora is as whole
