    Imma 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

    This is true and they’re idiots as well, if they can’t understand that most Americans don’t know their heritage because of 400 years of slavery . They deserve to be ignored , they also like to say black Americans don’t have culture which is a lie lol. Black American culture is the most duplicated culture in the world , it’s sad they haven’t been compensated for it but yea

    if we can take back the N word here in America they can take back coloured in SA. it’s not like they identify as white, which some people are acting like that’s what they mean when they don’t identify as black.

    …that’s not even remotely comparable…

    Lemme summarize that situation for you the best i can, alot of folks know about the situation with the transatlantic slave trade etc but most people just don't get how there isnt an importance of even finding your African roots(people have do this before and got connected to there african tribes) and also the negative African stereotypes that are perpetuated that side by black folks.

    Trevor Noah would he considered black by most in USA and Bi racial to others.

    You see it's a bit weird cause biracial in America means white and black parents, but in sa, colored people are a people whose race is a little bit of everything in SA context, but Steve Biko considered colored people and black people a collective black people, hence colored niggas can say nigga which doesn't really matter back there

    Nobody says this find your roots bullshit to Brazilian and Colombian niggas. It’s mostly towards black Americans and sometimes here and there they’ll throw it at a Caribbean nigga

    This whole thread is just a thinly veiled attempt to s--t on Americans.

    Its an American organization that dictates in America not the rest of the world

    There’s heavy jazz influences on amapiano, the chord progressions are often similar to r&b. It’s the rhythms and percussion that are unique and not American but the influence is clear

    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

    Its not the case here the gp is well informed about international news

    Different racial conventions exist in different social frameworks

    Different labels exist, as a result

    Boy, niggas were playing house before amapiano which evolved into this, black coffee is an OG of house music, then even before that it was kwaito, there's a history there if you were to take a moment but I'ma leave you ignorant

    I mean I think I still disagree on the invalidity of Americans commenting on her race from an Americans perspective

    It’s kinda hard to have different standards overlap when they can contradict each other
