Why is s*** like this viewed as entertainment by whites

im in this online group w racist ass edgelords man

They be saying nigga and hella racial jokes. They’re all nerds and irl I wouldn’t even be in the same social circle or class as these weirdos but they helping my grade a lottt

But shi still makes my blood boil, im extremely proud and hv never experienced this all my yrs living in the US, only here in canada

US with all its problems white people there kno wayyyy better than to say nigga in presence of a black person. I never experienced any overt sus s*** like this

The movement - Has been corrupted kind of by xenophobia and buying into American exceptionalism.

The term - Okay. I prefer DACS (descendant of American chattel slavery) & FBA (Foundational Black American) as terms. Nothing wrong with the focus on ethnic group either we've operated so long without doing so and it has been to our detriment in a lot of ways.

It's a sign of how embedded white supremacy is.

Frantz Fanon was obsessed with white women and broke down a reasoning why Black men would be as well.

im for it

it's about time we distinguish ourselves from other black groups(lord knows they do it unless it is time to get some cool points) as we have our own issues and we need help specifically for us and us only.

Someone has to fight for us and I'll take ADOS over africans and caribbeans that s*** on us one day and then wanna be us the next

I just don't like when the ADOS discourse turns into closeted patriotism.

I don't like the use of the US flag either. We have our own flag that we should be using tbh, I wish we had it as an emoji . The Black American heritage flag.

1of44 pages. Anyone know the significance of that? 💪🏿

Hey guys, this is a huge generalization but work with me on this lol.

We know that the transatlantic slave trade didn’t just involve our ancestors being removed from Africa. Some of us were in the America’s as well as Britain and various parts of Europe. I’m mainly speaking on how one carries themselves.

I’ve noticed brothas that have more of a European last name, tend to dress similarly. Fashionable but European fashionable. Example the nba panel. Imo Pierce and Jay Williams ancestors were from the British Isles. Another player I thought could be the case was Chauncey Billups. Looking up the etymology of his last name, Billups is the last name of the Moors of Wales!

APTTMH for showing me this. I’m still on the fence on Jalen Rose. Im thinkin guys like Lebron, KCP! Jae Crowder, Rondo etc are from West Africa.

Worth reading?

As a mixed folk that last page was hard to read.

The mindset that you have to marry black to be pro-black just seems so outdated and forced to me.

Let me give you an Afro-European perspective.

My father initially came here to work and support his family back home in Africa, but he then fell in love with my white mother.

She taught me to always treat everyone with love and respect, but also how to fight and how to use my voice for good.

But all this goes to waste because she’s white?

What exactly is considered being pro-black if it’s not raising a respectful black kid?

Is it having a black kid just for the sake of it being black?

I’m half black, but I could be doing more to benefit the black community than someone who is fully black and doesn’t give a s***, no?

All I’m trynna say is that interracial relationships can be just as beautiful and “beneficial” to society as fully black relationships.

We know not all white people are the devil and not every black person is an angel, so why do we create boundaries where they aren’t needed, instead of accepting life as it comes?

Just my two cents.

I’ve been reading this book about the negros in Europe’s 1600s. Realizing that not every black American took on the name of their slave owner. The percentage of us inheriting their last name is actually smaller than I thought. Example because the Welsh didn’t participate in slavery, how does our kin gain the last names such as Jones, Jenkins, Jackson, Washington, Billups, Williams etc.

Our folk also have Scottish last names as well. Black Europe was definitely strong before slavery.

I brought this three months ago. Imma try to get at Least half way through it during thanksgiving time

Problack = marrying black there is no exceptions.

Didnt know this thread existed, nice

People will scream about being pro-black and still treat their partners like s*** so I would honestly ignore any gatekeeping when it comes to uplifting and doing right by people of African/Carribean descent. The obession with "who's blacker than who" and "who can prove their blackness" are tired racial competitons that lead to no where except a crab-in-the-bucket mentality and imo are symptoms of brown/black skin being treated as an anomaly instead of something normal. Africa is the second largest landmass on the planet with the second largest population behind Asia. Not everyone in Africa has brown/black skin but over there and in a lot of nations it's just normal and they also don't think in American racialised terms. Heck, in some African countries you'll find people without an ounce of European in them who have simillar skin tones to a lot of "mixed" people.

You said your father was from Africa? Which nation? Get in touch with your national roots on both sides of your family as much as possible and enjoy that s***. If people here or elsewhere won't like or accept you because of your parents union then that's okay, leave them to their beliefs as you don't need their acceptance to contribute positively to your family, friends, community and to dismantling racism and the effects or racism in it's entireity. You'll find that how s*** is in America and in parts of Europe just isn't the same depending on where you're from in Africa. Over there the schism between groups is dependent on nation/ethnicity, you'll find that people won't even label themselves as being black lol.

🥱🥱🥱, good thing u don’t have to be pro-black

of course its the niggas within proximity to whiteness saying you can be with a non black and still be pro-black

Can you explain ?

Wild

Big facts on the first part of your message.

My father is from Gambia. It’s always said that we are descendants of Kunta Kinte, because he was born in the same village as my family, but no one knows if it’s 100% true. I still read roots as a kid and it fascinated me. I’ve been to Gambia twice and want to go there again soon, even though part of my African family doesn’t accept me for being white.

I still love them because I know they’re just stuck in their own ways, making them blind to love. Funny thing is, my grandpa (who was the only one to accept me and my mother) was actually blind.

I try not to let this bother me as much irl tho. I have a lot of black friends, who never thought of me as white or anything. Really, no one besides niggas itt would actually ever call me white.

Idc if white people don’t accept me, but hearing this from s*** black men just doesn’t sit right with me. Like I chose to be only half black Iol.

But hey, there’s not much I can do other than to offer a new perspective.

I fw you for keeping it respectful ✌🏽

Well, what else am I supposed to do? Not like I had any say in which color my parents gonna have????? Lmfao

You stuck in your ways and so proud about it, it’s pathetic.

You don’t gotta agree with me fam, that’s cool.

But either respond to me foreal or just leave it be my nigga. Replying with emojis and then saying s*** like this just ain’t it.

i understand his point although i dont agree.
pro-blackness is more about action and what you do for the community.
and with them saying that having black babies is part of being pro black the children you have with a non black man or woman in almost all societies will be considered black so i dont really get the point.
