I went on that chicks twitter and saw this

This is super weird man, I don't even know how to feel about this s*** anymore. Im overwhelmed

You’ve got it wrong my dawg this one is really one of the worst movements amongst our people when you realize it’s just a race to the bottom

It only exists for the sole purpose of sowing division, like I’m really struggling to find any net gain to be had here. It’s not like it’ll provide distinguishable reparations nor any form of legitimization within the system. Niggas is fighting to wear different jerseys in the same sick, twisted game while making an ass out of themselves in the process

of course

Bro we wouldn’t be asking for a different jersey if niggas wouldn’t keep joining the team and saying our team is bullshit

So many of the types of chicks from all races lol

@cryforhell I already talked about pan africanism a couple pages ago. I’m not approaching the topic without any nuance.

I mean he did but who wasn’t in the 90s biggie remind me of my uncle same everything even say suck my d*** in every convo when he’s mad lmao that’s just Brooklyn

But na you’re right no sense to divide

Honestly tapping you back in @insertcoolnamehere because I feel like we really didn’t rap about the s***

Also I don’t like how they try to pin “African booty scratcher” as an American thing because Caribbean immigrants in the UK would call people that too

Just a matter of perspective, don’t let your anecdotes or insane radicals online blind u from what’s really real

Take me for example, my parents are Nigerian but I was born and raised in the west, it’s pretty much all I’ve ever known. Like a nigga walks, talks and looks black as f*** lol, dreads, tats and all, not to mention I have an English first name. With that being said, I’ve experienced visceral levels of xenophobia from AA people and that s*** used to confuse the hell outta me and make me feel displaced at times so it really goes both ways in regards to the prejudice

Regardless that never colored my views on AA as a whole, I still identify with the culture and most of the first-gens I know do too 🤷🏾‍♂️

Don’t let pompous African aunties and uncles fool yall behind closed doors it’s a lot of AA worshipping 🤫

I'm all for black/african American folks to identify with & have their own unique cultural experience acknowledged

I think it's a case of 'BLM movement' vs 'BLM the organisation that ripped people off', I'm all for black/african Americans receiving overdue respect, dignity, no longer receiving all the ridiculous hate that get, etc. The majority of the folks engaging with the topic in here are speaking in good faith & with genuine reason to feel slighted.

But back to ADOS & FBA
The issue is both of these movements were started by people acting in bad faith. & it's bleeding into the actions and words of some of the people who follow the doctrine of these two particular groups.

But your post is definitely valid criticism of Tariq's FBA & Carnell's ADOS, both are grifters
we know that the bad actors like them will take money to sell out their people
& also valid criticism of how the higher powers will use these movements to sow division, folks will sell out their people for money. Also we've seen Tucker Carlson & other alt rigjt folks bigging up FBA, while still hating black people but wanting to mess with folks

We hear these grifting prominent voices who use every news story like 'look, more money going to other countries that could be going to the black community' without realising that foreign aid is not just money being given to other countries & it actually doubles as welfare for American corporations etc.

But really though... how are folks talking about who gets the money before any promise has been made? Acting like it's a 'yeah we've decided on who is delineated, so we get the money right now, right?'

Black/African Americans need to be given compensation & overall there needs to be a revolution. folks shouldn't just stop short at being on equal playing to white capitalists

Boyz In The Hood came out in 1991 tbf
Folks worldwide saw that scene near the start of the film

Could've been influenced by that too
(Not blaming anyone for it )

Yeah ur right lol

I mean I hear you. And I think your perspective is valuable and I wish you didn’t go through that xenophobic s*** as a kid. It’s not the way it really isn’t. Don’t get me wrong despite my feelings on Black Americans getting their own specific ethnic identity, the only we will be free across the diaspora is through unity (said this pages ago).

But your experience still is completely entirely foreign to my experience (and not in a derogatory way). You’re first gen. I don’t know what it’s like to balance my parents home culture with the American experience. I imagine depending on your parents you’re probably bilingual to some extent or at least have been exposed to your mom’s/dad’s ( I don’t know if your parents are the same tribe or it’s a mix like Hausa/ Igbo) language from Nigeria. I don’t know what it’s like to be traveling with family and having to deal with my parents being in a different line than me if we’re coming back abroad. These are all things unique to you that should be highlighted in way that paints that. It’s to much reductionism of oh i have a “normal black experience in America” when that’s often not completely true or the case:

Again differences should not been seen as some crime. That’s how we got here in the first place lmao

It's honestly less about division and more about nation building

Which goes back to thousands of years of African civilization. Whether it was Kush, Ashanti, Songhai, Zulu etc people have been organized forever

Duragman is the type of s*** you'd expect a white person to come up with as response to one of those racial casting controversies and be like "see you have your own hero now so stop trying to take ours"

Yeah durag man is crazy ngl. Super lazy too. “Black guys wear durags right? Well call him Durag man!”

LMAO it all makes sense now

Humanity innately tribal. Declaring a homeland for a group of people is a great representation of self-government. Goes back to the "Native Black" plan created by Dr. Claud Anderson

Niggas got “jokes” and derogatory comments for all black ethnic groups. S*** even amongst those ethnic groups.
