@ajclassicjr @AnthonyGSupreme @pedrocostafan Also, Garvey was heavily influenced by Booker T. And Kwame was radicalized at Howard. They were taught by Black American and our tradition of Blackness. Many of these other migrants are actively against BAs and even join in on calling MLK a plant, demonizing the panthers etc.

Berda Lum Chan (1913-1994)

In The Mississippi Chinese: Between Black and White, James Loewen reveals that Berda Lum Chan, one of the daughters of the plaintiffs in the Lum v. Rice case, resents the discrimination she suffered from whites in Mississippi and in Houston where she later came to reside.

HOWEVER, in spite of all of the hatred she received from white folks, Berda apparently STILL disliked the Civil Rights Movement and DID NOT want to see her children marry black.🤡

Linguistics experts say many words and phrases coined by Gen Zers have roots in African American Language that date back centuries. https://t.co/BiaiS7Xx04

[SOULBLACK @BlackPowerBA]

@AnthonyGSupreme Would he ever ask these questions to African ethnic groups and peoples? They have multiple ethnic groups that have lived together for centuries, but don’t consider each other the same. Is he saying that should end?

[SOULBLACK @BlackPowerBA]

Would you ask these questions to the ethnic groups within African nations?

[w.e.b dubiracial @mattdj00]

what does insisting on an exclusively “black american” ethnicity get you? how does this particularization advance any goal of liberation? certainly we should celebrate black american culture, but let’s not pretend it happened in a bubble closed off from the rest of the diaspora

@sixfootlana Jamaicans have been using Black American slang terms since the 1940s. There is a bunch of AAVE/BAE in early Jamaican songs for that reason. Literally.

[SOULBLACK @BlackPowerBA]

Versions Galore 1970. This song is always bought up as the song that influenced modern rapping in America. I’m not hearing the connection, especially when there are RnB songs from years before this with more developed “rapping.” “Jitterbug” at the end, more Jive slang.

[SOULBLACK @BlackPowerBA]

@COHJ @AnthonyGSupreme @Trap_Jesus *no toasting.

[SOULBLACK @BlackPowerBA]

@COHJ @AnthonyGSupreme @Trap_Jesus Definitely rap. We gave rapping to the world. I toasting in JA without Black Americans rapping.

[SOULBLACK @BlackPowerBA]

@ricotay53285800 @MrIntrospect222 @ZSickmind @cheybennis @BaizuoV @tariqnasheed We already know the “origins” of rap. It’s Black American. They talk about toasting for a second and immediately get into Radio DJs of the 50s, where Jamaican toasters learned how to “rap.” As I just proved the first Jamaican toaster said…

[SOULBLACK @BlackPowerBA]

What?

[Frantz Phenom @TreyDupree74]

@AnthonyGSupreme The xenophobia and erasure of African and Caribbean cultural and political exchange is the fascist part. Saying RnB is black American culture is just an extension of that nativist American ‘exceptionalist’ logic

[Anthony @AnthonyGSupreme]

It's "fascist" to say RnB is Black American culture, I had enough of these insecure niggas LOL

[Anthony @AnthonyGSupreme]

People can try learning about us instead of constantly speaking over us.

[SOULBLACK @BlackPowerBA]

Our language and dialects are not random, we aren’t making “mistakes.” Others can’t just wake up one day and decide to speak AAVE. We are birthed into our systems.

[SOULBLACK @BlackPowerBA]

*immigrant group.” I remember last week we were being told that our language system and dialects come from the Caribbean and Africa. No. Linguist agree there was a certain level of isolation that we went through. Also, our “creole” varieties are unique as well.

[SOULBLACK @BlackPowerBA]

“Slave Descendants have a unique linguistic heritage in comparison to every other immigrant that came to this country.” AAVE/BAE

@RadioGenoa Black people created swing dance. Sit this one out.

@Jen_jen_jen_123 People start spamming “Pan African” type post and such when this happens. Has he addressed this rhetoric?

[Jen @Jen_jen_jen_123]

This is the average pan african. It's not ghanaian yet here you are saying it
