In their minds, we can’t have anything of our own—not language, not culture, not even resilience.

This is the problem with us viewing the continent of Africa as the Motherland.

Stop letting them take credit for a culture, language, style & struggle that is uniquely #ADOS, not African.

Anti black American*

[SoulDaAA @CallMeRise14725]

This is facts and growning up pan African you’re not thought about ethnic pride at all. I was taught ethnic pride was just tribalism and that black Americans shouldn’t be proud of our history in America at all. People who called their self pan African use to tell me to my face that “black Americans didn’t have culture” that “America isnt our home we have to go back to Africa” that “soul food is a slave food” like imagine a YT supremacist and take his talking points about black American but then change it a little so that after you’ve diminished black American culture you uplift African cultures and say how those cultures are better we have to go back to that. It was only when I was like 14 when I woke up that this was all nonsense and I started studying black American culture on my own

It’s a real life thing too. Anybody Gen X or younger that goes to college can see it firsthand. It’s crazy how awful our interpretation of it is compared to other countries. We view it as being “born again” & being cleansed, others see it as political mobility first

[SoulDaAA @CallMeRise14725]

And I don’t believe that pan Africanism is inherently black American but it’s modern form today seems to reject black American cultural pride

[Blacc Zoro @TheTetherHunter]

@ash____pash Bitch said “Shirley Chisholm” who ran her mf mouth saying Carribeans got along better with whites cuz they weren’t race obsessed like Black Americans, while stokley Carmichael literally stole the whole Black power phrase from Willie Ricks & Richard Wright, 2 Black Americans

[SoulDaAA @CallMeRise14725]

@bredfrm_ Yeah but I got rid of that quick. Most of my family was are proud black Americans it was just I was staying with my uncle for a few years when I was a kid and him and his wife were a big into the “pan African” movement and I got pulled in

[SoulDaAA @CallMeRise14725]

And it’s crazy cause the Caribbean pan Africans I knew never downtalked thier ethnicity or culture, yeah they would talk great about Africa but they always flew they flag, ate their cultural food etc but BA pan Africans use to always downtalked us. Even when I was a kid I found that wierd

You’re full of shit. What made them “Caribbean”? The mortality rate in the Caribbean was so high that most enslaved laborers had to be constantly replenished after dying within 5 yrs, so the majority of them were native-born Africans. The opposite was true for Black Americans.

[jublee @soulfasho]

Pan-Africans and anti-Black racists ironically arguing the same points for different goals will never not amaze me.

[SoulDaAA @CallMeRise14725]

Aren’t you the same person that was calling black Americans akata? Your hatred of black Americans is well known

[kofi💫 @KofiFromGH]

The Haitian revolution led to widespread slave revolts in the US, which then led to the Civil War, which then led to Juneteenth… the establishment of Haiti is a pretty important part of all of that…

[SoulDaAA @CallMeRise14725]

@KofiFromGH Aren’t you the same person calling black Americans akata?

[Anthony @AnthonyGSupreme]

There’s a whole constituency of Chauvinists on here who hide behind Pan Africanism to belittle and demean Black Americans so they can avoid getting called out on it and that shit Is weak to me

[Smooth Cat 🇺🇲 @SmoothCat17]

@Diddly10_ @HarriettJa31461 @Soulful1865 This is how I know yall don't actually read history. Of the 13k Black Americans that went to Haiti only 13 stayed 😂. They left due to cultural reasons, inability to deal with the tropical climate and the resentment the Haitian population.

[jublee @soulfasho]

Anti-Black-American sentiment is treated as an unfortunate disagreement, while Black American pushback is treated as a threat to unity itself.

That a double standard where the grievance is tolerated, but the response to the grievance is pathologized.

[Sincerely, Mia. @MiaNWonderland]

Let me go ahead and repost all these videos of these beautiful Southern majorettes.

Because what!

When has the “diaspora” helped Black America?

[🛢️ @bredfrm_]

The rest of Black Americans are not BA NYCers. We didn’t grow up lying & claiming other ethnicities like y’all. We were ok being ourselves, & deserve mutual respect. Y’all signed up to be cultural little brothers, not the rest of us. We aren’t buffers to our own, like y’all.

[Premium Black American @Babycoltrane4]

@_Banks_Gawd_ @_munchkinn You think all Black Americans are spineless like NYC Black Americans who say despicable, loser shit such as “Caribbean/African by penetration/association” or “I’m a Jafakin?” Sorry, but the vast majority of us outside of NY are not xenocentric groupies with low ethnic self-esteem
