@135nadhir@arthurwatkins 17th-century Africans did not identify under a generic "Black" or "African" banner. Rival sovereign nations and kingdoms (like Dahomey or Ashanti) fought wars and sold foreign prisoners of war from enemy tribes.
@135nadhir@arthurwatkins Kidnapping is the forced taking and transport of a human being against their will—the motive can be ransom, labor, or selling them for profit. Trafficking people across an ocean in chains for money is the literal definition of kidnapping. Stop trying to use semantic gymnastics.
@Ryan80810880020@PacificView1914@Nibiru1000 You have spent the last four hours boxing yourself into a corner, stuttering, double-posting, and throwing a multicultural tantrum because you can't out-argue the facts. You're completely done on this timeline. Step away from the keyboard and go find some self-awareness.
@Ryan80810880020@PacificView1914@Nibiru1000 Exposing your complete ignorance with raw Olympic and European league data isn't "conflating an ego"—it’s called holding an uneducated troll accountable to reality.
@Ryan80810880020@PacificView1914@Nibiru1000 This is a pathetic, low-IQ attempt to flip the script. 🤣You tried to make up a fake history where Europe doesn't consume or play global sports just to minimize American and Black cultural leverage.
@Ryan80810880020@PacificView1914@Nibiru1000 You're trying to use a dictionary definition to dodge the fact that you lost on architecture, sports, instruments, and geography. Take your semantic gymnastics to bed, you are completely buried.
@Ryan80810880020@PacificView1914@Nibiru1000 Foundational Black American culture is the core engine of American culture, but we specify our lineage because institutions love to consume the art while erasing the artist.
@Ryan80810880020@PacificView1914@Nibiru1000 You are trying to use elementary school wordplay because your entire historical argument got absolutely shredded, compadre. Nobody is separating them to dilute them; we separate them to show lineage and accountability
@Ryan80810880020@PacificView1914@Nibiru1000 And Barcelona is the literal global mecca for street skateboarding. You are so desperate to minimize American and Black cultural leverage that you’re inventing a fantasy planet where global sports don't exist. Take your broken record ass to sleep, you are completely buried.
@Ryan80810880020@PacificView1914@Nibiru1000 Ryan has officially entered the fictional dimension. Claiming Europe doesn't care about volleyball or skateboarding is an insane self-own. Poland, Italy, and France literally dominate global volleyball and run the highest-paid pro leagues on earth, compadre. 🤣
@Ryan80810880020@PacificView1914@Nibiru1000 You can daydream about the year 2076 all you want, but right now in the real world, the global blueprint of American culture is driven by the FBA lineage. You spent the whole day moving the fence just to end up screaming at the clouds.🤣
@Ryan80810880020@PacificView1914@Nibiru1000 Ryan has officially left reality behind. Moving the goalposts from actual history down to "well my group is gonna take over in 50 years and rewrite the history books anyway" is a hilarious, total intellectual defeat. You are glitching, compadre.
@Ryan80810880020@PacificView1914@Nibiru1000 simultaneously trying to gatekeep Black Americans from claiming ownership of the cultural genres that gave those exact items their global value. He is trying to use his Hispanic identity to bypass accusations of bias while defending a eurocentric view of history.
@Ryan80810880020@PacificView1914@Nibiru1000 Conflating Geography with Culture: Ryan is trying to claim that because these items are "American in general," they belong to everyone equally.
