White privilege doesn’t mean white people don’t struggle. It means whiteness itself isn’t the reason you’re struggling, and pretending those are the same thing is exactly how privilege protects itself.
@fredhoku@timeoutref@Letty1Thomas@Nosipho_Mbatha_ Those examples are scraping the surface. We inspire each other, yet black Americans strive to cause a divide every time. You can’t deny the inspiration even if you tried. Let’s not get into the movie ‘coming to America’… Wildly Congolese culture inspired btw
@Justtdavid_ I got called classist for saying they shouldn’t be allowed to have kids I understand they had a problem with the word ‘allowed’ ; but I stand on it.
@monty_avo So stream them. White stream the fuck out of their people , so urge people to do same . Another great example is East Asians(Koreans) w k-pop.
@fredhoku@timeoutref@Letty1Thomas@Nosipho_Mbatha_ Gatekeeping your culture from who? Because if black Americans want to gatekeeping culture ; they should do that while simultaneously refraining from making use of any African culture. Or will you deny African culture isn’t inspiration to black Americans too? Division is stupid.
@fredhoku@Devilnaddaa@Letty1Thomas@Nosipho_Mbatha_ How are you so sure these hairstyles aren’t common in the continent Africa itself? Or have you been to all countries in Africa and experienced each culture yourself? Do you think people walk around bald? People have been and continue to do these hairstyles.
@fredhoku@Nosipho_Mbatha_ It’s unfortunate that black Americans were disconnected from their roots. It truly is. But you can’t give new meanings to words. Black is a race. It’s also culture for black Americans. But America is not the only country in the world. Know that and know peace.
