@tariqnasheed@YouTube Drake is of our lineage, so he is “Black”.
Africans and Caribbeans are not of our lineage so they are NOT Black, and they are NOT in our diaspora.
We can say Drake is Black “Canadian” and we are Black “American”, but that’s a combo of lineage and nationality when used this way.
@Uncle_ShutUp Black Americans see everyday who’s taking these jobs.. we see who’s taking our political power, we even see who took our supposed “political party”.
We see the root cause and we’re making the necessary corrections in the order of what causes the most damage to our lineage.
I post this so that we can look to our ancestors that only we share with each other and recharge ourselves.
We are one of the lucky few heavily documented groups that get to see our ancestors living and breathing in our own unique energy.
Wave propagation is the transfer of energy through a medium via oscillations, without transferring matter.
This is our Black American ancestral energy from a 1914 silent film. I added a synthwave overlay to make that energy more permeable to us. 🇺🇸
@NahBubbah@Cynic277 Why would immigrants abandon their countries and aid the same imperial system that is oppressing their homelands to the point that many of the people live in complete poverty and have to flee?
Thinking back, I remember that the decorations on the walls of my grandparents homes were pictures of our family, many in military dress…
…..and items indicative of a proud American history and lineage.
..nothing foreign.

The belief that we are somehow inherently linked to Africa has stifled a great deal of Black American creativity.
Our art and artists should be centered on Americana, focusing solely on our people and spirit.
No more African artwork plaguing our creatives. Goodbye, Africa.
In the movie Inception, a totem is a unique object used to determine if you are in the real world or a dream state.
This is Daisy Richardson, a Black American dancer from the 1940's displaying why Black American women are my totem. It's spiritual. 🇺🇸
@Farida_N Have yet to read one of these African “think pieces” that was even remotely honest and not completely disingenuous.
Your tribalism is the problem. It follows you everywhere you run to while you’re running away from it.. because it’s in you.
@NorfeastGroovin@SoulChild868 I don’t expect you to look at the world around you and see your place in it.. right here in the present. You are here.. you are part of the imperialistic machine that you’re complaining about. If you really reject our imperialism.. show us with your actions.
@BlackMedia111@queenie4rmnola Again.. the same scenario applies to all our ancestors.. we count them.. and their ancestors .. all the way back to the beginning of time. We don’t just stop when it’s someone we don’t like.
@BlackMedia111@queenie4rmnola How can you only have 1 European ancestor? That ancestors ancestry alone proves you wrong.
Basically everything about your argument is incorrect prior to me even addressing your actual argument about the percentage.
Just google it brother.
@queenie4rmnola You’re either of the lineage or you’re not.
The things you listed would only matter if you were trying to get reparations from Africa.
No one is doing that.. yet.
In America.. your lineage / recorded Genealogy would dictate your eligibility.
