You had to edit the post responding to me calling you out for editing posts.

Take a deep breath and please think twice before posting on the internet.

You have any oppositions to someone having the streets favourite rapper as their fav rapper?

The game is gone

You wouldn't catch the Moranbong Band acting like this

So im mad because I made a post, went back and double checked to see if I was wrong, which I’m not. I edited one post. Its semantics anyway. You defending someone who is Asian saying nigga when its literally an AAVE Slur

Why are associating Africans with slaves? Im saying that nigga is term that is used by Africans because it was weaponized against us. You can be black and not of african descent. I just asked if you were or not, and you still havent answered.

Also Kunta was his African name, Toby was his slave name. Joke doesnt even make sense. He refused to call himself his slave name of Toby. That’s the point of the scene of him getting whipped…

Diaspora wars in this thread wrap it up

lol

J pop got some fire artist

oy. They really dig our wave, huh?

You’re dumb as s***

I’m of African descent

This why I fw you this lil kpop nigga gonna send some memes and paragraphs your way

Thank you for finally answering because this entire time you only said you are asian and black which again doesnt mean you are African diaspora.

if only you could read or knew history

you were begging god that I was some weird fringe exception to the general rule because you were tight

Being Black is not the same as being African: it is a racial and political identity, not a claim to African ancestry or culture. In Pasifika Black, Quito Swan shows how Indigenous Oceanic peoples embraced “Black” as a political identity forged through shared anti-colonial struggle, not as an assertion of African heritage. Colonial racial hierarchies also “blackened” Pacific Islanders, grouping them with other colonized peoples without making them African. Thus, Blackness can encompass global experiences of racialization that extend well beyond the African continent.

Yes, you can be Black and not African. While "Black" refers to a racial classification based on phenotype (dark skin), it is not synonymous with having immediate national or cultural ties to the continent of Africa.

Maybe take an African studies class instead of coming at someone who literally studied this in University. There’s plenty of people from Asia who are Black, its not a weird exception to the rule. You could literally be black but not african. I dont know you and this is an anon forum.

There are over 100,000 indigenous Negrito people in the Philippines

Black is a racial classification of people, usually a political and skin color-based category for specific populations with a mid- to dark brown complexion. Often in countries with socially based systems of racial classification in the Western world, the term "black" is used to describe persons who are perceived as darker-skinned in contrast to other populations. It is most commonly used for people of African ancestry, Indigenous Australians, Melanesians, and Negritos,”
Often in the United States there may be an implicit or automatic assumption that dark-skinned individuals are African Americans. African Americans are generally defined as people with ancestry from Sub-Saharan Africa who are residents or citizens of the United States. While African Americans are the largest racial minority in the United States, there are many other groups of people that have dark-skinned members. These include some people from the Caribbean (Jamaica, Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Martinique, etc.), Pakistan, South America, Europe, Southern India, Mexico, Cuba, and also dark-skinned Creoles, Native Americans, as well as mid-eastern groups from Sudan and Saudi Arabia, newly immigrated Africans, and a variety of multi-racial people. Advisers who are otherwise unprejudiced or who may be African Americans themselves are vulnerable to such suppositions. Perhaps the advisers extrapolate from their personal experience or infer from local or institutional numbers.

This guy gets it. He’s from Fiji but is black without being African. It’s about social recognition because Race is a social construct, ethnicity isnt.
