A lot of “Black” ppl who are fear mongering about Black ppl getting stripped of birthright citizenship and will get deported are not Black Americans but are of foreign descent trying to group us as one so we feel scared as well. That does NOT apply to us

- Black Americans saying we built America is shamed and we get called imperialist for claiming such a country but immigrants saying they built America is honorable and used as justifiable means on why all then should be able to stay in said imperialist country…
GIF - Replying to @Show713Black Americans have moved all across this country. I’m not Texan but had ancestors who were in Texas during slavery just like many others. and Even if they don’t have lineage in Texas it’s a celebration of the last of our ppl being freed so its very much a Black American holiday
- Black Americans are tired of our culture, spaces, representation & resources being treated as a “wE aLL BLaCk!” thing others can dip in and out of while also be able to fallback on their actual ethnicities culture, spaces, representation, & resources that they gatekeep
- Do y’all think we’ll ever see an actual ethnic Black American become president in our lifetime?
- At the end of the day, you’re not going to see Black Americans go to any Caribbean flag day, Jouvert, or carnival waving our flags & trail riding down the street blasting Boosie. We understand cultural awareness but other ppl can’t seem to understand it when it comes to us???
GIF - Why do ppl treat the Caribbean as having a more established identity than us and act like originate from them? wasn’t their ethnogenesis not being formed the same time ours was?
- Replying to @Arri_adeTexan Black Americans are still Black Americans & we’re celebrating the last of our ppl being freed. This like Mexicans from aztecan communities telling Mexicans of Mayan or Zapotec origin can’t celebrate Day of the Dead cus they started it which is now an overall Mexican holiday
- This whole weekend I have came across too many low self esteem Black Americans who’ll dog on themselves and other BAs for the satisfaction of appeasing non Black Americans…like ew
- Replying to @Show713Why are u asking like I don’t already know? The point is Black Americans no matter if they have Texas lineage or not are celebrating the day of the emancipation of all our ppl. regionalism over this is dumb af especially when ppl outside of Texas been celebrating it before 2020
- Replying to @Show713We all know it started in Galveston Tx cus they were the last to be Freed. And yes my ppl outside of Texas have been celebrating it. And even if ppl just found out later about it why does it matter? At the end of the today we’re celebrating the last of Black Americans being freed
- 1. Hiphop came from funk music. 2. Pigmeat markham was rapping over funk before the art craft became known as hip Hop. 3.toasting came from Black American jive talk. 4. Ska/reggae heavily came from R&B.I think ppl just love Jamaica man idk. I don’t wanna start a diaspora war but Jamaica has contributed a lot to Black American culture for a very long time so I think when ppl visit they feel a special connection and want to show that.
- Replying to @blaxsupremeWhen Black Americans claimed our rightful spot in the fabric of this country we got called all types of names but now everybody is scrambling to prove how much their ppl contributed to America and using the “aMeRiCa iS a naTiOn oF IMmigRaNts”. Why are they not gettin shamed?
- Replying to @Arri_ade“When u don’t actually have any intellectual response”
