She's absolutely right. We have no desire to be anything else than Black American. I can't even go to an African or Caribbean club/lounge without hearing Black American music HOWEVER, I can go to a Black American club and not hear any African or Reggae music being played. I used to be able to tell the difference between an African or Caribbean person of course by their accents but, now they're styles(clothes, makeup, weave) are definitely copied. Black Americans aren't trying to be African or Caribbean in no way, form, or fashion😂
@jozejeaux3962..Im a pround FBA but we have to stop lying many AA have been influenced by Jamaican culture example the dread locks and certain clothing styles..And many AA been influenced by some African styles
My Black Americans... Please realize who and what we are. Basically we are a powerful people. The world is filled with jealousy of us and they can't help themselves. It's because TMH Our Living God gave us natural powers and talents that others cannot match. We're his Blessed and Gifted People. APTTMH.
I am happy to be a FBA..I love our history and heritage, I grew up with James Brown, Earth Wind and Fire, Tina Turner, etc..american legends..HBCUs are intended to educate our young adults, and let's not forget our food..yeah we go over the top ..in our fashions but variety is the spice of life..also we rock the hairstyles and haircuts..I love being Black and proud
I grew up in England, where all we had was Earth Wind and Fire, James Brown, and I had a poster of Tina Turner on the wall. Because we never really had black music on TV. In the uk, you had bands like UB40 with a white band leader, and you had The Police which was all white. Both did reggae music, which is essentially African Caribbean music. We were really proud to see black people on TV regardless of where in the world they came from because we knew how hard it was to get anywhere positive.
My mum loved Nat King Cole, my dad, loved Mohamed Ali the boxer, not just because he was good but also because of his political beliefs. In England, everything Caribbean was watered down by the time it got to TV. That's why it was called cross-over Also, when we said the word black history or culture, they would give us the US history, not our own. We had more books about the black US culture than our own at that time.
I understood/respect when other Groups Gatekeep their Culture, but its strange when Black Americans Gatekeep Our Culture 😅then those same Groups say we're "Separation/Delineation"😂. Cant make this sh*t up😂

Malcolm X, who's mother was Caribbean? "The grandfather of Hip Hop" was Jamaican. Lots of Caribbean- American rappers were involved in rap since it's inception in the Bronx. Now you claiming it's yours? You copied African and Jamaican hairstyles and have the nerve to claim it as yours. Then have the nerve to gatekeep these African hairstyles with white and Asian people 😂. If it's actually your style, that's fine. But don't claim anything African or Caribbean as yours.
@@NP70seHere you go! We’re all the same people, just got off the boat at different stops. You never wondered why we all have the same hairstyles, food (prepared differently), music, dancing, etc.? How would that be possible before the age of internet and travel? Because we’re the same people!!
@@PatienceLove You have the same hairstyles because you copied the Africans and Caribbean people who came to America. Africans started their hair braiding business here which black Americans started copying around the 1970s; During a very pro black and Afro centric period. They even dressed in African dashiki clothing during that time. The only blacks wearing dreadlocks in this country were Caribbean Rastafarians. Black Americans didn't copy that style until the early 2000s. These people brought these styles to America. This is not the case of black Americans spontaneously coming up with these styles on their own or it being passed down for generations since slavery. Some other cultures and races can't be accused of culturally appropriating dreadlocks because they have done it centuries before. So no blacks should be policing that style and black Americans most certainly can't claim it as theirs, when they recently copied it themselves.

Thank you so much for stating that we need to look at black history differently ! Blacks have always been inventors, innovators and creators. Unfortunately we were not always given the credit for it! We need to see all positive attributes from black people as “Black History” and that’s what needs to be promoted during black history month and continually. Even when our ancestors were slaves they were creators and that just goes to show the power and tenacity that is in us. We should never forget the greatness of black people and the positive impact we have had on the world because it’s just as important as any other culture.

Black American culture is exactly that - black American by many factors: music, dance, style, food, dialect, customs and worship and yes slavery: it was forge because of the disconnect to Africa over 400 years - hence a new black man and woman came forth making black American 88 percent different to the customs language and practices of Africans.

Yeah, because he knows that Black stands for Death,pale,wan,livid, bleached, etc 😑 and you have no rights. He also know it's a possibility you are Niiji or American Indian.

Hi.👋🏾 There is a Equity, Civil Rights, and Title IX Office. Or the ECRT where I live and surrounding areas. I don't know what the name of yours might be near you, but do yourself a favor and use them. A group that handles those problems for you, it's their job.
Now I agree sometimes confrontation is needed where you have to put it. But this your job and sometimes I feel like my people don't know how to give the Claire Huxtable stare then shut it down gracefully.

My Black Americans... Please realize who and what we are. Basically we are a powerful people. The world is filled with jealousy of us and they can't help themselves. It's because TMH Our Living God gave us natural powers and talents that others cannot match. We're his Blessed and Gifted People. APTTMH.
I am happy to be a FBA..I love our history and heritage, I grew up with James Brown, Earth Wind and Fire, Tina Turner, etc..american legends..HBCUs are intended to educate our young adults, and let's not forget our food..yeah we go over the top ..in our fashions but variety is the spice of life..also we rock the hairstyles and haircuts..I love being Black and proud
Entertainment and nothing else.
I grew up in England, where all we had was Earth Wind and Fire, James Brown, and I had a poster of Tina Turner on the wall. Because we never really had black music on TV. In the uk, you had bands like UB40 with a white band leader, and you had The Police which was all white. Both did reggae music, which is essentially African Caribbean music. We were really proud to see black people on TV regardless of where in the world they came from because we knew how hard it was to get anywhere positive.
My mum loved Nat King Cole, my dad, loved Mohamed Ali the boxer, not just because he was good but also because of his political beliefs. In England, everything Caribbean was watered down by the time it got to TV. That's why it was called cross-over
Also, when we said the word black history or culture, they would give us the US history, not our own. We had more books about the black US culture than our own at that time.

@@PatienceLove You have the same hairstyles because you copied the Africans and Caribbean people who came to America. Africans started their hair braiding business here which black Americans started copying around the 1970s; During a very pro black and Afro centric period. They even dressed in African dashiki clothing during that time.
The only blacks wearing dreadlocks in this country were Caribbean Rastafarians. Black Americans didn't copy that style until the early 2000s. These people brought these styles to America. This is not the case of black Americans spontaneously coming up with these styles on their own or it being passed down for generations since slavery. Some other cultures and races can't be accused of culturally appropriating dreadlocks because they have done it centuries before. So no blacks should be policing that style and black Americans most certainly can't claim it as theirs, when they recently copied it themselves.
Well it’s about 50,000,000 usd too late to feel that way about her. She should’ve never been able to,‘em to earn a dollar teaching young girls how to exploit themselves and how to be exploited by others.
Thank you so much for stating that we need to look at black history differently ! Blacks have always been inventors, innovators and creators. Unfortunately we were not always given the credit for it! We need to see all positive attributes from black people as “Black History” and that’s what needs to be promoted during black history month and continually. Even when our ancestors were slaves they were creators and that just goes to show the power and tenacity that is in us. We should never forget the greatness of black people and the positive impact we have had on the world because it’s just as important as any other culture.
