BLACK HISTORY QUESTION???

[LPast]

I get it your American. But that doesn't mean you need to be Captain America.

If you know your history you would know when it was appropriate to wear the traditional clothing.

Miss me with that "you niggas are just so stupid and lost you don't care about your African roots" Bullshit.

Most people period only care about the most relevant details of their cultural/racial history. The most relevant details that contributed to who I am and the society I grew up in, started in North America during the transatlantic slave trade.

No offense to my roots and history back on the dark continent, but my identity as a Black man is far more important and substantial.

This shit isn't even unique to Black Americans. Most AMERICANS period feel a greater sense of identity and belonging with their post American history, customs, and culture (especially if their family has been here for awhile).

 

[Meta_Conscious]

nah... g'head and name an ethnic group that only considers its history in America as their heritage... we'll wait...

So many disappointing statements from my Black American brothers in here. A lot of unnecessary posturing. I don't get it.

What identity? If you remove the african from african american you people don't have a culture or indentity of your own. Everything that's not african about you you got from europeans.

Dudu you sound so ignorant

When did I say only the American part matters? I said its the most important, the most relevant. For example: Vince Lombardi is the most important/relevant coach in Packers history, but he isn't the entirety or only important part of their history.

And to answer your question:

Most of the people i've known who were Irish, German, Polish, jews who were here pre-WW2 all are extremely prideful and knowledgeable of what their families did AFTER arriving in the US and not much else before. . For families that have been here awhile, coming to America is the definitive moment in their families history given that WE LIVE IN THE FUCKING STATES.

The city I live in has a huge German population and most of them only know about their families roots here.

You keep saying this, but its been stated over and over again that, that is not the concept of the question.

 

[Meta_Conscious]

If it's not a part of your history than when does your history begin?

 

[blacktux]

Du you and folk like you are some jolly niggers.

Its sad as fuck that your really feel what you typing man. Fuck.

I mean the situation of black america is something to celebrate? With standards like that i see why some folk are in the situation they are in. You in here sounding like a fuckin KKK member.

 

[700]

it's called black history month not african american history month so it is correct to study the history of all black peoples not just african americans.

I ain't tryin to study shit bout no black ass Haitian

"Strickly 4 my Niggaz"

Nigger don't you ever quote me again you are to stupid to talk too

To act as if nothing has been achieved, to act as if its all doom and gloom is disrespectful, cynical, and defeatist.

Not one time has niggas up in here that shit was all perfectly all good. But goddamn am I supposed to shit on the achievements that my people have accomplished in the midst of constant struggle just for the sake of some warped sense of pride and focus? It doesn't have to be like that.

Everything that the black man has is because of the European here in America to say that we fought for something with no army no weapons no land no resources is stupid. Hell everything we do as a people benefits the white man more then us. You wake up go to your job for the white man you pay your taxas to the white man you speak his language and you have his names. Tell me what exactly what do I need to be proud of in black history month if you start here I. America
