Cornell University........White Frat Attacks Black man, Black Student Group Doesn't Want Africans

[Kwan Dai]

Smh... I wonder if they came together with those International students and perhaps talk to them about our internal issues... I don't see this happening with white Americans versus white Europeans

I agree but shouldn't the onus be on these Blacks students coming to America. Most Black Americans aren't blindly going to Africa to live without having a fairly comfortable amount of knowledge about culture, social and political issues facing Africa.

I think for Black Americans there is personal connection we try to make with Africa so, generally we tend to care about the people and land. Whereas Africans look at America as a place to come up not make connections and involve themselves in Black American issues.

I dont play silly games. I am well aware of the negative perspective Africans have towards blacks.

Smh.. Man growing up I was all sorts of Africa booty scratches this.. King of zumunda that.. If Africans don't fuck with Black Americans it's more because of this as opposed to looking down on black Americans..

The fuck?.. Africans ain't black? We ain't the same? Smh..

Man every dark skin nigga was an African booty scratcher. But African immigrants who come over and go straight into the collegiate system don't suffer the same fate.

Being called an African booty scratcher no way compares to what Africans call black people. I forget the word now but you know what I'm talking about.

Africans don't see themselves as Black until it's time to ride that Black American benefit train.

Calling them international students is misleading. We are talking mostly about kids who were born and raised here. Went to the same schools and grew up on the same neighborhoods.. Granted I'm not there but are these kids not American?.. Like what's the problem? We all black..

Everyone has to accept this in order for unity to happen. And in my experience Africans don't accept that fact. As it's been said already. They are Nigerian, South African, Ethiopian etc. Saying they are Black is a stain. It means they have sided with Black Americans. And foreigners don't want that designation. Black Americans are the scourge of American society. This has been broadcast around the world and that stereotype\perception is what people believe.

Bro I'm African.. And I'm telling you we all black.. Nevermind the cultural differences.. We are all black period.. Anyone who says otherwise.. African America or first Gen African immigrant is out of Touch with reality.. We acknowledge our differences but we still know we all black..

This is BS.. Africans have a word for White people too.. Both are adjectives not offensive terms.. Sounds to me there is a fundamental disconnect that is based on miscommunication more so than anything.. Cuz again I'm African.. And I black American friends that I regard as brothers..

Again that's BS.. Or maybe it's an NY thing.. It might be different in other places but we stand side by side with Black American's and Latino's especially in the hood..

So niggas dont wanna compete no more? How ironic

It's not that they don't want to compete. It's that they want a fair competition.

American blacks have oppressed in ways that blacks from these other countries have not been. There is a big difference between colonialism and what American blacks have gone through, for example.

U heard about boko haram b?

You do realize that a lot of African countries been going through genocide for thousands of years?

You do realize apartheid ended in 1994 waaay after jim crow?

You do realize slavery is still going on in Africa and a lot of East Africans are subject to Arabian slavery where they even sell them on facebook?

Educate yourself b.

Apartheid was a consequence of British / Dutch colonization in South Africa. How is it America's duty to right that wrong?

Its not about American righting a wrong in another country. Its this silly idea that black folks in other countries somehow have it easier which is stupid

You're right. I think the larger issue is, not just Africans but foreigners in general come to the states educate themselves and then take those skills and potential tax dollars back to their own countries. So, while I personally accept our African brothers and sisters. I totally understand and some what support what these students are demanding. We are losing the opportunity to strengthen the Black American communities through higher education. Because, there's alot of truth to Africans not really giving a shit about Black American issues. Which, is almost a slap in the face because, many Black Americans not only care but support Africans.

But lets not pretend its all open arms and acceptance for black folks from other countries especially Africans. Being told theyre not really black, repeating white folks jokes about Africa about living in huts and being uncivilized. Like niggas don't remember shit like "African booty scratcher" or jokes about how dark skin they are...that it also a slap in the face

 

[Shizlansky]

Europeans will claim they Russia/English/Spanish in a heartbeat.

Just like Africans will Claim Ghana/Nigeria/Cameroon

Africans are Black. Problem is, many don't identify as such once here in the states. They identify according to their country of origin.

That's people in general. You leave the states people will call you American first. And Africans don't deny being black. The issue is black Americans have taken the term black to only ran black folks from the states...not black people all over the globe

i can agree and can admit to being apart of it.

i was young dumb and uneducated about it.

and when i look back...the shit honestly pisses me off.

the cartoons and shows that made fun of us right under our noses an we was busy being entertained and brainwashed rather than educated.

I am agreeing with you. We are all Black. Once you step foot on American soil you are Black. All that individual nationalistic jazz is off the table. However, you and I aren't the reality though. And again my opinions aren't exclusive to Africans. Spanish speaking Blacks are probably the worse of the lot.

I'm a native New Yorker. New York is an entirely different world. And it took me years to come to that reality. Outside of the tristate when you mention latinos or hispanic people think Mexicans. Like word? I never met a Mexican until I moved down south. I only knew of Mexicans through movies and Boxing. Spanish speaking people in my world were Puerto Ricans, Domincans, and Cubans. Who came in every shade just like as American born Blacks.

There's no reason to pretend. But how about you move beyond elementary and junior high when we all were saying and doing ignorant shit to each other? We are discussing an age group and demographic that is "educated".

If we wanted to delve into animosity or feelings of contempt, Black Americans could feel some type of way because, of Africa and Africans lack of involvement\support of oppressed Blacks in America. In addition to the ass whippings and great Black men and women who gave their lives for not just Africans, but Asians etc to be able to carve out a living here in the states..

 

[Shizlansky]

In New Orleans.

If you black you black. You don't get treated different at all if you from Africa or Spanish speaking countries.

Fuck Mexicans though.

Even as an adult I've had conversations with people who are shocked that there are black people in Latin America...you want to talk education the average American has little clue of how the rest of the world outside the US operates and are shocked to find out shit is different in many places. So your demographic ain't as educated as you would like to assume

You talk education in one post yet make an ignorant statement here. If you were as educated as you thought then you would know more about all the very real clear elements of African culture that has shaped and still remains an important part of the culture of many Latin countries. From the style of dress to religious beliefs and practices, where do you think Santeria comes from its a mashup of African religions, to even the style of Spanish and the cadence in which it is spoken...but you're part of the demographic that should know this right?
