Shit gets complicated, I'll fall back. I see your point. I just don't feel a black man that touches down from Grenada tomorrow is all of a sudden an African-American. What history does he have in America? I wouldn't consider his ethnicity to be African American.

Goated you for giving credence only

I agree...same as a Ghanaian touching foot in the USA to be called African-American, makes no absolute sense.

 

[Meta_Conscious]

this aint nearly as complex as it appears...

It's retarded, Africa is a continent and America is a continent. So saying I'm African or American is too broad and isn't really saying shit. Now from my facial features and texture of hair, I obviously have some "African" descent. Now if you want to get specific, I'm an US citizen of the United States of America born in California making me a Californian with ID and birth cert that says so.

So basically @A1000MILES you want us to be proud to be US citizens of a Nation that classified us as 3/5's human, lynched us, bombed black wall street, feed black/african babies to alligators, initiated dehumanizing jim crow laws, treats their first "black" president like he is a random nigga etc. You say your an immigrant from Nigeria and speak on how we should feel or call ourselves like you have some authority to. If we can call each other niggas then we can call each other Africans too, they are all just fucking political terms anyway, I'm trying to make money like other "races" do instead of bickering about terms like a little child. I would get into how stupid "Black" is as a term aswell but fuck it I'll let the ignorance rock it'll be less competition for me when I'm reach the top.

THE AFRICAN UNION considers so called african americans to be african along with all black people so that should end the debate

Negative, as far as i learnt in grade school, only Haiti was a recognize overseas member, it encourages those in the American continent to participate but no where it considers them....

He's says we should feel proud to be "American". He says that calling ourselves "African" is "false flagging". He says we should feel proud of being "black american"(

Sigh...Bruh...If you wanna be broad...None of that shit means anything...They're all labels created by people who died years before you were born...If you wanna be logical...If you are not from Africa by way of birth, or raised by an African immediate family...Why are you putting "African" in front of whatever other country you claim?...Why would you feel okay with someone subcategorizing you?...This ain't bout me bein mad, and what I'm sayin definitely has substance...
