I hate to say this but Continental Africans are the weakest link when it comes to global Black unity. Most traverse the world with their backwards ass tribalism and cause dysfunction with other Black people in many instances to gain the favor of White people. We can say “we are all the same” until we’re blue in the face but the people who don’t believe it the most are the people from the Continent.
In South Africa they kill other Africans but lets whites bully them one difference is that when we have smoke we have it for anyome they must have it with themselves
A good 80% of Black Americans are like that as well. The biggest difference IMO is that we have a culture of calling them out. Julius Malema is working to develop that same culture is South Africa.
This is a very, very complex issue, which may take a while to break down. There isnt any real beef between West Indians and Africans, however, there are simmering tensions and very real issues between us. It was quite bad during the 80's and 90's for many reasons. One reason was that West Indians didnt feel Africans were getting involved as much in any Pan-African movement. In the UK, historically, it was the West Indians who were the main driving force behind Pan-Africanism. Up until recent years, most black people in the UK were from the West Indies. They were THE black culture of the UK.
"One reason was that West Indians didnt feel Africans were getting involved as much in any Pan-African movement. In the UK, historically, it was the West Indians who were the main driving force behind Pan-Africanism" That has now been highlighted.
These are largely the same issues we have in the states too.
They ARE the weakest link! They bear an inherent antipathy for all non indigenous black Africans borne out of misplaced resentment. They inhabit the wealthiest continent yet the poorest of its citizens and never felt any remorse for selling Africans into white slavery. Their minds have been totally colonised beyond salvage.
They have no fight because they have no race pride. Just listened to one senior on the news, participating in a vigil, thanking the late coloniser race queen for 'all that she did for the commonwealth' 🙄 Thanking her oppressor for robbing her country of its indigenous wealth for 70 years whilst she's forced to endure a meek existence!🙄 Sickening!
The level of low some of us take to is very disgusting and disappointing. The so called Queen saw through all the degradation of Black's and never did anything. In fact, she supported every bit of it. All their diamond was stolen from Africa.
The Caribbean community are the equivalent of American FBAs in the UK. The only group to confront and challenge white establishment when racially targeted -eg, Brixton riots, Windrush scandal, Mark Duggan. Africans NEVER express allegiance and are THE most servile and vociferous in defending whites -they take pride in the legacy of their anti black subjugators. They are crying over the death of their oppressor queen -that's how phuc'd up they are🙄
I recall, as a teenager oblivious to their diasporian race hate, an African feeling immensely superior in repeatedly calling me 'slave' with the utmost contempt as though I should be offended by it in a trivial verbal altercation. Had I been as knowledgeable about black history as I am today I would have shamed him into the fact that his ancestors sold my ancestors into slavery for shit trinkets and copper pots. I have very little tolerance for them today because their mentality has not changed.
Not just non-indigenous, all other Black people. If they hated us but at least had functioning countries where they refined/mined their own natural resources and sold them at market rate that would be one thing. A lot of them can’t stop the bickering long enough to even get that popping off, it’s sad.
Im going to push back a bit on this.
If you're referring to the Brixton Uprising in 1981, there were fewer Africans in the UK at that time compared to now. There was not the numbers. This is not to excuse not challenging the white establishment, its just to give some background.
How much have you heard about the Child Q case? One of the organisations fighting to get justice for the child is called Ligali. The founder is a Nigerian called Toyin Agbetu. He has been on the COWS broadcast a number of times. See here for some of what he has done:
What happened to you as a teenager was seriously messed up. There is NO excuse for that.
You're giving UK Africans far too much kudos where there's scant evidence of allegiance. They've ALWAYS conveyed kumbaya politics when they should've been visibly aligning themselves with the black community. You see them all the time cooning in tv debates, politics and social issues but never a black first portrayal. I'm yet to meet one that's all out B1!
Unfortunately in my anecdotal experience 9 times out 10 I have this same experience. I have a few Africans in the building I live in and they will not speak to me. I’ve even seen it at work….they are off code AF and kiss white ass like it’s the Vince Lombardi trophy.
There are no black Africans of that ilk left today -they killed off the legacies of those true alpha black first black lions! We're left with the embarrassment of wannabe white black Africans. I can't envisage them being instrumental in the liberation of Africa -it will take diasporian blacks to do the job.
It was a wake up call as I had no idea they hated non African blacks. It's a vicious cycle because I disliked them after that.
This video made me smile because all I see is the love behind the illusion. This is family shit. Who else, but family do you beef with like this? Arguing back and forth for years. Who can touch you so deeply (without making an attempt on your life) that you be mad at them for years? We don't beef with white people like this. Maybe even white people don't beef with white people like this. This is family beef. GLOBAL family beef. It is proof there is a global family. The beef is an illusion. Illusions are transient. When the beef inevitably dissipates, all there is left is the love that was always there.
That's ALWAYS been a problem. Black Americans & Black immigrants NEVER got along or together. I don't know what kind of Black they think they are, but WS looks at & treats us ALL the same. They ran from their own continent, countries & islands to come over here, but most behave as if they're better than us, because in NO way do we favor WS & WE WILL FIGHT TILL DEATH for our liberty, most of them & American KKKOONS won't, SO BE IT! 💯
They sold out 10 niggas in they homeland to get here and ain’t got no problem making you the 11th. We just gotta keep it a buck about it.
There is no love for coons and white worshipping Black people.
I thought projection went away when flat screens came onto the market.
So you are not protecting anything by excluding them. Then why single them out? Why are they not in the circle if you are not trying to protect the circle?
Did you watch the video through rose tinted spectacles? Asking for a friend now 😂 Kinda feels like you did. They've been hating us since they sold us . . . err, what was that about the dissipation?
Please allow me to explain. They didn't sell necessarily because of hate, they sold us for money, guns, whatever. And it was due to a misperception: they didn't see that they were selling off the means to dominate them for centuries. They thought they would sell some random dudes and that would be the end of it.
I do not condone it because it is self-destructive, but if we were NOT trying to protect ourselves/the tribe/the diaspora, why would coonery even matter?
Couldn't disagree more. 'Misperception'? 'lack of foresight'? non hate? Definitely rose tinted glasses. They cognitively and wilfully sold us out of greed! They did so because they had no respect for one another and no race pride! They were too selfish to consider the ramifications of their reckless greed on future generations and their interior -they were naive in thinking that immoral trade would continue in perpetuity. They were only interested in immediate gratification and to hell with the consequences. That's still their mentality today.
If it were not a misperception, you would have to assume they knew exactly what the consequences would be. But I agree with you. They were so hedonistic, they didn't even care about the consequences.
So you saying, they would do what they know hurts them because they are self-centered? That's depression.
He is! Did you know he used to be a very funny and popular comedian in the black community and on TV before he took up that Islamic pathway?
