Sure I have. I've had bad things to say about most every group in the world, including BA. But what I want to know from you is, exactly how the fact that I've expressed some negative issues about various types of Africans, is an insinuation of that I'm not married to an Nigerian-American? I've known black dudes who hate whites with a passion, yet are married to white women, and I've known black women who were involved with white guys who don't really like blacks all that much. I don't hate Africans, though there are some common social issues with them in which I don't agree with, and I've expressed that here. My wife may be of direct African descent, though she is second generation and is VERY American, so she is in effect more of an Black-American than she is African.

lol.

ok kony.

you compared your situation to that of closet bigots and at the same time ask for clarification?

Also Mrs.Blyss is the "Mrs." because she is more American? ok.

KingMichael777:

I kinda disagree a bit. Because on the northeast many AA's are mixed with Caribbeans(Jamaicans,Bajans, Haitian,etc). Caribbeans culture has influenced AA's on the northeast. But else where its kinda different. On the west coast/south some AA's never heard dance-hall music. Most of these AA Supremacist are not from the Northeast and that is why they are not understanding of Caribbean people. Just my 2 cents.

Lets not forget both AA's and Caribbeans helped influence hip hop.

Actually kony aka blyss IS from the NE

that's all I have to say about that.
btw Dancehall is not the only thing we Caribs brought to the table.

Hip Hop is another product of our heritage. East, west, North, south..once you listen to and appreciate hip hop, you are also appreciating PART of Jamaican culture.

Mrs..Chima:


Even the fione ones Why are you so against Jamo men??!!!!!!

Im not. lol I love them.
But...

They scuuuurrr me.

From my experience the AA's that are not tolerant of non AA blacks are the ones that do not live in the northeast.

Trust me some secretly despise non-AA blacks and vice versa.

Just because you don't say disrespectful stuff aloud doesn't mean it isnt recited on the inside. Like right now, argue with an AA from NY and let them know you have caribbean roots and see if you don't get the "curried goat" or the "work 100 jobs" jokes.

The curried goat one should be familiar to you blyss.

KingMichael777:

lol...nooo! we're nice!

sweetest people on the planet.

*looks @ king and chima*

caribeans, AA's don't really like Africans

onila: carribeans, AA's don't really like Africans

and vice versa.

Disagree 100%... AA's in NYC are cool with Jamaicans and Puerto Ricans. Even if Jamos and PR may beef with AA's... Jamos and Pr's are still our biggest allies.

AA's are usually cruel to Haitians and sometimes Africans from what I've seen. But AA's are sometimes cool with Americanized Nigerians.

they only like ethiopians

Pfff... Some off my Jamaican friends use to keep Machetes in their closet.

onila: they only like ethiopians

Not in DC...

KingMichael777:

Not in DC...

they only treat the beautiful Africans that have style or what they consider as "cool"

the only afro-centric/pan-Africanists Caribbeans I have met are Jamaicans, surprisingly

thats because the Dominicans, Puerto Ricans and Jamaicans went to NY didn't take any shyt from the Americans.

My mom told me stories of how they used to tell them to go back to the islands on their banana boats and would get their azzes kicked without fail.

Fear is not respect. Though I will say some AAs genuinely are openminded. So you see a lot of them in our stores and restaurants and admire the culture. In fact it's not rare to see AAs speakin excellent patois in Brooklyn.

The Haitians used to be picked on even within the caribbean community because they are (and I hate to say it) the "most african" of all the islanders plus they are a very self-secluded ppl. So added with the "voodoo" stereotypes, they were picked on mercilessly by AAs and other caribbeans BUT, NOW? Esp. since they are here in large numbers, you wouldn't dare try that shyt! They will chop you before you can say "Hai"

true.

onila: they only like ethiopians

naw. ethiopia was hyped up in our part of the world during the sixties.
Now, nobody thinks of ethiopia except some rastas who make pilgrimage.

ok we have some in my house

but thats beside the point.

I heard that a lot about Haitians being "most Africans"..


But in Miami Florida AA's, Latinos or other Caribbeans wouldn't dare mess with Haitians. Down there Haitians don't play around compared to up north.

lol other caribbeans practically BOW to haitians in miami!

dont fck with the "zoes!"

BelaMorena:

I think Jamaicans are so violent(no offense) is because some of them have Ashanti blood and Ashanti's were true warriors. Just my 2 cents.

thats a stereotype.

i now some jamos who will cry if you yell at them.

Lol @ Zoe Pound.

Haitians down there seem to be more organized and successful.

KingMichael777:

We AA's are usually get along with Americanized Africans. But you're cool onila.

thats what am saying. .only the cool americanized Africans that are good looking

Many Caribbeanz are quite stuck up! its only the Jamaicans that are friendly

I asked why-some Jamaicans told me because they teach them African history @ secondary schools in Jamaica

BelaMorena:

thats a stereotype.

Those must be the ones with a lot of white blood.

KingMichael777:

Lol @ Zoe Pound.

they are.

they are like on some "mafia" type ish.

that is because a lot of them are ex cons who escaped from the island and brought the "slum mentality" with them from haiti.

some of them are killers! it's so rough that when some haitians are to be deported they would rather serve in american jails rather than go back home.

and the closeness of the US to haiti makes it much easier for the rough necks to settle in florida as opposed to going to NY where the more docile "hard working" haitians are.

The well educated Caribbeans are different though. You're average Caribbean is that well educated on African history. Jamaicans and Haitians on the other hand have a rich history compared to other islanders.

I know my Trini girls are stuck up.

Blyss:

Don't listen to that confused child. She claims that there is beef, I prefer the word confrontation, between she and I simply because I've been intolerant of her anti Black-American crap she's been spewing around here ever since she joined this dump, same as Kony, but he's a bit more militant than I. If you keep up your speaking out against her antics, then you too will be considered as "having beef with her" and hating Africans. That's just how shallow of girl she is, as well as many others around here.

I'm not just talking about crime, but a lot Haitians in Florida seem to own a lot of business and I hear they have their own TV stations.

hatians are cool too

the hatian men are quite crazy he was nice 2 me

he kept on saying how he survived the earth-quake

i have only met two hatians
