Hey guys, I am new here, I want to ask you what do you think about African Americans? Are they giving Africans bad name? And have you heard about "Black Is King"

IMO for you to be an African American, you have to be an American citizen in addition to having the citizenship of at least one African country.

Those people that are usually called African Americans are actually Black Americans.

Black American are Americans and have nothing to do with Africa.

Thanks for the answer but don't you see them as distant relatives? And have you heard about "Black is king"?

One of the most racist people you can find are black Americans...

Imagine your distant cousin calling you monkey?

No my friend I am not a 4chan user.

I can understand that, Have you seen the trailer of "Black Is King"?

I think it's stupid and it shows that African Americans think that Africa is some Wakanda shit.

I just watched the trailer and I can't really understand what it is supposed to be.

Is it a new series or something? If so, why is it so vague?

That's the innate division Du Bois spoke about, it's terrible phenomenon for the negro race

They have black skin so I guess a kind of kindred spirit may exist, but to pretend that they are Africans is not sincere.

It's suppose to be a movie about Africa.

Another r/the_donald and 4chan user invading an African forum. Your presence everywhere trying to induce seperatism between Africans and our brothers and sisters in the US just shows that you guys come are now desperate and scared.

A king can only be enslaved for so long before he rises to fight back for his throne.

Brother I am Ethiopian Jew. I am not a 4chan user, and I don't browse r/the_donald. And believe me when I tell you they don't like you and me.

Alessandro9021:

I will need a proof that you are an Ethiopian jew. Otherwise you are just saying shit. Anyone can claim to be anything on the internet in a bid to try to push a message.

Whatever you say, African Americans are our brothers and sisters. A direct descendant of friends and families of hundreds of millions of US (Africans) and their fight for justice has had several positive effect for Africans around the world regardless of what you think or say.

Now I still need that proof you are an Ethiopian jew and not a incest bred trump supporter.

I am brother, do you want me to type in Hebrew? To send a pic of my hand + place of residence? To send pics of Ethiopian art I have at my house? Just tell me I will do it

Please stop using some ignorant African Americans and some Africans to divide us.

We have ignorant Nigerians that want to march in support of Trump knowing full well how African Americans feel about him.

I also saw the flag of Biafra in the crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters.

So ignore ignorant people no matter how educated like Skip Gate of Harvard.

I don't know why they have AFRICAN AMERICAN as a name for a group of people but wont have EUROPEAN AMERICAN.


Shit!

You are for real. That's actually good to know. So what reservations do you have about African Americans? Perhaps we can educate each other

It's nice that you believe me, from my interaction with African Americans, they seem to hate Africans, think of them as less, and use them as a convinient way to make themselves more proud, for example in the "Black is king" movie, Beyonce was never in Africa, Disney+ is not in Africa, but she is still making money and making false assumptions about Africa. Of course that doesn't mean every African American is like this but this was most of my interactions with them. What do you think?

Them you call him or her monkey too. Problem solved.

No. Most likely because you are Nigerian and not African. Nigerians have a bad reputation in the world.

In addition, becuase you had interactions with one or two African Americans doesn't mean you should paint them all with the same brush.
It's like you have a bad experience with a few Nigerian scammers, then go ahead and paint all Nigerians as bad people.

Mind you, I have Ethiopian friends and other African friends married to African Americans.
You will always find ignorant and uneducated people among every tribe or race.

Good for them, I just told you my experience.

I just told you my experience too. Mind you I live in North America.

Yeah it was pretty obvious, what do you think about the problems of the African American community? Like crime, bad culture etc. Do you think it's changing for the better?

It will be unfair if I call all Ethiopian or Somalian Americans refugees becuase a large number of them migrated to North America as refugees.
