Words From Fat Joe to 50 Cent

Nigerians try so hard to be like Americans that they delude themselves.  African Americans do NOT respect Africans.  Do all African Americans feel this way?  Of course not, I have African American friends.  But at the same time, plenty of them resent us.  Even at the university level, you still hear some say how they think Africans walk around naked and live in huts.  And then they resent Africans for doing better than them academically and claim that we are taking their spots rather than blaming the U.S. system that deliberately allows only a small number of blacks to excel, whether you're African or African American.  You think African American rappers respect Africans?  The few times they do refer to Africa, it's usually not in a positive way.  And then you have the African Americans that try to get back to their African roots, but of course they follow an African American idea of what it is to be African rather than truly associate with Africans. 
And to the person that said African Americans resent Africans and blame us for them being sold into slavery.  That's true.  I've heard it before from people, and I even heard it out of Tupac's mother's mouth.  She told African Americans that they came from kings and queens (something I've grown so tired of hearing) and told them that the reason Africans didn't like them was because they thought African Americans were dirty and bad and that's how they got here.  She said African kings chose whoever they didn't like and sent them here and that's why Africans don't think positively of African Americans.  Not only was that garbage, but it didn't even address the fact that Africans have more bad experiences with blacks than whites.  Of course, blacks never address their stereotypes of us.  They just say we don't like them.  Elaine Brown, a former Black Panther, said the same thing, and when she said it, black Americans in the audience voiced their agreement.  As for African hip hop, African Americans probably don't even know what it is.  Do you know how many Nigerians in the U.S. don't listen to it?   

If you want to understand the relevance, scroll back up and see the arguments that were NOT related to Fat Joe and 50 Cent but were instead talking about how African Americans perceive Africans and that you were involved in along with segun06 and casper. 50 Cent is one of those African Americans, whether you'the like to acknowledge it, but if you want something that you consider relevant, then 50 Cent is garbage and he's played out.

Fat Joe aint got Nothing on Fiddy.He is trying to be in too many Places now. i saw him in the new Jim Jones video with P. Diddy and Paul Wall and at the Bet awards he was onstage with Mike Jones. slow ya role baby!! 50 aint scared of Nobody!!

I mean 50 Cent is a nobody who tries to make himself big by starting beef with everyone. He's a wannabe Tupac, glorifying how he got shot and then starting beef with Ja Rule, even when Ja Rule tried to avoid it. Even when Louis Farrakhan tried to mediate peace between the two of them, 50 Cent refused - he prefers to be a troublemaker. What reason did he have to start beef with Fat Joe? Because he's a troublemaker.
Even when it has nothing to do with him, he seeks strife. After Hurricane Katrina and people throughout the U.S., especially blacks, criticized the nation's lack of response and Kanye West said that Bush didn't care about black people, 50 Cent would be the sell out to contradict Kanye West. 50 Cent is rich because it's mainly white kids buying his stuff, and most of these mainstream rappers who are endorsed by white people are supported because they bring nothing positive to blacks.
50 Cent caused beef with The Game for a while just because The Game refused to get involved with his beef with Ja Rule. Lastly, he is a horrible role model for young black Americans who idolize him. He's even coming out with some sort of violent comic strip, and who buys comic strips? CHILDREN! I have no respect for the man. Then when violence is continually perpetuated in black communities, people wonder why when you have idiots like 50 Cent as their role models. And now, he's arrogant enough to make a vibrator for his female fans, claiming it's for those fans who want to get closer to him. That's why I say he's played out. His music is derogatory and trifling and I don't understand why people are obsessed with him.

i hate people been mean 2 50cents

oh,don't say that to my poor 50cents
