lets not act like african youths dont imitate that style in the continent and in america

[quote author=A.D.M. link=topic=732780.msg8929666#msg8929666 date=1313433586]Kony, there is no such thing as "black" people or "white" people or "brown" people or any other dumb color coded nonsense. Color doesn't equal race, especially since race is not real. Oh, by the way, America is a continent, not a country. Everybody in the western hemisphere is American technically. And whether you like it or not, you're African. Why? Look at the comment made by Denise216. By the way, Denise, why should a culture benefit humanity? How are cultures in West and Southern Africa not original? And the reason there's no cure for cancer is because the insurance companies look at healthcare as a business.[/quote]In modern times the term black was a word black americans embraced to describe ourselves. Its a word used to describe blacks in america not the entire diaspora. America is so influential that the term black became imposed on anyone that is darkskinned and of some type of african descent ie-caribbeans and africans


And north america is a continent, south america is a continent. But we all know america is used to describe the 50 states. In which we are from. Im from new york city and im an american not an african

[quote author=E-Engineer link=topic=732780.msg8914897#msg8914897 date=1313241560]we africans have the culture, the accent, the language
black americans are diluted africans
thats why[/quote]Black americans have culture aswell. And we dont need your languages. We are not diluted africans we're just americans that are black

like i said in the other thread. This video redefined swag

otis is growing on me ,mainly due to the video. Video defines swag

[b]"Generally (doesnt mean all) lazy, unmotivated to move out of the ghetto and give their kids a future, forever blaming slavery for why they cant brush their teeth, overly dependent on the government, violence-prone, criminally minded, irresponsible rearing of children with no family structure or hope for the future, mediocrity reigns supreme among them . . . "[/b

Another delusional african. Black america is this and that, yet black americans are the most successful and influential out of the entire diaspora. It no secret africans hate hard on BA's. o well get in line

lol shots fired lol


I f*ks with ghana though. They were one of the only african country's to show black americans love

solbil:
i am very sorry if i offended you. i am not posting to attack any one. i just want to know better.
i dont think africans are as bad as they are made out to be in the foreign media becos i see so many african medics,
engineers and all kind of professionals. i am asking this question becos we, here, hardly know you. the only way we get to see you is with the help of the media. any time black americans are been shown on tv, it is always in connection with hip hop(mtv) or prison(nat geo). you need to be here to know what exactly i am talking about.
but i believe you people are good people.

your full of it

U see plenty of black americans as host or hostess of shows,headlining events,starring in movies, on the cover of magazines etc

very good question

@k.o.n.y

Bruv, African influence is ancient, we've been doing it. It might be new to YOU. See, unlike you i don't have to limit African history to a few hundred years, we talking thousands. I'll leave you with this, till this day various EUROPEAN coat of arms have African Royal Heads printed on them (really think about that), the whole foundation of American civilization comes from Europe which in turn comes from Africans who controlled that region. You Talking about Politicians, Governors, Lawyers etc we taught them that, so who's really influencing?.

Breda, it's nothing but i still recognize your greatness.

@ima1

Come on, I'm well aware of their significance to the Black community, so it'll be silly to down them. But i rarely hear about the likes of Father Allah, Noble Drew Ali, Marcus Garvey, Khalid Muhammad in the mass media. We can go beyond the regular mentioned AA historical figures. That's just my opinion.

Alot of that is a stretch to really qualify as "african" influence. The only reason im keeping it about modern history. Is because black americans didnt exist thousands of years ago

And how do you figure ya can go beyond black historical figures. Most of which you listed didnt even have a wikipedia page. And the one that did, said he was a black american(khalid muhammad)

[quote author=A.D.M. link=topic=720089.msg8795031#msg8795031 date=1311707056]Both Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa and others were instrumental in hip-hop's creation, but Kool Herc did come up with the break. Bambaataa and others then used it.

There you go again with the "I'm-better-than-you" nonsense, as if the only stuff done by black folks that's positive are in the U.S. Look at comments by ezeagu and PhysicsQED for help in knowing things.[/quote]Hip hop was way way more than the break beat. Bam combined graffiti,break dancing,rhyming into hip hop. And he created hip hop beats, not funk or disco like kool herc, but HIP HOP(boom bap). Bam and black americans created hip hop period. Im originally from bronx river projects same place bam is from. I know.

And i was wrong for saying the african diaspora doesnt create anything. But im just saying, black americans do the most. Compare bob marley to michael jackson for instance.

[/quote]OK so what do black americans deserve?. Your talking about people who first came to america AS SLAVES. Fckin SLAVES. And we didnt get sh/t. Like i said fuc native americans

fuk native americans. Black americans were taken here against our will. I have no sympathy for native americans. THEM IDIOTS GOT RESERVATIONS and casinos. What did the black man get?
