Twitter pulls you into the political cesspool. I share my thoughts on a number of topics. I like facts, or what used to be common sense. I prefer anonymity.

Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois are often compared and contrasted, and what I find most interesting is that once you separate the valuable from the invalid, they were not in opposition and both mindsets were necessary. This was again seen with MLK and Malcolm X.

@hinpjd @water___0 Their eyes aren't any more East Asian looking than they are African looking, even if I may not have a 1:1 match right this moment.

@Jttru789 @hhhhhhbbhhbbbb @water___0 No, other way around entirely. Khoekhoe and San diverged far before other Africans even migrated out of Africa and gave rise to the line which would become East Asians.

A challenge to pretentious Black American nationalists. Find me any picture of your people wearing locs or detailed braiding styles before the 1950s. That's not something you retained, it's something you learned during the Black power/Afrocentric wave. We can play gatekeep too...

North America isn't where our racial lineage began, nor is it where we're indigenous. Being here in North America DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE'RE FROM North America. By your logic, if Black people start a family in China, they're Black Asian, from Asia. That's not how this shit works.

"black prison" is crazy. And they'd be genetically/racially HALF Black/African. Of African descent. Because Black Americans are predominantly African, otherwise we wouldn't be Black. So, we're from Africa. We're African Americans, we're not "from North America," you imbecile.

@NorfeastGroovin @fbanwa9 I'd much rather deal with Africans and Caribbeans than mixed out and deeply colonized "Latinos." Dealing with the former two builds us all up with actual effort, we don't benefit much at all from dealing with the latter. It's a waste of time and energy.

@fbanwa9 It sounds good right, but the community of FBA’ers concentrate their hatred for Africans and Afro Caribbeans as if their killing us like the brown unity that they keep taking about

@FairohPrimaris @NorfeastGroovin @fbanwa9 As if our own music and style doesn't draw from African inspirations. They're the same people, different cultures. Mainly Ghanaians and Nigerians, we share heritage. Fuck off if you're going to throw a fit over them taking inspiration from us and collaborating with us.

@NorfeastGroovin @fbanwa9 Fuck outta here. No one even mentioned Africans. Africans out here trying to lay claim to black American culture like they started it, while they butcher RnB and call it Afro beats. Fuck outta here.

Black people in the new world adapted and innovated their traditions in their new environment. To illustrate we'll be taking a look at Afro-American material culture, specifically basketry🪢 #BlackHistoryMonth

This Black history month. This month, I encourage all of us to work towards undoing some of the pervasive myths that circulate around Black African and Afro-Diasporan history and culture. One of these myths is the idea that Afro-Diasporans were "stripped" of their identity. 🪢

@Q_theruler @MRIFree338800 That should bring you some shame, but I know it doesn't. And that's what we need delineation on, in truth. You need to "separate" yourselves from us African Americans and go be "Black North Americans" without attaching yourselves to conversations that allegedly don't involve you.

@Q_theruler @MRIFree338800 They all align on the fact that we're African Americans? American-born citizens of African descent? The descendants of kidnapped Africans who were stripped from their families and sold into slavery? It is interesting how even yt supremacists are more real than y'all are.

@MRIFree338800 @RaceGated With the logic we've got going on here, wouldn't he be Black Chinese? If he went to China with a black woman and started a family, they're from China? No?

@athsoc @thaathebrewboyy -foster a connection and build solidarity between Afro Americans and Africans. That's something I still wish to see and promote, because it's happening every single day despite every online fight. I think these are the "growing pains," unfortunately.

That was a major drive in the 1960s and 1970s with activists/leaders, athletes, musicians, producers, and other creatives of the time. Various speeches and events such as the Zaire 74 music festival were meant to-
