People from elementary school are still in my dreams at night man

Being black is weird bc u think u get used to all the racism but sometimes it just kinda like. Hits you. And now im holding back tears at work abt it

Juniper Blessing, 19, has been identified as the Trans teenager who was murdered in Seattle, WA on May 10, 2026. RIP Juniper, I am so very sorry this happened to you. #TransLivesMatter #WontBeErased

my biggest fear on here is someone thinking i’m white

got inspired

idk who needs to hear this but being black and living in america does not make you a Black American. thats an ethnicity. you are literally just a racially black person living in america. and thats ok lol

This AAVE/Ebonics convo is interesting. Yall know damn well if somebody said BAs helped create Patois or some shit, yall would be pissy

That’s how much they don’t see us as ppl. It doesn’t occur to them even for a nanosecond that the word started as a slur & we reclaimed it. A young Yemeni deli boy to me in Harlem yrs ago @ counter, “but I’m from the hood.” Poverty don’t make u black. Black don’t mean poverty.

Field trip day with this little earth dog 🗽❤️

So much "stolen valor", taken away from the Enslaved and their children and given to groups that came in the last couple of decades. Sorry, you don't get to write my ancestors out of shit to make yourself feel better about your role in this country

it’s always “we’re ALL black” when black americans wanna differentiate our culture from others

Pretty soon they’re gonna be claiming soul food came from them when just a few years ago they were calling it “slave food,”

so yall helped shaped ebonics but you also assimilated into it but it’s also forced on you due to imperialism but it’s also bcs you grew up around black americans and adopted their slang but you were also bullied into speaking but you’re also-

the irony is y’all already use the N word so it don’t hurt my feelings at all it just make u look crazy. you on the other hand, you never had everyone calling you a wetback spic all at once. you mad as fuck

If your ancestors weren’t enslaved in America you’re NOT Black American. It’s totally ok to stop forcing yourselves into our stories. Yall went from spitting on our story and cultures to claiming it. And adding lies to it all putting yourselves in it.

A lot of Africans act like Black American culture was promised to them 400 years ago

reminder that this is about slavery, not just an aesthetic quote to use for fandoms

they have switched from saying black americans have no culture to now saying our culture is so persuasive that it’s impossible to live in America and not pick it up. LMAO which one is it folks

they are calling it “FBA brainrot” when you tell them that they are African or Caribbean because they have african or caribbean parents who immigrated here & it doesn’t matter if they were born here or been here they whole life or grew up around black americans and listen to Migos and eat at Cookout. you ethnically African or Caribbean by blood. apparently this is a hot take

it’s because our identity as black americans is a double edged sword, they hate us for being american. yet they feel a sense of entitlement and ownership to us
