I deadass just want Black people to all come together buy an island or some shit and just disappear. The only White person allowed on our island is Jane Elliott. If you a Black boy who worships White girls, you gotta stay in the states. I wish this could really happen. A land just for Black people. Could you imagine?
I’d pick somewhere tropical, where it’s always warm. We’d have fresh mangos and papayas. Fresh fruit and veggies. We’d all have natural hair and tans. We’d have our culture all to ourselves. No one stealing our fashion or baby hairs. The island would be filled with Black love, Black businesses, Black schools, Black everything. Man oh man. Only in my wildest dreams. The U.S. would crash.
I would honestly love this.
All the famous black people who can afford there own islands need to look out… This would be amazing
Islands are lowkey affordable! They cheaper than a college education. If we could find an island the size of the U.S. Boyyyyyyyyyy! I would be out. I would do everything in my power t get us over there.
We can grow our own produce. Produce our own hair and skin products. We’d have fashion designers who made our clothes. Mannn, our own movie theaters and attractions. That place would be amazing.
Fuck an island! I say we just take our asses to Africa with our fellow black and brown people
Unfortunately they don’t want us either :(
^ facts.. I’m with this island movement. It sounds so beautiful and serene 😢 and safe.
^and that right there is the bullshit that keeps us separated. Y'all ever been to Africa? So tell me how you know a whole CONTINENT don’t want y'all @she-dontlye @kimreesesdaughter ? Was it the American news that’s been showing y'all African people as poor, starving children with flies on your face , and naked women in villages. Or was it the immigrants who y'all have watched ppl laugh at, degrade, make fun of right ? It’s crazy because African-American people can empathize with the psychological, emotional and physical pain of other African-Americans and other POC, but won’t stop to empathize and think about the pain of your African counter part. Have y'all ever thought maybe they don’t want y'all there because of how y'all treated the African immigrants who’ve came before? Teachers, doctors, politicians belittled into taxi drivers, working in nursing homes where they get called nigger by the old white people who asses they wipe, homeless, and penniless and in all this just to get hate from people who look like them. But let’s put that aside for now. In this time of pain and injustice, the one home you have you don’t think of as an option because someone doesn’t want you there. Your birth given right? You would allow someone to take that from you too? Haven’t y'all lost enough rights already? But many of y'all forget you did go back. My country, Liberia, was made from slaves who returned back to their homeland. But the biggest idea I’m trying to put out here, because I don’t want y'all to think I’m shitting on y'all, is the fact that separated we are nothing, the continued separation of our people will be our downfall. If we don’t kill these ideas that one group doesn’t want another or these people think they’re better then those ppl , America will always have their foot up our ass.
I ain’t read all that but check this out. I didn’t get this idea from no damn commercial. I’m from a place we call PG County and it is heavily populated with Africans. Africans I went to high school with that never let me forget that I was not from Africa nor did I know where my bloodline came from because Detroit wasn’t a good enough answer. I will never forget in 12th grade during spirit week, we had culture day and all of them got to wear dashikis and beautiful headwraps and turbans. I wore White, Red and Blue because that’s all I know. My best homegirl was African, do you know what she said? “You are nothing but a slave. Your people are White men’s property.” I will never forget how hard they laughed at the fact I didn’t know my heritage. & let’s not discuss how I was treated by their families. Don’t set up here and act like there isn’t a divide. You full of shit and you probably have never had the experiences A LOT of us have had with Africans. We didn’t make any African immigrants become Taxi drivers. How dare you blame that on us…We fight the same stigma y’all do. White people don’t see Liberia vs. Oxon Hill, Maryland. They see Black. I’m disgusted that you just placed blame on Black people. This is what I’m talking about.
& Look how you spoke to me...You assumed I had a preconceived notion and not an experience. That’s what y’all do though because A LOT of you presume Black Americans to be uneducated, lazy and less than. Exactly how the Africans we grew up with treated us. You just proved that with your response.
So I fully read your response , and gave it the thought that it needed. I’m not finna give you the “not all Africans” rn but if you had bothered to read what I said instead of dismissing it and being close minded, the same thing we accuse white people of, you would no that I did not dismiss your experience. I asked you have you ever been to Africa? How do you know a whole continent hates you?
That part was in the first few lines , hopefully you read that.
I also didn’t assume you had a preconceived notion because you proved it when you said “unfortunately they don’t want us too”. Last time I’m checked if you don’t know someone and you assume they don’t like you….that’s a preconceived notion.
I personally don’t know all the Africans in PG County, just like you don’t know all the people in Africa that you assume don’t want you. I’m not gonna discredit your experience because I’ve seen African people say that shit before. But I’ve also had grown ass AA man tell me my African pussy smells like fish (age 10), had African American people tell us to go back to our country, SPEAK ENGLISH AFRICAN BOOTY SCRATCHER. From a bitch who looked as black as me. Both of our experiences are valid.
I didn’t point a finger and say African Americans are the reason for it. Maybe just maybe sweetheart if you had given me the respect of reading it like I did yours you would see the main point I made is separation of cultures will be our downfall.
So instead of wanting to be cute and sassy, grow up and have a conversation with someone. Don’t get confrontational because someone else’s opinions don’t mirror yours. You wanna curse the moment somebody don’t agree with u. You think I like the things you say, No. But I will address you like an adult.
So I don’t need you to bold things out sweetheart, I can read. Be an adult about it because people are dying and that us vs. them mindset in our own communities will keep that prevalent.
Now read that.
Tumble has adds and now boosted posts…don’t y’all ever get tired of ruining things @staff ?
