Title: I'm kind of upset about this... AA/African mess
Post by: tigernathan on February 27, 2016, 01:25:23 AM
Idk why but this has been on my mind a bit heavy

So earlier I was chatting with this lady and she was like "Where are you from" and I didn't really say anything then she was "I mean, what's your background" and I was like "Oh... I'm Ethiopian, my parents are from Ethiopia  :supluv: " and she was like "Oh but you told me earlier you're from here like... America"

:ohwow: :uhh:  I was like "Yea, I was born and raised here :uhh: " Like bitch, i'm a citizen :uhh: the fuck and she was like but you're not black :uhh: like black black. I lowkey started to fume then she was like... yea, I could tell you weren't like African American and you're from somewhere else.

This isn't the first time I've had someone said some ignorant shit like this but I was sad to hear this from a sista... an older natural haired black woman. I thought she would be a bit more... smarter than that.

I'm bothered :everythingok:

Some people have a really closed mind when it comes to stuff like that.
They kinda believe for example: to be Ethiopian, you have to be born in Ethiopia :dead:
and if you're born in America, you're American. :dead: :dead:

ppl ask my big sis that question a lot.

i wish i could see u lil sis :stressed: :stressed: i know ur stunn'

For many "black" equals African American, to me Obama isn't really "black", as in a descendant of American slaves, and in the U.S. for generations upon generations.
