c

I'm already home. My ancestors' blood are in the soil of this land. Their hands and backs built this land. I don't care what a cracker says different. I can trace back 5 generations. If this ain't home by now then...
AA history ain't always pretty cause we were once in chains but IT IS A HISTORY. A history that speaks to how resilient we are and how much we've overcome.

Non-American Blacks kill me with the "you need to go back home" rhetoric.  It feels like they are saying we as AA don't have shit to be proud of and are lost beings until we trace back to what part of Africa we are from.

eek

I'm living

Yeah, it's unfortunate the world wasn't allowed to flow naturally because of whites, but AA are their own people at this point

[GRAND ETERNAL SUPREME]

what exactly is the singular african american culture? there's so many differences among black americans based off region alone, so how is everyone somehow indebted to the carribeans?

Every girl also wants to claim their origins to feel authentic, I guess?

But they still want to live here

You're doing it in this thread

Nobody is claiming being African American is some GOLD accomplishment, but it's a culture that EVERYONE looks to for influence. Period.

Most Hip Hop historians claim that Hip Hop was formed in the South Bronx, during the 1970's, in the poor Afro- Caribbean, Latino – Caribbean, and African American mixed neighborhoods.

However, after viewing Founding Fathers: The Untold Stories of Hip Hop, it much more likely that elements of Hip Hop was developed throughout New York City's Afro- Caribbean, Latino- Caribbean, and African American communities, including Flatbush, Brooklyn and East Elmhurst, Queens. It began as a sub-culture between these neighborhoods. Hip Hop was non-mainstream music that most people only knew if they were involved in those communities, especially since it was most played in block/house parties. The Bronx is where all the elements of Hip Hop- graffiti art, break dancing, DJ-ing, rapping- were solidified and institutionalized. This formation of Hip Hop culture was facilitated by the Zulu Nation, a group formed by Afrika Bambaata during the 1970's.

Grandmaster Flowers and King Charles predated better known Hip Hop contributors, like DJ Kool Herc; however, both were also heavily influenced by Jamaican music. Grandmaster Flowers was not of Caribbean descent, but he did live in primarily West Indies community of Flatbush, Brooklyn. Participants of the documentary remember how he was one of the first people to play club music from a sound system during Carnival, instead of traditional Caribbean instruments, like the steel drum. He brought the West Indian community and African community together through music- like Hip Hop.

King Charles was originally from Jamaica and moved to East Elmhurst. He was noted for developing innovations to New York sound systems with knowledge from sound systems from the Caribbean, such as using a certain type of amplifier to create a heavy bass, like in reggae. People in the documentary noted they knew that King Charles was foreign, but they had little idea that his heritage influenced his music so much, so when he played music most Americans did not recognize his sounds as 'Caribbean,' just unique. This is an example of how Caribbean style contributions can sometimes go unrecognized, because the audience of the music, as spreaders of knowledge, did not know themselves.

DJ Kool Herc is widely considered one of the founding members of Hip Hop. He was born in Jamaica, but emigrated at the age of 12 to the Bronx.

my job here is done

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, are also considered founding members of Hip Hop. Grandmaster Flash was born in the Barbardos and moved to the Bronx when he was young. He is mostly known for building on breaking/ mixing/ scratching techniques used by earlier DJs, such as DJ Kool Herc. Another member of the group was called Kidd Creole, which points to Caribbean heritage

yeah yall gonna have to claim negro spirituals and rock n roll pre-elvis.

Hip Hop is a Caribbean TING

and what part of "home" is he talking about because aren't babies being kidnapped and raped all over Sudan rn?

maybe the parts where babies aren't being kidnapped and raped?

what about the parts where homosexuality isn't a literal crime or entire economies aren't being taken over by chinese businessmen?

I mean what about the parts where homosexuality isn't a literal crime or entire economies aren't being taken over by chinese businessmen?
And the way the states are going? criminalising Abortions, having anti LGBT bills passed through, black people being shot up everyday, immigrant kids being raped and then going missing, bodies turning up with organs missing...it ain't exactly the garden of Eden over there either SIS.

African, AA and Caribbean culture are all in dialogue with each other, yh things may have originated in Africa and things were brought over from there with slaves to the Caribbean then to the America's, including the Caribbean, but things get watered down, refined, modernised, inspired over time.
So we can't say AA culture is a direct influence of Caribbean culture and Caribbean culture is a direct line from African Culture
