Black American Descendants of Chattel Slavery are the most marginalized group in this country, bar none. I think some of us tend to forget that the notion of "flat blackness", the one drop rule, or anyone of African descent claiming the "African American" identity, is a very Americanized creation that doesn't exist anywhere else. It's yet another hold over from slavery. We've been here for 400 years at least, and we're still having identity crises.

From what I've heard, most of the Black American descendants had been systematically pushed, or gentrified out of many urban NY cities in the 90s, which left room for a new foreign black base to fill the void. These Caribbean and continental Africans seem to have very different views on racial/ethic identity, which doesn't do any favors to the black descendants as those lines continually become more and more blurred.

We were never taught to be tribal like other groups, to protect our identities, cultures and customs. Our ancestors were too busy trying to survive. No one should take issue with DACS Blacks drawing lines of distinction, unless your success in some way depends on their identity being some kind of removable accessory available to all. These are serious discussions that need to be had, though I get why people shy away from it out of fear of being labeled xenophobic or trying to "police someone's blackness".

Oh well. It is what it is.

What's a "DACS Black"?
Descendants of African Chattel Slavery

basically an African American

*American

Spanish people literally do NOT think of Black people the way Black people think of Spanish people.


Opposites Attract.

If Black people don't want others to say Nigga they shouldn't say it either. 

The older I get I no longer feel comfortable looking at another black person and calling them a Nigga. There is just too much attached to that. 


It's unconditional, these days you know....

clearly none of these people have been to nyc Spanish and blacks call each other nigga

Y'all love saying this mess like it matters. Running from gunshots alongside Dayquan in the hood doesn't give Alejandra a pass to say nigga.     
well what can they say product of their environment

I think that this is a convo I can really only have with other folks from NYC.

It's almost like discussing annoying NYC tourists with someone who lives is Arkansas.

You're complaing about "why don't they just get out my fucking way...shit...MOVE!" and they're thinking "omg that's so mean and unnecessary...calm down :-/ "

U kinda have to be here to get what I'm saying.

Which is why I totally understand why some people don't get it.
And is also why I need to understand it's a waste of time continuing to explain it. Or attempting to.
