Yikes Yh you're definitely one of those hotep types
Everyone and all the non American blacks against African Americans!
:holdupguys:

I have a very low tolerance for BA slander. You can call it whatever you like. I'm not one of these new blacks who act overjoyed just because a white person shows them some attention. 🤷🏾‍♂️
what are you even yammering on about
Are you that upset because she went to the carnival?
:dead:

Dr Naomi Campbell

and who was slandering African Americans
There were tweets saying the SAME thing to Non African Americans jdjdjd
Why do y'all pick and choose when you're offended :dead:

Its kinda always been a common perception that Africans think they're better than Americans, but it never seemed that deep. It wasn't until I started seeing all the ADOS/FBA stuff on twitter that I realized how serious people are about it. It's really silly in the grand scheme.
Used to write our names in car fog

Why does it even matter? You just called me a "hotep", and not in endearing terms. It's either because you don't understand what I'm saying or you don't care to. What you think or don't understand is not my problem or responsibility. 🤷🏾‍♂️

After my experience in Europe last summer.... I could understand why other cultures don't use Americans.. just from something I did myself. :dead:

I think Americans can be very "unconsciously" entitled. We don't genuinely try to learn/adjust to a new culture.. we almost still expect our cultural comforts to be accommodated. And it's completely unintentional though. SDDDSSSS We unconsciously assume everything operates from our American perspective and at the same time, we ALSO unconsciously assume that others will adjust for us. I heard that's mainly why the French don't see it for it us.. and I get it now. :dead: However, I didn't have ANY bad experiences with the French. They were extremely kind and helpful. My little incident actually happened in London (thank GOD), but she was very sweet when she informed me how they DO things.

When I was in Paris, I had no problems at all. But once I relocated to southern France they didn't even try to hide it  :dead:
My French wasn't good at all and people who could speak English STILL would only speak to me in French. They weren't here for Americans at all lol

while we on the topic

why do africans tend to act like theyre better than american blacks? what is the difference they see?
the same reason why American blacks tend to feel they're better than Africans
Ignorance
:udontlookok:

i have not experienced that sentiment. american black uphold african culture. not attacking anybody here, genuinely asking based on actual observation

klappa.

This one sided story is old and inaccurate
Both sides def come for each other all the time, one party isn't completely innocent :dead:
Some of the West Indies gorls we're defending Adele because she was brought up in an area where West Indies are dominant :dead:
The AA's got pissed and saw that was them being passive and weak and got all sensitive decided to mess about lack of culture

oh my question had nothing to do with adele, idk how/why u connected that king, but

if, from your perspective , africans feel they are getting this treatment from african americans and are simply returning the sentiment that makes sense, answers my question , and can open up the convo. no ones experience is "inaccurate" bby.
