@infinitebey: Two Africans openly acknowledge something that deserves a real convo: Black Americans have had an undeniable influence on global culture. From hip-hop & R&B to fashion, hairstyles, slang, dance & the very idea of what was considered “cool,” Black American culture traveled far beyond the United States. The African man explains that growing up in Nigeria, artists like Boyz II Men, Jodeci, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre & Aaliyah shaped what his generation viewed as cool. This isn’t about putting African culture down. It’s about giving Black American culture its proper recognition & respect for the influence it has had around the world. The question is: Can we acknowledge cultural influence without turning it into a competition? #fba #indigenous #nativetiktok #nativeamerican #aboriginal
