Yall don’t use aave

Slayedby_ty_ :

Since y'all claim yall been looking and dressing like us in the comments. Lets post our parents in the 70's and 80's 🤭

kingwickid :

As a Nigerian I understand Black Americans… Because everyone grew up with access and admired Black American culture, but at the same time we are kinda raised to look down or don’t be like Black Americans, so you will rarely see a Nigerian or anyone admit they were inspired by Black Americans

Alafia :

So essentially you’re asking us to share?

luwa :

girl i don’t even listen to them fr, IMMMMM EVERY NIGGAAAAA

Machaazah :

A lot of people speak English but do they use Ebonics/AAVE?? Also there’s a lot of Africans from the older generation that still dress and act as if they are on the continent so yes if you’re cosplaying ya cosplaying it is what it is..Also mind u most of yall say we have no culture but act like us so that’s why it’s push back

Melly💋 :

Lmaooo ive heard that too 😭😭 why would they think we wear traditional 24/7

the.law :

Almost everything you just said is irrelevant and dismissive

Kendo Wick :

There’s nun wrong when yall wear our women aesthetic. Yall just feel a way when we say it lol. If I moved to Lagos I would try to dress like yall

thelmaakasi :

Girl they love telling me I’m cosplaying and I’m really uncertain as to how like😂

jooliet :

afrocubano🇨🇺 :

M I L L S :

You’re gorgeous sis! All facts and they don’t understand intersectionality either. It’s bizarre. Oh well, we dgaf

Erika :

tethering

letsseewhatwecandooo :

I feel like it’s because a lot of yall maybe not you but a lot of yall say we don’t have culture. I believe a lot of the conversation around this can be very disingenuous because a lot of it is a response to a response not what’s being said first. Again, you might have not said that, but a lot of people who are not African-American do tend to tell African-Americans. We don’t have a culture while participating in the culture and things that we create.

african conversations

Danie Steel :

“The Diaspora Wars Are Beginning…” drumroll. A bit dramatic. Hopefully we won’t be wasting time on that.😭

Tarheel fresh🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 :

ssiemabo :

Chuck3x :

I understand what FBA is for now

Janelle :

This is exactly what we’re talking about …

cstephaniem17 :

Im seeing uk/lagos baddie aesthetic. So it was surprising to hear the aesthetic they think you are portraying 😭

tst2nd :

which is the thing most African children still proclaim themselves as Africans and celebrate their heritage but as I said they were raised in America and in a lot cases black American area which means they are influenced by the culture. Now you using your experience doesn’t entirely correlate to an African child as a reminder Africans are less than 5% of the black population in the country and black American culture is pushed everywhere in America so as long as you had a hub where you were around your people and the culture obviously you’ll maintain a strong connection with it most African children don’t know many other Africans outside of their immediate family or a nearby African immigrants so overall the cultural exposure they get is more American than African
