I’m going to say what I posted in another comment: Accountability is hard for Black people bc the oppression and global anti Blackness that we experience makes us feel like it out weighs whatever wrong we may do.

Glittøris :

America absolutely does have a Xenophobic problem. If you’re born here regardless of your race you can absolutely be xenophobic and have xenophobic ideas. I don’t think anyone is refuting that. The problem is that black Americans are automatically being blamed. And just because it’s not YOU who’s blaming them doesn’t take away the fact that there’s been so many people who are not black American talking about this incident blaming us. When in the end we don’t know who the hell did it.

no :

It’s mass gaslighting 😭

star 🧡🤍🩷 they/them :

no bc how did “everyone can be xenophobic regardless of race and class” turn into this???

MoJo-Jojo :

Nothing you said was wrong in any manner. 1. America does have a deep xenophobia problem. The country has a lot od bigoted ideologies, i do not understand how pointing this one out is such a hot take. 2. the situation is indeed due to the xenophobia. No one is being "wreckless" about anything by pointing that out. 3. "diaspora wars" please get out of my face.

ali_cia :

Is America going through a simulation that the rest of the world does not know about??? Definitely disingenuous conversations and intellectual dishonesty being had...

Kamar :

You’re better than me auntie hope you’re doing well

Sabrina :

The incorrect use of the term xenophobic on this app 😭😭

I'm half African American and half Nigerian (Igbo). My mother is African American and my dad is Nigerian (RIP) and my mother loves Africans, especially West Africans. All of the anti-African rhetoric that you see online is coming from FBAs. FBAs is a small cult within the African American/Black American community and they're ideology is rooted fascism, nationalism, American exceptionalism, afrophobia, anti-blackness, colorism, featurism, and conservatism. There will be some African Americans/Black Americans irl that have an FBA mentality and you should nof associate yourself with them. However, I'm pretty sure that most of African Americans irl don't act like FBAs and most of us don't want to be associated with FBAs. African Americans/Black Americans live in a predominantly white country and the United States is a white supremacist country and we are taught white superiority and African inferiority. African Americans/Black Americans are taught that Africa is a backwards continent and there is negative stigma associated with Africanness, which why self-hate, colorism, featurism, Afrophobia, and internalized antiblackness exist in the African American/Black American community. African Americans/Black Americans who bully Africans, Caribbean people, and other African Americans hated themselves. Black people just need to decolonize our minds and do better! I hope to see African liberation in my lifetime.

I hate how much division this is causing. When this could instead be a point of trying to come to understanding and learning for this country. Why can’t everyone just listen for understanding! The same tactics that white people use to silence BA voices is what they are using to try and silence these lived experiences. Why can’t we sit back, listen, learn, and continue to advocate if we are truly “all black.” I do think the timing of this conversation is very unfortunate, a child just died, and this should be bringing us all together to mourn/ fight against bullying . But I do think it’s important to have conversations like this. Everyone is thinking so black and white.

I couldn’t have said it any better than you.

i don't think ppl realize no one is safe under a fascist regime. even some ppl who are apart of privileged demographics are still being targeted. ppl will never learn.....

Some people will resent anyone who want better lives for themselves, and children. For them the only thing your kids deserve are- generational tr*uma and perpetual pov3rty. If people can resent their own for moving out of the hoods, to the suburbs for better lives. If these people can resent their own, for being funny, whimsical, bubbly. If these people can h8 their own, who married well, live nice lives, drive nice cars, have a partner that loves them unconditionally, and have generational wealth set aside for their kids. Who are we?

Ijeoma :

FBAs are the Black MAGA of the African American/Black American community. They're the Black hillbillies of Black people.

mightsnaketulips :

“you cannot be xenophobic to natives of a country” lmaooo you ate with that.

Imani📚 :

As a Black American I never once saw anything wrong with what you said. You’ve always been a champion for us so screw those FBAs. I’m happy you didn’t let them get to you
