The fact is we are not like them and it's funny to see the Caribbean and African communities feel a certain way when quiet as kept, this is what preached in the homes of these communities.

HISTORY... Slavery existed in all the Caribbean islands before slavery even existed in America. The caribs were enslaving and eating the Tiano/Arawak Indians. Islanders just dont understand the race division due to slavery. Even when they sent the Kings, Queens and royal family from America and the entire world to Jamaica to be broken during slavery and then later, the Irish and still, they unite rather than divide. Sny conversation you have starts there and so Islanders tend to not understand black Anericans and see them as people who cant move forward to greatness. When they talk about black greatness, to them black Americans are the ones who hold blacks back because its always about race. To Islanders, blackness is determine by sunlight, they see people coming to thier country, laying in the sun and trying to look like them so they know that thier skin is superior. Thiet skin is the greatest being chocolaty, smooth and strong. They dont understand black Anericans. To them, Black Americans see thier skin as inferior which to them is mental slavery. Every argument you will have with an Islander stems from there. I always tell people that black people are not a monolith and not all black people are the same. We are all different black people

A lot of Non blacks don’t wanna admit cos they don’t wanna seem like victims but a lot of FBAs are disrespectful to them unprovoked too. Use them, count them out, tell them to stop acting black but get mad wen they act yt.

HUH?!! What we aren't going to do is LIE. We didn't start this beef!! The Jamaican community BEEN on that disrepect since they got here. Stop it!!!

[@kingstonson9627]

​@@TanisCSOME Jamaicans have that attitude BUT MOST of us love our people around the world .also respectfully stop acting like you guys are always victims.i left Jamaica at 12 for ny then Miami....in Miami for example I WATCHED African Americans treat HAITIAN brothers and sisters like DOGS for NO reason .that's WHY Haitians started forming crews and warring with African Americans..so don't act like you guys are always innocent..it was done to African kids too they just didn't have enough numbers in school to fight back

I dont hear much the different countries in the europesn union bash each other. With ALL melanianed people it seems There is a culture of seperatism that must be done away with. Due to our shared trait of melanin I believe we all have commonalities we should focus and build on. Otherwise we do injustice to ourselves and teach our children to continue mindsets of division. Keeping them stagnated mentally. Lets elevate and put forth a better image worthy of our inherit beauty..imho . ❤

What is the difference between ADOS and FBA?

[@SynergyEnergy33]

There is no difference. Both titles refer to the native black-Americans who's ancestors have been here in the US for hundreds of years since the beginning of the age of slavery, and even before then.. during the age of indentured servitude back in the early 1600s, as is the case with mine.

[@Cahluvca]

Both are American Freedmen

[@rayleon7938]

No difference.. both are hate groups!

[@solarscience5815]

FBA are for FBA and no other blak ppl. To talk about "delineating" is so childish. I have no time and as long as FBA continue to talk about separating themselves I'm, as a pan African, going to encourage it. If FBA don't want to be around the diaspora blacks then go. bye bye. I'm tired of this entitled attitude some FBA have. I support all our ppl including FBA but not those who attack non FBA and not those clownish ones who want to remove themselves. it's ridiculous. We're one ppl simple tings

[@Aquil84]

Funny thing is this is on Twitter and not in real life. Are there petty differences that we play on against each other yea but I live around a bunch of Jamaican never an issue, just watched Noah Lyles in Jamaica and Justin Gatlin no issues. I understand this is for views but we have to understand propaganda and anti diaspora propaganda.

[@phyllisthompson4207]

AA love to come on here saying caribbean and African women are jealous of them. How many of these groups have you ever interacted with?? It all in your mind. No one is jealous of you! Stop talking nonsence !! Even if you were all in leadership positions in the world, no caribbean people would be jealous of you! There are great black acheivers all over this planet, whether theyre given credit for their contribution or not. You all have this mindset that you are exceptional , and you are not! Caribbean people excel wherever they go. The tallest building in Daubi was designed by a Jamaican, and i could go on and on. Other caribbean and Africans has contribute amazingly to civilization too.. It’s all in your mind, and you need to get over yourselves ! It is ignorant to generalize groups of people you dont even know, or interact with. You make a big deal over the comment one , or a few persons… Jesus Christ people, grow up!!! There are children dying in this world, even in our neibourhood !!!
