Shame on you, KZbin creators, for perpetuating discrimination against other black people for likes and money. Instead of spreading misinformation, take a trip to Jamaica and ask the locals about their thoughts on Americans. Remember, Jamaica's motto is 'Out of Many One People' - a powerful symbol of unity and diversity. It's time to debunk the myth that Jamaicans think Black Americans lack culture. In reality, Jamaicans love and welcome Black Americans, which is why so many visit their shores. Don't sacrifice the unity of black people worldwide for fleeting fame and fortune. We're stronger together, and our differences are far outweighed by our commonalities. Let's stand united, respecting and uplifting each other as one people.

Ok, lets solve the problem, theres an African American Reperations Fund on GOFUNDME, lets shut this shit down right now, if we wont work together on this I dont know what to tell yall, $1 x 1m people = $1m. Now imagine doing that 50 times. $50 from ever black person in America could change our entire community, but lets see what the real problem is. I dont understand why we are still waiting on them people to change something for us, wtf are we 12? Do we need our hand held? WHY ARE WE WAITING??? The lady from Tulsa is a prime example, shes still alive and they still threw the case out for her Reperations, I cant sit here and watch us become sitting ducks for another 4 years, time and time again they have shown us they do not give a Fuc About us, they gave the immigrants free housing and debit cards before they gave it to their own veterans who actually sacrificed for us to be here. They will do everything in their power to keep us in the working class WAKE UP and stop relying on somebody else to do the job for us, we have the resources. $1 from at least half of us every other week is enough to OFFICIALLY build Black Wallstreet just like Chinatown in every major city in America. 1 street with all those scattered black businesses moved there, Doctors,lawyers,financial advisors,restuarants, boutiqes, dentist, temp angencies ect. All on 1 street and all from $1. Were making it more complicated than it has to be. All the money goes into furthering any POC's financial stability and ideas as long as they support, if those people dont support they do not deserve to reap the benefits. Lets build Black Wallstreet please, yall making my head hurt, its not that hard

​​Actually the civil rights movements was in a lot of ways inspired and influenced by the African Liberation Movements that were taking place in Africa. Many African nations were at the time were taking back their freedom from the colonizers. Which is why people like Malcom X, MLK, Harry Belafonte and other Civil rights activists visited Africa to meet with the African leaders who were successful in gaining freedom for their people. Ghana gained its independence in 1957, and Martin Luther King was among those who were invited to attend the independence day celebration. Its was the de-colonization efforts being made in Africa that influenced Black American leaders to start really pushing for civil rights in America. The Black Panther Party borrowed a lot of their practices directly from the uprising that was taking place in Africa. At some point the two efforts began to support one another. The civil rights movement and the African liberation movement began feed off of one another making it a global conversation. Many African nation had already successful gained their freedom but once the two movements joined efforts it created a chain reaction that lead to the successful passing of the Civil Rights Act and an uprising that lead to the freedom of many other African nations.

Unfortunately the ignorance about Africa is not surprising at all. Countries have very little to do with cultures in Africa. The different cultures are more associated with the tribes/ethnic groups that have existed long before America was a thing (before slavery even).

For those that can't fathom it, there are more native languages in Nigeria alone than the entire Europe. The ignorance is actually funny

African American culture has been marketed and distributed around globally. That's one reason why it's so popular. We all have culture. What differentiates us of African descent is our traditions, rituals, and customs. In certain African villages and towns, they celebrate specific culture festivals dedicated to an event or persons. I'm from New Orleans, and our culture is unlike anywhere else in the continental USA. We have daily, weekly, monthly and yearly Afro Creole cultural activities that define our lives. There's traditions we uphold. There's rituals we perform. There's customs we pass on to the youth. It's in our foods, speech, spirituality, music, and dance. Jazz Funerals and Secondlines are good examples. This African amalgamation of ethnicities became who we are today. It's in our DNA. Start where you stand.

[@jisselleporter4384]

I agree that Black Americans have been the blueprint and have contributed to so many things that we have today in America, and that culture continues to spread globally. However, to come on here and complain about people diminishing Black American culture while diminishing other cultures to prove your point isn't okay. When discussing Pop Culture, many things Black Americans have greatly contributed to come from the inspiration of the diaspora, which does not diminish the work of the Black American pioneers. When discussing the genre of Hip Hop, the Caribbean was 100% a starting ground for that. If you do any research, you would see that the genre + culture of dancehall is prominent in Hip Hop, not to mention many of our early Hip-Hop icons are of Caribbean descent. So I think giving flowers when it's due is as important as acknowledging all contributions within the diaspora.

[@down-b8197]

How was the caribbean a starting ground for hip hop if hip hop has direct ties to disco, funk, jazz and the blues? Hip hop was created in the early 1970s while dancehall was created in the late 1970s so how would dancehall be prominent in hip hop if hip hop is older and once again... it's directly connected to Disco and we all know disco wasn't influenced by dancehall or any caribbean music.

[@Eclecticinsanity]

Yoruba as a language predates the modern English language by over 5 centuries. Black Americans are just funny people, the reason why people "dress like you" is because of Hollywood. Hollywood created the "cool black kid" character in almost every sitcom in the 70s and 80s. Hollywood has always had an insane reach, so the more kids consumed that content, the more they wanted to dress like those characters. It's like how everyone including black people wanted to learn martial arts due to the volume of those kind of movies Hollywood made back then. Same thing is happening with japanese and Korean culture, thanks to manga and kdrama. There is nothing special about black American "culture", baseball hats were made for "baseball", Nike shoes were made for basketball. The fact that some of those companies made you guys mascots and had Hollywood sell that image doesn't mean it was made for you. It doesn't originate with you. Our culture originates with us, our languages, our cuisine all originates with us. Frying originated in Africa, consumption of chicken originated in Israel, water melon is indigenous to west Africa, your mothers wear big hats to church because there is a festival of hats in Nigeria, the braids you harass people for originated in Namibia etc. Give me something original about you guys

The agbada clthes in Nigeria.. etc In music.. Have these American guys ever had about the African soukous.. or the Congolese rumba in Ningala that dominated Africa on the 60s..70s .. 80s and 90s.. not to talk about the Nigerian power stars.. Prince Niko .. In food.. Africa has foo foo.. gari.. ugali. cassava leaves... so many more cultural foods that can not be listed.. So please remember that Africa has 54 countries with a well diverse culture.. Africa invented their own music.. built their own drum and banjo sticks.. and so on.. So for this guy to come out here and say that Africa doesn't have a culture is a joke.. . . And you must know that Africa has been in existence way before the founding of America.. there's so much that's been happening in Africa that's not being written or recorded in history..

That first point the guy on the right made was weird, yeah the Berlin conference and colonialism created modern day countries in Africa, but these countries essentially just grouped together different tribes and these tribes have existed for centuries before colonialism, and is still deep rooted in us today. For example Nigeria you have 3 major tribes Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa all with their own foods, languages, music, marriage tradition, clothing materials and their own political ideologies they live by and are still relevant through us as we live today. Thats African culture and has existed wayyyy before black American culture. Also African countries have 100s of tribes within them all with their own cultures and traditions too so for someone to say Africans don’t have culture or even question our culture would be insanely bizarre, Africans are very proud people and we show out and express our culture(s) no matter where we are.

Culture is using our influence to popularize a style of dressing, making it synonymous with Black culture. Clothes are just fabric, regardless of who manufactures them.

It’s misleading to talk about "tribalism" in Africa without considering the context. The groups often labeled as "tribes" are culturally, genetically, and linguistically distinct, as different from each other as separate nations. Many of these tribes were, for thousands of years, more like sovereign nations, separated by geography and culture. When colonial powers imposed artificial borders, forcing different groups into the same "country," it naturally led to conflict. Tribalism, in itself, isn’t inherently bad. It simply refers to a strong sense of identity and loyalty to one's group, which is not problematic in this context. The negative view of tribalism is largely due to how it’s been demonized, particularly in Africa. We don’t see the same label applied when ancient empires like the Romans or Ottomans conquered and subjugated other European peoples, despite being from the same continent and sharing similar ethnicities. Conflicts between African groups, however, are often dismissed as "tribalism," while European or Asian conflicts are seen through the lens of empire-building or political conquest, why is that? The selective use of the term 'tribalism' to describe African societies overlooks the fact that the conflicts in Africa are often the result of colonialism, artificial borders, and external interference, rather than some inherent divisiveness within African cultures themselves. Modern-day tribalism in Africa stems largely from the artificial borders created during colonialism, which forced highly distinct groups-often more different from each other than many European or Asian countries-into single political entities. It’s unfair and false to blame tribalism for the issues in Africa, or to claim that tribalism is inherently bad or the sole reason for conflict and underdevelopment in the continent. Such views ignore the deeper, underlying causes, such as the artificial borders imposed by colonial powers, which forced diverse and historically distinct groups into single political entities. These externally drawn borders often disregarded the natural, cultural, and ethnic divisions that existed for thousands of years, leading to tensions and conflicts that are wrongly attributed to tribalism itself, rather than the historical and political context that caused them.

The term Foundational Black American (FBA) represents the descendants of enslaved Africans who were forcibly brought to the land that would become the United States. These men, women, and children endured unimaginable suffering and dehumanization, yet they built the economic, cultural, and social foundation of this nation. FBA is not just a label-it’s a recognition of a unique and irreplaceable lineage, a story of resilience, resistance, and triumph against systems designed to erase and oppress. To be a Foundational Black American is to stand firmly in the truth of one’s ancestry, to honor those who built this country with their blood, sweat, and tears. It is about reclaiming a narrative often distorted or forgotten, ensuring that their sacrifices are neither erased nor overshadowed. This identity is rooted in pride, love, and legacy-an affirmation of the distinct cultural contributions of FBAs, from the spirituals born in fields of oppression to the civil rights movements that reshaped the nation, to the artistry, music, and innovation that continue to define American culture. It’s essential to state unequivocally: Foundational Black American is not a hate group. It does not stand against Black immigrants from across the diaspora but does insist on clarity and respect. It recognizes that while all Black people face the global scourge of white supremacy, the specific struggles and contributions of FBAs within the United States must not be undermined, erased, or exploited-whether intentionally or unintentionally-by anyone, including those who may look like them but do not share their unique lineage or historical experience. This stance is not about division; it’s about protecting and preserving the legacy of a people whose sacrifices and achievements often go unacknowledged, even among others within the diaspora. It is about ensuring that the voices of FBAs remain centered in conversations about justice, reparations, and equity in the United States. Ultimately, the FBA identity is about love-love for the ancestors who endured the unthinkable, love for the descendants carrying their torch, and love for the truth of their history and contributions. It’s about standing with conviction, honoring legacy, and ensuring that this proud lineage is never overshadowed or forgotten.

Hmmm… As a Caribbean/American man to parents from both the Caribbean and mainland (what we refer to as America), I have a unique perspective. Since less than a year old, I traveled back and forth every year to spend time with my dad for the summers. What I think Caribbeans, Africans, Black Brits are trying to say is the following: - Despite being born to the respective locations mentioned above, there is a nurturing of history, identity, and greatness as a people. This nurturing is both protected and insulated from whatever external influences are at play, despite their coexistence. - In the above mentions locations (example Caribbean), we grow up learning about our regional culture before and side by side American culture. - In our communities, we see Blacks in all positions or success, so we see no limitations, due to conflicting ethnic grows trying to suppress (micro aggressions, racism, etc.) our culture/identity. It just isn’t tolerated. - In America, American Blacks have had to deal with coexisting cultures from slavery to present. On top of this, their identity has been influenced by those who wish to keep them suppressed or from achieving their greatness as a people without external meddling from other cultures. - As for the guest speakers comments about Black Americans being too generous and other Black communities taking what they have created, I challenge him to list any time in American culture where Caribbean culture has influence America and Black Americans significantly. Marcus Garvey, Toussaint Louverture, Malcom X, James Weldon, Bob Marley, etc. anyone? - Caribbean culture are the distinct customs, foods, music, vernacular, dances, etc. that each Caribbean island is known for. While many of these things overlap from island to island, each island has their unique twist on customs, speech, food, etc. What I think Caribbeans, Africans, and Black Brits are trying to say is their identity is instilled by their respective cultures who had made it paramount that they know who they are, their greatness as a people, etc. in a way that is insulated from the potentially harmful actions of those who wish to see them fail. Lastly, I once argued with an African doctor who was looking down on Black Americans. I simply asked him two question…. Do you think the average Black American growing up was afforded an upbringing that nurtured and supported their identity in a way that there are no limits to their greatness? Do you think that their identity is as solidified as yours which has been forged in a protected culture untampered with by other ethnicities trying to suppress them?
