African Americans don’t count as Africans and have no claim to African culture at all.

Happy for you that you know where you come from and can claim a specific culture. But you are SO ignorant to what Black people in America endure. We are not our “culture.” We are all individuals, with fucked up bloodlines, trying to make it in a patriarchal and capitalist society that favors white people and even immigrants over us because many are so happy to throw us under the bus when they receive opportunities that we don’t always get because of race relations in America. Your travel scholarships, work visas, familial ties, and language capabilities give you a natural leg up over poor, systematically undereducated and disenfranchised people in America.

You are so quick to put down an entire community of people to get upvotes and perpetuate distaste for Black people without even thinking about the implications.

I wish this was another subreddit so I could deem you the asshole.
