Topic: Black Americans are hypocrites, claims black lives matter but hate on Africans. (Read 406 times)

Can't agree with the OP. I am not an American, but I guess I have enough knowledge on the subject to post a reply here.

First of all, African Americans and Africans are not the same people. African Americans may be predominantly African by blood, but they have significant amounts of European, Native American and Asian ancestry as well. Many of the African Americans, such as Barack Obama and Booker T. Washington would be regarded as non-African, if they travel to that continent.

And I have never seen any concrete evidence to the claim that African Americans discriminate against those from Africa. Most of the African immigrants in the United States live in predominantly African American neighborhoods and intermarry with them. On the other hand, African tribes discriminate against each other on a frequent basis. Look at Rwanda. 1 million people were butchered in 1994, just because they belonged to the Nilotic race instead of the majority Bantu race. Genocides are common in DRC, due to infighting between the Nilotic and Bantu tribes. And in the Sahel region, tens of thousands die every year, as a result of warfare between the agricultural tribes and the pastoral tribes.

It's my greatest wish that we humans should live pass our outward or epidermal skin colour because within the dermis, we are all the same. It's a little bit strange that we discriminate the way we do and yet we expect other men of colour to stand with us in same protest.
A punch from a familiar is most painful.
Let's stop racism at all levels.

I have seen such discriminating videos on social media as well, we all are humans then why we are discriminating each other based on colors, nationality and religions. There are people who respect each and everyone but most of them are not respecting other that is why life teach us lessons from time to time like corona virus and other severe danger to whole human race.

Just as the title says, majority of the Black Americans (using majority as not all Black Americans act this way) thinks they're better than other blacks especially those from Africa just because they were privilege to live far away from their ancestry land. They act like we're not black enough and even go as far as mocking our accents, style of dressing, way of living, food etc. I haven't gone across the borders of my country but I see this ongoing daily on most social media platforms and I'm quite sure most Africans living in the diaspora would testify to this been the truth.

It quite funny as they (the Black American) protest to been treated differently and advocate for a fair system yet they make their brothers from Africa look inferior as they discriminate against us at any given chance possible. How then do they intend to pass the message Black lives matter when they act like not all black lives matter, they're hypocrites, as they're not practising what they preach.

You think it's funny, BET award (Black entertainment television) is the most anticipated black award and prior to few years back, it had the Black sorry, Africa category been given to the winners at backstage. Just imagine the Grammy's doing the same to black Americans and also differentiating between the blacks and white, that's having a sperate award just for the (2) blacks and the rest for the white.

They (the Black Americans) only come up to speak when they feel threaten but enjoy discriminating against other blacks and tribes. It's quite shameful we stand to speak and support them when they need our support yet they make us feel used. Black Americans are racist and hypocrite so until they change, F**k their selfish propaganda, they should used the hashtag that portray their inner intentions 'Black American lives matter'.

No, that's not exactly what I'm trying to say, what I meant is that, we the Africans are been treated like we're not blacks by the African American. They (Black Americans) claims, since we didn't not pass through the slavery (struggle) they did, we're entitled to been refers to as black. They see it as an entitlements therefore discriminate against us (Africans) when the opportunity presents itself. Typically they hate other blacks that's aren't technically Black Americans.


I'm kind of confused and trying to select my words appropriately so I won't be misinterpreted. I don't think any color deserve a better life than others. We're all human and should be treated equally. Since they complain about not been treated right by the white they shouldn't treat others badly, they should work on themselves first.


I'm black, I'm Africa and proud to identify myself, anytime, anywhere, anyday. Infact to be more direct, I'm a Nigerian ✊🏿.

According to the Beverly Hills PD, several arrests were made.

"The Black Lives Matter mob shut down Santa Monica Boulevard, Rodeo Drive, and intersections around the city center," wrote Human Events managing editor Ian Miles Cheong - who posted several clips of the activity on Twitter.

Then the police showed up...

The police showed up in full force to arrest members of the Black Lives Matter mob making a nuisance of themselves across residential Los Angeles streets. One pretended to be injured by the police and forced them to drag him.

...
africans acuse everyone of racism, if they don't enslave themselves to them. people are limitedless greedy, they will always demand more, so there will always someone showing up accusing others as racists.

it has become pointless to even listen to them

These had been happening to probably individuals from small ethnic groups. I myself belong to a small ethnic group that when I go to a city the judging eyes scrutinized me from top to bottom. I won't say all race sees minorities to be smaller in some aspect but its what is happening.  They find it offensive but they don't realize they are also doing it to minor race.

Is not always about racism to me, I think everyone should have a level of respect for their fellow being -cutting across race,class,education,sex, gay/trans/bisexual or straight- we mostly are guilty in our own ways and until we change a slogan "BLACK LIVES MATTERS" alone will not be the answer.
