They think black people in other countries want to be black American when we say we're black. That time we don't want to be them at all. We are just referring to our skin colour.๐คฃ

Black Americans call Africans recounting very true lived experiences of being subjected to vile xenophobic racism from them, โDiaspora Warsโ to diminish and dismiss it, the same way men call women recounting true experiences of male violence โGender Warsโ to dismiss and diminish it, and Whites call true accounts of racism from black people, โPlaying the Race Cardโ to dismiss and diminish it.
All the oppressors always come up with a derisive name for the oppression they are inflicting in order to diminish it and portray their victims as unserious characters just stirring up trouble.
They then accuse their victims of trying to start the Gender / Race / Diaspora War and pretend the people they harmed are the aggressors.
This is devastating

One thing Iโve noticed about Africans is how quick they blame victims. A boy gets killed, and somehow his father is being blamed for living in that neighborhood. Did it ever occur to yโall that maybe thatโs all he could afford working low wage jobs? The lack of empathy is insane.
This should teach us that not every city or neighbourhood is suitable for raising children. At some point, I question Javits Frimpongโs fatherโs decision to raise his son in the Bronx, where the crime rate is reportedly high and gang activities remain a concern in the neighbourhoods. As parents, we must be mindful of the environments in which we raise our children. Otherwise, they risk being exposed to violence, drugs and a life of crime. I hope the Government of Ghana intervenes and offers the family the necessary support during this difficult time. May we all learn from this tragedy, may his soul rest in peace. ๐ ๐๏ธ

no shade i donโt want to hear this from the guy that built his career as a minstrel promoting and making money off the same stereotypes that got our generations bullied in school
Michael Blackson penned a message and reflected on his own bullying experience while speaking on the death of fellow Ghanaian Javits Frimpong. The comedian also expressed plans to make appearances at high schools to talk to foreign kids and help them deal with bullying. โMay God help us all to help deal with this. Amen.โ Our thoughts are with Javitsโ family ๐๐ฝ โ๐พ#TSRStaffAS ๐ท:(@gettyimages)
