Black Americans have a very warped view of Africa. This goes back at least 150 years. It’s a very juvenile and naive approach that my community eats up. 

You have the founding of Liberia which is just hilarious because American Black absolutely oppressed the fuck out of native Liberians. They did what the British did. They thought because they were of the same color everything would just work out. 

Then you have the return to Africa movement in the 20s with Marcus Garvey. Which failed spectacularly. 

And then the Black Power movement of the 60s and 70s. The absolutely dumbest movement of them all. It fetishized Africa and it was essentially the prototype for all Pan-Afro movements going forward. It's how Black Americans started calling each other kings and wearing Egyptian ankhs


Black Americans need to realize that America is and has always been our home. Despite what anyone says. We have bled and died for this country from the very beginning. Since the shots rang out at Lexington and Concord.

Which is why we need to find commonality with poor Whites. We’ve been through the entirety of American history, together. For better or worse.


Maybe I am an outlier, but literally NOTHING about African culture I can relate to, but I truly feel at home literally any place in America. Whether that's Detroit or rural Wyoming.
