You aren’t black either.. you have always identified as Caribbean, West Indian or whatever island you came from.. now you want to be black because we as black Americans have cultivated so much social capital as being black now you want to infiltrate it without creating or contributing to it… you just use it

Black Americans can never be more black than people from where their ancestors originated. Period.

We are the only ones that have status of Black on our birth cerificates.

smh

@@deryck-kr2tl Word I don't even know what to say. Super Ignorant.

@@RH_DB colonizers 🙄

@@RH_DB as long as there's a GOD that's not going to happen no hate but we are not the same people

@@RH_DB , people on the African continent belong to so many ethnic groups and cultures. On the continent of Africa, the average African doesn't refer to himself as a black person. Rather, he would talk about his ethnicity. The idea that black people either in the Latin America, the United States, the Caribbean are the same also has never at anytime. Now idea of solidarity of black people is an ideal that is accepted by many regardless of where they live around the world. There are those who don't care about it and there are those who embrace it. It's just about perspectives. Black Americans are not a monolith either. Some are interested in their African ancestry and will engage with Africa regardless.

WE ARE

@@brandonray4379 don't be a clown ! who are y'all

@@deryck-kr2tl we are not Africans for sure

@@deryck-kr2tl we own you. You belong to us.

..the majority of us don't have any relatives outside of the USA..stop saying we are cousins please..

Glad that you listened in. It is interesting to read what you took away from this conversation on African Americans and Black Immigrants. Looking forward to your feedback on other 13th of the Month convenings.

No, we're "Black Americans" and they're Afro immigrants. Please stop awarding foreigners our ethnic title while labelling us under theirs.

​@@baltimoreracialjusticeactionaccording to our government anyone can claim black (Obama/Kamala), so descendants of USA chattle slavery should not fight to claim Black nor African American..That is a losing battle..Black has its origins in Asian, India, Africa and other cultures way before the USA instilled it..Chinese are now classified as black in South Africa..We descendants in the USA, who are Freedmen/ADOS should fight for being called American..There is no country called black where we come from..We are not African..Our origins are from here - we are Americans!

We agree that that would be a self despising assumption. So glad that this conversation was not about that.

Black American ethnic identity?!

@@deryck-kr2tlwhat's the question?

@@MyTruth1771'' Black American ethnic identity '' what is this suppose to mean iam not from the US

@deryck-kr2tl The Black American ethnic identity is our self awareness of our unique Black American peoplehood and the history, heritage, and culture of the Black people in the United States who developed here beginning as early as 1619 through slavery, through freedom struggle, our cultural development up to today.

FBA hasn’t erased the contributions of black immigrants to the struggle at all. The problem is that those handful of black immigrants that contributed to the struggle are outnumbered by black immigrants that come here to work against FBA.

Well I know that black immigrants have a different experience than descendants of enslaved black Americans. They envelope the narrative of white Americans that black Americans are bad, ghetto. Etc. I don't share ANYTHING WITH OTHER AFRICAN PEOPLE. That's disrespectful to MY ANCESTORS THAT EXPERIENCED SLAVERY, JIM CROW, CIVIL RIGHTS, ETC! What's what with DESCENDANTS OF ENSLAVED BLACK AMERICANS! There's NO WAY I would go to Africa and think just because I'm black, I share their history! That's disrespectful to THEIR HISTORY! We're NOT THE SAME!

Yall havent always been anywhere. Stop the lying. Over the last 40 years yall have been fleeing from your homelands.

This is exactly it. If you look hard enough you will find these FBA people being just as racist as white people. Just look at how many were spreading the Haitians eat your pets nonsense before that was found out to be an obvious lie. I'm tired of the rheoric. I've always been a fan of letting actions speak for yourselves and the FBA community seems to only care about themselves and F everybody else. Somehow the black people that came from elsewhere to fight are only a handful. What good do y'all even do? You guys haven't been able to get the US to stop targeting Haiti for over 200 years. Now that I think about it, what exactly are any of you trying to get done? The only political position I've ever heard from you guys is reparations which shows how much you don't understand the country you happen to be born in. America will gladly do social things that don't cost them money. You guys ever going to fight against the reverse reparations that Haitians have been paying for over 2 centuries? No. You only care about reparations for yourselves. Everybody else should burn, but they should also help you get reparations. You guys are an incoherent movement. I would be surprised if more than a minority of the black people living in the US even knew you existed.

They just continue to act like we don't exist and reuse racist tropes to constantly attack us.

The F are you talking about? Stop making up reasons to be racist to other black people. This is one of the lamest things people try and do. Y'all are no different than the women who go to college and suddenly think all men are evil. You're literally doing the same exact thing and somehow thinking you're unique. Why don't you stop with the straw man and tell us what you think ICE is saying, and then tell me why anyone would believe the AMERICAN GOVERNMENT who people not born in America are far more willing to see in a negative light than people who were born in America. I don't even think that you realize that you admit to jumping to a conclusion. Make it make sense.

This is a gendered comment which implies that only certain genders can tell the stories of their people. Such a comment is not consistent with liberation. However, to each his - or her - or their - own.

African American refers specifically to Black Americans - those whose people have come through the Maafa and arrived on U.S. shores during a specific time frame. The word Black is global and includes Black people wherever they may be in the Diaspora. We look forward to continuing this conversation at a future time.

@@baltimoreracialjusticeaction No, the word black belongs to black Americans, We set the Culture for the word , when a person is talking about the word black they don’t think about other people in other countries, They’re talking about black Americans

The word Black is global and includes Black people wherever they may be in the Diaspora. African American is a term specifically used for the group born out of U.S. chattel slavery.

The conflation of Black immigrants and Foundational Black Americans by institutions often leads to the obscuring of the continued presence of barriers that are specific to Foundational Black Americans; that are generational; and that are born out of 400+ years of systemic and institutional anti-Blackness.

Now, that's just mean. . .

Right we done with that people of color mess it lumps multiple groups into one ignoring cultural differences as a foundational black american I dont want to be lumped in because it erases our struggle and ascribes it to people who have nothing to do with our history on this soil

@@Nickelniner09 Absolutely. People of Color does lump people with different histories into one group. Knowing that no one group is a monolith, this is why we shared this 13th of the Month session so that we could engage in the different stories of our respective groups. We are looking forward to continuing the conversation in the future and hope you will join.

Thank you for watching.

Hi Michael, job scarcity and over policing of Black communities are two of many huge barriers that prevent Black people from securing their social security. This is a short segment of a larger conversation that we encourage you to tune into to. ua-cam.com/video/BOqcNqxchdo/v-deo.html

Class opportunity and access in the 80's was racialized just like it is today. The same systems and policies that deepened the wealth gap in the 80's are alive and well today. When analyzing race and class we root those conversation in US history. This conversation was part of a segment that you can view from the link at the bottom. We also encourage you to attend our April 13th event that will be focused on Motherhood and White Supremacy. This event will cover some of the other concerns you raised. ua-cam.com/video/BOqcNqxchdo/v-deo.html

If you didn't pay into it why would you benefit. Also the 80's was just as racist as the 50's, 60's and 70's. Do some research and you'll see it.

Thanks for your comment Rashawnda. This short was a piece of our conversation of how race and class will play a huge role in how retirement will play out. Many low wage workers haven't had access to resources and opportunities to invest into their retirement. We know that issue is compounded if you are person of color. Here is the link if you would like to hear more. ua-cam.com/video/BOqcNqxchdo/v-deo.html

Greetings and thank you for your comment! RE: Lawrence v Texas, you are correct! The case Ani was referring to was 1965 case Griswold v. Connecticut, to support the point that those privacy cases were a part of a body of law that supported the Supreme Court's interpretation of privacy. RE: your second point - we agree, and that's not even glib! Again thank you for viewing and commenting. We hope to converse more in the future!

Thank you for tuning in and learning with us!

Hey Rhonda! Good to see you

Thank you Rhonda. We are glad this conversation resonated with you.
