Asian nail salons, Beauty Supply Stores, laundromats/dry cleaners, Chinese Restaurants and convenient Stores flood Black communities across the country. The Black Haircare industry is a billion dollar business that we're locked out of Why? Asian manufacturers won't sell to us.

Sir, please. Your premise is a weak attempt to legitimize your inclusion in American Negro culture as a Black immigrant. It doesn't work considering our legacies in the Americas from a timing perspective are identical.

- NOLA's American Negro community predates the arrival of refugees from St. Domingue. The fact you're attempting to overlook that particular truth speaks volumes. Stop with the ethnoicide.
Imagine celebrating a revisionist account of your history by turning slave traders into "Superheroines." Our ancestors deserve better. We deserve better.

His dead wife's under age enslaved half-sister. Wake that up. Ppl should be happy we're seeing reparations from the government and not suing for pieces of our white relatives estates. Are we ready for that conversation?

Correction: Our African ancestors came to this country both Free and enslaved. Secondly, EVERY right and "privilege" we have were EARNED. Everyone else had a free ride or ate off us. Our legacies in this country are NOT the same. American Negros AREN'T immigrants. Never have been

If ppl stopped oversharing on social media and inviting everyone to the cookout, we could better gatekeep. Until that happens, we're gonna continue to run into this.

Met Elvis' muse Roy Hamilton. Not only did Elvis record many of Hamilton's songs, but he completely copied his style. We're the blueprint of cool and pop culture in this country. Always have been.

Confront what exactly, Dante? How about confronting the entitlement of others who've become accustomed to having access to our culture and social capital without any genuine reciprocity? American Negro culture isn't a social club. Ethnocide is a real thing.

Imagine being an Ellis Island immigrant telling American Freedmen ppl we're co-opting white culture. We've been here longer than 99% of white folks.

Be quiet, Melinda. Black Americans have a well documented history of accepting all marginalized and melanated commmunites. We aren't the problem. Check your fellow immigrants.
@DJROBSWIFT
What influences did Latinos bring to Hip Hop that were purely Latino and not interpolations of American Negro culture? This video gives "soul brother" with bongos.

Every single thing you mentioned we had/have the Black equivalent to. Secondly, we're not forcing ourselves in your cultural spaces or holidays.
@wu_wenyuan
I don't understand how you immigrate to a country and tell its Native population who has spent centuries being oppressed they aren't entitled to redress? It's extremely anti Black.
@RakeemShabazz
Not sure who TF she's talking about exactly? Black ppl have had our own for centuries. Meanwhile, a Black man featured Latino ppl in Blk Panther. What are we talking about here?

Why is that? Before you attempt to shame us for having our throats cut, make sure you aren't the one holding the knife. Said low property value is the reason SK makes "superior" chicken. Without us they have nothing.
@PushaStee
Without 246 years of free labor, the US would be nothing. You may disagree with the conditions the country was built under, but those enslaved Africans and American Negros built it nonetheless. You're welcome.

You're an ethnic bigot. PLENTY of Cameroonian men are domestic abusers. PLENTY. Stop acting like this is solely a Black American problem. It isn't. Men of ALL races, religions and ethnicities commit acts of violence against women.
@KeneAkers
Many of us have European ancestry from men who enslaved our families. Be happy we're seeking reparations from the government and not suing for family estates. Nice clip, but this isn't reparations.
