Agreed. But what you were saying about special needs ppl, were saying about the kid or his attackers? The kid was special needs. He didn't deserve to be attacked. From my reading, special needs ppl are less likely to commit crimes than are those without special needs.
I'm not disagreeing with you. My point is they were depicted by Europeans as light skinned people. The Moors didn't live in the New World so the Mexicans would only know about them through the Spanish who depicted them as nearly indistinguishable from Europeans.
This is a depiction of a Moor from Spanish Mexico (Tepotzotlan).
The fuck you talking about. I swear you be going off on shit nobody ever said . Just making up all sorts of bullshit. You really trying to argue I compared cultures? You bringing a Culture argument to a race one. FOH Japanese are culturally different than Koreans but they still Asian. Nobody ever said Japanese ain’t Asians. I said Japanese ain’t the same as Chinese etc culturally . The fuck? Just like Dominicans are of African decent but culturally different than Black Americans. SMFH Dominicans are Black people .
You say you love Dominicans.. why don’t you say I love Africans that landed on that island or go crazy for Africans? It’s obvious those Dominicans have something different about them that you clearly point out how much you love Dominicans
Still they depicted Moors as their enemies and/or foreigners. What reason would they have to lighten them? Keep in mind the majority of this art was created when the Moors were still in control of Iberia.
Where I said I love Dominicans I’m constantly calling them coons. Do you not know what culture is? That’s why they different their colonizers were Spanish as opposed to British
At the end of the day Dominicans ain’t Afro American and neither would claim that they are the same.. anybody arguing that clearly don’t know wtf they talking about
Who in the fuck said Dominicans are African Americans? That’s an entirely different country. I said they are Black as in descendants of Africans. You might as well say Jamaicans, Haitians , Trini’s ain’t Black.
I understand where both of y'all are coming from but there really isn't any universal Black consciousness. Most people identify with their ethnic-national group rather than their racial group.
West Indians are proud of their blackness and culture.. they will definitely let you know they are proud West Indians and are diff from black Americans.. the difference they don’t think there are something else that has black/African origin
That was last yr.. like I said you like Dominican chicks.. I clearly said that..I clearly pointed it out, and now you agreeing with my point..notice you didn’t mention African history.. you even pointed out how Dominicans were different than black chicks during your rant saying black women and cacs can’t do the salsa. Talking about how great Dominican pussy is.. notice you clearly separated them from others
Damn...I thought all he said was Jamaicans created hip hop...he went all the way out there like that...Busta insane and out of line
It's been awhile since I heard it but having looked it up what he said was even worse. This fool said there was "no culture in America" before Caribbean and Latino culture was brought here.
None of that means I love Dominicans .
West Indian people in ny will ask if you are black American… Africans will ask if you are black American.. latins will ask if you are black American.. or American black… that is an actual term.. I know you a jersey/ Cali head so you wouldn’t understand.. but that’s literally how they will ask you or call you here
I expected more from him honestly. If the Island Boys or some other young dumbasses said this, that would be different. His old ass should know better especially being in the industry he's in.
You’ll get asked that anywhere with a large Black immigrant community . That’s not unique to NY. Again you’re talking about cultural difference as opposed to Black. I have nothing in common with a Rwandan other than being Black but that don’t mean they ain’t Black.
They are not black American as they would say.. they would call themselves African or whatever country from Africa they are from.. they would not call themselves black American.. you continue to not notice that it’s 2 words I’m using not one “black American” is 2 words.. some might call themselves black but none would use the 2 words combine.. at the end of the day we know why and comprehend it.. obviously you don’t understand it cause if you did you wouldn’t be asking why certain terms are specifically use.. black American/American black= African American to other cultures
So to you there is no Black, only Black American. I use the term Black to cover anybody who has African ancestry doesn’t matter what country.
Playahatian is from ny.. if you ask him what he is.. he would probably say Haitian, West Indian, from the islands, Haitian American… he wouldn’t call himself American black cause he knows that means Afro American in ny culture.. there are others on here from ny with West Indian backgrounds that would call themselves trini, Jamaican, etc.. none of them would say American black or black American cause once again that means Afro American in our culture.. if you go to the latins they would claim the places their parents were from dr, pr, Colombia, Cuban, etc.. that’s just what it is
I know that , as I said I don’t Hyphenate Black with American. If i suspect someone is from another country but they Black I don’t call them American. They Black but Haitian or Black but Colombian etc.
When that lil kid was getting dragged and jumped and people said the black kids were pussy for not defending him, did you think they were talking about all the dark skin Dominicans? Did you think they were talking about a bunch of Africans? Did you think they were talking about a bunch of West Indians? Or do you think they meant Afro Americans?… it was obvious they meant Afro American
I don’t know what they meant , you think you can tell an immigrant Black persons country of origin by looking at them? How? Any Black person watching regardless of their country is a pussy for not helping.
They obviously didn’t know Dominicans came in diff shades cause they pointed out 3 kids who they thought were black due to their complexion.. this board tends to call “black” people African American.. let’s not act like there ain’t 10,000 threads of ados and separation tactics of calling non African american immigrants and others etc.. so when they said black they were referring to African American using this board logic and historical context
That’s because they are Black I don’t care that they from the Dominican Republic they still Black. This board? Black has never meant American . To who? You think a racist cop will stop beating and calling a Dominican the N word because they find out they from another country?
Since you want to play dumb and act like nigs don’t refer to black as Afro American on here I’ll let you win..no need to converse about the topic anymore
You do know the word “his”panic is pretty much the same as nicca. Most just don’t know it. Means property of the Spaniard
