I find it funny that the "steal stereotype" is always associated with Black people and yet white people have a history of stealing land, people, resources, and cultures, but God forbid if a couple of Black people decide to steal packs of huggies.

Anti-blackness and colorism plays a huge roll on why a lot people aren't talking about Congo, Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Haiti, and other predominantly Black countries. Black people are not seen as valuable and our Blackness is placed at the bottom of humanity.

Black Americans are the descendants of enslaved people, mostly from West Africa. The reason we don't know which nations we come from is because of the human trafficking part of our journey, the prohibition of reading, writing, and freely communicating with one another. Stolen

That narrative about Black Americans didn't retain their African ancestors cultures as strongly as Black people in Latin America or the Caribbean needs to die.

A lot of people believe that Caribbean ppl or Afro-Latinos held onto their African culture more than Black Americans, which is not true. Again, it goes back to the narrative that Black Americans are "culturally inferior" to non-American Black people.

1. Our ancestors didn't come from one place. They come from different places. 2. We are mixed with different tribes. 3. Also, African countries didn't even exist when our ancestors were forcibly removed from their land.

Dismantling antiblackness is actually the key to destroying white supremacy. That's why I said that Black people need to be free first. Black people are placed at the bottom of the pyramid which is the racial hierarchy/caste system.

Asian parents literally tell their children not to bring home a Black person. Black parents really don't care who their children bring over just don't be rude and disrespectful in their house. We see y'all humanity but y'all don't see ours.

objectively speaking, Black Americans as a whole are more anti-Asian than the reverse, since they have access to more levers of political power, while we have virtually none for example, Black leadership at โ€œanti-Blackโ€ institutions like the LAPD far exceed Asians

As she states, "I was in the Young Lords, and one of the points in the original program was 'Revolutionary Machismo.' Machismo is reactionary, wo you can't have a revolutionary machismo. We women weren't having it. So we made a very different kind of statement.
