I’ve come across a recurring dilemma in Black America that keeps repeating no matter the era, platform, or movement. We constantly hear the call: Unity. We need unity. Where is the unity?Yet what actually happens is fragmentation—over and over again. Groups form around clear missions, shared grievances, and overlapping goals. But at the first major […]

If we all were to go to a restaurant that is usually marketed and labeled African and order food, I’m sure it will most certainly be West African cuisine yet it’s branded as African. Why? Why is a continental identifier used to flatten thousands of different cultures and ethnicities under a label that serves as […]

Black Americans are a distinct North American ethnic group formed through centuries of cultural evolution, rather than a remnant of African heritage.

This filters diverse people groups through European taxonomic systems, which treats “race” as a […]

There are no diaspora wars. A diaspora is a group of people who originate from a common homeland but live dispersed outside of it, while maintaining some degree of collective identity, memory, or connection to that place of origin. What diaspora are Black Americans apart of and which diaspora do Black Americans have ? They’re […]

Have yall noticed there’s a trend in our culture where a foreign person comes within our culture and supposedly just innovates something already existing and receiving credit for the actual creation? We see this with Kool Herc (Hip-Hop/Break Beat) and with Eddie Plein (removable grillz) The trend involves foreign-born melanated people (UK, African, Caribbean, etc) […]

Remember this: Core & Shell Black American is a sociopolitical, sociocultural, and ethnonational identifier that refers to the formerly classified “American Negro” The Shell Game describes how melanated immigrants interact with global classification systems that western taxonomic systems have influenced. This starts with the racist delineation of the African continent. Colonial administrations delineated Africa using […]

The content explores how Black American culture has shifted from inspiration to a model of existence for others, leading to structural emulation. Terms like WABBA (WAnt-to-Be-Black-American) emerge to describe individuals who seek to embody Black American identity markers. This phenomenon highlights appropriation over appreciation, raising issues of authorship and cultural boundaries.
