What is Didi Gregorious? He’s not black he’s Dutch right?
 
Culture isn’t so much defined by race as much as it is defined by the local customs of a people who may even share the same race and national identity. Even though northern Italians and Sicilians share the same race and national identity, their cultures are very different. They speak differently. They eat differently.
Some will say that this difference in culture is because the Sicilians were more heavily influenced by Blacks, who were of a different race. However Sicilians were not culturally influenced by Blacks as a broad, monolithic group. They were influenced by SPECIFIC groups of Blacks who had a common national identity based on a shared culture. The Zulu of South Africa did not give Sicily it’s swag. Northwest Africans did. This goes back to the Punic Wars of the 3rd century B.C.E.
Let’s say that Albert is an African American who is mainly of Ghanaian and Senegalese descent. He doesn’t know this, though, because no one alive in his family can trace their lineage back to a specific country in Africa. Nevertheless, Albert wants to feel connected to Africa and its people. He becomes “self-initiated” into Ifa without being authenticated by Yoruba practitioners or Afro Latino custodians. Is Albert guilty of cultural appropriation? Of course he is.
 
Hey Ninja, if you're reading this just know that you have a very nice family. Don't be so quick to shy away from your other ancestry. Thanks for posting pics, hermano.

this is the grit of the argument. nina loves to talk down on black people, however, he loves to toot around with hip hop culture.
You can basically insert whites, asians,or any other ethnic group into this and it would be true
 
There are quite a few black dudes that were born in foreign countries. NeNe, Wiggins, Capela. Ariza and KAT are Dominican.
 
these hispanic dudes love to imitate black american culture but would have a heart attack if their sister brought home a black boy

You dead on with this.

Most Mexicans would divorce they wife, break up with their girls or dead a relationship if they found out she had some black penor.

Also, only light skin negritas are fine. Can’t keep track of how many of my students have said “but she’s too dark, mr” when I suggest they date outside their race when finding prom dates or girlfriends. Smh.

I shared this story before but one project we had during Black History month was to identify the black culture in certain Central/South American countries. (Mexico included)

I had one Mexican student tell me that he had no idea Afro-Mexicans existed. He said his father never told him (Student was born and raised here).

That hurt man

It's very sad.

Lupita Nyongo is actually Mexican. I put my students on as well and it blew their minds

Why are these people called Mexican rather than “European-Mexican” ?

Because you can't have European citizenship?

Lupita is a dual national with Kenyan and Mexican citizenship.
