PLEASE READ THE EDIT IN THE OP!!!!!!!! EDIT:African American V Caribbean V Afro Latina V African

[weekz]

AM NOOB, SORRY IF THIS WAS COVERED RECENTLY
i think we are all different (being a jamaican-guyanese man myself). but ive heard other wise (mostly from AA who think we all same cuz of dark skin some african features!)
am i alone in this fight of differentness?

EDIT: this is not a who is better kind of question. im just asking whether in your opinion the differences between the groups are worth noting especially in the us where they havent recognized the difference yet.

i kno i kno i kno.. that was bad phrasing.  i mean just because we are all black or have majority black features ( i kno there are light skinned and indian and even chinese caribbeans.)

since your so focused on distinguishing yourself from your brotherhood. what is it that you differ on? 
that everyone is different individually? ok. 

at the end of the day its not about you or me. its about forming a real national conscious if we ever want freedom like these other peoples have.

i'm gonna say this...

people of DARKER complexion are the only one that has this identity crisis...

i never hear the peach-colored bretheren talking about this...

and it seems like those who are NOT African American, but are still black, view the African Americans in SUCH a negative light, its crazy...

i hate when my girl gets all blushed and boosted when she's thought to be Cuban or Dominican...

like, what in the *+*! is people's problems?

African Americans dont wanna be African Americans, and black people that arent AAs disassociate themselves w/ the group. i understand its your heritage and all..

but my question is...

WHY??!! african american = black in White america, bro. and if you can make it as a BLACK men, then cool...


i know i got a lil off topic.. just had to know....
