& the fact that you’ve turned this conversation into a diaspora war shows that you don’t have the capacity to actually understand the experience of Javits Frimpong. this was never about the denigration of black americans but about what africans experience living abroad in AMERICA
like this bitch is talking about santo domingo like bitch a boy just lost his life what is wrong with you
the saddest part is that even in death, people will try to deny what africans go through in america.
does this not still make the issue about XENOPHOBIA towards AFRICANS? get your, slow, bored, and angry ass out of my mentions if you don’t even care about why this boy lost his life. smooth brained bitch.
yeah that’s definitely your fault. it is not wrong to describe yourself as ethnically African. you’re an idiot.

What’s a polite way to tell someone, “I’m not discussing this with you because your entire understanding of the subject is built on so many interconnected misconceptions that correcting them would require uninstalling your current worldview and starting the tutorial from birth”?
"agenda?” you are so fucking internet 🤣. i never once tried to turn this into a diaspora war conversation. clearly, whatever "y'all" you're referring to has nothing to do with me. take that argument up with the people you're actually upset with instead of projecting it onto me.
and a new low for me? you don't know me… 🤣 nothing i said was inaccurate, mischaracterizing, or offensive. you took more with issue with how i characterized the perpetrators than with the anti-african xenophobia that led to a child's death. that's very telling.
when i say "americans," i'm referring to the DOMINANT american cultural identity that exists even in a diverse city like nyc. africans are targeted for not conforming to those norms, regardless of who enforces them. anti-african bullying is the issue i'm highlighting.

I don’t blame Africa actually. We are all HUMAN BEINGS this earth is OURS. We should be able to move across it and around it, without being killed for being different.

addressing xenophobia in the diaspora ≠ "diaspora wars".

Ppl will be sharing stories about getting bullied for being AFRICAN and here yall losers go talking bout some everyone gets bullied like please go to hell deadass
and NO this is not about just about “darkskin” but being ETHNICALLY AFRICAN. americans will make fun of the accent, demeanor, name, etc. a VERY SPECIFIC experience that should NOT be boiled down to “darkskins in the bronx”
calling out bullying towards AFRICAN!!! kids from black americans is NOT starting a diaspora war. its simply highlighting whats been happening for YEARS now but is always dismissed
