Africans and Blacks Misconceptions (Black in West Africa)
Do Black Americans and Africans have a history of tension?
Maybe Black Americans have tension with America, Period.
Is this about how we name people of color? “African-Americans” to include all people with dark skin (even if you’re not African at all) but who live in America?
Maybe it’s about calling billions of people “African” even though they’re from 54 different countries? So… is this an issue of misconceptions and misrepresentation? Do Blacks and Africans get along. Or are the tensions real? #DontBelieveTheHype
🎙 This month in the LIVE, we chat with you about race, relationships, and reactions to our video “Africans Don’t Like Blacks” (see that here).
We dive into the comments, talk live with you, and true to clear up the lies Blacks are told about ‘Africa’.
