Why does it sound super cringe when africans us the n word ? its like they don't know when to use it. there's this point at the end when one of them says it in excitement
Why are african so eager to claim the black identity but willing to throw there's aside? Its crazy how they will not unite under pan africanism but will under black identity
You're approaching this as if we all have a unified homogenous agreed upon identity, we don't.
We can't even agree on what to call ourselves due mostly to a lack of knowledge.
We're even tribal in our own ways.

Black is used as a social placeholder that compensates for lacking a specific ethnic identity.
Yet it's also interchangeable with Africa/Africans since that's where our ancestors came from.
& because of this the entire continent gets stuck with the same identifiers - even tho continentals can articulate where they're from.
People know their are differences among us - they just don't gaf.
That perception ain't goin nowhere.
It is what it is.
