We are all of African descent.
Shit is nothing more than semantic futility.
Black vs black does a poor job of accomplishing its goal which is basically to distinguish diasporic Africans of America from diasporic Africans of some other non-North American region.
Its far more accurate to totemically distinguish as follows:
Afro-American vs Afro-Cuban vs Afro-Brazilian vs Afro-Caribbean so on and so forth.
The totemic method covers all bases: Ethnicity(Afro, universal contraction for African) and Nationality(American, Cuban, Jamaican etc...).
Black vs black tho, that don't cut it and does more harm than good in-so-much-as it divisively enables self-hating UncleToms to *willfully attempt to distance themselves from their Africanity. Toms HATE the -fact- that they are African.
^ ^ ^Thas a problem.
You can take a cat out da jungle but you cant take the jungle out da cat
-Accordingly-
You can take an African out of Africa but you can't take Africa out of the African(which can be verified by every piece of culture we've created where ever we landed after the trans-atlantic slave trade).
The Anglo-European de-africanization process that occured in the states -ISN'T- something to *covet and embrace. It is something to repair and mend by RE-Africanizing via the acquisition of self-love and self-knowledge.

Binlahab, you've always been a cool muhfukka but this is your one achilles heel.
"You can take an African out of Africa, but you can't take Africa out of the African" Afro-Americana/Afro-Caribbana/Afro-Latino unite. We are ALL Black!
