Black Culture Discussion Thread

[tokes99]

Got it, most of the websites I was looking at were saying that Victoria Island has a lot of expats, so it made me not want to stay in that area that much, but it sounds like it still has a "real" Nigerian feel to it. I usually avoid areas known for expats, cause they're usually full of drunk Aussies and English folk

I'm definitely trying to check out the best non-touristy food spots and local markets. Planning on checking out some museums and art galleries too

i went for the 1st time this past summer, so i had my camera (with a fairly large lens) with me just about everywhere i went which upped my ‘hey i’m not from here’ quotient by some factor of 10 so i’m far from an authority on the matter, my understanding is that area is basically where the investment/money is...also was told many times by strangers & family alike, that december is the popular time for many folk from abroad to visit family...

i feel that when traveling the experience is always ‘real,’ just may not be the one you expect/want...being that you have been to places like india & indonesia, you prolly are somewhat familiar with the (sometimes extreme) disparity of those places when it comes to things such as traffic density and timing, tourist accommodations, roads, housing, etc. and the allowance that one has to make for these things.

however you decide to swing it, locals will be able to advise on the things you’re interested in

Never heard of Victoria island. Learn new things/places everyday. Looks dope.

Thank you for that bro, we need to stop being so cool with any and everyone running hip-ho, rap, and all other forms of entertainment that is inherently black.

Ice Cube said it best
“Giving our music away to mainstream, don’t you know they ain’t down with team, they just sent boss over put bug in year and now you crossed over to MTV but they don’t care they’ll have a new n***a next year! You out in the cold, no more white fans and no more soul! And you might have a heart attack when you find out the black folks don’t want you back (Kanye) and you know what’s worse, you just like the N***a in the first verse. Stop selling out ya race and wipe that stupid a** smile off ya face n***as always gotta show they teeth, now I’m a be brief BE TRUE TO THE GAME!”

Thanks for sharing. Love coming across stuff like this.

On a similar tone, there’s a woman named Lucille Bogans who did blues but was talking that talk. Most would consider her ratchet today, some of her lyrics had me laughing genuinely trying to imagine how they came across at the time (30’s) in comparison to what my imagination of what that time period was like.

If you are a black man and you took a vacation to Europe and not to Africa. You failed as a black man.

Who is the mythical negro that dictates the successes and failures of black men?

What do we do with the failed black men? Fund their trips to Africa?

What website can I use to get my black man credit score?

Your very own people in Jamaica do not charge black tourists local prices....so you can kick rocks with all that BS mane.

I been to 42 countries including a couple in Africa...I saw you posting about us black folks being unwanted and only seen and $$ tourists in countries we like to vacation???
You know got damn well in damn near every predominately black vacation destination, we are seen as just that....gullible black american tourists and walking licks for $$$$. The smiling faces and warm welcomes are often a superficial front because people see a chance to make a couple extra dollars from tourists by charging us tourist prices.
Your country of Jamaica is prime example of that disgusting spineless behavior of ripping off and inflating prices when it comes to foreign blacks....
you can kick rocks with all that fairyland yip yap as if us black tourist get a warmer welcome to Jamaica than other races.
Jamaicans and and all the African countries I have been to be on the same ********.....
Even treating non black tourists better and brown nosing them more because you automatically assume they come from a wealthier privilege or they tip better.
I've seen it in Haiti I've seen it in Jamaica and the African countries I've been to....
How about you take accountability for your own peoples behavior first???
I mean not like you Jamaicans follow a code of treating black tourists better or even giving us a lowkey "brotha/sista price" when it comes to us.
You all aint with none of that..because just like everywhere else everyone's about that almighty $dolla$ first before any real morals of peace, harmony or unity. Your people in Jamaica do not charge black tourists local prices
Our own people of the same color will rip you off the worst when it comes to a damn dollar suvival is survival in alot of these countries.
If there was a code to follow in these predominantly black countries of actually making it a warmer much more welcoming friendlier place especially towards black tourists then alot more African Americans would be visiting and investing in such.
Our root problem is ....THERE SIMPLY ISN'T

Matter of fact the most love I was ever shown in another country was Thailand.
The locals charged us local prices and not a penny more.
Definitely can't speak for no damn overrated hella inflated Jamaica...
I've been to Kingston and Montego...and no it wasn't no white owned resorts...it was black Jamaican owned establishments with the same ********...taxi drivers too.

How about you Jamaicans get together and get on code on treating your foreign black brothas and sista tourists and ensuring we get the best treatment and cheapest prices before any other damn race that visits there????

Till then homie you can....

Bruh, I know folks from African that say if you leave and go to America or Europe and try to come back ppl will kidnap you, scam you and all kind of crazy stuff. And for my island folks you know when ppl leave and try to come back they call you a JCB(just come back). Where do you think African Americans fall I'm that spectrum?

 

[layziegunts]

im here regarding black unity regardless of nationality.

Homie went in on me about how Jamaicans treat American black tourist. lol, I didn't even read all of that.

We as black people try so hard to distance ourselves from our home its not even funny, any other successful group of people (Jews = Israel, Chinese = China, white = USA, Europe) love their homeland, but us.

Regardless of your nationality, unless we learn how to embrace AFRICA , then we are a doomed race. Enjoy the rest of your day

you have to take into account slavery ***** up a lot of peoples ancestry. Not everyone is gonna know where they are from in Africa, nevermind care.

@Diego Pasta true, slavery messed a lot of our history up, but what’s wrong with trying to reclaim it?
