the thing about the african accent is Africans do not like it. We are telling you guys to stop because it makes us feel like we are being mocked because noone talks like that. For black americans to now turn around and say we are being too sensitive is very fucking annoying.

We said stop because it is disrespectful to us as Africans. Simple. Think of it as when you guys say white people should stop doing braids and other white people start to tell you “it’s just a hairstyle” wouldn’t you be angry???

No African HATES AA’s dfkm we actually feel it’s the other way round sometimes because when we say we are black and we are the same as you guys, some of you guys say we aren’t ??? lmfao it hurts because how do you expect us to fight for black lives if black lives are fighting....

....each other ? looooool. I’m actually laughing because if i was white looking at this shit i’d literally would not think you people were serious and i would continue to mock you. Simple.

i saw a tweet the other day about food and it was about oxtails being gotten from Africans/Jamaicans. Lmfao i think all of you are forgetting your ancestors were enslaved from those countries ??? like ???

i like AAs because even though thier ancestors were enslaved they still made a culture for themselves ?? does that make sense ? you have to get out of that mentality that everyone hates you (i mean apart from the whites)

The accent is not you ‘connecting with your roots’. Just deep how disrespectful it is to us that people, both AA and white only use the accent in an attempt to mock us or when it is time to say a joke. PLEASE do NOT tell us to calm down.

The challenge could also be done without the fake african accents. Your normal accent doesn’t take away the joke you’ve made ??? it’s still going to be funny if it was a funny joke like come on ?????

Its literally the same as you guys getting angry when white people do an exaggerated blaccent??? like why do the same thing to us that you hate ??? i’m literally trying to wrap my head around it lol.

And this is just for people that still think in 2020, we live in huts and climb on trees; WE DO NOT. Sorry to disappoint. We also do not go to greet the girafes and lions every morning. Thank you. I hope this thread would make y’all think lmfao.
