African
Song by Peter Tosh

Don’t care where you come from
As long as you’re a black man
You’re an African
No mind your nationality
You have got the identity of an African

'Cause if you come from Clarendon
And if you come from Portland
And if you come from Westmoreland
You’re an African

No mind your nationality
You’ve got the identity of an African

'Cause if you come Trinidad
And if you come from Nassau
And if you come from Cuba
You’re an African

No mind your complexion
There is no rejection
You’re an African

'Cause if your plexion
High If your complexion low, low, low
And if your plexion in between
You’re an African

No mind denomination
That is only segregation
You’re an African

Cause if you go to the Catholic
And if you go to the Methodist
And if you go to the Church of Gods
You’re an African

No mind your nationality
You have got the identity of an African

'Cause if you come from Brixton
And if you come from Weesday
And if you come from Wingstead
And if you come from France

Right wingers: she is strong and has a successful career. She can’t be black.

Everybody: that’s weird

It’s always better than being orange

elucubra ,

Black is the new orange

ByteOnBikes ,

These conservative news are really struggling.

Waiting for one to drop the N word.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

They have. It’s now “DEI hire”

eestileib ,

Yeah we all know being black is the fast track to being elected president.

this coming from the haters of “cancel culture” is really funny and weird

Very weird.

I know we don’t do I objective viewpoints point on here, but there is a difference between thinking that it is okay to do blackface in the context of a movie or a play and accusing Harris of pretending to be black.

I don’t agree with either of those points, but it’s silly to pretend they are the same.

thisbenzingring ,

She went to a historic black college and joined a black sorority… But sure, question her history on representing her black heritage

ALoafOfBread ,

That’s… just her face

I cannot think of a more desperate attempt at being apart of a fascist crew lmoa fuck this turd

Iapar ,

That is a childish accusation.

Cosmos7349 ,

tbf she does have a black face. That’s probably what they were trying to say.

Quill7513 ,

Newsmax actively ignores what its like to live in a race coded society as a minority because They’re only talking to people who haven’t lived as being in an oppressed minority. The ignorance is the point. They’ll say whatever shit will play with their white audience that will make them respect a candidate less.

superminerJG ,

Republicans try not to talk about Harris’s race challenge (impossible)

Ghyste ,

Newsmax will say anything to stay relevant, and their audience eats it up.

Wait, so Obama is black because his father is black and now Harris isn’t black even though her father is black? Do these idiots even hear themselves?

n2burns ,

It feels like their rules are if your part minority, you’re a minority (which is how society treats people). However, you can only be a maximum of one minority in each category. Harris can be a women, but she can’t be both Indian and Black.

acosmichippo ,
@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

Their rules are you are whatever is beneficial to the propaganda web we’re currently spinning. Next week she’ll be black again.

vanontom ,
@vanontom@lemmy.world avatar

Yup. It’s not worth any time trying to figure out their “rules”, because there are none, and they don’t need any. These deranged morons are unburdened by logic (or principles, morals, honesty, consistency). And there are entire industries now grinding out profit from the idiocy and hate. It’s just business.

Etterra ,

I think it’s more like they can’t comprehend being half black if the other half is not white. Which really gives you some insight into what they think about everybody that isn’t white. The Republican worldview on race is the same as their worldview on everything else: literally black and white.

That seems to be the general thrust, but I have seen a few not-so-bright sparks suggest that Jamaicans aren’t really black.

I even saw one person suggest that the fact that she is descended from an Irish plantation owner means she can’t be black. Which, gee, I wonder why a black person would be descended from a plantation owner?

someguy3 ,

[Whistling sound intensifies.]

TheOctonaut ,

Are you sure it was an Irish plantation owner? Most of the time Irish people in the Caribbean were working on plantations, not owning them. From what I’ve read, the person in question was a British person from Antrim - which is on the island of Ireland, but is part of the UK and was itself “plantationed” by Britain.

It would be weird for example to refer to George Orwell as Indian, Louis Theroux as Singaporean or Duke Wellington as Irish - after all, “being born in a stable does not make one a horse” as the Duke put it when ‘accused’ of being Irish.

someguy3 ,

No you see he wasn’t black, he was just born in Kenya, and many people are born in Kenya, you don’t have to be black to be born in Kenya, i have many friends born in Kenya, Ok I’m done /s.
