in my Speech 101 class.

They were arguing about politics. The Kenyan kid was more of an "all lives matter" person, while the AA guy was hardline BLM.

Then the AA guy started making fun of the Kenyan's accent, and the Kenyan said "at least I don't have slave blood in me."

my reaction: YAGpXPd

"All lives matter" being a retort to "black lives matter" is dumb as hell because "black lives matter" never meant "only black lives matter."

Only one thing that happened in class really stands out to me. During the first day of American History at my CC the teacher went into talking about slavery and an older black guy, probably in his 30s, said, "Oh no I don't want to learn about them hanging N words on the first day.“

The teacher was an old white lady and she looked at him and said," We don't say that word in class. "

Because it was never started as a movement to call attention to All Lives. It was started to suppress BLM. The funny part is back when BLM first started, before idiots ruined it, they did call attention to case of police brutality of all races. You'd see BLM supporters Tweet about cases of police misconduct of other races....NEVER saw those who say ALL LIVES MATTER do that....They only say it when its to attack BLM...and you know that.

If ALM isn't a racist movement then why is it that the only time they've marched for their own sake, and not merely as a counter-protest to BLM, was to protest the NAACP? Why protest the NAACP when their gripe is against BLM?

I have no idea, but I would imagine it has to do with demographics.

The african-africans who move to america tend to be the most well off people of their respective countries, and also the most cultured and educated. That is a natural clash with the urban portion of african-american culture (I am NOT saying that most of the AA is urban or uneducated. What I am saying is that such sector of that culture clashes with the african-africans for that reason).

as a black African (I was born in the US, but I'm more culturally influenced by Rwanda than anything), from my experience, many black Africans attempt to emulate African-Americans.

young ones, at least. older ones, like my dad, could sometimes be pretty critical.

My first days of college I was introduced to the concept of black Americans not getting along so well with immigrants from Africa. When I saw some fights break out between them, I was like "oh did not see that coming ". Woke me up to their cultural differences I had not considered before.

One of my instructors happened to be from Kenya and she failed a surprising amount of black American students for various reasons. There were subtle hints that she was particularly critical of them more than other students. I asked my classmate who was black why and she said some black people in African countries have low opinions of black Americans in general. She said they were "snobby, stuck up".

Like I don't if that's true, but that's how she explained it. There might be a whole history thing detailing why that I'm totally unaware of because she didn't go into it.

I think part of it is due to the fact that most of us (African Americans) don't have much of a connection to Africa anymore. Especially when a lot of us don't know our country of origin either. A lot of our culture has been formed through us surviving in America and losing native culture through slavery.
