Haitian kid comes out and tells the truth. Says not only were his bullies other Caribbeans, there was no Black Americans his neighborhood or his schools, he didn’t meet Black Americans until he moved to the south, where he was embraced.

An African woman was at the anti-Black American protest for Javits Frimpong saying all Africans need to come together. A Black American man corrected her and said everybody should come together, lol. The pan-Africans are finally seeing how divisive these Africans are.

Rest in peace, Rosalind Ashford, soprano from Martha and the Vandellas.
They helped float Motown during the early ’60s, before the Temptations and the Supremes blew up. Their early run included “Come and Get These Memories,” “Heat Wave,” “Quicksand,” “Dancing in the Street,” “Nowhere to Run,” and later classics like “I’m Ready for Love” and “Jimmy Mack.”
Their song “Dancing in the Street” changed R&B and American pop music. Motown may not have survived without the early string of hits from her group.
Background singers are often taken for granted, but they are the air that breathes life into a song. Rosalind came from an era when harmonies had to be airtight. Every note mattered. Every texture mattered. Those voices weren’t simply sitting behind the lead—they were part of the arrangement and part of what made those records timeless.
Rest well to an unsung icon.

Can "we" go back? Ma'm You are Nigerian. This style was from Black American women (late 90s/ early 2000's). Highlight the style... but don't perpetrate as if this is from your culture.

We have never hated Africans or Africa. Our elders & ancestors pushed brotherly & sisterly love 4 all on the continent; while the ancestors on the continent sent their children to America with GENERATIONAL vitriol, usery & stereotypes that many in the states still uphold. Now that their hate has been EXPOSED & the our Black American elders are not here to Kumbaya & join hands with everyone; and the con game of muling onto Black America is OVER they are crying unity bullshit. But these same ppl NEVER wanted unity, they came here to America to USE US all while hating us for generations coming into OUR country.. We don't owe Africa a damn thang .
Static Major was the singer/writer behind so many legendary songs and artists in Black American R&B culture. He needs more recognition.
