Jouelzy on Yt speaks about blackness in re the African American experience. A point she made that stuck w me was about how AA culture isn’t offered the kind of sanctitude continental Africans get. That it’s always available for everyone to tap into - unlike the Yoruba/Xhosa etc
And I guess our experience of this is as American cultural imperialism or whatever. But yeah go check her out on YouTube.
Also from her video she speaks of the classism she experiences from African immigrants in the USA. (And mntase even us continentals know this classism)so now I’m curious about the perception of African immigrants that side
