Africans, Stop Appropriating African American (Black) Culture

Africans would not be as successful as they are in America, or even the continent of Africa, if they were not appropriating Black/African American culture.

After watching this video from Black Patriarch’s YouTube Channel a few days ago, becoming outraged because this was the last straw of any group crapping on African Americans, I wrote this article.

I’m African American, also known as “Black”. I’m proud to be Black. I’m proud to be African American. I’m proud to be #ADOS.

Over my last 36 years living on this earth, I have met many Africans who have made it clear to me that they are NOT Black. I constantly see them making sure to distance or separate themselves from Black Americans.
