Don’t let it go over your head that when they audition to get these roles, many of them believe they’re doing variations of a “Slave accent” when speaking Black American dialects in general.

We both know why, he can't benefit off those so called connections
He could have did Jamaica that had way more African slaves than the US but they always focus on the US cuz that's how they get their bag

Berda Lum Chan (1913-1994)
In The Mississippi Chinese: Between Black and White, James Loewen reveals that Berda Lum Chan, one of the daughters of the plaintiffs in the Lum v. Rice case, resents the discrimination she suffered from whites in Mississippi and in Houston where she later came to reside.
HOWEVER, in spite of all of the hatred she received from white folks, Berda apparently STILL disliked the Civil Rights Movement and DID NOT want to see her children marry black.🤡

In 1927 a Chinese couple actually sued for the right to send their daughter to an all whites school in Mississippi and ended up setting a TERRiBLe Supreme Court precedent for school segregation that was not overturned for nearly 30 years in Brown v. Board.time.com/4533476/lum-v-rice-…

Would you ask these questions to the ethnic groups within African nations?

what does insisting on an exclusively “black american” ethnicity get you? how does this particularization advance any goal of liberation? certainly we should celebrate black american culture, but let’s not pretend it happened in a bubble closed off from the rest of the diaspora

The xenophobia and erasure of African and Caribbean cultural and political exchange is the fascist part. Saying RnB is black American culture is just an extension of that nativist American ‘exceptionalist’ logic

Our language and dialects are not random, we aren’t making “mistakes.” Others can’t just wake up one day and decide to speak AAVE. We are birthed into our systems.

*immigrant group.” I remember last week we were being told that our language system and dialects come from the Caribbean and Africa. No. Linguist agree there was a certain level of isolation that we went through. Also, our “creole” varieties are unique as well.

And it all comes from Black American culture. Including the reason it’s tied to breakbeats. Also, James Brown released “Brother Rapp” in 1970. “Before” Hip Hop.
