I didn't find the article too interesting; it was pointing out the obvious with a lot of chest-puffing and bits of trivia. But another interesting point did strike me while reading a few of the posts.
Black Africans, as opposed to African Americans. Blacks in Africa trying to be like African Americans. It's the same thing. "Ay yo magne, that was the deally deal, on the real fo'shizzle" , wearing their plastic 'chains', calling each other 'nigga', putting on the accent, and generally acting like their American counterparts. GTFO. It's the same thing. Obviously not all Africans do it, but it seems like every day more and more are.
How ironic this thread struck me as.
Btw, I am proudly of mixed descent.
