Interesting. It's always interesting to me what people pick and choose to want to support here. It's not gonna be our fight when a bunch of people that look like us get sent over there either.. too bad that won't matter. This seems to be the most common take though... but I guess we shouldn't mention the fact that Israel supported Apartheid and considered Nelson Mandela to be a terrorist.Not our fight! Neither side likes Black people so I don't know why some of us are going to bat.

Man, them folks been fighting for thousands of years. Some of the folks in our communities want to be so pro-Palestinian when the truth is those Palestinians don't rock with black folks like that. So yep, its a f'd up situation but I will keep my opinion to myself.Just askin lol. That cancel culture be real.
Nearly all African countries are forced constructs born out of European colonization without consideration or regard for tribalism, long standing tribal clashes, monarchies, theocracies or empires.It's weird to me African countries are supporting Palestine.. likely because they've always been sympathetic with minorities being oppressed. But here, they don't care about black folks.. even after I showed exactly where many have supported black plights lol. I'm trying to figure out how they dont like black folks. Hell our country doesnt like us and we know that for a fact, especially the south... but most of us are still right here.
So pretty much what I said lol. Folks scared as shit to say anything negative about Israel.Man, them folks been fighting for thousands of years.

Does shit on this forum ALWAYS result to the white man? Jesus christ.Nearly all African countries are forced constructs born out of European colonization without consideration or regard for tribalism, long standing tribal clashes, monarchies, theocracies are empires.
Because of the forced constructs/European colonization, trying to understand blacks from Africa through the lens of nation-state paradigms doesn't work well. Even in this day and age tribalism, tribal clashes and violent religious conflict are still very strong in much of Africa. They don't get along well with each other so it shouldn't be too surprising many of them might feel a certain way about us. Especially, since black Americans act tribal with them at times just as much as we do with one another.
As for support of Palestinians, a lot of Africans are muslims, and all or nearly all northern African nations are predominantly muslim. Also, as you mentioned, that underdog sentiment is playing a part too.
You don't understand. Let's take the made-up nation-state of Nigeria as an example. It is a nation comprised of multiple ethnic groups, tribes, languages, native and traditional religions. By some accounts there are more than 300 ethnicities and just as many languages. They are a very divided people because there is wide variance of cultures among them. Other nations in Sub-Saharan Africa are in similar situations. If they don't like each other why should there be any expectation they would like black Americans?Does shit on this forum ALWAYS result to the white man? Jesus christ.
I was in this class some years back and I gave this Nigerian guy a ride home and he told me the exact same thing you lust mentioned.You don't understand.

Per your words, " I'm trying to figure out how they dont like black folks."
Good luck with finding an answer to what you're trying to figure out without considering historical relevance.
That's where I got it from. Nigerians here in America are frustrated with things back home. A person that can suspend judgement, ask and listen intently will hear plenty they would never get informed about here in America otherwise.I was in this class some years back and I gave this Nigerian guy a ride home and he told me the exact same thing you lust mentioned.
It's both. You can't separate one without the other. Although in the eye of the Amerikkka inbreeds they see it as religion.America's faux-christian values aren't the reason why it supports Israel. Christians had warred with the jews and Muslims in Palestine for centuries(crusades). America led the charge to create the "state" of Israel after WW2 and that came at the expense and the displacement of alot of people who were already there. Thats the real reason the 2 are allies. Its geo-politics more than religion
