BX Ol' Heads, I heard Essence Fest was a flop this year!

Not sure what�s going with essence fest but this new FBA/Africa discussion is interesting to say the least.

It's ret@rd losers who need to find a place of " self worth" most black Americans don't give 2 fu#ks about "FBA" that sh1t is reserved for dumb low self esteem n1gga with YT daddy's as fathers ...

Also most concert sales are down..cost of living is just too goddamn Hugh for celebrating anything other then the norm

Yt corporates owns Jazz Fest, Essence and Voodoo fest nowadays so they're tone deaf placing acts. They don't know what's profitable and plus Lauren Hill is always late to her shows either an hour or 2 late, she's not professional at all

don't fall for "their" trap ...they been using the divide and conquer playbook for forever coz it works ...

i wouldn't be surprise if some of these FBA nuggaz work for the CIA or get money from special interest groups

like the kenyan ceo said we all are black people...it doesn't matter where u come from

I�m just saying - remove �them� from the conversation for a second. It does matter where you come from. We found that out in Liberia, in Ghana there are already complaints of black Americans gentrifying, and Africans have a certain difference of perspective from the rest of us when they come here.

The point is - Africans don�t seem to realize they are pushing a nomadic lifestyle on black Americans. If you tell me that this is not my home, and there is obvious friction when we go to the motherland, then we have no home. This is what jews, Kurds, and gypsies deal with: a people without a land to truly call home and who are inevitably persecuted everywhere they go. That�s not something anyone with sense would sign up for. We can politic as fellow blacks, but with the understanding that we as black Americans have an identity and this our home.

I'm a Crayola Crayon color with little understanding of my African roots beyond Igbo on my paternal grandmother's side.


That said, yall n1ggas are weird.


Essence dying because black culture is dying


Black culture is dying because it relies too heavily on white people


White clothing lines, white record label money, white fans buying the music, white neighborhoods after making money, white or gay movie and TV production, white talking points in politics and acceptance into white spaces.

If anything we need to be connected MORE with negros of the diaspora from the Caribbean, Africa, and elsewhere.


I understand demanding respect as an American
Black man, but dissing other negros gains us nothing.

Try educating them instead
