In recent times, the need to ignore the ‘superiority of race’ and other borders that have rippled humanity and facilitated more injustices have been brought to light following several events. However, while many have taken a stance against these injustices and ideas that our differences should not be integrated, the conversation on race and borderlines that comes with race identity will always spark mixed reactions from people.
In a fresh trend on Twitter, many are drawn to the conversation about the Black community using past and recent activities in America as a yardstick for their discussion.
Black Americans have started again!

While no one can say for sure what led to this trend, there are speculations that an earlier drama between Nigerian Jackie Aina and Jennifer Lopez might have sparked the conversation.
some African born ppl feel like they are so different. First and foremost trump put Nigeria on a travel ban list so yall aren’t even allowed to immigrate here anymore. secondly this mentality is why Black Americans are so paranoid and aggressive when demanding justice https://t.co/xo8nmAhYTf

While the trending conversation touched on some areas of the drama, a larger part of the ‘Black American’ trend addressed identity, racism and White Supremacy.
but black people in america still face the consequences of slavery. the abolition of slavery wasn’t just “the end” of all struggles of black americans.

Black Americans are stupid and sucker's. They support the Democratic party that us the creator of the KKK that killed Lincoln after he had the courage, that cost him his life, to undo a gross wrong on human beings.
Go ahead losers vote your rights away with corrupt Joe Biden.

So, you’re saying exactly what? Black immigrants are more “privileged“ than Black Americans? Could it be that immigrants came here to escape horrific, life-threatening living environments and are GRATEFUL for a chance to improve their lives and their children’s lives?

As many drew attention to what seems to be the ‘perceived’ characteristic of Blacks, a few others went further to point out that Black people are their own problems as they also shared theories backing their claims. They noted that black people are responsible for whatever identity people have tagged them with.
BLM is a Marxist movement, has nothing to do with saving black lives. There isn’t a problem with police killing unarmed black men, it’s a myth

How many white supremacists are in America? Because I've always thought they're less than 100000; in a country of 320m, it's insignificant. Most black Americans w/talent, education & work ethic (including you) achieve their dreams working w/white corps. WS can't be as pervasive.

Thousands of black Americans are murdering thousands of black every year. 75% of black kids don’t know their fathers. & you choose to dwell on something over 100 years ago?Wake up – you’re free & get more $ & opportunity than any group in US. Success is about making wise choices.

Im actually fine breaking this to you, but if you're white in america right now, you've benefited from the enslavement, abuse, and oppression of Indigenous Americans, not to mention nearly every other ethnic minority on American soil today. AND YET– there are ways to learn, make

America is dealing with the most violent generation of black kids to date; and their mothers made them this way…

However, some hold the opinion that the blacks in America and across borders are still experiencing the effects of slavery which they pointed out is the major cause of the problem in the world today.

i’ll try to explain. black americans were stripped of their entire identities. so it’s easy to find comfort in theories surrounding them being superior to others.
