How many people here actually know any African-Americans?
Not like "I went to school with one" but have had an actual friendship?
I've had a couple of conversations recently where people have confidently said things about the Black community that are ridiculously incorrect. The kind of shit where you can tell they grew up in a very white community and learned about Black history as a college freshman.
Disclaimer: I am white, but I grew up in a Black neighborhood. I was one of 3 white kids in my elementary school lol, including my brother.

Right, I know we have a lot of international users here on lemmy, so I wanted to specify Black Americans, the descendents of slaves. For instance, one of my friends and coworkers is a very dark skinned Tunisian, but that's a very different culture than the one I was asking about.
No, I am only German, not international.
Do you exist in a nation?
Yes, I exist.
Then you are international.
intranational. Easy mistake.
*whoosh*
oh wow, it's been like a decade since I saw someone do a "*whoosh*"
Did you just praise yourself for doing a thing you hadn't seen in a long time?
No value judgement, just noting the change of fashion. We're clearly better off without it, but it's a bit nostalgic.
Based move on their part, even if I do not agree on the 'whoosh', hahahah
