Some of these immigrants are not on the level of most successful Black Americans that’s why they continuously compare themselves to Pookie and Ray Ray.
Thats what they do, they compare themselves to the lowest denominator of our community to flatter their fragile ego's and jealousy, but what if we did that to them, pointing out the poverty, dysfunction, self- hatred nd criminality in their countries, amongst other things, they wouldn't like it!!!
What about the racist immigrants who are with black Americans and even have children by black Americans? Oh, yep, they are out there! I used to live on a block flooded with them. Maybe us mixing with these different cultures is messing up our people.
.........When Black American Actors played African Icons on Film......like Denzel playing Stephen Biko.......Denzel didn't disrespect the South African people for example...... Denzel held South African people in high honor and respect.......but she chose to trash Black Americans...which was so classless of her......
Agreed. She's not in the tradition of Diasporan actors like Harry Belafonte, who not only played Black Americans but respected and joined the Black American struggle.
Absolutely. However we Black South have always respected Black Americans. That is why we have so many Black Americans living in SA without any problems.
This saddens me on so many levels. The colonists continue to pump up self hate and internalized oppression stirring the pot keeping Africans and Black Americans at each others throats so we will never recognize or acknowledge that we have a history before slavery to reckon with. We are children of the African Diaspora with systems put in place to ensure we never acknowledge or make peace with our past.....to do so would be an even greater threat to Western Civilization as we know it today. She like many immigrants came here for ABC-a better chance- accepting low pay for the work while distancing herself from Black Americans who historically made it possible for her to come here. The proximity to whiteness has her and many of them in a chokehold with this need to disrespect us to increase their position and coin. It doesn't last. She doesn't look well. Yeah, I'm annoyed that she fell for the okey doke, African immigrants believe we're jealous when they are just as ignorant of our history as we are of theirs, but they come here for ABC. So sad all around the black and red ants in the jar fighting each other instead of the one who created the conditions shaking the jar up so the ants would destroy each other.

Normally I’d be upset with the pay disparity but based on her behavior towards Black Americans, she can fight her own battles. Let that tether get her wake up call!
Typical Hollywood…They made it common practice to cast British Nigerians as Black American characters. They play our characters but want to disrespect us.
I never watched Harriet and im not gonna watch wicked. I already had an issue with a black woman playing a green witch. This isn't just about her being anti black American though. Its also about the fact that many brits are taking opportunities from Americans actors of all races and genders. This has been an issue for years now. When Sam Jackson called this out years ago people attacked him but he was right. Im noticing Canadians being given opportunities as well.
Just as American actors have acting jobs and careers in Canada and Britain … they don’t complain tho … and what’s wrong with a black woman playing the role of a fictional character that’s a green witch .. idk if you know but this green witch is a very prominent character from a very much generationally beloved and respected piece of artistry … you do know that they had a black version called the wiz where they literally were the exact same character just the wiz one was a lot uglier & stereotypical and not green … so I don’t see the unnecessary issue you are having …. The film was incredible btw this black woman(regardless of region) is talented af ! And is deserving of all accolades she is about to get from this performance…. Also id like to point out that a lot of times actors from different countries are likely sought out from their respective regions due to their talent reaching broad audiences … …. Yall do know that African natives don’t see Black Americans as African Americans right ?? .. maybe yall would like to try to address that issue .. or maybe just like address the actual issue of black conservatives in this country
@@lightintheworld5690If our country is producing the film it’s fair. I can see if Africa or the Caribbean is producing a film but black Americans are not going over there and acting in those movies.
@@airmykii4090First, because of production costs a lot of filming is done on location, in Canada but cast out here in the U.S. using American actors. Trust, blk actors are NOT flocking to Canada. The movies are! Second, The Wiz was an ALL BLACK cast so your analogy makes no sense. Third, most of us have gotten the memo that Africans don't consider us as "african" American and THAT is why we've begun dileanating changing our verbiage. We've been addressing that issue for a while now to which ya'll been crying that we're "divisive." Fourth, what does black conservatives have to do with anything? The gag is that blacks really tend to be more conservative than the dems would have you believe. That's the real gag my guy. 🤨
Delineation should be the order of the day. Hollywood is co-optiing our experiences by using these tether actors and actresses. This woman is an example of this. Let that sink in.
Do you keep that same energy where you spend your money?. I wish Black Americans would move the same way against the people who really hate and disrespect you and don't want to see you prosper.
I do not think she should be allowed to play African American characters and or copy their customs, especially their music and culture, which she is whenever she is singing RnB / Jazz and or pop songs. You can discuss in an educated, respectful way differences and misunderstandings in the Black Diaspora without disrespecting anyone, especially African Americans. She should not have played Ms. Harriet Tubman or anyone else. I found her comments very offensive, and I did not forget them. Also, you do not have to be an FBA to see the hypocrisy of people like her. I know it is not all Nigerians, but it is a no for me and for her.
OMG-I’ve been saying this for years and I’m so glad to run across someone who is finally talking about it! I will NEVER watch this woman’s content. She despises Afro-Americans-and yet can’t stop stealing our music, culture and playing our heroines. Like, Bee, portray your people’s heroes whom you love and revere. Ugh. Hollywood keeps hiring Black citizens in the UK over Afro-Americans-in our OWN country because they don’t want to get off that money-and are giddy at finally being able to hamstring Black Americans, knowing that we are too fractured to fight back at the moment. Ugh. Btw-she didn’t need to wear any green makeup. (Now I’m just being petty!)
Petty on! 👍🏽 What's amazing to me is that you have these actresses like Yvette Nicole Brown who disrespected ados/fba for dileanating meanwhile Erivo and other blk immigrants are getting roles she should be getting. We are litterally fighting for her black butt to reserve blk roles just for ados/fba but she was condemning us for making the distinction. It's wild.
@xunknown6073 We are anything we want to call ourselves . In the 1960s and 1970s, we mainly used the term Africans. In later years, we used African American. Both terms are cultural terms. Anything else is political, and we know why we need them also.
You lie. Yankee means abroad. Jaree is an expression of emphasis, to emphasize what was previously said. Akata, as far as I know is a lady who is older in age, but still has the mannerism of young irresponsible girls despite her age.
Which is crazy because they snatched us from them. West Africans STILL have slave castles on their shores. Like where exactly do you think they got us 😂
That is usually the @as holes, not all of them have that mentality! "To be honest it is ghetto in every race and culture, especially European Americans??
She could never! She isn’t even special vocally, in my opinion! She doesn’t possess the natural soulfulness of Aretha, Gladys, Whitney, Kelly Price, Faith Evans or Jasmine Sullivan! I’ve been canceled her and I never went to go see the disgraceful movie Harriet! Cicely Tyson was the best Harriet Tubman, hands down!!! 🙌🏾 She’s done ✔️
This reminds me of that black/british comedian, "London", who was in "Eat, Pray, Love". While talking down to the other girls in the show, she admitted that she had to come to the U.S. to launch her stand-up career. Obviously she has no support in England. But they come here and disrespect us. I will not support these "self-hating" British grifters.
its 2 side of the story. yes people ( anyone ) for that matter comes to the US to make it big. but don't forget those films are marketed overseas and they have to have local relatable faces with a mainstream look to sell. so y'all saying someone came as if they "owe" y'all a thing . They don't and its the reason she is 100% unaffected and unbothered and keept getting her bag . a large number of US roles that are historical go to african americans except the od black brit. I will watch her work because i don't care for phony and fake diasporan wars . i remember what she said in context but y'all are busy peddling rumors and exaggerating what she said.
Foundational Black Americans. The descendants of American slaves. Black people whose ancestors were forced to build this country and fought for rights.@@coolerheadsprevail9312
I am Jamaican, and every black person in every country is ME!!!!!! She disrespected ALL BLACK PEOPLE, not just Black folks in America, ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL!!!!!!!! Disgusting.

@@pward00I live in UK and we are not the same, it is like saying to an African American that they are the same as a Somalian. Jamaican are from a completely different country with our own history, which has its core in slavery, Nigerians do not have the same history and I have never heard a Nigerian wonder or discuss any of their ancestors that may have been stolen and taken to the West Indies. They do not care.
I appreciate the sentiment but YALL ARE NOT ME NOR MY ANCESTORS. I am FBA AND ONLY SPEAK FOR THOSE. The Pan African Wakanda Dream is dead. I am now firmly against all other Non FBA groups. HYON

Why don't Africans and Jamaicans stay in their own. Poverty stricken countries. When they come to the US any success they can achieve is because of the struggle and civil rights fight of American black people. They are more messed up mentally than American blacks. They worship and look up to white people. When the colonizers left Africa and Jamaica they left them in Poverty. Now they have the Chinese as their new colonizers, stealing resources from them, creating Chinese only resorts,stores,restaurants and housing in these black countries/continent. Next comes the biracial black and Chinese kids who will refuse to identify as black.
I'm from the UK and I think Cynthia Erivo is entitled and jumped up. I can't stand her especially after mocking black Americans with her friend online. How rude. She has absolutely no etiquette. She deserves all the backlash.
It's bad enough CE played Aretha Franklin against Aretha's request for Jennifer Hudson to portray her. Howard Stern asked her how she washed with her nails and she got offended? Karma is coming for her quickly. She's about to learn today, she's not looking well right now. These immigrants are already so sorry for what they have done on this election.
These ( Black Immigrants) " Is always trying to be like ( Them Folk's).. Black American 's isn't going to take this ( Disrespect) .. From anyone or any group". 🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡
The reason people get away with this is because FBA dont have a backbone. We dont stand on business. We complain and then we forget and move on. We dont demand respect at all. No one cares about our outrage on social media especially if theres no axtion to back it up. I know personally im not watching wicked the same way i didnt watch Harriet.
You don't speak for FBA.....FBA always stand on business....Who you think got America popping....just because FBA get sabotage don't mean we not about it....Tell me whose BACK is stronger than FBA.....
Have you been reading the comments? She's gotten away with nothing. Speaking from the time of the Civil Rights Movement and beyond, We have plenty of backbone. We just don't spend a lot of time on people like this. They are inconsequential. We pick our battles and we know there are many ways to fight. Boycotting is all we need to for this situation.
There is a pattern with tethers whether they were born in the US or not, if they have immigrant parents or grandparents or great-grandparents they all have the exact same clueless, colonized, boot-licker mentality SMH
You cannot play our icon and disrespect us. That's unacceptable. I will never forget or forgive what this lady did and will not support anything she is apart of.
What I don't understand is why she chose to offend another group of Black people when people can say many negative things about her heritage. Nigerians have a bad reputation, but other Black people are not mudding them. She is a two-faced hypocrite. She is benefiting from FBA history, culture, struggle, and contacts but putting them down at the same time and trying to pretend she was taken out of context. All Black people should boycott her work.
People know nothing about Nigerians other than it being a slum and a place that the native population wants to leave in mass. Black Americans are known globally
There's nothin' she can do for me. As far as I'm concerned she spoke her heart THEN with all those nasty things she said, especially about Black Women. Now she's just side steppin' and backtrackin' without having to apologize. There's somethin' just not right about her spirit when it comes to us. Not to be trusted.
Her performances are lackluster , her singing is meh. No comparison to our great Black American singers, Aretha, Whitney, Chaka, Patti, Ledisi, Laylah, Jill and Erykah.
Hollyweird keep pushing this woman down our throats, she's not marketable, there talented and more beautiful BA actresses that can be showcased, I don't want to see a aestitcally challeengesd Nigerian British actress who have disdain for BA's.
This woman playing Harriet Tubman and Aretha Franklin, the dude from Get out played Fred Hampton and now John Boyega is supposed to play Otis Redding. It’s insane they are playing our real icons and heroes I don’t like it it’s one thing if these were just fictional characters but these were our real life heroes and change makers who influenced the whole world. These folks don’t have the magic and the soul of our people no matter how much they cosplay and no matter how much those who hate us most pay them and push them in front of us they don’t have what we do it’s not in them. I will never watch, listen to, nor support anything Cynthia Erivo does. I’m not a fan it also pissed me off on The Rockin Roll Hall of Fame when she was in video talking about she standing on Dionne Warwick shoulders I’m like no you’re not please stop it. It’s fine to admire but you’re not of our lineage so you ain’t standing on Ms Dionne Warwicks shoulders.
@ want to anchor themselves to our blues, rhythm, culture and whole lived experience as Americans to have a backstory and a career. Our stories, history, legends and contributions do not belong to them but they take it with no regard or respect use for their own advancement under the guise of assimilation, or to gain wealth. Our legacy is rooted in America not theirs so they pretend. It’s all the lies being presented and deception that they’re better than we are it’s what people like her were brought here for.
Luckily we have discernment and can pick and choose who we support. Plenty of FBA played african or other diaspora leaders without disrespecting the people they came from. Just dont support cynthia 🤷🏾 not that difficult to pirate her movies (I pirated wicked and glad I did, the singing is just okay. Covers from other singers did a much better job at selling me the songs). I'll pay to go see everyone else though - especially the guy from Get out.
JEALOUS??? Of the Nigerian dollar that isn't worth a dime? Fix your country and stay out of ours and stay out of grown folks/Black American people's business!
Can't forgive when they haven't apologized. Erivo has never apologized. Hollywood keeps shoving her down our throats. It's a NO. BTW ...don't forget Ariana licking donuts at the donut shop and then putting them back in the case.
For me her performances are note accurate but not soulful. She hits all the notes but it sounds and feels empty. From what I've read of her she is British Nigerian elite. She has no clue what Black British or Black Americans have endured and fight for. Personally, I don't like hiw her team of people are chasing JHud around trying to prove that Cynthia is better. Every time JHud is posted Cynthia is posted singing the same song. JHud has blazed her own trail, Cynthia should blaze hers. Ain't no competition. JHud all day every day!
Erivo played in this crime thriller movie as a 60’s soul singer and i didn’t know at the time she was british. But i could look at her and sense something was different and when she sang something was missing…I couldn’t put my finger on it. Then when i read and heard she was disrespectful to ADoS/FBA and was British then it clicked
My first priority is with black Americans, who are the descendants of the transatlantic slave trade, the great migration, creators of American democracy, American music, and American inventions that the world enjoys.
I will always remember what she said about us. And for that, I will forever give her the side eye. She also strikes me as a hypocrite; you make negative comments about Black Americans, but portray two of our historical figures on the screen. I don't hate her, but no coin of mine shall ever line her pockets.
She is Nigerian. They have so much contempt for Caribbean people in the UK, and it would seem African Americans too. I was told by an African person that Nigerians and Africans in general do not respect Caribbean and African American people because both are the product of slavery and supposedly have no culture. African people will usually belittle Caribbeans and African Americans behind closed doors🚪and in their language, but for her to mock African Americans on social media and while living in America and acting in American movies was pretty dumb. I watched the movie Wicked, but I was not aware of the historical tweets she posted about African American people, and she probably made those comments to a white person. Most Africans, especially Nigerians, generally try to align themselves with white people. Apart from when they are on the receiving end of their racism. Wicked was the first movie that I watched which she starred in and given what I have now discovered with regards to those tweets. It will now be the last. What a shame!
So you were told by an 'African person' - so you must think one African person is a spokesperson for all Africans. Stop making things up about Africans - you hardly know any. You certainly are not the brightest!
BA need to start holding people accountable for their actions against BA since they are not contributing anything to the benefit of advancement!! I'm so glad you are calling these people out!

The proximity to whiteness has her and many of them in a chokehold with this need to disrespect us to increase their position and coin. It doesn't last. She doesn't look well.
Yeah, I'm annoyed that she fell for the okey doke, African immigrants believe we're jealous when they are just as ignorant of our history as we are of theirs, but they come here for ABC.
So sad all around the black and red ants in the jar fighting each other instead of the one who created the conditions shaking the jar up so the ants would destroy each other. Smdh....this hit me on way too many levels this morning

We have to not support these actors/actresses that think the way she does..

They should at least get attractive ones.
@@LilithsCosmicLoungeIm cold with it, I do not support Non FBA in anything going forward.
I never watched Harriet and im not gonna watch wicked. I already had an issue with a black woman playing a green witch. This isn't just about her being anti black American though. Its also about the fact that many brits are taking opportunities from Americans actors of all races and genders. This has been an issue for years now. When Sam Jackson called this out years ago people attacked him but he was right. Im noticing Canadians being given opportunities as well.
Just as American actors have acting jobs and careers in Canada and Britain … they don’t complain tho … and what’s wrong with a black woman playing the role of a fictional character that’s a green witch .. idk if you know but this green witch is a very prominent character from a very much generationally beloved and respected piece of artistry … you do know that they had a black version called the wiz where they literally were the exact same character just the wiz one was a lot uglier & stereotypical and not green … so I don’t see the unnecessary issue you are having …. The film was incredible btw this black woman(regardless of region) is talented af ! And is deserving of all accolades she is about to get from this performance…. Also id like to point out that a lot of times actors from different countries are likely sought out from their respective regions due to their talent reaching broad audiences … …. Yall do know that African natives don’t see Black Americans as African Americans right ?? .. maybe yall would like to try to address that issue .. or maybe just like address the actual issue of black conservatives in this country
Ok, then I hope ya’ll keep the same energy and don’t play African, Carribean or Afr8-Latinos characters then?
I don’t have a problem with a green witch. That’s silly.
@@lightintheworld5690If our country is producing the film it’s fair. I can see if Africa or the Caribbean is producing a film but black Americans are not going over there and acting in those movies.
@@airmykii4090First, because of production costs a lot of filming is done on location, in Canada but cast out here in the U.S. using American actors. Trust, blk actors are NOT flocking to Canada. The movies are! Second, The Wiz was an ALL BLACK cast so your analogy makes no sense. Third, most of us have gotten the memo that Africans don't consider us as "african" American and THAT is why we've begun dileanating changing our verbiage. We've been addressing that issue for a while now to which ya'll been crying that we're "divisive." Fourth, what does black conservatives have to do with anything? The gag is that blacks really tend to be more conservative than the dems would have you believe. That's the real gag my guy. 🤨
Delineation should be the order of the day. Hollywood is co-optiing our experiences by using these tether actors and actresses. This woman is an example of this. Let that sink in.
No one is stopping us from producing and releasing our media own media. Oscar Micheaux did it back in the 1930’s
Have you noticed all the failed endeavors. If it doesn’t have FBA soul, it wont be successful
You disrespect my Bloodline/Heritage and I will never support nor Respect you!
Do you keep that same energy where you spend your money?. I wish Black Americans would move the same way against the people who really hate and disrespect you and don't want to see you prosper.
@@Rainbowsun1 Of course I do..
I do not think she should be allowed to play African American characters and or copy their customs, especially their music and culture, which she is whenever she is singing RnB / Jazz and or pop songs. You can discuss in an educated, respectful way differences and misunderstandings in the Black Diaspora without disrespecting anyone, especially African Americans. She should not have played Ms. Harriet Tubman or anyone else. I found her comments very offensive, and I did not forget them. Also, you do not have to be an FBA to see the hypocrisy of people like her. I know it is not all Nigerians, but it is a no for me and for her.

Ugh. Btw-she didn’t need to wear any green makeup. (Now I’m just being petty!)
Petty on! 👍🏽 What's amazing to me is that you have these actresses like Yvette Nicole Brown who disrespected ados/fba for dileanating meanwhile Erivo and other blk immigrants are getting roles she should be getting. We are litterally fighting for her black butt to reserve blk roles just for ados/fba but she was condemning us for making the distinction. It's wild.

@xunknown6073 We are anything we want to call ourselves . In the 1960s and 1970s, we mainly used the term Africans. In later years, we used African American. Both terms are cultural terms. Anything else is political, and we know why we need them also.
Akata, Yankee, Jareer, and Slave are slurs that the black diaspora uses for black Americans. I'm glad we found pride in our lineage.
but they all wanna be like us. We have the greatest culture on the planet. We determine what is hot. We determine what is cool
I think their jealous.
You lie. Yankee means abroad. Jaree is an expression of emphasis, to emphasize what was previously said. Akata, as far as I know is a lady who is older in age, but still has the mannerism of young irresponsible girls despite her age.
We’ve always had pride in our lineage that’s why we were so inclusive…but not anymore!
Which is crazy because they snatched us from them. West Africans STILL have slave castles on their shores. Like where exactly do you think they got us 😂

This reminds me of that black/british comedian, "London", who was in "Eat, Pray, Love". While talking down to the other girls in the show, she admitted that she had to come to the U.S. to launch her stand-up career. Obviously she has no support in England. But they come here and disrespect us. I will not support these "self-hating" British grifters.
its 2 side of the story. yes people ( anyone ) for that matter comes to the US to make it big. but don't forget those films are marketed overseas and they have to have local relatable faces with a mainstream look to sell.
so y'all saying someone came as if they "owe" y'all a thing . They don't and its the reason she is 100% unaffected and unbothered and keept getting her bag . a large number of US roles that are historical go to african americans except the od black brit.

What I don't understand is why she chose to offend another group of Black people when people can say many negative things about her heritage. Nigerians have a bad reputation, but other Black people are not mudding them. She is a two-faced hypocrite. She is benefiting from FBA history, culture, struggle, and contacts but putting them down at the same time and trying to pretend she was taken out of context. All Black people should boycott her work.
People know nothing about Nigerians other than it being a slum and a place that the native population wants to leave in mass. Black Americans are known globally
There's nothin' she can do for me. As far as I'm concerned she spoke her heart THEN with all those nasty things she said, especially about Black Women. Now she's just side steppin' and backtrackin' without having to apologize. There's somethin' just not right about her spirit when it comes to us. Not to be trusted.

This woman playing Harriet Tubman and Aretha Franklin, the dude from Get out played Fred Hampton and now John Boyega is supposed to play Otis Redding. It’s insane they are playing our real icons and heroes I don’t like it it’s one thing if these were just fictional characters but these were our real life heroes and change makers who influenced the whole world. These folks don’t have the magic and the soul of our people no matter how much they cosplay and no matter how much those who hate us most pay them and push them in front of us they don’t have what we do it’s not in them. I will never watch, listen to, nor support anything Cynthia Erivo does. I’m not a fan it also pissed me off on The Rockin Roll Hall of Fame when she was in video talking about she standing on Dionne Warwick shoulders I’m like no you’re not please stop it. It’s fine to admire but you’re not of our lineage so you ain’t standing on Ms Dionne Warwicks shoulders.
"They want our rhythm, but not our blues!"
@ want to anchor themselves to our blues, rhythm, culture and whole lived experience as Americans to have a backstory and a career. Our stories, history, legends and contributions do not belong to them but they take it with no regard or respect use for their own advancement under the guise of assimilation, or to gain wealth. Our legacy is rooted in America not theirs so they pretend. It’s all the lies being presented and deception that they’re better than we are it’s what people like her were brought here for.
Luckily we have discernment and can pick and choose who we support. Plenty of FBA played african or other diaspora leaders without disrespecting the people they came from.

My first priority is with black Americans, who are the descendants of the transatlantic slave trade, the great migration, creators of American democracy, American music, and American inventions that the world enjoys.
I will always remember what she said about us. And for that, I will forever give her the side eye. She also strikes me as a hypocrite; you make negative comments about Black Americans, but portray two of our historical figures on the screen. I don't hate her, but no coin of mine shall ever line her pockets.
She is Nigerian. They have so much contempt for Caribbean people in the UK, and it would seem African Americans too. I was told by an African person that Nigerians and Africans in general do not respect Caribbean and African American people because both are the product of slavery and supposedly have no culture. African people will usually belittle Caribbeans and African Americans behind closed doors🚪and in their language, but for her to mock African Americans on social media and while living in America and acting in American movies was pretty dumb.
I watched the movie Wicked, but I was not aware of the historical tweets she posted about African American people, and she probably made those comments to a white person. Most Africans, especially Nigerians, generally try to align themselves with white people. Apart from when they are on the receiving end of their racism. Wicked was the first movie that I watched which she starred in and given what I have now discovered with regards to those tweets. It will now be the last. What a shame!
So you were told by an 'African person' - so you must think one African person is a spokesperson for all Africans. Stop making things up about Africans - you hardly know any. You certainly are not the brightest!
