If you post 66,000 tweets, you should be executed in the street. I’m not joking.

>>18460597
He said that the current protests shouldn't be violent, so a bunch of tankies started asking why his family decided to leave Vietnam in the late 1960s.

>>18460597
Tankies want him dead because he said that protests should be peaceful.

Rightoids want him deported because he admitted that he's an illegal immigrant from Vietnam via Canada.

We can only pray that he gets sent to prison in El Salvador.

He should call out the jews, hopefully point out the kayfabe with elong and trump, then finally tweet to vance what it felt like getting fucked in the ass by Pete Thiel before they kick him out of America or ban hammer him on twitter.

His posts about fashion are actually really good. It's too bad he makes so many low quality tweets taking cheap shots at politicians he dislikes for dressing poorly, getting into internet cat fights, and making generic left wing political statements that aren't unique or insightful. He can do whatever he wants, but when I was following him my fyp was filled with his garbage tweets so I unfollowed him. I just wanted to see the 5% of his tweets that are actually about fashion.

NTA. You capitalize Black because you're talking about a distinct ethnic group, not the color of their skin. You capitalize it, just like you would capitalize German, Russian, Polish, Chinese, Italian, etc.

he's retarded for painting an everest-sized target on his back, but i can empathize with his situation. he didn't have a choice in his parents bringing him here illegally as a baby, and by all accounts he's contributed positively to his community (whether you consider that to be menswear discussion, his state/country, whatever). if he's forced to leave i hope he's able to settle safely in canada.

This phaggot tried to dunk on Cons making fashion faux pas, from which they argued he can't argue for maintaining rigid traditional ethnic dress bc he is otherwise politically against this idea. After that he made a giant cope post saying there's no such thing as a defined genres anyway.

>You capitalize Black because you're talking about a distinct ethnic group
Sorry Professor, but "black" is a description used to refer to skin color the same way "white" is
African, Nigerian, Ghanaian, Congolese, Somalian, etc. Those are distinct ethnic groups
Black is not.

That's the reason they refer to themselves as "African-American".
Black just refers to their skin color and only retarded academics capitalize it

they don't really though, that's a term Huite boomers use when they complain about the Afro-Americans and their baggy pants. it's the same crowd that is scared to say "Mexican" or "Jewish" because in their head those are horrible slurs

>>18461279
Have you ever met an African? The Black people in the US are not the same as African people back in Africa. With time, a distinct cultural, linguistic, and ethnic group emerged out of the Africans taken as slaves. Their distinctness as an ethnic group and cultural non-Africanness was also "artificially" fueled by slavery, which aimed to strip them of their roots. These are a people who do NOT feel a connection to Africa anymore. Their cultural practices are also completely different. As a result, a new ethnicity emerged.
What I am describing here is not a controversial or liberal thing. I am the furthest thing from a liberal btw. This is just how ethnicities emerge, ie. ethnogenesis.

he has to go back

>>18461318
my Huite brother I live in a neighborhood that's traditionally what boomers like you would call "Afro-American" (what everyone else just calls "Black") and has a recent influx of Africans from the great country of Africa, it's pretty easy to tell who is who, so yeah I think I know a thing or two more about this than you, who have read about this stuff in your 8th grade social studies class. the Blacks here all call themselves Black, or at least 99.99% of them do, there might be a few weirdos who go with "Afro-American" or "Nubian" or something. the ones from the actual country of Africa don't really talk to anyone much, though the menfolk do so from time to time (the womenfolk keep to themselves as is their wont)

also none of your self-important diatribe has anything to do with my post

>>18461281
>That's the reason they refer to themselves as "African-American".
African-American (typically used when referring to the ethnicity we are discussing here) and Black are the same thing. Basically. But the difference is that Black is an in-group ethnonym without an explicit reference to their Americanness.
>Black just refers to their skin color and only retarded academics capitalize it
But you would still call an albino "African-American" Black, right? What if its a lightskin person? Would you not call them Black anymore? I am pretty sure that you are not talking about the color of their skin (beyond it being the most obvious heuristic) when you call them Black but refuse to capitalize it.
Black is an ethnonym.

>>18461326
I replied to the wrong post. I meant to reply to >>18461275 .
You're clearly agreeing with me. Blacks and Africans are not the same. Not even close. That's why we call them Black.

>>18462113
>why not capitalize White as shorthand for Americanized European
Because white Americans still have their connections to their ancestral roots, while Black people don't. American whites will proudly claim to be 1/10th Irish, 1/25th German or whatever. And while actual Europeans wouldn't consider these people European or even white, for that matter, white Americans themselves still self-identify with "their" ethnic roots. They'll say they're Irish or Italian. But never a completely separate group or a completely new ethnicity.
Blacks are different, obviously. They were cut off from their specific African ethnic identities through slavery. No Black person identifies as Yoruba-American. Because this connection was severed and very violently. And they're nothing like the Nigerians, for example, anymore. So, a new ethnicity was born with time. "Black" is an ethnonym for this ethnicity.
Again, white Americans ALREADY have their ethnic identities (Irish, German, Polish, etc). Blacks do not. Black people don't see themselves as African. But American whites see themselves as European.

If you still want a word for "white" Americans though, "mutt" works perfectly

>The entire concept of "ethnicity"
Braindead, non-scientific nonsense pushed by the jew Franz Boas' students, expliticly for the purpose of undermining American culture.
If you wish to learn more about how laughable it is to use the term "ethnicity" in serious context go read The Culture of Critique. No one has ever refuted it, maybe you'll be the first.
>African-Americans are their own separate genetic cluster from African Blacks.
Valid. They're 20-30% white/hispanic at this point.
>Black is an African-American identity
Retarded, and historically illiterate. The term "Black" was used to describe africans over 500 years before the civil rights movement.
>White Americans are their own separate genetic cluster from Europeans which you call "mutts"
Then why isn't White a valid "ethnicity" but "Black" is? Your logic is flawed and broken. You should proof read your own thoughts in your mind and make sure they're consistent.

>>18462362
>Braindead nonscientific nonsense
People have recognized ingroups and outgroups for as long as we have been alive. This understanding of these groups is ethnic, and thus necessarily always racial. Read anthropology. Even the Amazon savages have a concept of ethnicity. It is distinctly ethnic and refers to their peoples, across different villages. They share the same culture and blood, and that's what makes them eg Yanomami
Ethnicity is a strong feeling of selfidentification with a specific culturally, historically, and usually linguistically distinct, group of peoples of the same race. This means that Germans and Austrians selfidentify as Germans and Austrians, respectively, despite there being no genetic difference. And despite sharing even a language, they feel strongly about being two distinct groups. This strong selfidentification is all ethnicity is
Of course, you cannot be racially African or Asian, etc. and ethnically German. But this is well understood
>>AfricanAmericans are their own separate genetic cluster from African Blacks
I did not say this. And this is irrelevant. I am talking about ethnicity NOT race
>Rslurred, and historically illiterate. The term Black was used to describe africans over 500 years before the civil rights movement
The word existed. But it wasn't used as an ethnic SELF-IDENTIFIER. The Africans weren't calling themselves "Black". To you, externally, they all look the same, but to them there were MAJOR differences between the Hausas and the Yorubas. Huge differences. They obviously wouldn't want to be part of the same group. There was no PanAfricanism back then lmao
>Then why isn't White a valid "ethnicity" but "Black" is
You cannot call yourself "White" until you forget your European roots. When you strongly feel you're no longer the same as Europeans, you can call yourself something new and different. But there's been no ethnogenesis yet. But from a European perspective, am*ricans calling themselves "White" is just ironic

>>18462390
so blacks can start self-identifying as black in the 1960s and it gets the b capitalized but white people calling themselves white for over 400 years is invalid for some unexplained reason you would have to be primed with years of schizophrenic lefty psychobabble to comprehend. got it.
>I am talking about ethnicity NOT race
the idea of ethnicity didn't exist until slightly before the civil rights movement. it has no scientific basis and it was pushed for strictly political reasons, conceived by two jews continuing franz boas' fraudulent 'work'.
i believe your problem in understanding what white people are is a great example highlighting how flawed the concept of ethnicity is itself. it highlights that more than it shows white people aren't valid or whatever you seem to think, from an outside perspective who isn't primed with decades of marxist anti-white propaganda. most sane people can just intuitively tell you what a white person is and they have a general idea for who's white or not.
if you can't define it with some kind of objective metric, like say a genetic cluster, then its fantasy and fairy tales. there's a reason this is generally regarded as the second worst, least serious field of science after economics.

>>18462390
great example of how wrong you are and how broken the logic behind 'ethnicity' is:
how come most native americans picked phrases involving 'white' to describe the colonists on first contact? how come the same is true with most indigenous or pre-existing cultures on first contact with europeans? there are modern examples. its not the only name we're given but white, white-skin and variants thereof are the most common. things like "noticing these people have a drastically different shade of skin than you are used to seeing" is intuitively baked into us, if you're not mentally ill you just know what an asian or white person is. race mixing blurs those borders but you never define something by the outliers.

>>18463948
>but white people calling themselves white for over 400 years is invalid for some unexplained reason
But Europeans haven't been calling themselves "White". That's not an ethnicity for Europeans. Their skin is white, but not their ethnicity. They're German, Italian, Irish, Polish, French etc.
Black refers to a completely new ethnicity. NOT skin color. And "White" cannot YET be an ethnicity because white people in America feel that they're still European.
Do you understand that the descends of African slaves in America do not have a connection to their African roots the same way white Americans have to Europe. The African ethnic identities were deliberately destroyed and lost as a consequence of slavery.
With time they're all mixed and they cannot possibly point to any particular point in Africa where they came from. They do not know their ancestors. They have no connection to the Old World.
You now have a group of people that is distinct both from Africans and from the white Americans that surround them. They then developed their own culture, dialect, cuisine, art, music, religion, etc. which are completely separate from anything in Africa. This is ethnogenesis. "Black" is an ethnonym for this group.
White Americans didn't through this process. Once they no longer feel European, they can start calling themselves something else.

Wrong.
>it highlights that more than it shows white people aren't valid or whatever you seem to think
White people are hecking valid! You're literally crying.
>marxist anti-white propaganda
I am more racist than you, dumbass.
Do you understand that you wanting to call yourself "White" over European is you losing your roots and becoming more like the Black people you hate. But it's still very early on in the process of ethnogenesis. And there's still unresolved tension in you wanting to claim a new ethnicity while still remaining European. This is impossible. And you'll have to figure it out.
I can go along with you calling yourself "White", as long as you don't also claim you're anything like the Europeans like me. Your skin color isn't even white.
To a European you're already a completely different thing. To us, you're mutts.
And its extremely funny when you start talking about your European ancestry. You're not European. But you think you are. But you also think you're not. You're White! And you're confused. This confusion is normal and part of ethnogenesis. You're feeling similar things to what the descendants of African slaves felt before their ethnicity crystallized as Black.

>>18463955
>how come most native americans picked phrases involving 'white' to describe the colonists on first contact?
Yes, Europeans are white. Their skin color is white.
But they don't self-identify as "White" because they already have their existing ethnicities.
>things like "noticing these people have a drastically different shade of skin than you are used to seeing" is intuitively baked into us
Yes, but observing the color of the skin doesn't yet tell us much about ethnicity, which is a group's cultural and social articulation of biological race through shared historical experience.
And when the natives were saying wasichu, they weren't distinguish between the French, Spanish, English.
