what about similarities?

they're black




the difference is, black people in america invented their own slang...black people in canada, being that they are canadians nonetheless, use american slang originated by black people in america and try to justify using it because they are black...but no, your are CANADIANS, use CANADIAN words and slang or make up your own so white canadians can start using it to sound cool



also, i don't get why black people are called "african-americans"...most aren't even from africa..their ancestors from like 500 years ago were..you, your parents and your grandparents are from savannah, GA, not from fuckin africa...you wouldn't call a white american "british-american" unless they immigrated directly from england right? maybe second-generation-born-to-immigrant people can call themselves african-american or whatever-american but after that, youre american, bitch...with african ancestors...or cambodian ancestors...or whatever
