Black Africans New TikTok Trend Mocking Blackness Has Some Claiming Poor People Are Ugly Or Only Black People

Well it has happened again, Black Africans have found a new trend to make fun of Black people again on social media and it is fucking annoying as usual. The sound has been used over 1.1 million times so far, the original sound was created by someone that made no damn sense but that didn't matter.

Like that Rango Tenge, whatever, the little boy with the mud rubbed all over his face, who acts like an animal. His YouTube video was removed for doing black face and having African children playing in the dirt like animals.

We have Africans that continue to chase their colonizers, in search of respect and recognition. When the world of performers white and Black were refusing to perform for King Charles crowning, Black Africans jumped at the chance. Not only did they jump, they took to social media so proud to proclaim that Africa was rising because their artists belittled themselves to jump at the chance to dance and sing for their King.

When I posted about this on my TikTok account Africans came out to insult me, I then posted a collage of African newspapers, where African leaders poured themselves out for the passing of the Queen. As if showing that you cared more about the death of this elderly white woman, your country would be seen in a more favorable light.

While I not one former French colony would do the same if the president of France died today. The fact that it was very refreshing that these African countries never mentioned the king or queen of England.

Africans shared a post calling Africans "blackies" while laughing, this was not the only degrading post I have seen shared. For some reason Black Africans enjoy mocking themselves, then run to gather as if they're the forever victims when racists decide to use their own posts to insult them.

For some reasons these same Afrians can't help but ignore when racists attack them, they're attacking all Black people. There is no part in the brain of these stupid racists that separates Black Americans from Black Africans.

This is why blackface is offensive

It’s been nearly 200 years since white performers first started painting their faces black to mock enslaved Africans in minstrel shows across the United States. It was racist and offensive then, and it’s still racist and offensive today.

Among the recent controversies to erupt over blackface is a photo on Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s personal page in his medical school yearbook. It depicts one person in blackface and another dressed as a member of the Ku Klux Klan. After initially apologizing for appearing in the photo, the Democratic governor now says he is neither the person in blackface nor the person dressed as a Klansman.

However Northam’s case and others like it play out, it’s important for every American to understand what blackface is and why it’s so offensive.

I don't seem to understand this disconnect within the Black African community to want to always mock the darkness of their own skin. I recently made a TikTok post, where a woman who's from South Sudan posts content about her life in Canada and her beautiful and happy 5 children.

Her account is the most exciting account a person can follow as she navigates her life in Canada, which is one of the top 3 coldest countries in the world. She posts about dealing with the snow, her parenting of her children and she goes Live on TikTok and answers peoples questions.

However I came to one post, where she's holding her baby and I couldn't help but notice there were hundreds of bullying comments about her dark skin. When I posted the stitch, someone commented, they're always leaving these cruel comments.

Most if not all of the worst comments were from Africans, Kenyans were called out as well as South Africans. She made a post on her page about South Africans insulting her. These insults were also, I feel an attack on all of Africa and South Sudan. I have wanted for a few years now to start posts and groups about colorism in Africa and the Black American communities.
