The GateKeepers of Blackness Think Mocking Black People is Funny - Black Africans Sharing Video of Boy Calling Africans "Blackies"

Some Africans swear that they own blackness, you aren't Black unless you were born in Africa, this is according to more than enough Africans. Then you have the Africans who claim, "there are no Black people in Africa" because they're all Africans, they don't see race.

Then you have people like Woda Maya who thinks there is no such thing as a racist or hateful Black African, Africans like him proclaim that everyone in the world is welcome to come to Africa, because of course there is no such thing as discrimination in all of Africa, the most peaceful and loving continent on earth.

In Ghana I learned that Black Ghanians actually call darker skinned people "blackies and darkies" this is supposed to be acceptable because it's a "house name" the word they use for nickname.

So I wasn't too amazed when I started seeing several Ghanians, along with other Africans sharing a stupid video on TikTok with a little boy being asked a question. The video starts with a woman asking, if you can someone from Nigeria, Nigerian and someone from Ghana, Ghanian, what do you call a person from Africa. The boy smiles, then replies "Blackie!"

Not only was this TikTok video widely shared but I saw it more than once on my WhatsApp story feed, meaning several people shared the video.

Ironically the Ghanian who thinks that all Black Americans are lost and that I am a "typical, Angry Black American woman!" Also shared the video. He also said that "We Africans, don't think Black Americans.....!" I cut him off before allowing him to finish, it's hatred that I've heard more than enough living in Ghana, where Black Africans don't think that Black Americans are really Black people. Especially lighter skin Black Americans.

Like this Ghanian woman was trying to tell me that no ones Black unless they speak Ewe or Ga, Ghanian languages. She was first trying to tell me that I'm not Black because I have light skin but then she goes onto say no ones Black unless they speak an African language and are from an African country.

Black Woman in Atlanta Called 'Darky' On Food Receipt Ghanians Black Africans Use The Same & Worse in Africa

When you complain in Ghana they say leave my country, when you complain in America they say "Go Back To Africa!"

Ghana is listed very high on skin bleaching, no in 2016–17 it was made illegal, that is a lie. Products are still found, however they could fix this by punishing people for using this terminology.

When the woman noticed that they had written "darky" she asked could she have a refund for her order which she hadn't yet received. The person replied telling her that they didn't give refunds, even after writing the racial slur on her receipt.

There was a Black woman, visually upset, she tells how someone recommended this place to her named Woody’s 2 LLC at 45 Irby Avenue NW, in Atlanta, Georgia. She apparently loves vegan food.

She places her order but then notices how the man working at Woody’s spelled her name as “Darkie”

I can only assume Black Africans like to mock dark skin color and think it's funny, only when it's a white person they cry racism. I don't know many Blacks from America that think any of these names are funny what so ever. I'm not dark skin and I think that people who use these terms shoud be hit in the face as hard and as often as possible. I will never understand why Black Africans think inulting names against dark skinned people is something to laugh at. Why laugh at stupidity?
