The stereotype was born out of Black American history though... specifically.
They eat fried chicken in Korea, that's not the point here. She specifically mentioned "Fried Chicken and Watermelon"... clearly playing on the racist, Black American trope. You may eat fried chicken, but Fried chicken is culturally tied to BAs... not Senegalese. Pay attention

Ladies & gentleman,
THIS is what they're calling "Anti-African propaganda". Mind you, they call us "baby mamas, drug dealers, lazy, slaves, uneducated, no culture" etc.
But THIS light hearted stuff right here is supposed to be what's "malicious". Gaslighting & projection 101.

What Maxine was doing WASN'T "animal sounds". It's called "Ululation" and it's a traditional chant/cry done across Africa.
Also, Khadijah and Synclaire were loosely singing "The Circle of Life". Yall gotta try harder if you wanna push this "anti-African propaganda" LIE.
That living single episode where they were making animal sounds because a character wore something african coded.

Yall always tryna tell us NY is a melting pot. Why would he be killed for being Ghanaian when it's supposed to be a melting pot of immigrants there? Nobody gonna kill a kid for being an immigrant when they're surrounded by a bunch of immigrants. THINK.
so a young Ghanaian boy was bullied in the Bronx and he was eventually shot and killed. literally was such a quiet kid and he came to America less than a year ago. His dad has been in America for the past 26 years. xenophobia is genuinely despicable. I’m sick to my stomach.

You're said our grandmas were "neighbors in ghana". THAT's ignorant.
And no, you weren't using "grandma" as poetic license for "ancestors across many generations". You purposely used "grandma" to imply RECENT, familial proximity. Compressing time & misrepresenting our history.
Après c des américains quoi ils ont littéralement une réputation d’ignorants on peut pas faire grande chose pour eux mdrrrr

We're THE people who made "Black" cool to be. We're the only group that uses "Black" as their ethnic identifier. The nerve of these cowards that fled their AFRICAN HOMELAND to run to a colonizer's land and willingly choose French names to say this crap about us.
Enft ce que vous comprenez pas c’est qu’ils ont appris à être AMÉRICAINS avant d’être noir dès qu’on parle d’autre noirs ils deviennent raciste

You think "that's it" because you have an immigrant's mind frame. You think like an immigrant who recently flooded someone else's established country and culture.
We been in America for 5+ centuries and before a nation even existed. We are not the same.
The oldest living woman in America was a Black American born before Ghana even existed as a country.
It's like Africans can't grasp the concept of time. They never say "great, great, etc. [grandparents]". They just say "grandma"; THEY don't know their own history past that.
