The coon get bents out of shape in the interview and says it’s not worth his time because he is being challenged. I can’t stand cowards like him. If you are going to coon it up at least stand on it.

 

[Nesut]

I hate him so much. As I listen to the podcast it sounds like a white man talking.

He is so salty over how Van Lathan is going in on him. He cannot defend a word he has said. #vanlathan

Here's the full episode:

Emmanuel Acho has publicly been on the anti-Black tip for years now. Remember, he was one of the "Black" voices speaking against Colin Kaepernick's protest years ago. The clip in the OP is yet another reason why FBA need to delineate, and stop allowing foreigners to speak on OUR culture, OUR issues, and OUR concerns. They ain't us; and when we allow them in our circles, they're anti-Blackness always rears its ugly head.

Logically it makes no sense. His accent means he was either born in America or came at such a young age he picked up the language and culture naturally.

So HIS life experiences are the same as other Black men and he CHOSE to deal with it differently. And by differently I mean to condone it to some extent, excuse it to some extent and dismiss the same bigotry, racism he experienced along with every other black person in America.

His lineage in his life experience means nothing. If he was adopted by an FBA family and didn't know his own lineage, and went through the SAME life experiences, would he say the thing? No. Even though he had a Nigerian lineage.

What gives me some hope is the response by the Nigerian-American sista checking him.

 

[ZxBro]

we find out who you really are when you're in the presence of white society.....👀💀💯✊🏿

 

[Jay]

He is the quintessential tether.

 

[Deleted member 1348]

His whole statement is basically a coded message to white folks that he's a committed buffer class negro but tried to nuance/finesse it hoping the rest of us wouldn't see it.

Epic fail. You can't nuance coonery.

 

[josiah starr]

I suspect that quite a few non-FBAs share this guys view.....on the low.

Acho has spoken about his upbringing on air before. He was born in the U.S. to Nigerian parents. He went to elementary, high school, and college here, but only saw Black Americans from a distance. He grew up in Texas, but he didn't grow up in our culture. He grew up eating egusi soup and jollof, not our food. His parents probably told him from a very young age not to associate with akata. In his own words, he didn't start associating with Black Americans until he played college football.
Emmanuel Acho doesn't see himself as one of my people. We (FBA) should give him the proper respect of acknowledging that he isn't one of us, and never will be.

He grew to eating African food but with a family who taught him that White is right and to do everything to ingratiate himself with them. He was the Black kid you saw in school around nothing but White people. They Black kid that could not relate to the other Black and the more if was brought to his attention, the more it drove him to White society. He is a disgrace and his interviewees showed how thin skinned he truly is.

I agree with you until your last sentence. Acho may be a disgrace to FBA/ADOS/Freedmen, but he is making his people proud. His family doesn't want him around us, or in our culture. His family doesn't want Emmanuel to assimilate with us. He hasn't.
Make no mistake, Emmanuel Acho is still on code. It's just that he's on code with his people, not ours.

Chris Darden = Emmanuel Acho

Johnny Cochran = Van Lathan

I wasn’t speaking from the perspective of his people, I was speaking from my perspective and from the perspective of Black people who are centered on Black Empowerment.

I know, that's why I wrote what I wrote.

RCNAL I tried to respond to you directly, but the comment button won't allow for further replies. Please use the reply button (the one that looks like a speech bubble)

That's what he ate at home. There are plenty of black neighborhoods with people who ate Oha soup (Nigerian) at home, Akee and Saltfish (Jamaican) at home, Roti (Trinidad) at home, grits (FBA) at home and all them went to school together, played together and experienced systemic racism together. Just like I did. Some of them had parents that said whatever but their life experiences made them look at their parents who said that as uninformed or whatever. Just like maybe FBA coon parents did.

Your life experiences trumps EVERYTHING. You can't ignore white cops pulling you over and effing with you for no reason no matter what your parents tell you. You can't ignore that non Black (take your pick, Korean, Arab, etc) store owner following you around the store no matter what your parents tell you.

You brought up a great point about life experiences, and I've witnessed it on more than one occasion. A lot of immigrants don't rock with us, but then once they get a n-word wake up call, they want to jump on the pro-Black bandwagon. They go from "I'm not Black, I'm Panamanian" to "Yo, yo, yo, what's good, Bro!"
Just because you got pulled over, or followed by a store owner, that still doesn't put you in league with us. We don't need to trauma bond with you just because some white cop treated you poorly.

Also, soon as they receive so called favor, they're right back on the white bandwagon, KEEP YO' ASSES OVER THERE & GET WHAT YOU DESERVE!

Acho claiming he was set up 😑

 

[josiah starr]

What a flawed concept, founded on flawed logic. White ppl are not ignorant regarding White Supremacy/Racism. They constructed racism.
