The point is that this really isn't related to American understandings of or discourse about race, except to the extent that the people involved happen to be American. This is just pure ethnic nationalism.

No, you're right that it isn't a problem of "Americans imposing blah blah," but saying it is nationalism at all is also wrong. It's bad pop history is what it is.

And frankly even if it does have something to do with black Americans, I don't care. It's not the imperialistic nightmare everyone makes it out to be. Black Americans have been oppressed in their own country since the start. They're not oppressing anyone else by starring in movies.

Considering black Africans have repeatedly complained about black Americans talking over them when it comes to black rights outside of the US, there definitely is an issue with American faux superiority.

Another DA

That isn’t “faux superiority”, because that isn’t black Americans thinking or acting like they’re superior to Africans. It’s some black Americans misunderstanding social issues that African people experience, and them assuming that they’re the same as black American issues. And inserting American issues where they’re not relevant and don’t belong is a problem. But it’s not a matter of “superiority”. Unless you believe that anyone can think they’re superior to others because they assume they have it worse or that they don’t understand the difference in issues between countries. That’s not being superior.

To clarify: There is a lot of American superiority-complexes in the country, I just don’t think this is an example of that.

Meh, sometimes black Americans can be ridiculously condescening towards non-US black people because they allegedly don't understand the social issues black Americans are addressing and they tend to think that non-US black people are ignorant because of that. So yeah, that's kinda coming from a place of faux superiority.
