Yeah, like the brothas in Corporate America who always have a Starbucks cup in their hand, but don't even know when the NBA season starts. Black folks who've been conditioned around whites stick out like brown carrots.
Rex, Black Americans survived 400+ years of oppression, dehumanization, marginalization and demonization. We are involuntary immigrants (i.e. Brought here at the point of a gun). Africans and Caribbeans are VOLUNTARY immigrants (i.e. They fled abject squalor in their homelands to crawl up under...
So very true. The irony is that there are far more Black billionaires in Africa than America. Nigeria is an OPEC nation. Conditions in many parts of Nigeria are astounding and sad. I had a friend in Lagos whose mom was dying from cancer. She'd beg me for money fir testing. She had four adult...
He is a very nice man. I really like the guy. I did not want to offend him. He never bragged about Nigeria, but I had another friend with a law degree who was from Nairobi, Kenya and to hear him tell it, Kenya was Paradise On Earth. The immigrants who lie about their countries are used to lying...
I never said ALL and would never say ALL. I said MOST. And what I said applies to most. Again, I don't hate Black immigrants and never will. But I refuse to pretend that they are allies of FBAs when they clearly are not. The notion of a Black diaspora is comical because there exists no unity...
I try to avoid referring to other Black folks as "niggas". Secondly, I don't hate Africans. I merely acknowledge the fact that the vast majority refuse to divest themselves of White Daddy Syndrome. They LOVE European soccer, LOVE the idea of interracial sexual access and have no problem being...
So true. They try to separate themselves from us, thinking that doing so will curry (pardon the pun) favor from white people. I saw it a lot when I worked in Corporate America. Very sad phenomenon.
How many "on code" Black immigrants do you know? I live in NYC and have met precious few in my 58 years on earth. If we're going to have this conversation, we must first be honest with ourselves. Being delusional serves no one's best interests.
If you think Africans are hated in America as intensely as FBAs are, then I have some nice beachfront property in North Dakota for sale if you're interested. Most Africans are oblivious to just how much FBAs were brutalized, demonized and humanized in America because a large portion of them...
Again, you are referring to the ghetto Pookies and Ray-Rays. I know because I lived in the Bronx for 18 years. The brothas you see buying Kennedy Fried Chicken, White Owls and Old E. at 2AM through a revolving plexiglass partition are Black America's unfortunate underbelly and don't represent...
I'm as yellow as a banana, yet I am proud to call myself a Black man. Most Africans and Caribbeans will react like you spit on their grandma if you refer to them as "Black". A term of racial identification is more offensive to them than Europeans and Chinese raping their lands of its vital...
Africa??? Half of Africa is already owned by the Chinese. East Coast. West Coast. Does not matter. The interesting thing about Africa is that the continent has far more Black billionaires than America, yet so many nations there sit on China's lap for "loans". Africa can't be strong as long as...
It is indeed true. I went to school with Black immigrants and worked around them for years in Corporate America. I observed how they moved and noticed alarming patterns. Most perceive themselves as "different" from FBAs until they get that inevitable wakeup call. What I find interesting is how...
So very true. The internal issues are so deep. With that being said, alliances with Black immigrants will never be formed because they align themselves with the dominant society upon arrival. That has never been FBAs.
Bottom caste in whos eyes? I don't see myself as inferior in any way to people who have to lick white ass to remain in America. I don't see FBA as particularly amiable towards immigrants. The lack of response to the Haitian border crisis illustrates my point.
This notion of a diaspora seems to be one-way traffic. Once Black immigrants get here, they give us their asses to kiss while they hug up under white folks. You can't build unity with parasites who have no sense of brotherhood. We see how the Haitian border crisis played out. Those were not...
