a few days ago I jumped into a Twitter space I believe Tariq and another cat named Mel started simply asking how does immigration benefit Foundational Black Americans?
as I was listening to the start of the conversation was pretty straightforward and easy to understand, then for some reason, the Nigerians started to pop in the room and made the whole thing about them. The question was based on immigration not African immigration, immigration in general. I heard people reminding them that it wasn't specifically about them but they wouldn't let it go so, almost 4 days later we still have Twitter spaces spawn from this one conversation. The African immigrants have made it all about them, again!
The codifying that's happening with the FBA is long overdue in my opinion, I love to see how we have each other back's, now we need to direct this energy towards the true enemy. I don't see any African as lesser than me, I don't hate any of them either I just have an issue when they come here and show nothing but disrespect for the FBA family and side with white people.
what are your thoughts on this?
