Can they not develop the communities where they live as well? They may all be moving back home, but their children are not.

So the unions are actually state/village unions not pan-Igbo organizations?
I'm quitting this thread for the culture, this is too much for one week, talk less a day.
Thanks for at least tryin' brehs.

It depends on the union. You have village unions, state unions and pan-Igbo unions. The biggest pan-Igbo union we have is called Ohaneze Ndigbo and they have branches across the globe. You can do some research on the topic if you're that interested in it. Also, a lot of young Nigerians are moving back home, certainly those from the UK. However, leaving isn't so simple and many, like me, would prefer to be economically grounded in the UK as well as Nigeria before leaving as the Nigerian economy is not stable.

This is why you have to build productive communities you are in control of. Being grounded in places where you have no power is not a good idea.

They fought for white people and their hegemony. African-American servicemen were lynched when they got back "home".


I don't deny c00nery with black Africans too. African-Americans just have it worse than Africans in terms of loving the white man.

Why wouldn't we have it worse?

We're the enslaved, terrorized group with no real knowledge of our history and heritage. Everything should be worse for us

This is a classic disingenuous African argument where you try to compare yourselves to us, while leaving out the fact that we went thru 400 years of brainwashing and terror.

And it still doesn't negate the fact that you're still the richest continent with the poorest people and you're probably gonna stay that way for the next 100 years

Keep it up, you're doing great

The Chinese have been in the US since the 1880s. Nigerians only began arriving in large numbers from the 1980s. If you're lucky, Nigerians will assimilate into African-American culture. If you're unlucky - we'll remain apart like Somalis and Ethiopians.

Why are we "unlucky" if nigerians don't assimilate into our culture?

There are only about 300000 nigerians in america.

About 2 million continental africans in america

And nearly 4 million indian americans in america

And thats just indians, not other south asians

You know and I know.....the onus is on Africans. Stop the deflection bullshyt about AAs, Afro Latinos and Islanders.

Look man, I don't disagree with you, but whats the point of having a "who's the better black people" pissing contest when we've all been screwed over?

You'll see.

 

[Free White & 21]

You'll see.

Nah nikka

Explain why African Americans would be LUCKY to have Nigerians assimilate into our culture?

This should be good

Y'all need to cut it out. Both have extreme circumstances that you have to be present or a part of it to understand.

Mensa, shut up about Blacks. If you have be Black in America and see the bullshyt first hand for at least 30 years to even speak on it. Otherwise, you talking out of your ass.

Poitier, shut up on Igbos in Nigeria. The circumstances is dire and you have to literally be there and network with people there to understand how as a collective, they are oppressed. That doesn't mean individuals don't have success but it's not the collective for sure.

That being said, Mensa, the data about Black Igbos in America is disingenuous at best. It don't mean nothing. It's not creating any real wealth and there isn't a collective to where this will exist in the next 50 years. So it's just data. They aren't DoS. They really aren't different than Indians or Asians with the exception of being Black. It's the reason why they stay in school longer but they are immigrants with a home, Blacks aren't. And more than that. They haven't been through Jim Crow, chattel slavery, redlining or segregation. If you onlu knew it took Blacks 20 years to catch whites in education after slavery ended then you realize what is happening today is systematically enacted. Both of y'all need to fall back and that say that respectfully as I respect you two in terms of mindset.

This thread exposed a lot of the bs that Africans are on

It also exposed how hard African Americans defend Africans

We love them but the love is a one way street

I'm done defending them

I wouldn't say that, the issue is, Black folks and African folks don't realize how similar but how vastly different they are from each other. I know from both ends.

Africans think Blacks are lazy acting white people.

Blacks think Africans are poor ass immigrants in their country who come to America and think they are the shyt.

In general, both have points but this don't hold weight or answer any questions which solves shyt.
