Its like yall ignore what people say to get you straight then make up strawman arguments to fight and make these hollow declarations.
Calm down dude before you get an aneurism. You said you have the same wealth as white people because you have a paid off house 10 years ago. You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. You don’t have wealth.Go on somewhere weirdo. I mention one thing, tell you to imagine what I have now, and you highlight the example I used to have you obtain the info to make you think a little bit, and you can't even do it.
Yo, YOU'RE DUMB, literally. I'd imagine you come from a family that have the same level of intelligence, which is the problem. We have to break this shyt somehow, some way
And again, this all comes from how upset I get that I know we can all do well together but we have to make major changes with how we operate and what we are interested in.
You clearly can't think past what's directly in front of your face. But you got it.Calm down dude before you get an aneurism. You said you have the same wealth as white people because you have a paid off house 10 years ago. You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. You don’t have wealth.
Your opinions on black Americans are also uniformed. Black people are not systematically poor because of bad investments

Can somebody translate this post for me?
She really used the model minority “take advantage of resources” line like we don’t drive over dead ADOS towns and bodies to work every day. Or lakes and parks weren’t dropped on top of us. I live close to Lake Lanier the result of them covering up those Forsyth County riots against Black AmericansThis is the main issue
Tethers come here and question our position in this country when we literally fought and sacrificed generations to afford you the ability to come here and succeed. Yall spit in our faces in return and use cac talking points against us.
I tend to agree with how my aunt(born and raised in Sierra Leone)explained it to me when I was younger.. She said I was a REAL African American because I knew where my link to Africa is (through my parents) unlike a lot of black Americans who claim African American with no knowledge of where in Africa or what tribe they were from.. She often referred to black Americans as the b*stard children from slavery who shouldn't claim Africa.. I even have family members in Sierra Leone who don't see me and my sisters as real Africans because were born and raised in the U.S.You are not an African-American. You are a sierra-leonian American.
Freeways were also built on top of black communities.She really used the model minority “take advantage of resources” line like we don’t drive over dead ADOS towns and bodies to work every day. Or lakes and parks weren’t dropped on top of us. I live close to Lake Lanier
How is an African woman defining what a real African-American is?I tend to agree with how my aunt(born and raised in Sierra Leone)explained it to me when I was younger..

Because people like her are ethno elitists. Old world people are ethnic scrutinizers. We over here grew up in a racial incubator. When we play the ethnic scrutinizing game back they get mad. They also feel our stuff belongs to themHow is an African woman defining what a real African-American is?
They fact that we were brought from Africa in chains and had our history erased is exactly what defines us as African-Americans. If you can’t relate to that experience then you are not African-American.
I’m glad your honest about some of the anti-black American sentiment that your family felt.
And no disrespect to your aunt, but what’s the use of all this pride in your country and lineage but your family has to send their youth to another country for opportunity? I will never understand how so many “black” people have sustain for African-Americans yet depend on the opportunities created by African-Americans.

This is a very honest post especially the last part. This is what I try to explain to posters like @RehReh. Africans are very ethnocentric. You are 100% genetically Sierra Leone and only one generation removed yet your own people would claim you are not an authentic Sierra Leone.I tend to agree with how my aunt(born and raised in Sierra Leone)explained it to me when I was younger..
