[-----]

yall jokes. Im not even going to respond to that bullshyt. Black America was worse off than Nigeria in the 60s/70s scary af

You will not respond to it, because you obviously knew nothing about it. You just assumed that some people sitting in African villages were worse off than black sharecroppers in the American South; which is a complete fallacy. Are you even old enough to remember the 60's and 70's in the USA? Obviously not. You have clearly never heard of the Great Migration in the USA where millions of African Americans left the Southern USA to go to the Northern States in the USA for employment. That is how millions of African Americans are in the Northern States right now. You clearly know nothing about the sharecropping that African Americans were involved in and how they were cheated and arrested and even lynched in the South if they complained about it.

That is my problem with immigrants coming to the USA. They know nothing about the USA, except for what some White peace corps worker back in their villages told them. So you all come here and assume this and that about African Americans without knowing any damn thing. Did you realize that African Americans were literally starving to death in this Country just 47 years ago? Dr. King led a poor people campaign that changed the lot of many poor people (including Whites and Hispanics); in fact Dr. King was murdered during one of the stops in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1968.

So don't assume that the lives of African Americans in the USA were so much better off than the lives of people in villages in Nigeria. The wealth that you see African Americans with now has been essentially gotten over the last 30-40 years. What I do laugh at though is that many Nigerians have to come to America. Their ancestors had no problems warring on and selling war captives to the Europeans. Many African American ancestors were captured and sold by the Nigerians and the Nigerians got rich off of slave trading. Now Nigerians descendants are reduced to begging for entry into the very land where African American ancestors were sold off to,

now im convinced you guys feel threatened by immigrants

Right, we're threatened by people who left their own countries to come to the US and then try to act like they're better than us when they're not even on a level playing field.

You are getting dumber and dumber in every post and you are showing your lack of knowledge about the living conditions and economics of African Americans in the USA during the 1960's and 1970's. African Americans didn't have a higher standard of living than most people in the African nations during the 1960's and 1970's. Did you ever visit the Southern USA in the 1960's and 1970's, which is were most African Americans roots are from? Most Black people in the Southern USA were living in shacks and many of them didn't even have indoor plumbing during that time; which is comparable to the situation that many Africans lived in on the continent. Many more Black people in the USA were living in housing projects are or in run down neighborhoods all over the USA due to stuff like red lining after many of them had migrated from the South.

African Americans situation didn't improve economically until the late 70's and 80's when a bunch of cases came down prohibiting discrimination in employment, education and housing. Oddly enough that is when a great deal of the Black middle class abandoned our cities.

u on a roll right now

I didn't shyt on my grandparents and great grand parents legacies. I honored them. It is because of their sacrifice and strength of character that I and many other African Americans are who we are today. It was their sacrifices that allow beggars like you to come into this Country right now. They were great people that God blessed even though their ethnic groups in their own homelands cursed them. But congratulations on begging your way into the USA.

How you calling nikkas foreign moochers but you chose that name

 

[-----]

in a way yes.

Black americans have literally no connection to any country/island outside of the united states. Completely different dynamic from Africans and Caribbean-americans. We are not a immigrant based culture

Many immagrants have a natural drive like a fire in the belly. Thats why they immagrated in the first place.
