Welcome to the West.
I'm 'black British'. When it comes to making money and community I'm hella jealous of the US black diaspora. The way society is set up here for blacks - c00ning is the norm. We have zero wealth in this country. Zero networks. There's obviously no HBCU's. You graduate with no tools of how to operate in white British business. Once you get in - no network - no tools.
I think black men with a black/mixed wife is a minority in the UK. Something like 55/45. The women ain't far behind. It's messed up. People in the US talk about black male celebs and sports stars with white women. You ain't seen nothing like the UK. Leading politicians, football stars, musicians, sports stars - inter racial marriages. I'm not against it btw in theory but it speaks to where Black prior in Britain are mentally. fukking lost.
You know 95% of black people with European surnames are descendants of slaves right? Jamaicans, Hatians, Bajans, Sierra Leone folk etc. All come from slavery.
And the rest of us no matter name are 99% likely to have had a European nation colonise us and poison our mindset.
GOSPEL.
GOSPEL.
Any British Black person who says they don't envy the way the US Black Diaspora operates is a liar. It isn't perfect but it's better than nothing, there is nothing here, nothing. People sold themselves out in order to c00n it up and they still are, it didn't hit me till I tried to live here as a married man and realised the chances of me finding black professional couples like me was SLIM! Everyone i met had a white spouse.
It's only black people who have this set up though, Asians most certainly don't, there is no place for a black person in the UK who wants to live a middle class lifestyle around other middle class blacks, it just doesn't exist, and London is supposed to be the metropolitan city, if this is it I'm leaving...
You either have the old african immigrants who worked and left or just weren't serious tbh. Their kids are just lost in no mans land, if you are a succesful black person this system is built for you to c00n, even finding fellow professional black families is so hard.
Which means in turn even if you find a black wife, your kids will likely be c00ns and marry interracial anyway. It's just a mess of s system and they're all still so poor. Despite all their interracial dating, integration and c00ning they are still POOR and in a worse position than their American counterparts. It fukking sucks.
