Who is "us"?
I always fight for the entire Black diaspora, not for any clique within it. Someone can disqualify themselves from my concern by their own actions, but I'm never gonna stop caring about someone or being willing to fight alongside them because of the country of their birth.
I don't give a shyt about the foolish man quoted in the OP. I'm only calling out posters who are using him to attack every Black immigrant when we should be realizing our solidarity in the struggle with everyone who is willing to fight for the cause of Black folk.
I get the idea of calling out injustice wherever you see it being placed. And I'm not going to hold anything hostage to my anecdotal experiences. Its just something I've noticed through the years now
Its only foundational who are willing to step in front of the bullet quite often. Seldom do I see people defend us with the same fervor
Its not really a matter of ethics, but a matter of code. Other groups realize this and act accordingly
In the west, continentals are fairly new to the pop cultural conscious. Especially as it pertains to black American socio-cultural spaces
I would say about maybe 6-8 years at best
And within that allotted time period. They have accrued an immense amount of c00ning(nigerians especially). Its just an observation to be wary of. Not some emotional ill based hatred
