The Grapevine: Africans, AA's and Caribbeans

[Poitier]

When somebody finally asks: What's the difference between African immigrants and similarly credentialed African Americans?

It's gonna be some Cirque Du Soleil level mental gymnastics used to try and justify the preferential treatment

Yeah, I find it odd folks pretend there aren't tons of accomplished AA students or educated AA professionals...

 

[3rdWorld]

I never knew Africans and African Americans that didn't actually get along given time.
Its those thatve never interacted on that bullshyt

Because foreigner blacks eventually assimilate and eventually breed out their ethincity if they inter-marry into the greater American population...

my point is how do they assimilate into the larger "black-afram" population if aframs despised their appropriation of afram culture(s)/latching on to afram movements? The answer is simply that aframs saw/see them as fellow blacks and welcomed them in with open arms.

Lol @ anyone implying AA's are xenophobic when the system we've been indoctrinated under the last 400 years basically prevented this on any serious level.

Lol i stated AAs arent in the position to be xenophobic to black immigrants and even if they were black immigrants are such a small number it wouldnt yield any tangible results that would be impactful to AA life in general and dudes wanted to debate.

 

[K.O.N.Y]

Why are you so obsessed.

I'm mixed... Second while @CashmereEsquire does say some dumbass shyt he's my Mande brother...

And lastly I proved myself to #AAGang with my many contributions.

He is talking the system of race.

You were arguing that AAs didn't have the agency to attack immigrants.

Not the same bro.

Thanks for saving me a wordy response lol

But yeah, @CashmereEsquire I think that's where some of the confusion may be from.

black immigrants are numerous in the North East. Afram's simply are a welcoming people to fellow, foreign blacks

Stop What. lol your Post doesn't debunk anything I stated.

it's easy because aframs make it easy. If aframs were hostile towards black immigrants it wouldn't be easy for obvious reasons

I agree. There are examples such as Haitians where there was real hostilities.
