I dont see ethnic division anywhere but in the bizarro world known as the internet.
I see blacks from all ethnic groups c00ning so its pretty hilarious when people want to act like its limited to one group and their ethnic group doesnt do it.
Nigeria is referred to as Nigeria not a shythole. We don't all speak trumpset English
That moafukka said that y'all would not want to go and live back in y'all huts in Nigeria once y'all had been to America. Trump said Haitians have AIDS, Nigerians live in huts in meeting, according to new NYT report
So what is all of this bragging about when we are all on the bottom.
I've heard foreign Blacks shyt on their own countries and bigging up America. Cats got inferiority complexes and don't even know it. No wonder cacs think their countries are the best, everybody wanna live and work in them. It's like if everybody in your hood wanted to party at your house, you would think your spot was the best right?
If you begging a man then you are saying that you are subservient to that man. So if you begging that White man then that is what it is. Bragging about doing well in his Country, while he calls your Country a shythole is just silly.

You know that you hear it in real life. Maybe you are different though and see shyt for what it is, but we both know that the shyt exists right here in the USA.
This article seems to show a little more detail.

African Immigrants Among the Most Educated, but Also Among The Poorest Immigrants in US

It is of common knowledge in the field of economics and sociology that a higher level of education leads to good labor market outcomes, higher wages, and consequently, a better standard of living. However, the case of foreign-born from Africa defies such principle.
According to studies produced in the past 20 years, including recent ones from the American Community Survey, African immigrants have demonstrated remarkable educational attainment. Nearly 65% of African immigrants have one or more years of college education, more than any other ethnic group in the U.S., except Asian immigrants. Despite such outstanding educational attainment, studies have also shown that African immigrants are poorer than the average; 20% of African immigrants live below the poverty line and 41% live below 200% of the poverty line, suggesting that 61% of African immigrants live below the poverty line.
The condition of African immigrants as depicted by studies is as much troubling, as it requires a particular attention. In fact, there are various elements that can explain African immigrants’ poor social conditions despite their exceptional educational attainment, one of them being the existing social structure and issues in the U.S. As an individual process, assimilation in the U.S. is also affected by racism and its related economic and social consequences. Since some Black-Americans are still experiencing some sort of racial discrimination in the United States, it is most likely that Black immigrants from Africa directly or indirectly face the same racial discrimination on the basis of academic credentials, earnings, and access to job in the public sector and employment in general.
In addition, the issue of language barrier is another aspect holding back educated African immigrants from non-English-speaking countries who struggle to be competitive in the job market. Since statistics take into consideration educational attainment achieved abroad, specifically from Africa, the issue of African academic credentials consideration comes into play. Studies have confirmed that because academic degrees acquired in Africa are not respected and considered in the U.S., their holders either decide to take low income jobs than their educational qualification deserves, or they simply stay idle depending on limited government assistance.
Lastly, remittance is another element that needs to be taken into consideration as we attempt to understand African immigrants’ financial struggle. This consists of evaluating the equilibrium between African immigrants’ earnings, their family related spending, their potential disposable income, and the portion of income they have to send back home to assist their families. From 2000 to 2008, remittances to Africa have increased from $11.2 billion to $40.8 billion. In 2009, workers’ remittances to Africa went down to $38.1 billion following the recession in advanced economies, which led to job losses, income cuts, and change in spending of which many U.S. and foreign-born Blacks were victims.
No matter how we can examine the case of African immigrants social condition in the U.S., there is a pressing need for Africans to realize challenges that integration poses to their well-being in the host country and begin to learn to be reactive, to network, and to be innovative by creating new lucrative activities that will enable them to provide jobs for themselves and other Africans. In order to overcome this challenge, the ability for African immigrants to effectively exploit and manage national and ethnic diversity, while transcending political, ideological, and ethnic divides inherited back home becomes an indispensable prerequisite.

I am talking about how we are viewed. Some nikkas are just ignorant. You can't do shyt about that. I am looking forward and asking how do we use all of this shyt to improve our situation?

which is it

we congratulating. and YOU are hating.
I don't give a fukk what trump says i'm more concerned that you are echoing his sentiments... repeatedly like you would rather Africans hold on to the negative sentiments against them than take pride in their positive achievements.
Congratulations on your success. Now what the fukk is being done to improve our situation?
What the fukk sentiments am I echoing? I am an African whose ancestors were deported the Americas hundreds of years ago. I will never stop being an African. I don't brag about stupid shyt when I am on the bottom.
I’m Ghanaian and I’m happy for them but let’s stop with the dikk sucking. Both our countries are shytholes and we had to run to a white man’s country not just to make it but also work for him. And I include myself in that.
Also how many of these “successful” individuals are running their own businesses and not just working 9-5?
I don’t judge success based on how many PhDs some individuals have but your economic independence from white supremacy. I know it’s baby steps but let’s try and keep some perspective here.

Cool
"More AAs need that hustle mentality"
Don't fall for the imported horse race rabbits, we been doing that and made it possible for them to come here in the first place, goofy.
We don't have the ability to self-select an educated group of people from another country, we were born here and have been here since before "here" was a thing.
2nd generation performance drop + 3rd generation blending kinda deads the reason for praise anyway, and shows it has nothing to do with the group and everything to do with certain windows of opportunity and built-in financial exchanges we're not allowed to have...nor could we feasibly create, seeing as though we're the only part of the diaspora not spread out across earth.
Everybody cheats but the "Gusto having, get it off the muscle, forget you did it, and shyt on yourself for not being a scammer" -AA.
For every positive, there is an equal negative helping it out.
You talk as if the next generation suddenly turns into your typical underachieving hood dude from the BX. I haven't seen any examples like that in real life.
Black people leave America all the time. They have been moving to Ghana in record numbers. Hell I made contacts myself in Sierra Leone and I am trying to secure the proper funding to develop a business with a Sierra Leonean that I met there. It was quite the eye opening experience to see the opportunities that exist in Sierra Leone and Guinea, which was huge for an African American like myself.
I'm not Nigerian dumbass. I recognize their work ethic and hustle though. They deserve all the success they get it's not stupid because you don't appreciate it... Education is key and fundamental to building advanced societies. I'm not here to speak on your situation and I don't understand why parallels always have to be drawn like it's a competition. Just give them props and keep it moving.
