Yeah, but only as employees...black people across the diaspora still languish from a lack of serious entrepreneurship.
The dumbass is you. You assume I am putting them down. I am not. I want to know how do we utilize all of this shyt to stop being the bottom bytch? The shyt that you are pushing is some more of that tokenism shyt. fukk a token. I am talking about Black people as a whole. How do we improve our situation? We have degrees now how do we build relationships to stop being the bottom bytch?
For one start by acknowledging the achievements of others and not reducing them to tokenism. tokenism didn't make those Nigerian doctors, neither did begging cacs... hard work did.
If you really want to build relationships let's start at MUTUAL RESPECT. Just the basics.
As an African I would love to see Black people working together on the continent on business and building wealth and alliances but that won't happen while brehs got a chip on their shoulder. The world doesn't owe anyone shyt

Well that's odd... I thought the coli said they are successful because they are elite and come from money...
which is it
You are disingenuous and intellectually dishonest.
The model minority and respectability politics have never worked for blacks.

all of this! Man I earned my bachelor, master degree. Worked my way up to upwards of my age group very very early in my career because of my family upbringing but ultimately know that means nothing when you are living off of someone else's economic system. I've always told my brothers working in a very skill orientated to look for outside work beside from their workplace. You need to get used to working on your own and taking the risk of opportunity. You will not mobilize upwards at the hands of someone else and find the reason for why you want more. Items should not be your first desire.
My current idea of success is seeing how many of our people we can help and bring them opportunities which they currently do not have.
I actually feel sorry for many of our people working in these positions, 90% of the time they are more skilled than their co-worker counterparts.
False, there are many black entrepreneurship in every field you could think of beside monopoly-oligopoly. What we lack is relation with distributors and production of our own products.
China holds America by the neck while greedy Chinese leaders just like African leaders are willing to maximize their profits off of the backs of their people without fair distribution for folks to have the option to move upwards.

Exactly. African communities in the west are still dominated by non African businesses just like AA communities. What’s the point of all this “success” if your neighbourhood is full of Arab and Indian shops?
You are the one pushing that stupid tokenism. You just don't realize it. It is all part of a bullshyt system to reduce us to fighting for bread crumbs rather than a loaf of bread.
Congratulations on their success. Now how do we utilize that shyt to stop being the bottom bytch all around the World?
I have no idea what you are talking about. My response pertains to the conversations in this thread in response to the OP post. Other posters said we are looking only at an elite population of over achievers that come from wealth yet the stats say most of the same immigrants are poor...
model minority shyt is for asians. despite everything nigerians do they are still regarded scammers and frauds so what are you talking about exactly
nikkas need to use that chip on their shoulders to drive their own economics. They don't want us. They just use us. How do we use all of this shyt to build up our own?
Depends who they is... I tell y'all Africans stay on some tribal shyt, y'all mistake some name calling for real friction. Ain't no Africans using you or stopping you from building your own shyt up. Nikkaz will call each other names and still get to work. I though AA brehs said they can handle snapping on each other yet reading one Akata comment online and brehs figure it's some real animosity. Money talks above everything. In reality the real animosity Africans have is towards each other not y'all. If you are in Africa working doing ya thing you are insulated from tribal politics first and foremost, you actually have more range.
Nigerians beef hard in their own country and come over to the west and find unity towards a common goal, education and money. That's just how it is... Ain't no red carpets being rolled out and no welcome parties you either work with your brothers or continue to look at them as competition. Those are individual choices.

They have a good work ethic. My ex side chick was a Nigerian and I loved her independence
. I had to cut her off or I woulda fukked up my fam.
immigrants coming over here left and right putting in work, starting landscaping companies, construction, etc to feed their families back home. Immigrants tend to work harder than Americans in general, not just AAs. As a whole, Americans are lazy as fukk. But I'm wrong for encouraging more of my people to develop that "go and get it by any means" mentality? 
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.

good discussion.
i wonder what the ethnic breakdown of the nigerian american population is? it's probably something like 70% igbo, 20% yoruba, 10% other?
