thank you for that lecture that we all got in middle school, but that didn't really negate my point.

here are some questions that will no doubt send you into a blind rage, but I'm asking out of sheer curiosity:

1) do nigerians typically covet name brand tennis shoes over their basic necessities?

2) same question for designer clothes

3) are nigerians flippant about their children's educations but want them to excel on the court/football/soccer fields?

let's just start with these three things. again, we're talking about wealth building, success and cultural attitudes.

and no, it's ignorant to argue that people that have been here for generations are being surpassed by africans that have been here for a decade, is all solely due to the all powerful and omniscient white man

who somehow magically can't seem to keep actual AFRICANS down, only african americans. :stopitslime:


Based on your research, how will Blacks build wealth if they stopped coveting name-brand clothing?
:jbhmm:

what AA consider bad is considered good for an immigrant that makes it over here so they have the perseverance to succeed in spite of....also they aren't dominated by white supremacy ideology the way we are mentally growing up. People underestimate how powerful the individual perspective is. Personally speaking, my life dramatically changed when I recognized mines was wrong and worked on changing it. Literally a 180.

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.
Tracy towers. IN THE BX. All those African bloods who can barely speak English?
Or the Harlem Africans selling fake LV and Gucci x lil jars of tree?
What about the cab drivers who stay cab drivers and have kids who stay in the building, and never leave? I've seen all this personally.
"Typical hood dude" includes West Africans now and has for nearly 20 years.

Lol these dudes playing dumb. You good Hood ass immigrants in every place with large black populations cause often times theres are the young immigrants or children of immigrants who were poor in their home countries and came into America and placed in the same poverty AAs (AA's that live in Poverty) are in.

You got Haitians,Jamaicans, Liberians, Ethiopians, etc. etc. in the same hoods as AAs. Nigerians are often the edge case because larger numbers of them come to America for school or work visa's while this isn't the case for the other groups who may luck up and get a visitor visa and never go back to their countries, or they came on refugee status.

Nigerians do make up the mass% of African immigrants so maybe thats where the whole "African Immigrants were elite in their homelands" talk comes from, but every non Nigerian Black Immigrant I ever knew came from the trenches. Most of these "elite" African immigrants people talk about are Nigerians who came in the 70s & 80s.

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? :mjlol:
We do "Go and get it by any means" or we wouldn't be here.
White people already did this with Jamaicans until they had no further use for their educated and criminal classes.
@Retired Nigerians tend to not be poor.
Somalis, Liberians, etc...do.
Unlike Canada, it's not a few tiny pockets of black people spread through 2 major cities.
It's about a million foreign blacks moving RIGHT UP NEXT TO black americans who were already here, already doing whatever these folks are getting praise for.
These articles are just like the articles about jamaicans they used to write before they got ejected and/or forced to lean back as a group in the US.
"So hard working". But..."posses..."
Coming from the same cacs who didn't pay nikkas for building the shyt.
Let cacs hype y'all up instead of worrying about hyping up your home countries instead of hopping in the video to hustle.

Even in engineering, I encountered a lot of West Africans. I was the only AA-DOS in my science based courses.

But we know the reason as to why this is the case.


Yeah they dominated my engineering classes too. And they didn't have a cheating culture like a lit of Indians had either

Yeah. Nigerians are a special case because they are the only Non Refugees you really see immigrating like that to America who had status in their home countries. In West Africa Nigerians known for scamming cats lol so this model minority stuff is pretty hilarious, like I said I think that stems from the wave of them who came to the US in like the 70s & 80s for school and such. Most the Africans you see that came into the US in the late 80s and 90s are refugees who are usually more grounded since they literally just escaped some kinda conflict, and they are trying to get it by any means.

At most you may see immigrants who are ignorant to the history of AAs when it comes to the post slavery systematic stuff that happens (there are even AAs who try to act like post slavery everything became "fair and even" and any AA who did not succeed didnt because they were "lazy"), but the walking around with their noses tooted in the air is only something I've seen Nigerians do.

Yeah, only people who think Asians are "smart" are people who don't actually work in these technical fields lol. All these folks are normal ass hell and there are many cases of Asians getting by on the stereotype that they are insanely smart. Hell I don't blame em at this point if people pretty much always assume you know what you are talking about.

I'm not hype of no cacs. Most Kenyans got to the U.K. and U.S.A. I'm in the minority here but it does not mean I'm unaware of how Africans move in the states. I see how Nigerians move and I respect it. No one needs a cac article to tell us what we already know. They some hustlers. I dunno bout Nigeria but a lot of Kenyans have gone back with their education and ideas... invested in themselves and the country.

Just cuz we had to leave home to get an education and some money doesn't mean that everyone wants to escape for good. Also a lot of these opportunities couldn't have been had from where we were at. So I can't not celebrate them? just as I celebrate y'all accomplishments? It's absurd for nikkaz to say they went begging cacs. Thats just flat out hate. Especially when we all know Nigerians get it regardless of wether or not they got the green card :mjlol:

As far as people feeling like this is being held up to compare to AA's that's entirely fabricated. If anything it is a comparison against other immigrants. All those alternative narratives are being formulated by coli users with their own biases and agendas.

There's like weekly posts on here about a Nigerian saying some c00n shyt on twitter doing numbers but this is somehow upsetting and divisive. I'm not buying it.

Flat out calling Nigerians a model minority is a major boost.

Next thread we gonna be talking about how they are arrogant as hell :dead:

save that model minority shyt for Indian and Chinese brehs... no hate.

When ever I see AAs talking about these "elite" arrogant Africans they are 98% of the times talking about Nigerians. Amongst actual Africans Nigerians are known as scammers lol. From % stand up Nigerian Immigrants make up the bulk of Africans who are allowed to come to the US which is already a tiny number (compared to other places where a Country like Mexico alone gets more visas than the entire African Continent).

Nigerians arent used as the official model, but they are used to play Blacks against each other. Where whites will be on some "Tyrone, Why can't you be more like Tunde :troll:"
