First became aware of this from Thomas Sowell

Culture matters:francis:
Culture is by and large not the major factor.
See my response below.
If only “Boule” and second/third generation middle-upper-middle class AAs were to immigrate to Brazil, they’d outdo the Afro-Brazilian population, just because they already have culture capital (and literal capital) to help them out.

Don't be dumb. WHY ARE THEY MORE SUCCESSFUL OVER INDIANS, CHINESE, AND OTHER GROUP?

This is a win for all black folk. Don't try and downplay it by just saying its population numbers.
In terms of income, they’re still not quite at Indian-American levels, but they’re close, and facing more racism.
Population numbers play a roll, in conjunction with US immigration policy.
The average Nigerian moving to the US, is wealthier, more educated, and more stable, than the average Nigerian in Nigeria, or AA in the US.
It’s largely the privileged classes of Nigerians that are coming to the US, and there are quite a few of them.

How about the UK tho. They do the same here and it's not wealthy/educated Nigerians immigrating. Many of them are starting from the bottom like everyone else.

The elite Nigerians go to private schools here and are behind Chinese and Indians in Uni enrolment. The stats I posted earlier are from average state schools of British Nigerians.

Having said that, im not entirely convinced that Nigerians have a great culture overall. If they did, Nigeria would be a great, and powerful nation
This is not due to our culture but due to history, man look what black country that has been ravaged by colonialism turned out great?

we still fighting a losing battle on this side

I am comparing them purely to other immigrant groups. Not AA or White Americans. It says they are more successful period. If the income is less than other groups then that says all we need to know about racism that black folk face when trying to find work

just saying any individual that is highly educated has a better chance of succeeding

this is true for all groups

i don't like how they always try & put everyone's best forward as the example but when it comes to aa's they try and put the spotlight in the gutter


then that same false.representation has folks immigrating here thinking & moving bigoted like:mjpls:

it's bs division tactics

That's what I'm saying, Indian-Americans have higher education rates than Nigerian-Americans, though that's likely going to change in the next generation, depending on how Trump affects immigration policy, and how different areas of the US fund their public education system.

Both India and Nigeria are surging economically, but w/ population booms and failure of higher education systems to accompany, you'll likely find an increase.

Nigerians have the same average iq as aa dos. According to the data, they’re the only Blacks on the planet that are AS SMART AS AADOS

Having said that, im not entirely convinced that Nigerians have a great culture overall. If they did, Nigeria would be a great, and powerful nation


This needs to said again

There's a reason for this. Africans treat getting degrees like competition. Whenever we have reunions with family members, the first question our aunties and uncles ask of us is "are you finished with your engineering degree?" "did you get into medial school yet?" or "are you finished with your PhD in nursing?"

My entire family and intermediate for example are all doctors, nurses, lawyers, and civil engineers. I have one cousin that decided to switch to business his junior year and his parents were ashamed to tell us until much later when he finally proved to them he was making it once he got a solid job making $70k only 2 years out of college at age 25. Meanwhile his older brother is 28 as a cardiology resident only making $50k and he's stuck in his program for 4 more years before he makes the big bucks.

I see that here in Maryland in the DC area. Most black people who live on the west side of the beltway in Montgomery County, MD, NW DC and Northern Virginia ain't the descendants of slaves but they are recent African immigrants. :jbhmm:These are the only "black people" who aren't opposed to living amongst cacs in MoCo and NoVa alongside Carlton Banks types and weird often emotionally damaged transracial adoptees who were raised by white people since infancy. :merchant:That's because white people are hardcore passive aggressive racist towards black people in the DC area. Race relations haven't really been repaired since the riots of the 60's generations ago. White people and black people in the DC area aren't on speaking terms like two roommates beefing. :pacspit:

I've noticed wypipo are painting African immigrants as the new model minority. I've heard cacs say how they love how Africans "speak proper" and "don't have a chip on their shoulder". Truth be told, African immigrants got more in common with Asian immigrants than African immigrants have in common with black people. :martin:Both African and Asian immigrants can't come to America unless they have money and or education and resources already. The only exceptions for both African and Asian immigrants are war refugees who often turn out being stuck in a cycle of poverty and sometimes being ghetto and violent in both cases (i.e. Liberians, Cambodians) assimilating to the worst of their surroundings. And both Asians and Africans who immigrate here with money tend to actively look down on black people in the same fashion as cacs. :ufdup:
I think a lot move there because they are narcissists who see whites as the "best", so they want the best for their kids. It's not about wanting their kids to be smart, its about wanting to reign over others. Narcissism is big with the more money you have, and the more educated you become(school, not self taught), so its no surprise why moco is so immigrant high. It makes sense because the more you praise someone, the more the chances of them to become narcissistic. If a child hears how good they are in school, then they go to college, and hear their parents brag, then get a good job, this person will most likely think they are the best thing in the world. They don't even understand the concept of a simple, and peaceful life, all they know is more & more. Then "look at me" or "I'm not like that". It's no coincidence mental issues are high with this group!

It's the same with whites in dc. Once you study, and experience narcissism you will see it EVERYWHERE! The ignorant think its hardworking, culture, or whatever else when its nothing but narcissism. These people look happy, but their need to compete shows how unhappy they are, only people who live with them or close to them know the true demon behind the image they like to portray.

If you google narcissism, education, and wealth, you will see how closely connected these things are. I know for me I don't get a good feeling when I hear how much money or degrees someone has, I'm watching everything they do as these people are DEMONS behind closed doors. In general, not everyone. The opposite is true for people who taught themselves, and used their creativity to get money, they tend to be the most humble people around. I think its because they know what it means to fail, and rise, without a simple path to take, it makes them humble because they know at anytime your "image" can change.

The Link Between Narcissism And Wealth Is Becoming Clearer Than Ever
The Link Between Narcissism And Wealth Is Becoming Clearer Than Ever

"Wealthier people, particularly those whose parents were highly educated, were significantly more likely to think they deserved more than others. Combined with the second test, Piff found that the higher people put themselves on the ladder, the higher their sense of entitlement."

Ph.D. students face significant mental health challenges

"According to their survey, 51% of respondents had experienced at least two symptoms of poor mental health in recent weeks, indicating psychological distress. Moreover, 32% reported at least four symptoms, indicating a risk for common psychiatric disorders, which was more than twice the prevalence among highly educated comparison groups. The most commonly reported symptoms included feeling under constant strain, being unhappy and depressed, losing sleep because of worry, and not being able to overcome difficulties or enjoy day-to-day activities."
