What exactly did Black Immigrants do that caused so much Vitriol online?

[kaldurahm]

Usually, in real life, bickering between black Americans and African immigrants would some isolated incidents (Africans holding stereotypes against ADOS as being lazy, violent, rude, jealous, etc., ADOS holding stereotypes against Africans as being backwards, undeveloped, weird, silly, submissive towards whites)

But again, this was mostly isolated incidents. Most interactions were fine.

Then suddenly in the last few years, it became this big topic online, that was made worse by online losers deciding to take the bait so they could get a power trip (etc. "Africans are smarter and better than you, youre slaves!" Or "all you africans are c00ns" with some stereotypical exagerrated african names or jokes) instead of downvoting and reporting the content.

The reality is that most ADOS and most Africans don't really have any strong feelings against each other. Some adults may hold some stereotypes, but only few of them hold them strongly. For most it's not even a common subject that gets brought up.

But the issue is that the strongest vocal minority always has to project their feelings, and people who respond to it feel the need to defend their side, thus amplifying this divide.

This. Online is weird cause I never have no problems with any black people offline, whether they're ADOS, Caribbean, other Africans. Honestly, probably worst interactions I've had were with some black women(regardless if they're afro, Caribbean etc..); likely women that either have poor experiences or hate men , but even this has been a very small minority of black women I've interacted with throughout my life. Never had no problems with any brothers throughout my entire adulthood whether they're ADOS, Caribbean, or African.

I hit a Caribbean brother's car over the summer and the dude allowed me still. In my university we all got along. So to me, it's an internet thing, though I have heard some Africans talk down but we usually call them out on their ignorance.

As a poster said earlier, it's very similar to Light skin vs Dark Skin beef you see so much online, but in real life that shyt don't even exist.

Sir I stopped the video when she said "I am born n bred African"

an immigrant will tell you the FIRST thing is the persons accent
how strong it is

that woman does not speak with ANY sort of "born and bred" african accent
she does not speak it in her household
she does not speak it with her friends

if a person speaks for example patois
most jamaican people do not say "the" and use the "T"
then the "h" is also what you watch out for
for example Dj Akademiks does not have those issues
cause he does not speak patois

wrong example you used

so you are saying your argument only applies to 1st generation immigrants?

If I had to say from my own experience the only real dislike I have against African and Caribbean immigrants is when they come here and they adopt our culture and our history and act like it’s their history.

They speak about Our behalf and act like they are us and speak for us but their not us and I hate when they do Anti-Black American shyt in the name of being Black American when they’re not.

When they cosplay that our historical figures are theirs, when they try to take credit for our culture and our achievements. The whole cosplaying shyt is really the worst.

Look at this unhinged paranoia

Replace "African and Caribbean" with Jews and the above post could have been written by a Nazi.

But then again, the dyke godmother of these lames was working for a Nazi front group.


Pathetic hateful losers. Do something to improve your lot in life. I promise you you wont' be so hateful.

Lame ass nikka, worry about improving your lot in life and that of your family and Im promise you, you won’t be filled with such blind faith hatred.

Not hate but love for my FBA/ADOS people.

I'm not into disporia wars at all and never knew anything about it before the coli, but there's countless shyt Africans spew about us.I was cool with a couple Africans at my school, one even said you're one of the good ones.


And did you see that thread where the African woman was call us slaves????

 

[Duke Wy Lin]

This whole debate is petty. Black immigrants aren't sizable enough demographically to impact US politics. Plus they don't even vote as one block. Can't lump Jamaicans, Nigerians and Haitians into just one big group.

This shyt was clearly coordinated the way it popped off right around election time and quickly died off thereafter.

Im let this stew before I hop in here

 

[desjardins]

It's always been contention
Back in the day it was "african booty scratcher" and "hbo" jokes
calling someone african was literally an insult that would have nikkas on the verge of crying growing up so i'm not going pretend the rift is something recent
the other side called us lazy and whatever cultural n-word they have for us
it is what it is, just keep it respectful and don't expose shyt to mixed company

 

[Duke Wy Lin]

pretty sure it started with immigrants looking down on black Americans...

the negative stereotypes of blacks in America is definitely perpetuated in immigrant communities

that was the spark..

then angry nikkas online just fueled the back and forth from both sides

This is a valid point, but in the grand scheme of things it means little. Black immigrants are an insignificant minority and don't have much pull politically. Those who are in politics (think Ilhan Omar etc) ride the coattails of liberals and don't present an agenda that's exclusive to their communities. They can't because they are not a big enough voting block. At least not in terms of national politics. Local politics is different.

Plus the US severely restricts the number of black immigrants who are allowed in the country. Unlike, say, Asian migrants.

so you are saying your argument only applies to 1st generation immigrants?

This is where it gets tricky.
You can have a 2nd or 3rd generation immigrant speak as if they just came off the plane.

It is very very rare for a person to move from one accent to another perfectly
so if a 2nd or 3rd generation immigrant speaks with the accent/language frequently
you will hear it
and that means they have friends, family that speak as such to on a regular

same way if you hang with a bunch of mexicans, africans, caribbean people
you wil EVENTUALLY sound like them or use words they use

if a person says they "born n bred" and have no accent whatsoever
maybe you have to question if they really are

 

[Mac Ten]

Some of them come here believing that propaganda about Black Americans in the media and believing that those cacs aren't evil.


They don't realize that they don't respect turncoats until its too late. Now they are alienated by Black Americans and Cacs.



That's why u don't judge a book by it's cover.


Blacks folks are very easygoing to get along with along with until you cross that line.

You’re Kenyan with your own Kenyan history and heritage and culture I would never go to Kenya and act like your Culture is mine and I would never act like you Ancestors were mine and I would never get into your politics and act like I speak for Kenyans.

But when we ask that y’all don’t cosplay as us and you embrace your own history and culture and speaks for yourselves we get called Nazi’s

why do you think you were called one of the good ones?

for example I have been around African families, who can be a bit stereotypical and judgemental to others

usually when they hear me speak and what I speak about they change their mindset
am I one of the good ones?

The same reason why white people say you're one of the good ones.
