When you look at all the bullshyt, the lives and futures ruined to us by the dominant and other groups…I’m drawing blanks on as to why recently some brehs have decided to turn up on people from African countries and the islanders?

Did I miss something? What gives?
They Came to America and made something out of nothing while those born here made sat back and let it happen and then get mad..

If we keeping it 500

Don’t like how some black immigrants unwillingly align with white supremacy through bootstrap talk and a general disregard for racism. A lot of these nikkas be SCARY when it comes to speaking up on white folk and that rubs me the wrong way.

Yeah sure capitalism is the root of a lot of internalized issues but that doesn’t excuse the self hate rhetoric I sometimes see being spewed in certain spaces.


it makes me question who actually are my allies.

The older generation of Black immigrants can be :mjpls: at times due to either preconceived notions or negative experiences but, overall, the issue has gotten blown up online by hateful trolls on both sides.

Generally speaking, though, Black immigrants are pretty cool and only focused on eeking out a living and making enough money to support themselves. More than you think have Pan-African or pro-Black views as well.

A Haitian woman who's a friend of mines made me soup joumou for News Years, a Ghanaian man helped me get my first job in accounting, and I grew up befriending and dating many non-AA's(almost married one too), and I know a number that have moved to AADOS-heavy Southern places like Atlanta, Charlotte, and Houston and praised those places over NYC.

There's plenty of good relations between us that gets ignored or downplayed. It's just that, when certain ones voice their prejudiced views about us, it stings because you'd think they know better given their racial background.

What do you define as bootstrap talk?

And what of the dozens of blk american coli posters who believe in it?

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 :mjlol:

Lame ass nikka, As a black man and American citizen, I can speak on any black or American issues I choose.

Insecurity.

Many of the stereotypes—-more disciplined, more focused an academics, better family structure, etc—-are indeed true (obviously not 100%). And that’s a hard pill to swallow.

So when people see that of course they gon lash out

Black immigrants said american blacks are spoiled and lazy.
I think the biggest white elephant in the room (no pun intended) :mjpls::mjpls:....is where did that narrative come from? There is a puppet master pulling all kinda of strings and at the end of the day you have all black people mad at each other for what someone else :mjpls: put put there.

The coli armchair militants only co-sign something when it benefits them.

They will call south africans xenophobic because they read some poorly written sensationalist article about Nigerians being beaten or killed, not knowing that those "xenophobic" situations are locals fighting against drug rings and human trafficking crimes perpetuated by foreigners. Also some of those foreigners enter the country illegally and look down on the locals calling them lazy and unproductive....the same shyt yall are complaining about with regards to "tethers". But its only permissible when its ADOS being affected.

Based on comments here you'd swear random immigrants are getting kidnapped at random just off the strength of not being a citizen.

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
Black Americans looked down on Africans long before Africans had negative perceptions about black Americans.

You guys act like Africans came to America and tried to enslave black America, when it has only been the opposite (Liberia)

You guys act like it’s common for a black Americans to get robbed or killed by an African, when the opposite is true.

The only thing Africans in America did to receive this vitriol was succeed in America and take “success” that was supposed to be reserved for a Black American. These discussions weren’t happening when we were refugees and cab drivers, only when we started to succeed tremendously years later in America

Some internet ass muhfukkas made up acronyms and talking bout movie roles, who started Hip Hop and other bullshyt... this somehow has something to do with reparations :dahell:


Now you got muhfukkas in Eastaboga Alabama who never met a Black Immigrant in their life scouring the internet for every podcast snippet on youtube or tiktok of people they never seen before to drive the message :mjlol:


Oh yeah, they gon talk about it on Clubhouse and Twitter Spaces too :dead:

....black americans only feel negative towards africans they feel are prejudiced by stereotypes against blacks...

black people arent jealous of african success or anything like that

from what I remember as a kid, is looking at africans as "weird" culturally.. or goofy jokes like "African booty scratcher"..

the main issue in current times is africans looking at "akatas" as lazy and ghetto.. and black people resenting it...

the whole "I became successful in America, so the problems blacks speak about really stems from them being lazy"

nobody mad about success... it's the belittling that people think is going on...

I've had nothing but positive experiences with africans... so I don't think this way at all..
