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

[IVS]

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

LMFAO! HILARITY. The lies people tell themselves.

 

[KamikazePilot]

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

Speak on whatever but you’ll never be Ethnically Black American our history nor culture will never be yours.

Why don’t you celebrate being Kenyan American are you ashamed of your Kenyan roots or Kenyan culture or lack there of?

 

[FluffyEyes]

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

Ewwwww. The fact that someone would think "one of the good ones" is a compliment at any capacity is crazy. Backhanded and showing how they really feel about a group consisting of millions of ppl.

As far as this thread is concerned it's pointless subject. African and Caribbean folks like to dismiss that a portion of them do look down in Black Americans and Black Americans will not admit that some of us carry a certain amount of xenophobia.

 

[LiveFromLondon]

Natives always look down on immigrants

Everybody does it in some form...
That might not be the exact phrase used...

For example it is thought by some that all Jamaican guys are street guys, cheaters, violent, dunce etc etc negatives

MANY are

for example I was talking to a wite guy once
he said "you know ______, we go on holidays every month skiing and safaris"?


he was referring to the Jamaican folks he knows who are upper middle class world travellers

in his mind all Jamaicans were nice and wonderful people

stereotypes and experiences

so if an African mother or any mother had a stereotype and was proven wrong
is that not a good thing?
did you not break a stereotype?

 

[Mashal88]

I don't worry about c00ns or people who selectively care about the condition of black people globally. They're annoying but hey. What I've learned over the years is: you can't save everyone. So the youth I work with, relationships I form, they matter more than randoms who are allegedly saying or doing whatever.

I'm not accepting of non Black Americans, regardless of race, giving me backhanded compliments. You want to compliment my accomplishments DO THAT. Don't try to tokenize me and stereotype my ppl. And definitely don't spend time crying about being called an African Booty scratcher in school but then pretend calling all or most Black Americans lazy is not ALSO a horrible stereotype and insult.

Do you not have wite people you consider different from most other wite people?
they might be a friend, from school or work

if you said that wite person is "a good one" vs what you consider the majority racist
is that a bad thing?

I am pointing out that WE ALL have stereotypes
that breaks the more knowledge and experience we get

yes a person should be knowledgeable on all things and not discriminate or stereotype in ignorance
that is not how the world works

YOU have things you think you know

for example how can a person call you lazy if you more accomplished than them?

and could be the person is correct?
could you really be lazy
we talking about YOU not blk americans
if you are a lazy person then why complain?

Being anti black is ingrained in African culture. Being anti African is not ingrained in ours.

Any conversation not starting there is pointless bull shyt. They have slurs for us and we’re on a whole other continent we don’t have slurs for them. The whole continent of Africa is stuck in tribal beefs like it’s 800yrs ago give me a break this is not a “both sides” situation. We literally made it legal for them to come to this country we didn’t realize how many are against us in their tribal culture.

 

[tuckgod]

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

I called 1000 nikkas an African booty scratcher in elementary school and not one of them was an actual African.

We didn’t know no damn Africans until 10 years ago.

You speaking for blk americans or just west virginians?

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Its both sides from my experience

that's it nothing else to see here

some people feed into it some don't

others claim it's one way others claim it's another. a tired pointless waste of time.

best to side step it like we do any other shyt. anyone that wants to smear the feces all over themselves can go ahead.

@RickyDiBiase

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????

i created that thread. see below

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.

let's stop with the victimhood and admit that they're are bad on both sides. It's not like when black immigrants came most AAs greeted them with open arms or were even welcoming. The booty-scratching jokes, coconuts, Haitian jokes didn't just stop at jokes and talking shyt. A lot of black immigrants were getting bullied, robbed, jumped etc by African Americans in 80's and 90's.

Also, most of this stem from the type of areas most immigrants were moving into when they just arrive. most were moving into some of the worst hoods in the country and a lot of their first impression of AA's came from those people and not middle-class and more educated AA's.

 

[VoxSphere74]

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

I think that's where some of the anti-Black American sentiment comes from. The problem is that native Black Americans succeed as well but they know how the US is and know it's an open air prison where cacs will always destroy whatever Black people create.

Black immigrants though don't know that. They really do think the streets are paved with gold.

By the 2nd generation though many of them figure it out and realize that it was a mistake to come here to begin with.

They didn’t feel the need to learn anything about black culture because they feel they are above it so when they hear an elementary school kid make a joke they think it’s a personal attack on their ethnicity meanwhile they think actual slurs about black American ethnicity is normal and we’re tripping for saying something about grown adults using it in our country that we made legal for them to come here.
