I have worked with a lot of people who have come from African countries, like Nigeria, or South Africa. Every one of them I’ve meet has been very nice, and very professional, and very appreciative of this country.

They think the blacks in this country are idiots, for not appreciating what they were born into.

“Someone needs to ask Rev Wright which chickens are coming home to roost.”

Probably Reverend Wright’s chickens. Is he one of those who urges resentment against businesses?

DING DING we have a winner

No wonder they are mad, Al and Jesse have told them it is impossible to get ahead.

HA! That no longer works now that there's an African-American in the White House. No more excuses.

....sounds like the Africans are working and thus have money...no doubt they were easy pickins’ for the street brothas from the Bronx....at first....that won’t last...remember the Korean store owners during the LA riots?...they took to the roof tops with rifles and walkie talkies....starting handling their own “security” concerns.

Nearly thirty years ago I was friends with a woman from Kenya (Lao tribe). She was a grad student and very bewildered by America and NYC. Once, driving up Amsterdam around 103St, we passed a group of ‘African Americans’ standing, beer-in-bag-in-hand outside a bodega. She shook her head and asked...”What did you do to these people?”

”What did you do to these people?”

I hope your answer was, "The Great Society."

A better question would be:

What have these people done to themselves?

But this is NYC; anyone daring to defend himself by force of arms will be arrested and prosecuted.

No, my answer was that I had not done anything to them.

I understood her incredulity to indicate that the behavior she saw in the black community was a polar opposite to what her particular black world has been. She could not imagine “people” so lost.

Well... this article certainly makes that clear.

In any group there are sub-groups. I don’t care if everyone was Black or White, someone would have bigger ears that others. Someone else would have a hair trait that was different. Someone else would be just a shade lighter than the others. Someone would have a different accent. And these differences would lead groups and alliances to form.

It’s just the human condition evidently.

It’s sad but true.

This is BS and not even a sliver of what’s really going down... trust me.

“Al and Jesse have told them it is impossible to get ahead. These darn immigrants are screwing up the story.”

No kidding. They even made one president!

“Those people, they don’t respect African people,” said Mr. Barrie, a Sierra Leone native who settled in the United States in 1998. “I pay my bills, I pay my taxes, they still ...”

Well, here's the problem right here. You work. You pay your bills. You pay your taxes. You live in an Obamabot neighborhood, where the entitlement mentality has taken control. Obama's going pay for everything and give everything away. How dare you come in and try to make your own way?

Here's my advice for Mohammed Barrie and the other West Africans, move to small or medium-sized American towns. You will be respected and welcomed with open arms.

And unlike many native “African-Americans”, they are paying taxes and working.

And its the human condition that minority subgroups resent their minority status.

Few are stupid enough to move into a black underclass area and open a business, let alone reside. This is the way anyone with anything is treated in the ghetto. If they were not Africans, they would have been tortured and shot by now.

I still haven’t meet an African who doesn’t think Africa is for blacks and blacks only! Like the Arabs, they kicked out the white people, and then followed them home.
