Hint & Fact: Most sub-Sahara Africans eagerly want to immigrate to America!!! They yearn for freedom, liberty, education and opportunity!!! Most of them have a completely different cultural background then native Black Americans. They are, religious, family centered, hard working dependable contibutors to society. And....they do not come here with their hands stuck out for “Obama” freebies!!! They want to make their own way in American society. Caribbean and Haitian Blacks generally fall into the same category as African immigrants!!!
They also yearn for a place where they can immerse themselves in the music of rap at any time they wish.
They come to be closer to Akon, who does not live in Africa./sarc
When I was in college and just entered the College of Engineering, we had a TA teaching a breakout class in Thermodynamics. He was from west Africa- don't remember which country. He wore a tie, dressed well, clean shaven. He was obviously very smart and certainly spoke well. One day, outside of class, the conversation led to him saying with a little disgust in his voice, "The American black is a disgrace to blacks".
That single statement change my world view. It never occurred to me to see America from the outside looking in, particularly as a black outsider.
