The BIG PROBLEM with African immigrants (at least the ones that I work with) is that they are HARD WORKERS and take the education of their children VERY SERIOUSLY...much more so than the local blacks, or even nearly all of the whites that I work with.
They are simply in a DIFFERENT CLASS and make the locals look bad and inept.
Most African immigrants get a job and their children understand the importance of education. They don’t fit in with American blacks because they don’t have that victim mentality so ingrained in American blacks.
They don’t have the history to be “down with the struggle”. The black community said the same of Barack Obama (who’s father was not American or of American slave heritage).
Barack has actually claimed ties to American slave history through his children (and wife).
The black community has pecking order determined by skin color and perceived grievances as well.
Coming here from “Mother” Africa does not guarantee respect or admiration.
I taught at a 98% black school in the South and the kids of African immigrants were always the valedictorians.
The immigrants are grateful for this country and they make an effort to speak proper English and work hard. Entitlement folks take that as an insult.
That's no excuse for violence, of course, but it might be part of the picture.
Don’t feel singled out. These thugs hate everybody.
The chances are good that these real Africans (Americans) are jet-black in complexion ... or as dark as a badger’s butt on a moonless night.
But in trying to make something of themselves through application and hard work, they will still be accused by Americans (fake African) of “acting white”.
Interesting. I worked with a “lost boy” who was a nurses aide in the ICU at pittsburgh’s Mercy hospital back in 2002. I lost track of him after I entered grad school the following year. Nice kid. Hard worker, wanted to be a nurse. He bore terrible scars from being beaten in his home country. All of his family I think had been killed.
The African American community really needs to take a hard look at itself. I know that won’t happen but I keep praying their hearts will be opened. They’re behavior is shameful.
All lives matter.
The difference is that African blacks (or Caribbean blacks) see America as a land of opportunity to better the lot of themselves and their families. American blacks sit back, bad mouth “whitey”, and wait for government checks. African blacks see American blacks as spoiled parasites.
