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.

I work with quite a few east African immigrants, mostly Ethiopians and Eritreans. The Africans I know really dislike the term “African American”. They take offense at these lazy black Americans calling themselves African.

Same thing with most other non-American blacks. I visited St Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands in the early 80’s. The blacks native to that island were living off welfare and had the same culture as the bad elements in US mainland ghettos. The economy of the island depended mainly on a Hess Oil refinery. The blue collar types who worked at the refinery were blacks from the British West Indies. From what I was told t the west Indian blacks lived pretty much in fear and kept their doors locked and didn’t venture outside much.
