People don't often immigrate for fun, but because conditions compel them to. So when they first arrive to USA, they are living in the poor Black sections of the country., their first interactions with Blacks here are with the ones in the struggle..and the immigrant assumes a position in this society that is sometimes beneath what their position was back home.
what he said is true in most cases. idk about atlanta or houston but even in DC, not all the Africans around aren't rich. I live around Ethiopians now and they own alot of business but they no different than other blacksMaybe in some situations but in some cities like DC, Houston and Atlanta, there is a monied class of Africans that immigrate.

but most AAs don't live like thatHuge gap between middle class and abject poverty in the slums with hood nikkas and hoodrats
but most AAs don't live like that
..and where do they live when they arrive to these shores?Maybe in some situations but in some cities like DC, Houston and Atlanta, there is a monied class of Africans that immigrate.

ik not seeing where he says that in his postSo tell him that....
He didn't see it either, he's deflecting. I thought the Root section was no BS, but I think that certain members are incapable of having adult discussions.ik not seeing where he says that in his post
Up here in the tri-state area they start out in the hood. Most of em I knew start out in low income spots in the Bronx, Harlem, Brooklyn, Newark, Philly, and then move to the suburbs once they're more established and heavily networked(have their own businesses like auto shops, food stores, become US-trained doctors, etc)
Maybe down South is differnet since cost of living is cheaper and theres more land but up here in the east coast it's not very common in my experience for upper class Africans to straight immigrate here into a big ass home. And those that do, end up having to start all over again since they have to bring family members here and/or their jobs back home do not necessarily translate into a straight cushy position in the US.
Having lived in both regions. Non American Blacks migrate to the northeast primarily and practice group economics till this day.
Black Americans practice individualism and chase whatever means of income that could be found. Hence, the reverse migration out off the northeast and west.
Houston, Dallas and the Midwest are becoming more saturated with mostly Africans and some Caribbean people, and it is starting to cause a cultural divide between all Blacks.
The only connection, and thing we really "know" about each other is skin tone, and we are trying to get money and live the life we want to live.
