Ugandan 2nd Gen Immigrant Realized Whites Treat Africans Better Than AAs

[xoxodede]

Not according to government laws.

Try going to Africa claiming you're African while giving off an entirely American persona just like slave-descended AAs. You'll be clowned to oblivion

I wouldn't even try too.

But, if I did for some odd reason - I would be greatly respectful and understanding to the history of the people in that country. I would learn everything I could about them and their ancestors experience -- and empathize with what their ancestors and community has went through.

I wouldn't front like I am the same as them and face the same issues and challenges cause we share the same skin-tone.

Nor would I partake in the benefits specifically made for them due to their ancestor/families experience. And if I did (and they knew I did) -- I wouldn't turn around and act like we are the same, marginalize their specific experience/history -- and even diss them and detached from them for my greater gain.

What kind of shyt is that...

You love saying that huh? LOL.

But, honey we are different.

How many tmes have I said that?


So people of African descent look different now?

I have noticed this and called it out a few times. It's always deflection - "we all in the same gang and fighting the same issues" or " what issues do Black Americans have that we don't? - we black too!" or like @Concerning VIolence loves to do -- my skin Black and your skin is black -- we the same here in America... NO.

It's so aggravating because.. they rarely look at (or car ) about our past and history in the country. Or what our ancestors went through for us and which paved the way for them for their parents/family to even enter into this country.

But, it is what it is.

Funny you didn't have this POV in Poitier's thread trying to school me on Haitian history.

Guess you're a pan-afrcanist when it comes to belitting vodou.

 

[Concerning VIolence]

Our social conditions are different please watch the yvette video she actually mention haitians a little bit afterwards the time stamp I'd posted.

I said LOOK different.

i'm sure cops cared that Amadou Diallo was Guinean before letting off forty-one shots into his body, brehs.

What would you like non aa blacks to say ?and what issues are AAs facing that non AAs in America don’t face?

Don't act like we are facing the same issues - cause we are not. Also, be understanding of that -- and stop acting like that isn't true.

Sigh. Many... I always recommend reading: The Case for Reparations

I'm sure NYPD pigs cared that Abner Louima was Haitian , brehs and brehettes

I think it's like an inside secret...or a code or something...like Jews...like you can't talk about how successful the Jews are...because it's anti-semitic...

And now we can't talk about how successful Africans and West Indians are compared to AAs and how that works...because it's divisive...

I seen plenty of threads of shytting on Africans in Africa...calling them c00ns and shyt

First of all it's not some code because like someone previously pointed out. The group of African immigrants are from different countries in the continent so different experiences. So there is no code secret society shyt going on. Secondly, the "success" of Africans and West Indians compared to AAs is and has been lately used as a way to rally around AAs to point out that these groups are complicit in white supremacy when myself and others have demonstrated through both personal experiences and data that that representation is not entirely accurate because different immigrant population experience different types of success or lack thereof. You cannot compare the Somalis in Minnesota or South Sudanese in Maine to the Nigerians in Houston, TX.

The topic is getting exhaustive and people from both sides of the argument have had their say and everybody knows where they stand so rehashing causes people to shut down conversation or suspect that some have an agenda.

One of the most common and newest wave of African immigrants are not highly educated of economic migrants but people who are fleeing conflicts from places like DR Congo.

US accepts more refugees from DRC than Syria amid warnings over militants

Or Diallo in the Bronx. But you know that doesn't fit the narrative.

I'm sure NYPD devils cared that Patrick Dorismund was Haitian, brehs and brehettes

 

[ba'al]

That is fishy though everytime we mention things specific to the AA struggle we basically told to get over it. Applying for programs we fought and the data shows cacs will pick a immigrant over a AA.
But it's whatever I thought it was an interesting article. IF you want the entire context watch yvette video because what ya'll are arguging isn't the point

I said LOOK different.

Can you watch the video you speaking on color. The haitian struggle isn't the same as AA I don't know why that makes you upset bruh. You have a nation to your own we have nada. Ya'll still come here regardless of this country racist history. AAs didn't have a choice. But it's whatever I like the entire disporia but seems like our specific issues as AA always get pushed to the back burner and we have to champion other groups agendas before our owns.

Man, I have seen this discussion done like 6+ times. Some groups in the same division don't have the same stigma, but they can be oppressed. We have discussed this to death on this forum. The convo needs to over to what you do with your toolkit to help the community. Cause at the end of the day, regardless if people in bulk or in few, acknowledge this issue, y'all still kissing taint.

I'm sure NYPD devils cared that Ousmane Zongo was Burkinabe, brehs and brehettes.

Right. Cause ATR and spirituality studies is a interest/hobby of mine. Plus, it's important in my personal life.

A hobby recommendation for you: Black American history: enslavement, the civil war, reconstruction, Jim Crow...

Or it may be easier to continue using the degrading words that were used against Blacks in America --like "c00n" --- but not interested to know the history and pain behind the term.
