Malcolm Gladwell is English-Canadian
what are you doing? You're contradicting yourself, breh.
You're trying to refute me using a
mulatto English-
Canadian.
The irony.
I know he is an English Canadian.
You are contradicting yourself...
I am saying why you try to equate yourself, a second generation Black immigrant to a native Black American.
Why you trying to make yourself seem like you have the same experiences and trials and tribulations in the USA.
When you said that you separate yourself culturally and ethnically
And you even said Black immigrants are not a monolith...
And you don't even believe in the one-drop rule...
But you seem to think Black immigrants and Black Americans need to have the same rights and privileges...although we are different.
This isn't even just an American thing, it's a western thing.
Black immigrants are treated better than blacks born in western countries by white people, in most cases at the low/mid level. White people love being praised/worshipped and they'll always treat any black group that has no entitlement and no real ties to it better. Those are the ones they classify as "safe blacks" and the ones that they can easily control because most of them are just out there for greener pastures and to eke out a living. So trying to trouble white people is the last thing on their mind. That's just the way it's everywhere else in the world.
You AAs just like thinking everyone is out to get you and that isn't the case. I'm sure you as an African American would get better treatment in most places in Africa than most indigenous Africans living in those places.
So you think Black immigrants in the USA deserve to have the same affirmative action rights and other privileges as Black Americans...
We are saying that AAs don't deserve the same rights and privileges as former ex-colonial subjects in their own country or the country of their colonizer...
