California sets precedent by breaking down Black employee data by lineage

And people had the nerve to question why I said African immigrants don’t face the same level of discrimination that black people do.

Black is Black with regards to anti-Black discrimination in the USA.....but even back when Marcus Garvey was pushing Black Nationalism and Carter G Woodson published his best known book, Jamaicans and other Black immigrants were more driven to open up businesses and were more likely to own them.

Now maybe the explanation is slavery where Black Americans were only able to just survive for centuries combined with forced segregation which deprived them of the ability to thrive the way they could have in an all Black country.

Also when you come from a country where you're in charge your mindset is completely different. Because it doesn't even occur to you that you can't be in charge. So when you move to a new country it's just expected that you'll dominate. For native Blacks though that's never happened so their outlook is completely different.

This is because they’re more likely to be middle class and elites, relative to most people in their country who couldn’t dream to emigrate. It costs an incredible amount of money to move from Nigeria to the US and become a citizen. Way more than let’s say a Mexican or something.

That whole “poor African came here with nothing” is a myth used on prestigious college applications. Most of these Nigerians come from families of upper class professions like doctors, professors, political families etc.

It’s an open secret, just like checking a box on an application to call yourself African American while speaking down on us like dogs at the dinner table.

This myth again. They don't come from dirt poor families, but they aren't elite. The elite stay in their counties, because they're elite. It's mainly just ordinary families pulling their resources together to send one fortunate one over.

 

[HimmyHendrix]

Yep. Some of the most driven people you will meet.

Lies. Nigerians who come here are cherry picked from Nigeria and are not representative of the average Nigerian. The Nigerians who come here are not
The “have nots” of Nigeria.
They are bourgeoise and educated Nigerians

This is a lie but keep telling it. 72% of Nigerian immigrants are college graduates before they come to
America

??? Because Nigeria is in deep decay?

What the hell do you mean? Most people who “well to do” In their countries still migrate because of the power of USD

nikkas be doctors in Sudan, and come here and drive taxis. Don’t play dumb

I support this. Asian groups pushed for this as well. I know the data isnt going to be hopeful for looking at our progress, but we need to make sure adequate resources are going to the right people. This is the first step.

Curious why that particular group is pushing for this. Not saying its a bad thing but i could see this being used to get rid of affirmative action and other programs on the grounds that "see, look black immigrants can do it why can't they"

Its like the Asian thing. Theres a higher barrier for getting into the country so it skews to success for migrants. I remember reading Nigerians are the most successful migrants.

Successful in what ways?

Nigeria is a shythole due to America and the United Kingdom. If they leave Nigeria alone, let us separate from the fukk nikkas and do our own thing, we would create our own Dubai

Not even close. Ados is the most successful by a mile. The only reason Africans shyt on ados in Boston and California is because they been there since the 60s. The biggest issue with ados is they couldn't maintain the success of the 80s and 90s where they were miles ahead of Africans, New Caribbeans, and Hispanics. The recession fukked a lot of shyt up and the ados children wasn't as successful as their parents generation.

This was done on purpose. Whites fukked a lot of Black kids up. Where as they tried to do the same to African and Caribbean kids but those parents was like, it's always the kid fault. You don't know how many times I got my ass whooped for a white supremacist teacher.

I used to get my ass whooped everyday by white teachers. That's why I whooped so much ass in general. A nikka went through hell and my father always believe the teacher because that's what they did in Africa where they had white teachers there as well.

They just don't give a fukk, they just extremely focus. Racism can't knock them off because they don't give a fukk. They all about their goal which is education is the way. My ados side was always like there is a way, education is one of them but it's not the only, if you not good at it, do something else. Not my African side, it was life or death and they will kill you for underachieving. I got beat with a wooden boom stick.
