Coli UK posters, Do Africans and Caribbeans beef over there?

[YourMumsRoom]

you grew up in london right? it should be easy enough to be able to tell the major black ethnic groups apart in most cases.

i can.

Nah not as easily. The looks and accents used to give it away but Africans have assimilated a lot better over the last 20 years and some even do the foolish that used that used to be stereotypically labelled for West Indians. Plus a lot of us were born here now so those older holds are different.

 

[How Sway?]

that's because the UK and other European immigration agencies don't vet their african immigrants like like America.

but I notice that children of african immigrants in the UK and France are much more closer to their african culture than the ones in America.

It helps that the flights are closer cheaper too, making it easier to go back & forth

In the 80s, 90s and 2000s it was Africans vs Jamaicans now it's more so West Africans & Jamaicans vs Somalians

Are Africans really gang banging in the US like that? I live in NYC and anytime there is a gang bust, I don't see any African names.

 

[WaveGang]

Really? I heard different, and I also heard the Africans would use "slave baby" to refer to Caribbeans, while the Caribbean descended would respond with Bubu.
I'm also pretty sure one project was predominantly Ghanaian, and the other was predominantly Caribbean - and those tensions contributed.
The Ghetto Boys/Peckham boys beef?

I know you guys on the coli are old.. But you're literally 20years late with this.

A couple generations ago when I was young yea, but not now b.

My friend who lives in Harlem and is originally from Charleston, SC has a sister who lives in the UK.


His observation was that Jamaicans are viewed similar to the way African Americans are viewed in America. Not going to mention the pork steretypes.


He said that Africans in the UK tend to think they are better than Jamaicans. The other Caribbean countries I imagine are tiny compared to African and Jamaican populations that they are more so a silent group

This isn't true. It might even be harder for Africans to migrate to the UK than the US nowadays.
The reason why you see more second generating African immigrants getting involved in street crime over here is because there is virtually no black Middle Class.

Yeah, I've noticed Sierra Leoneans in England are lot more in touch then us over here. And the amount off times they go back amazes me, it's so easier for them.

I wonder the economic status off the Africans she was around. Cause up until recently, being African wasn't the thing. And a lot off Africans were trying to pose as Caribbeans.

Africans in Canada and the UK look up to Jamaicans from what I've seen over the years. The emergence of Afrobeat and Amapiano has them taking more pride in their culture.
