Most caribbeans who own homes got it through soosoo money

I really wish you guys would stop spreading this lie.
Most Haitians participate in a group economic lending called Sol or as West Africans term it SouSou
Jamaicans call it Partner. Other groups immigrants have their own versions of it.


'Sou-sou': Black immigrants bring savings club stateside

Ok, let’s say that’s how they’ve managed to outpace ADOS in this regard. That still means they have an advantage that is rooted in how splintered and systemically battered the ADOS community is, entering this country with the capacity to interact with systems of capital in a way most ADOS aren’t. While they’re on code and able to pool money through these collectives, ADOS men and women live in a country that has historically denied them avenues to generate wealth, subjected to psychological warfare that has stripped their community of the will to get on code and participate in group economics.

And let’s not act as if these immigrants are representative of the whole in the countries from which they hail. Just as immigrants of other non white nations are vetted, so too are these Caribbean and African groups. They are still useful model minorities who have been and continue to be weaponized against ADOS.

Above the fray.

Some.
Not most in this era. Maybe in the past people were able to raise down payments that way.
But in 2022, even the post 60s wave of Caribbean immigrants are 2, 3 generations on this country now. Their children purchasing homes do it how everybody else does, solid credentials, work history, credit + sacrifice. Kids are assimilated into the academic and traditional banking systems in ways their parents might not have been.

There was resentment towards Haitians by ADOS residents of Boston and its surrounding areas (I grew up in Cambridge), because we saw the Haitians used as a wedge against us by the white power structure. They were given preferential treatment over black people who had spent generations here, granted easy access to loans we had difficulty qualifying for, and welcomed to schools that had almost no ADOS children with two black parents in attendance.

White people around here treat Haitians, Jamaicans and Africans as if they’re a separate and better class of black.

:francis:
A lot of them make the distinction as well and even brag because they know they’re roots and culture.

Yeah, I don't see a lot of folks who do partner draw in my generation. Could be regional, not sure though.

I live here and saw it with my own eyes. I don’t have specific numbers, but I can extrapolate from the number of immigrant owned businesses and homes that they seem to have greater access to capital than ADOS residents. Most of the black businesses around here are owned by Carribean black people.

:francis:

It's cause they pool their money together. Carribeans got this thing where like 30 people join a club and they all put like 100 a week. Every week someone gets the 3k.

Wait—we can't mention the bloodline? :gucci:
Haitians and Jamaicans in my experience let it be known that they not African American or American Black, which is fine. I have noticed in my experience they in a way low rate AA’s for not having a culture or language our own. They also say we lazy, but don’t know the full picture.
