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.

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.
