Nigerians discussing the state of Black Americans (twitter responses to MLK vide)

[Samori Toure]

You are making some very wild assumptions here, and they are leading you to incorrect conclusions.

Proof positive that you know nothing about American history. Immigrants have always been attacked. First the Irish, then the Jews, then the Poles, then the Italians, then the Japs, then the whoever. You know that White folks are not going to miss out on opportunities to attack Hispanic, Middle Eastern and African immigrants. To think otherwise is just stupid.

Usually being upset at a black man for being arrogant is some Cac shyt but hey. It's a new day huh breh?

Oh yes indeed, nwokem.

Igbos have been called ‘arrogant’ forever. Even by the British. It is because the world is our village and we are the solvent of Nigeria.

We can’t be stopped.

Genocide us. Steal our oil. Tell Anioma and Ikwerre they’re not Igbos. Steal our wealth and properties. Loot our universities. Blow up our holiest shrine (Long Juju).

We will always bounce back and say our Chi is stronger than our enemies.


Igbo amaka!

You have missed the point so spectacularly that I'm now convinced that you've been in training for it like an Olympic event.

I have no clue what you are writing about. I don't even think that you know what you are writing about so I am out.

I have no clue

I don't even think

Arrogance is fine, but I don't understand this behavior toward African American people. Some of the things I hear even from Ghanaian family is too much when they refer to African americans, without considering context

Remember this Nigerian girl said her mother wouldn't allow her to get food stamps. We could learn some things from them, like striving for Academics. Nigerian average household income is damn near higher than whites

That's not to say we haven't, because some of us do, but it's still not a major focus.

And I agree, Nigerians don't understand what Black Americans go through. Black Wall Street comes to mind. The ultimate test would be if say a population of 3 million Nigerians came to the U.S. would they fall under white supremacy? Or would they ultimately rise and outclass Black Americans?

Make this a diaspora positivity thread.

If you want a diaspora positive thread, get out of our way and allow us to get what we're owed as "black" Americans, instead of injecting your opinion into our struggle because you feel left out.

They would do exactly this. The same way they outclass and shut out other ethnic groups in their own country.

The overwhelming majority of Nigerians in the US are Igbo. The other ethnic groups aren’t so lucky, they aren’t the ones with the funds and networks to move to a new country with a plan to game the system for economic benefit. They weren’t already academics, politicians, businessmen, or high ranking military in Nigeria. They are the ones living in poverty and systemic inequality.
