Wrong. Sending bottles of water into people inside of a burning house is not help. Sending money back to people who have to deal with corrupt governments is not help. Help is taking part in the politics of your country and starting grassroots movements to cut out the rot of corruption. Sending money back home is putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound, without ever considering the removal of the bullet.
You don't have the first clue to how 3rd world countries operate so I'll just move on as I know you are too ignorant to understand as it's not your battle or situation and you aren't intelligent enough to even begin to understand. So let's move on as you don't qualify.
default black culture as in, it’s the only culture specifically for black people. Which is why a Asian partaking in a Carribean culture is not a cannot be a culture vulture because said culture is based around nationality. American Culture and Black American Culture have grown independently of each other due to segregation and terrorism. That is what makes it the only black culture.
That makes absolutely no sense. Try explaining it to me in a different way.
it’s not via proxy because we are not immigrants nor were we invaded. We’ve been here for every step of America, and before the country even had independence. We are not guests. There is no version of America that black Americans have not existed in. Not one. Because we don’t have the power due to being outnumbered 9-1, doesn't mean it isn’t our country.
I'll hold off till I read the entire paragraph when it comes to the proxy part.
Black folks are not immigrants nor were invaded. I agree so far.
I agree with the Black folks were here at each major step and were the biggest commodity that made America what it is tonight. Free labor.
I agree, Black folks are not guests.
I agree.
This one is confusing. It doesn't make sense nor did it address my main point either.
"Because we don’t have the power due to being outnumbered 9-1, doesn't mean it isn’t our country."
In South Africa, Blacks outnumbered whites 10-1 but whites run the economy. What do Black people run in America? You are saying Black Americans have it better than any other group of Blacks in the Caribbean or Africa as a collective? My response is, via proxy. You are in a first-world country. I don't see anything you wrote to deny this fact.
Black Americans resources and America’s resources are one and the same. We built the country and our owed reparations because of it.
I agree with reparations, but what are Black American resources? If what you are saying is correct, why are ALL other immigrant groups getting far more of "your" resources than you? And not just more, significantly more. In fact, only the other Blacks are getting far less of those resources. Make it make sense since this is one and the same?
Social advantages as in black immigrants post 1965, have come into a very specific version of America. One that is the result of 100s of years of black American sacrifice. The 1965 immigration act is a result of that. Being able to come to america with a clean state and start your bloodline here using the resources of the most rich country in the world (that you didn’t built) is a giant social advantage of a global scale
Are you sure? The Moynihan Report counters this and last I checked, till this day, they are still following the Moynihan report as law which was introduced in 1965. I really believe you are confused. There hasn't been a Black race-specific law on the books since before 1965 and almost all of those are bad. Even affirmative action wasn't Black specific which was also signed in 1965.
It was the richest nation in 1965. That would be true for most Americans at this time and all future Americans. I don't see this as the knock that you seem to think it is.
Educational boosts as in immigrants to play the black card and the immigrant card as they say fit. Applying for scholarships and grants and schools that were put into action at a time when non white immigrants Weren’t even allowed in the country. Not only that, applying for BOTH immigrant scholarships and black scholarships. Why did I as a student have to apply for black scholarships, and share those with Nigerians, and Jamaicans who apply for the scholarships that were put forth my ancestors , and then they also apply for scholarships solely for carribeans and Africans. There’s dozens are scholarships solely for them that we do not have access to. Same with business loans and grants.
Black card? I didn't know there was such a thing outside of white supremacists claiming you are using it for attacking whatever white supremacists shyt they are doing. Non-whites immigrants have always been allowed into the country if they want you. As I said, there is a lot you just don't know. You just aren't educated enough.
What are Black scholarships? That's not even legal since 1965.
You can't even get federal or grants scholarships if you are an immigrant. Private, yes, but not government funded. You wouldn't be in comp with Nigerians or Jamaicans for scholarships or grants unless it's private and of course, they apply.
It's not legal to have Carribean-based scholarships in America. Scholarships have to be open to everyone legally. Same for business loans and grants.
no they have not, stop telling this lie. The black immigrant population pre the immigration act that was pushed through by the civil rights era, had less than 0.01% non American blacks. It was barely a thing.
They have no claim to the cultivation of America, and the FEW that did, were either half ADOS/FBA or used the Black American social sphere to push agendas (Garvey, Chisholm)
Take that BS to someone who don’t know better.
It was more than barely a thing. Many were involved in the ownership of massive values within the Black community like the Negro Leagues, the Black entertainment industry of 1900s to the 1940s, etc. Not to mention the business creators from the Caribbean and Africa who studied and some stayed if they offered enough value. Guys like Garvey were getting trained in England and coming to the states. It was no different in Africa. How do you think they linked up? Malcolm X's dad was a lawyer in the US and from the Islands. Saying it wasn't significant is simply false.
I disagree, I believe they have a clear claim to cultivation. Where I agree with you is they weren't in the US at every step. That, they weren't. They came for a better life even if it was a difficult one nonetheless.
You don't know better, that's the problem. You're a dullard. Sorry bro, but you really need to read a lot more books and really invest more into learning and less into blind hatred.
