The Rihanna generation: How black immigrants are reshaping America

[Poitier]

@IllmaticDelta You have to write BOOK(S), breh. They are really trying to take our culture with this Kool Herc stuff

 

[Elle Driver]

Yea all this immigration stuff really aint even impacting black people like that because its hell for blacks to get into America anyways, i think Nigerians and Jamaicans might be the largest number? Black immigrants are in such tiny numbers that those who do come pretty much assimilate into AA culture and even then are grouped into the 40 mill Black Americans while other non white groups in America their populations are usually majority of the actual immigrants or at least a large number (pardon my wording if that was confusing).

I guess what im saying is when a black person steps foot in America you are now a n*gga as far as the census in concerned while other groups numbers are made up of large numbers of first gen immigrants thus they are seen from the lense of being say "Indians" or "chinese in American"

A lot of Caribbeans from countries like Jamaica and Trinidad have to finagle. By that I mean come here with a tourist VISA, stay past the expiration and unfortunately become undocumented. I've had family ask me to bring them here but I refused.

Most of the ones you know in this country got married to an American citizen. It is extremely difficult to get citizenship here.

No they don't. Many of these immigrants are sponsored by their families or are refugees and political asylees. Do you know how hard it is to get sponsorship to work here? America is notoriously difficult to get a green card, at all. That's why you have people marrying US citizens. The Rihanna generation is a stupid label imo, she's not an immigrant and has no status here she's just eligible to work in the US because she's signed to an American label.

and american white people cant see that those russian immigrants they let in in the early 90's had a part in reshaping america in a bad way.
but yet they shyt on immigrants of color who have education and a purpose. smfh.
so many of them russians came into supermarkets with their fur coats on and benzes outside waiting while buying food with foodstamps.
getting cash assistance but making off the book money. i saw these roaches come into coney island and fukk shyt up.
eating off the government with no education and no decency.
but yet they dont talk about them white immigrants that came around since the 90's

smh...Little Odessa. Ukrainian "jews" as well.
All up in the midwest and east coast.
Did you know the poorest community in the US is in Orange County, NY? Hasidic.

I don't wanna post in this thread Im not trying to sound like a hater but everytime someone writes one of these articles I can only because noone seems to understand self selection and population numbers. As a matter of fact, there was a thread just a few days ago that explained how all this works

http://www.thecoli.com/threads/why-...n-on-other-black-groups-dahell.406346/page-36

the point I was making to a poster in that thead

It's nice that you've finally found some evidence actually relating to Nigerians abroad, I was getting tired of asking you the same question without response. However, what your sources and your arguments fail to cover is what I highlighted in your first post, to paraphrase, you said something akin to 'Nigerians abroad are more educated, more ambitious (?) or better off than their Nigeria-bound counterparts, you failed to back up this claim with any evidence relating to Nigerians abroad.

All emigrant populations are bad representations of the full scale of the nation they came from. Why would Nigerian's be any different?

Lol exactly i dont think people realize how few black immigrants there are in this nation.

See, that's my main beef with the comparison

Compare political refugees from the horn to Blacks from West Africa or the West Indies brehs.

How so?

We are all black, anything that distracts from that makes us weaker and makes it harder to fight white supremacy

Fusion itself is a pseudo Hispanic and wannabe intersectionalist media company

now that you say that, i find it amazing that most of those who moved into manhattan beach are jewish
and all the european jews who werent russian in brooklyn were converting the new russian immigrants in the 90's
were they getting them onto the government payouts that take care of poor people associated with israel?

White South Africans can easily get American citizenship compared to the Black ones

The system is fukked up in that illegals have somehow gotten subsidies and vouchers and bypassed the system. I'll never cape for them if they're non-black.
