There is a difference when it's people that are like you and you can identify with.

Black Brazilians, Dominicans, Ghanians, South Africans are not "people that are like you and you can identify with" :dwillhuh:

AA are the dominate population here. So they are the ones you identify the most with. I barely seen any another type of Black outside of AA other than Nigerian functions.

As a Haitian growing up in America, that complex is common among some Haitians.

I guess it depends on where you're from. In NJ, AA/Haitian beef was real but it wasn't all of them. There was a period of time where being Haitian meant being dirty and musty.

I don't think this still goes on as the stereotypes died down once more public figures who were Haitian started coming out.
I always defended AAs though because it was basically white supremacy ideology.

I think people need to understand that most immigrants that come to this country LEGALLY are well to do in their home country. Most of these cats have that superior attitude b/c they were upper-class back home. They have resources and they pool them within their own community when they get here.
Not true when it comes to Caribbean immigrants

Not really. They just in the middle. Most of the well to do will stay in their country, send their kids to the best schools and run their country. Now the poorest who win the VISA lottery aren't the best either but they come with a purpose. Most ppl in Black areas outside of America lack resources and opportunity and there is expectation as well for you to do well in America. You simply can't compare it to the average.

You thinking about the Chinese or kids who parents are diplomats. Them nikkas got bank.
The Haitian and African immigrants I've come in contact with had resources and/or stature in their home country that helped them navigate the immigration process.

Whenever they were comfortable enough around me I would get the "talk" about how they were different from American blacks.:francis:

I had a Haitian co-worker whose father was in the military back in the day. I'm sure that helped his family move the process along. The African cats I came across in undergrad and grad school had some generational wealth.

Now Arabs, South Asians, and East Asians are a whole different level when it comes to having money and coming over here like pretending like they started with nothing.

@Poitier where does your contempt for Caribbean blacks come from?

No hate bro I respect you as a poster I just want to understand.

Someone had to traumatize him. No other explanation.

Pretend there aren't AA c00ns who lap into American white supremacy all day which is worse.

Pretend there aren't AAs with this exact mindset.

Thread is full of exposal.
