As someone of Carribean descent, yes we do think we're the best at everything. You should have seen last thanksgiving, my uncles competing over dumplings, making their own separate batches in a stupid competition because they both think their the best. And dont even get me started on the drunken arguments, every old Jamaican man is an expert in everything smh. But it comes from poverty, not having anything except pride and unshakeable confidence even when faced with the most impossible of odds.

That pride gets you through the most troubling of times, and that feeling doesn't go away even after success. It sometimes gets worse and becomes arrogance. But it's universal. Indians think their the best, Nigerians think their the best, etc. Every poor kid thinks their the best at something. Cuz when your poor thats the only win you got. Best athlete, best dancer, best singer, best bike rider, best madden player, etc. Rich kids dont think their the best at anything in particular, they know they are better than most simply because of their birthright, and thats good enough for them.

Dawg, I had an African teacher and I was one of the brightest students in the class, but dude never wanted to talk to me. He ignored me and never spoke a word to me until he heard I was Haitian and he was like "mi breda, you are a stellar and it's been such a pleasure" I was looking all :upsetfavre: until a classmate filled me in that they hate AAs :russ:
Thats crazy because my professor was from Tanianza and dude basically took me in and was like a mentor to me.... Im Bahamian/ AA mix but dude was one of the realest ppl I ever met :manny:

West Indians do have "the best food", if "best food" means relative to what African Americans eat.. and it's evident in taste, smell, and lower rate of sicknesses in our old age (sicknesses that African Americans are plagued by on a normal basis.)

As for best women, well that's debatable..

NOT!

West Indian women have retained far more ethnicity and spice in their bloodstreams(the two main ingredients of natural breathtaking beauty) than have African American women. So if the question is asked whose women are "better", as in looks, one would have to say West Indian. And especially quality of p*ssy. You take women who grew up eating nothing but fruit and vegetable vs women who grew up eating nothing but fried chicken and mcdonalds and junk food snacks -- the one who had the better diet will have the juicier sweeter and hotter p*ssy..(fellas who've run up in enough good kitty know what I mean about the "hotter" p*ssy part..realllyyyy good p*ssy has a temperature level all of it's own smh)

But in all actuality I'm just having fu,n and all these things are subjective and not really worth debating outside of just that -having fun...
..
but the one scary and glaring thing that is always obvious in these types of discussions is the way African Americans feel so threatened by any culture that has maintained pride and self identity within itself(as they unfortunately were not able to do and are now the most splintered lack of identity having lack of pride or unity having culture on the planet). Any culture that still holds it's values, has some semblance of unity and pride, and doesn't mind showing it, gets attacked by African Americans. A direct result/reaction of their own current state as a community, where they don't even know if they prefer being called Afr American or Black, let alone have any inkling of pride or unity. It's sad for those of us who care about the Black diaspora as a whole.

And then all the ignorance amongst West Indians (and Africans for that matter) where they think they know about African Americans and they think they know about the African American struggle, don't help at all. And it lends to a false sense of superiority and 'better than thou' type sentiment. And nothing could be further than the truth. For all our pride and identity we have, we suffer just as equally in other areas of character and morale that afr americans do not suffer in.
lmao there is some truth to this but who told you caribbean girls eat fruits n shyt sigh
