Learn to stick together
Use nepotism to further our selves
Keep our dollars within our communities
Learn to see America as a hustle
Etc.


Ok and why should an immigrant care about that if it doesn't affect them?
It does effect them.

They are just to ignorant to see.

They are eating off of Black Americans' civil rights victories, and don't want to call it how it is. They play cognitive dissonance with the whites for social stratification, and respectibility politics with the Blacks in order to manipulate their way into scholarships and other forms of support.


Nobody comes to America to be average. They come with a mission. Most Black Americans I know just want to be away from whites. It takes a special immigrant to want to be arm in arm with a demented capitalistic culture... especially with no cultural ties. Props to the Nigerians, but their wake up call is coming too.

It's not just an American thing - the same thing does happen in the UK as well. Most new African immigrants also tend to look down on Africans and Caribbeans born and raised in the UK as well.

However, I wouldn't call it xenophobia because it's a mixture of their own insecurities, ignorance, and the narrative they got from the media. You need to understand that most Africans on the continent view the west as the paradise where opportunities abound. So, once they get to the west and see synthetic aesthetics that are superior to where they came from - they always develop a complex and suddenly believe the opportunities are endless, without knowing that there's a ceiling for black folks because they don't understand systematic/institutionalized racism. Obviously, when they start meeting the black folks who have lived in the system for generations, with nothing much to show for it, in poverty - coupled with the media narrative - it's normal for them to swallow everything hook, line, and sinker and start looking down on these folks.

Overtime, after spending decades living in the same system and getting more acquainted to how things work and the fact that everything is make-believe...they tend to come back to their senses.


It's true the ignorance of Africans towards American history blinds them
but at the very core most Africans are tribalistic. You got fellow countrymen
that do not f*ck with each other

but the UK/US experiences are nothing alike.

An african kid in the US will develop a disdain when he is clowned by other
black kids for not having jordans and not bearing some slave masters last name

These brothers end up getting dissed for being corny then get love from white girls...

UK they wear uniforms and since former colony migrants are recent... there is less
stigma for not having some anglo-saxon name but there are way less black people
and you have to bear the full brunt of european culture in a white country

You can't even ascend income via music/TV in the UK...

I always wondered if it was an act of patriotism from immigrants. For example, they have this false belief that in order to be a real American you have side with "real Americans" or conservative white people.
YES! This is a huge part of it. I'm willing to bet. They have to hate AA's survive and to fit in. This happens with Black foreigners too. They gotta distance themselves from "Normal Blacks" to gain favor among Whites.

:mjpls:

But I'm not saying anything that hasn't been said a million times on here.

An example would be when Syrian refugees complained about living in st. Louis (which has a median income of 52k Population & Demographics | North County Quality of Life) as if they didn't just get saved from a far worse living condition where they had to worry about mass murder, bombs going off and complete civil war. They just didn't want to be around African Americans

This is my first time hearing of this. This is an eye opener....

yall blaming worldstarhiphop and the internet:comeon:?

immigrants who have that type of access should be blamed for searching out negative depictions they WANT to reinforce.....you telling me thats all they see over the whole internet? they dont get a pass at all.
that excuse has always been bullshyt

They also get dosages of black excellence as well. They choose to dwell on the bad. Not knowing their "media" image is literally exponentially worst

It's not about searching for it. It's about what's presented to them
Think about it.
