African americans have this irritating way they speak like they are angry. Very fast and forceful in speech. Huge turn off.

The women are masculine, while the men are feminine. They are a big dent to our image as black people. I wish they can go into extinction.

What about Africans? Despite having so many resources..what have you done with it?

Did someone hack your account? You really typed that?

@Topic: Well, I think any animosity AAs have towards black Africans will end or at best subside when/if black Africa becomes very rich. Hitherto, Chinese Singaporeans, Chinese Malaysians and Hong Kongers mocked Mainland Chinese because the former were richer and thus more powerful than the latter. However, ever since China rose economically and militarily, Chinese of Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong origins have no other choice than to respect Mainland Chinese. You know, they say money stops nonsense. More money stops more nonsense.

Meaning? It's possible to believe there is social dysfunction among African-Americans and yet, not become a fanboy of toxic, grifting ignoramuses like Candace Owens who I recall you defending before.

The mod who pushed this to the front page is great. This writer made some good points. And i like how he tried to balance the subject.

I will like to read the opinions of two african americans here. Dasani and Khiaa. What do you guys think? Just feel this is from an african, and comments from african american should be read.

Co-sign.

I also think we shouldn't judge an entire group of people until we've walked a mile in their shoes.

Not all african Americans think this way...

The main issue btw african American and stupiid africans is:
1. When you africans leave your shitthole countries and have the audacity to criticize the african Americans in their country.
2. When you africans think you’re better than african Americans
3. When you give birth to your african baby in American, return to your shitthole countries and then send the child back to America after 18 years to simply milk all the things (you did not work for) American citizens work hard/ pay taxes for
4. When you leave your shitthole countries to simply milk the American system, either by your fraudulent activities or by collecting govtmnt money that you do not deserve.
5. When you open your goro infested mouth to castigate the african Americans without taking a time out to completely understand their various backgrounds and history.
6. When you leave your no light shitthole countries to complain about the American system.
7. When you finally obtained your blue passport (become a voter) without understanding that a few african Americans died many years ago fighting for the rights to vote.

Can you imagine, a bunch of clowns running to Nigeria to milk our system and also criticize everything about Nigerians?
Do you guys remember how the Ghanaians were treated in Nigeria many years ago?

Africans should simply shut the fuccck up, learn to understand the history of african Americans and stop looking down at them....For sure, some of these people (African Americans) are more decent by far than average voodoo mugger Africans

Before you advise the african Americans you should first advise the area boys all around Nigeria and also stop collecting bags of rice to vote for those leaders that continue to sink your shitthole countries



Rubbish

So the white cracker is very much a VICTIM of white supremacists ideology as the the black man
part of being an adult is having the freedom to know right from wrong, truth from lies. Whites are not victims, they chose to believe the lies that have been peddled for generations.

The conception the African immigrant has about the African-American is largely true.
Let's start from how many of them finish college?
The typical African-American woman with a baby is likely a babymama.
Which group tops d drug dealing and use chart in America?
Which group tops the guns/knife crimes in America?

Stop perpetuating all these myths. How many African Americans do you know? I am sure you don't like it when Nigerians are associated with fraud. Please go beyond what you see on TV and learn to interact with people with an open mind. There are many educated African-Americans who have worked hard to achieve success despite the adversity they faced. Also who told you that only education determines a person's social status? There are people with just high school diplomas who through sheer determination and hard work have risen to the top in their different professions.

southern Africans suffered the worst...

like I told Jaqenhghar.

If wh:yte people maltreat Africans, the Africans especially west Africans would kidnap them and maltreat them back, so they just leave west Africans in poverty by not doing any corporate social responsibility to uplift them, they exploit the Africans.

west Africans fought the europeans till the early 1900s while southern Africans were in apartheid, slavery e.t.c.. west Africans were fighting against the europeans..

tribalism is actually what save most west Africans...
BS. Are non blacks not ill treating Niggerians IN Niggeria till this day? Have you visited a factory run by Chinese or Indians and seen how they treat Niggerians? Only in Niggeria will you see a Lebanese man or a Chinese man set up a resturant or a club and say no blacks allowed. Blacks still call Lebanese and Indians "master" in their own country ( AAs dont call whites master in the US). Niggerian Banks will prefer to give loans to non Niggerians. I can go on and on all this your talk is crap. What you calm fighting the whites for independence was just talks and negotiations

Let me ask though, do African immigrants actually fail in their endeavors?

Yes they do. There are many African immigrants who live on welfare/benefits despite being able-bodied.

You are right
But not 100 %

Let's use our country Nigeria as an example

Most of the tribalism in Nigeria is fuelled by what our parents parents told us

You can't deny it
You know
.While some of us have chosen to jettison such tribal superiority nonsense
Many are still victims of it
They refused to change partly because they wrre indoctrinated by Childhood

A study I read showed that most people start exhibiting racist /tribalism tendencies from 6-7 years
Prior to that
99% of kids don't show racial behaviour, as they see their peers from elsewhere as same


So you see
My point is still valid
Even tho I understand that by choice, we can struggle to break free from it

singapore was given preference after WW2 by the western nations... the western nations shared technology, capital, knowledge and infrastructural development with singapore, malaysia e.t.c. that's why they (singapore) are where they are today...
If someone robs you and burns your house does that mean you will never work again. Will you say because you have been robbed so it ends there? SMH

You're right, most Africans are ignorant of what happened to African Americans,

Ignorance is just black man's problem

The gnorance is two ways
Many African Americans think we just had it easy here, while conniving with the Dutch and Portuguese to sell them off undecided

A lot of re education needs to be done

That baby mama thing is so rampant , you will see a 23 year old girl with 4 kids for different men, same thing applicable to the guys. African Americans are disgrace to the black race. They're very lazy, even me as a lady I'm stronger than their guys. They keep complaining about how the white ppl maltreat them look at them with disdain. Me as a typical African lady this white people don't treat me like trash even with my accent. If you see the way I was treated in a US bank, my head begin swell. But the African Americans keep complaining of racism.

What about your African men with children from different mothers? Is it because you guys try to hide all your bad behaviour? We are quick to point out the shortcomings of another group of people while forgetting what is happening in our backyard.

Nope they did not run Liberia to the ground. Liberia was a vibrant when it was ran by the Americo-Liberians. After the civil war and the overthrow of the Americo-Liberians did the country become in the state it is currently in. The only thing they are guilty of is maltreatment of the natives of Liberia.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-vwDkRtKDU
Una don start with una miseducation

I was there live and direct
Heard from the horses mouth

Americoliberians ran that country aground

Election rigging in the 1920s
Poverty and near caste system that they ran subjugating the natives cos they open eye small
Etc

I have first hand info

So don't tell me that

African Americans have ruined most communities they ran

Same for Africans

So on what basis does he think he is better than Africans?

Both groups exhibit the same short sightedness

Both groups worship instant gratification

So on what basis really do you think you are better

Or vice versa
Forget story

They have this aggressive way they speak, even when they contribute in the classroom, it irritates the heck outta me. There is this African American guy that I met few months ago. He's so different from his counterparts. He speaks well, he doesn't use the F word, he loves Africa so much.

I bet you don't realize that Nigerians are very loud and can appear to be violent to people who don't know them, especially to people who can't understand them. Trust me when you guys have heated conversations, it is very uncomfortable to onlookers. So Nigerians can be considered aggressive too.

during that period, wh:yte people didn't employ black people and racism was high..

I am responding from the point of view of that period..

there weren't many AA owned companies...

so getting a job after such ordeal would be difficult..

talking about over 80 years ago not 2020..
Now its 2020. AAs are more brilliant, richer, more educated. What stops them from having another?
