Mostly because a ton of Africans don't seriously study history in school until uni, if even then,much less the history of the United States and African Americans so the ones who make those type of statements are usually doing it from a place of ignorance. Often it takes them decades of lining in the US to realize certain things. Others know what to expect but choose to deal with racism like a sort of 'immigrant tax', the price for the American dream.

@barbiedreamzown Месяц назад

You aren’t black American at all you’re Caribbean American

@lifeordeath9228 Месяц назад

@barbiedreamzown reason I say Black (Caribbean) American is because while I acknowledge that I am literally a Caribbean American, I am socialized as Black / African American by American society. With the exception of keen Caribbean people, nobody is thinking I am anything other than African American. That's just how it is growing up here, if you are Black then you are put in the bucket of being African American even though that history does not inherently apply to you. Especially since I am able to articulate myself in an "American" accent, have a White sounding name, do not overtly wear or use anything that ties me to my Caribbean identity, or have any specific ethnic features that may allude that I am anything other than African American. Saying that I'm not a Black/African American doesn't make sense in that context. I am treated as one by society, so that is my lived experience. Even when I go back to the islands, they treat me as a foreigner despite my ethnic routes. Intersectionality due to nationally makes ethnic/racial matters more complex than one may think.

@heyitsbroski Год назад

While it is tragic, they need to stop thinking they're the only ones that suffered. People of all races were slaves at one point or another and the transatlantic slave trade was NOT the worse of all-time. They need to start blaming their own people, the Africans that sold them to the Europeans for weapons. Blame the Jews that owned and operated the ships that brought them over. Staying in the victimhood mentality will always give them a reason to blame others rather than taking action of their own lives to better themselves and their culture.

@swanton47 Год назад

@@heyitsbroski chattel slavery is nothing like the other forms of slavery and nobody said we were the only ones. The fact that other people were slaves does not minimize what we’ve been through when those scars and the affects are literally still here today. There were wars fought to get us back and some slaves were prisoners beforehand. And damn ok blame everyone except the white colonizers? Jews didn’t have as big of a role as you think

As an African, I also think that because we are immigrants and had the choice of coming to America, that experience in itself will be quite different from African Americans who were initially forced to come over and went through generations of being in a system that didn’t allow them to have opportunities for career growth . Most African immigrants WHO do come over, have at some capacity exposure to education, work experience or connections. Not saying there are Africans who don’t come to America struggling but coming over to America requires most immigrants (especially African immigrants)to have some sort of aspect that makes them “valuable” for them to even attain a visa. I really don’t like when people try to say that Africans are more “successful” than AA cause we work harder and are not lazy. AA are just as successful but there are still families that are still going through that cycle of poverty and trauma due to slavery. While most Africans who happen to migrate to America with a set plan with high exposure are probably going to be successful anyways and instill that in their children. Comparing both groups in numbers regarding success misrepresents it cause keep in mind there are Africans back home who are also still trying to break cycles of poverty. So I’m just saying that immigrant experience is very much distinct than that of AA experience.

@anyaw340 Год назад

Completely agree. The US government does not select just anyone to come to the US, since many people would come here and be burdens on US society. They select people who have already demonstrated that they can persevere and achieve some level of success in their own countries. These are people who have already *proven* to be ambitious and talented in their own countries, but just need the tools of a first world country to really reach their potential. These are the kinds of people the US selects. Thus, immigrants in general (not just Africans) are more successful than *all* native-born Americans (not just African Americans) because they were selected specifically for accomplishments they've already made before they even got here. That's certainly a compliment to immigrant populations, but it's not reflective of their cultures in general.

I love this one. Great conversation. It breaks my heart that racism is still a thing in this country. I legitimately thought that racism was something of the past when I learned about it in detail back in high school. It wasn't until my late 20's-early 30's that I started seeing that this crap was alive and well. I come from European decent with an eighth indigenous American and 3% African blood. I'm mixed up and so is everyone else. I wish people would recognize this, grow up, and let the hate go. Look at the big picture and realize that we are beautiful creatures sharing a tiny, little planet. I wish we could figure out how to look out for each other and play fair. There is no room for racism in my world-view.

What I’ve noticed in regards to AA progression is; while there are programs available to apply for to get grants for small business or loans, when large amounts of Black people begin to apply for things like that rules and laws are created to slow the progression or loan rates are higher because of where they are from-the red line comes into play. So you move forward a bit, but “don’t try to get past or catch up” to others.

I wish for African Americans to understand that we are truly not that different from each other. Hating each other fuels the fire of hatred that slavery and colonization created which means we lose in the end while they laugh at our demise.

@ahmypeace Год назад

This is soo golden. As a Nigerian in the US, I have experienced different layers of biases and prejudices back home( cultural, social, economic and institutional biases etc). We were raised in struggles- to strive to get the bare minimum, that when we come here in the US and see AA complain, we feel that they are being ungrateful to the system that provided everything we struggled to get even in a place we call HOME. ‘I mean, how can I as an immigrant have access to scholarships, housing, quality food, security etc’. However, after a class in digital cultures with many people narrating their biases, I realized that even we who want our marginalized voices to be heard (regardless of place) have in fact become passive oppressors to other groups who we gaslight because we don’t relate to their struggles. And by doing so, we become the very oppressor we sought to repress. Therefore, by acknowledging each other’s pain like Skipp did in the beginning of the video where he acknowledged the struggles in Cameroon while also acknowledging generational and modern slavery of AA in America, we can all build a healthy community. Biases and struggles exist even in the tiniest unit of human existence, until we acknowledge ALL, we will keep fighting for equality and equity.
