Why would AAs be jealous of Africans, when they are the one's fleeing their home nations at record numbers. It makes absolutely no sense. I would argue that it's actually the Africans who are jealous of AAs.
I don't think they would want to explore that reality....better to nitpick on the American dream as a means to build up French self-esteem, than to face their own harsh truths.
One thing that we Africans need to know is that it’s the African Americans that have paved the way and paid their blood hundreds of years for black and brown people to be in America and we need to appreciate this. This journey didn’t come easily. As an African immigrants we need to understand and honor the sacrifices made by our ancestors the blacks who fought for justice and racial equality and freedoms from oppression because without them the US could have been different like some other places.
Interesting that this video opens with a colonizer pointing out differences between African-Americans and our brothers and sisters straight from Africa. Divide and conquer is still going strong, I see. At the end of the day, we still have more in common with each other than we do with *them.*
I agree. I refuse to even watch the video, l am just reading the comments. No white person has the right to point out any differences or issues among African Americans and Africans.. The nerve
Actually, most African Americans have more in common with European/white Americans than they do with Africans. Same language, same western culture (with some variations), similar belief systems etc. the only big difference is across racial lines. If that isn’t the case then why do some African Americans feel the need to “connect to their roots” if they’re already similar to Africans? its because they are not. This video In the opening did point out an actual fact. You just didn’t like the race of the person who pointed it out. Having a differences doesn’t mean you can’t get along with one another. Africans and African Americans can get along well despite their differences.
I hear this all the time "African Americans envy native Africans because they know where they are from" but that's not the truth. Most African American see themselves as American and have the same issues with African immigrants as regular Americans do about immigrants in general (less jobs due to immigrants willing to settle for lower wages, rent increases, and all of the other issues associated with an influx of immigrants)
Yeah I was side eying this entire report. "African Americans" are the most accomplished and successful black demographic on the planet. We have global superstars that eclipse the entire continent of Africa. We ain't jealous and plus we are indigenous to America.
@@robbycole7047 hummmm, Joe Biden calls himself an Irish American, recently visited Ireland and Ireland isn't better than South Africa or some other parts of Africa. Certainly, if you are mature enough will understand what I mean.
As an African from Kenya 🇰🇪 I have experienced bias and or respect from both Caucasian and African Americans. It’s important for Africans to sustain a strong sense of self-esteem. We are made to feel lower because of our accents but instead we should be proud of who we are and where we come from. Take opportunity to educate the people around you about your country and our beautiful continent because most Americans that I have come across are very ignorant to the world outside America. There’s no American dream……we’re all on a wheel running like mice to stay ahead of debt 😂😂. The secret is make your money and rebuild in your home country and move back home to mother Africa where you can enjoy your money. No African wants to grow old in America.
You’re right. Please share this information to most Africans. Old age is the worst time to be unprepared when you’re as African in the US. Invest back home and do so heavily as in 40% of your income. You’ll be happier when you return home.
You fled, you're not strong. There is nothing to be jealous of a runner from their own land that couldn't stand on their square to make their lives better on their own land.
Furthermore, African Americans have shared history, heritage, goals, concerns, culture and the list continues. The interviewee and producers/interviewers reinforced the African American stereotypes that some Africans have toward us.
God bless America!!! If I didnt get the chance to come to America I wouldn't have the life that I have today. Whether one believe it or not, America is a land of opportunity. You can be anything you want if you put the time and energy towards your dream.
To some extent, but as a person of color, you'll NEVER get what truly your due, i.e. Black doctors earn $50k less than their white counterparts. My cousin, a nurse, had more experience, but the same education, was offered a salary paying $6k less than her white counterparts. It's the same in every profession.
@@rheeryder2524 Not really. Trust me, you can be anything you want, if you put the time and effort. Whether you like it or not, no country in the world gives migrants unlimited opportunities than the U.S.
@@hannahanna1490 the thing is you came to the us to help an already developed country get even more rich extracting your skills, your home country and people stay poorr?
I am African American and have African friends from Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, etc. There's no envy or jealousy. America is the greatest empire that ever existed. We have people from all over the world in our vast, diverse, and incredible country. There's no country on earth that comes even close to the number of people from all over the world who are attracted to our shores. Even in third tier cities, diversity is eye-popping. God bless America.
Same. I have friends from Ivory Coast, Zimbabwe, Congo, and Togo. We all get along just fine. Now only if we could do something about that 13th Amendment...
@Miguel D Lewis What's up Miguel? Isn't it amazing with how diverse America is? One would think that the people who want to come to the United States are only from English speaking countries. I have lived around the country, and the most diverse place I have lived in so far was Queens, NYC. There are people from Kazakhstan, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, the Caribbean, Mali, China, Cameroon, etc. You wonder if you are really in the United States. South Florida is the other place I experienced such diversity. Now, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery and freed the slaves. What did you mean by "We have to do something about the 13th Amendment? What's your train of thought?
@@summer031977 The 13th Amendment abolished chattel slavery. It made slavery legal for convicts, setting the groundwork for the prison industrial complex and the mass incarceration of black men. This was set in place before blacks in the US could legally read or write.
"There's no country on earth that even comes close to the number of people from all over the world who're attracted to our shores." You're clearly a typical Yankee who has not travelled to many countries. Britain is way more diverse than one can imagine. Every nationality is here. 🇬🇧 is a melting pot of different cultures. About USA being the greatest empire in the world. European countries can claim that accolade not USA.
@@Scotland-ki1rt I have been to the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Australia etc. Those countries are very diversified, but they do not match the diversity of America. There are thousands of towns and cities there with so many immigrant groups, it is really remarkable.
Africans are extremely jealous of us. How can they have vitriol for us when they have forgiveness for whites. Whites are the ones who colonized their homelands yet you find misplaced anger with people who NEVER DID ANYTHING TO YOU.
She the type that looks down on African Americans because we were once slaves, but fails to give us credit in our fight to give her the civil rights to be here.
From the beginning of this was suspect. Speaking about the relationship between African Americans and Africans. sometimes' Them' are not open ot having having American friends!!!!!!!! The U.S. was built on the backs of African Americans, I beleive some imigrats do not understand this ....There has been a long history of the two cultures having strong and postive relationhips. Why did she not share that. Fanny bad reporting !!!!!
Actually as an African American, I have no jealousy, envy or even interest in identifying a country of origin. For one, African-American cultural contribution is far greater and impactful worldwide both economically and socially than any nation on the African continent. I actually have no desire to travel to even visit West Africa let alone live there as it personally has nothing of substance to offer me. African Americans have lots of pride about our own history. And it is a false narrative that most of us a jealous of anyone on the African continent.
Sorry but it’s not true, black Americans still behind than others races in America, there is a lot of poor black Americans it’s disgusting to see them and black rich. There is a lot of poor Africans and rich Africans. If you go to Africa you don’t gonna see them because you’re not high class. If middle class Africa come here to USA they don’t gonna see the high class Americans it’s about status you’re understand now?
@@herminiayolandanchama6523 Your argument has a lot of assumptions and fallacies. Plus the grammar and sentence clarity is really bad so it's tough to understand half your argument.
As someone being from the DMV (DC, Maryland & Virginia) where this video was based in, the DMV has an incredible diverse population! We have a high amount of all immigrants from all over the world. I love growing up here because you see a bit of every culture.
So the Uber driver can't make it on $1500/week??? Something wrong with that. She can be an Uber driver in a cheaper city or be a nanny where she gets a free place to stay.
The United States of America was, is and would be the GREATEST COUNTRY in the history of the WORLD. God Bless America. I would be NOTHING without the United States of America and I am very grateful. This is why I have made the decision to enlist in the Army, to serve this GREAT nation full of opportunities and freedom.
I wish my African brothers and sisters did not let this European media bait them into this interview. To all my African brothers and sisters in 🇺🇸, I love you. I have no hatred or jealousy towards you. We have all suffered at the hands of Europeans. You wouldn't be here had they not colonized your country disallowing it to flourish and developed like any other country. I wouldn't be in America had they not enslaved OUR ancestors. It was by force that we were divided. It is now our choice to remain divided. We need to face these cultural barriors head on and forge an unbreakable bond between Africans and the African diaspora across the globe.
Come on let’s face it. It’s all about what you look like and the shade of your skin. Even if you’re from Africa, if your skin is light, and you don’t look “black” like the first woman interviewed on the screen at the beginning of the documentary, or you look like that Tunisian man managing a restaurant, it’s most likely that they are gonna be successful in America. They are also more likely to associate themselves with whiteness as that Tunisian man said while sitting on the bench- he’s proud to have a “blonde” with him. If you don’t look lighter skinned, you just might struggle more. Sorry but it’s an observatory inference.
They can avoid to assimilate and remain as subgroups just like some other immigrant groups like the amish or other sects. People who come from Malaysia, Bali, New Caledonia or east timor may also be confused with black americans, but that doesnt mean that they assimliate into the america of african americans. If you come to america to become a "Dalit" than you better stay at home.
Another perspective.. I never comment on videos.... but this documentary was completely misleading and in my humble opinion total grabrash from individuals and or entities seemingly with an agenda.. Most African American do not envy our other brothers and sisters from any where in the world...(FACT)...some individuals may, like any other group of people...but most don't....most could care less about anything but there own personal interest..... They are focused on surviving and or prosperity ...period when our brothers and sister's come to America from Africa ..they blend in and are treated just like all other native born dark skin citizens in this nation.. they experience the same experiences... some good and some bad; but most shall depend on region... If any one choses not to talk to other African Americans......like the 2 young ladies in the middle of this video (who where both total disgrace by the way and semmingly afro racists women).... it would be because of there own personal life experiences with others from there regions ... and there own personal lack of understanding of there newly adopted home country, and the attitudes of citizens in the region they chose to live.... DC and small towns and or cities in America are about as similar as, the DRC and Marocco are to each other... anyone who understands propaganda would understand why DC was chosen over central Florida or Georgia which both equally have very large African population, most notably west African populations. This documentary was total propaganda.... more anti American trash designed to confuse disconnect and or divide our brothers and sisters from other parts of the world... (something which has been going on for 100s of years, in a concentrated effort) How come no one seems to seek the truth from real African Americans?? How come there was not one native born American male or female of African origin in this documentary?? Do we not exist, or do our view not matters in content supposedly about us?? There are tons of west Africans and many other dark skin people from all over the world who live in my state, region and city ...(Tampa Florida.)... DC... is one of 1000s of cities in America.... one which has a very large black population. .. all regions in America do not have the same demographics.. thus all individuals would not have the same experiences. The Northeastern USA is not the same as the South, nor mid-south or mid-west or nort-west or west coast... (The south alone accounts for over 55% to 65% of Americas native born Black citizens; DC is in the north east...100s of miles away from the majority of Black Americans) America is a very large country....populated with people from all over the world... no one thinks the same in this nation; THIS CONCEPT APPLIES TO AFRICAN AMERICANS AS WELL. For the record..I love all beings in our world equally as God teaches us all to do... nevertheless I could no longer sit ideal for any more blatant misrepresentation of my people, Americans of African origin. Why would we envy anyone..when the rest of the world and most within our nation seems to emulate us for my entire life time.... from body types to hair style..music to sports.. we are copied and or emulated by all other cultures and more than any other group of people by far..... equally we are a major economic driver in the largest economy in the world unlike so many other groups who seeming get there due respect... African Americans account for an oversized percentage of consumer spending within said largest economy in the world...fueling factory from China to South America...fast food sales.. consuming massive amounts of oil and gas .. and tons of other consumer goods and services........ thus African American contribute more to the global economy than most nations in our world by far...(do the number on your own; if America accounts for 25% of the global economy and African American account for a major percentage of consumer spending; then unlike most in our world; African American help power the global economy.....(More hidden Facts ingored by all media outlets) Stop generalizing Dark skin people, and stop the global attempts at belittling African Americans. "We ain't sleep"
I am an African and will Ask you what dd u expect from a french media? They made sure to put black africans that are struggling in the US and not showing the ones that are doing vert well. They put a succesful tunisian l'arrivée to a white woman. Smh
Finally, someone said it when the woman spoke about African-American people being jealous of people from Africa, it seemed almost laughable I have friends of all races, all cultures, all skin colors, and I’ve never once ever been jealous of anyone from Africa
@@smikell9997 she doesn't know what she is talking about. I grew up in Montgomery County. Africans and Africans Americans get along really well. There are cultural differences but nothing more than that. Africans has been living here since in the 70s. Many she thinks are Africans Americans are actually first generation Africans born here. There are many African businesses whose clientele are mostly African Americans. This France 24 is French imperialist media that set up communities against each other. They were just kicked out of Burkina faso for the same reason. The unfortunate thing is this people don't have the wisdom to recognize that.
What's actually the point of doing this reportage? Very weird how you decided to make a piece on africans relations to african americans in the us instead of africans relations towards americans and american society.
Hmmm, in nyc we're black first then our backgrounds. Also, African Americans have historically been extremely proud of claiming their heritage/ancestry, etc. Maybe growing upin nyc is an exception but I've met so many proud people.
Fanny Alleard's comments definitley show how uninformed she is on subjects pertaining to African-Americans. Africans and African-Americans are not monolithic in our opinions yet we have more in common with each other than meets the eyes. We as African- Americans retained subtle ways that are the same as most West African societies. Most African Americans have a deep love for Africa in general. It is comments like Fanny Alleard that cause divison between African-Americans and Africans. I lived in Cote D' Ivorie for several years,and feel as much at home in Abidjan as I do in Atlanta. I would hope that my friends from The Gambia and Senegal would say the same about Atlanta. France 24 has a reputation for stiring up trouble anyway!!

To me this shows the beauty of being a melting pot and the French language. Although the history of colonization is a permanent stain, whenever I see Francophones discover each other, regardless of nationality or race, the language is an instant unifier
America is the best country in the whole world, I am from Africa and America has offered us Africans opportunities we would have never had in Africa and don't agree with some of the things I'm hearing from this channel......if not the best country in the world, why are people trying so hard to come to America...let us not be divided by nonsense love each other...
I hate that we still try to characterize ourselves as “African Americans” I’m American and Black, if you stuck on race, yes my origins from 300 years ago might be African but I never been there and only know what documentaries say about it. I claim American 🇺🇸 the good, the bad, and the ugly. I’m blessed that I was born here.
Most people are coming to America for this so called American Dream. The US is so overcrowded because there’s too many people living here. I say if you have a decent existence in your own country why come to America and work like a dog. Most people living today in America will never retire because everything is super expensive and most wages are not keeping up with inflation. This country is not same when my mother migrated from Jamaica in 1968.
I am an African American 🇺🇸 born to a African French speaking mother and a African Juba Arabic speaking father. Was educated in special education in the public school system.
Everyone coming to America should remember and give respect to Black Americans who paved the way with their blood sweat and tears, and show much respect to them. Thank you all Black America you are Awesome!
If it's too expensive to live where she's at, perhaps she should move to a less expensive area... I was in Nashville and used lyft and out of the 14 trips. Only one was originally an American. They drove nice cars and were glad they came to America.
Well giodluck for thise who think Anerica is the best, am south african i wont leave my country for america why because i see my country has benefit like America, Africa is the best soon Dollar is the end (Russia+China,South Africa)
America definitely provides a lot of fairness for people who can work and follow the rules but it's not fair to discredit any discrimination that people face. No country is perfect.
I don’t know where this African and African American came from I’m from the island and i keep hearing things, I don’t get that from the Caucasian’s I guess it’s just a thing.

As an African American preparing for a future trip to Africa, I was excited to watch this report. However, I am a bit disappointed by what this piece COULD have been. I think the framing is problematic without context which I believe the reporters don't fully grasp. All Africans are not equal. I do not doubt that skin color impacted the success of the Tunisian gentlemen. But also the stories were framed in ways that reinforces stereotypes ignorant people have about Black people...and how we spend our money. There is the Tunisian man working at his exclusive club sipping wine and sitting along a pier with his Blonde and daughter. But the Benin woman is depicted as leaving an executive position to drive ride share in the US, be seen living in a building most people wouldn't consider desireable. We know that shes in her late 40s and the piece mentions that she occasionally and beg her mom for money while showing her "treating" herself by getting her hair braided. Unfortunately, Black women can be discriminated for our hair and accordingly the maintenence and presentation of our hair is not a "treat." The young gentleman at the end "won the lottery" and is an IT Graduate but is seen working at a party as a DJ and the piece notes that he spent his money on this DJ equipment. Without presenting significant context, people may come away from this thinking that its all personal reaponsibility and if the Tunisian man can succeed, then ANY African can but because I know the conplexities of being Black in the US...there's no context about how hard it is to find work so this woman is driving ride share because a comparable executive position in the US us not an option. I would imagine the man would work in IT if he could but without context people may come away and think...this man got lucky, won the lottery, got an IT degree but he's just DJing at parties and obsessing with fancy tech. Its unfortunate. I'm also disappointed with any lack of speculation as to why the African population in the US may be growing... political instability...climate migration?
I'm an African person who lives and works literal blocks from where that Tunisian man's supper club is and the biggest omission this report makes is not talking about class. Not all immigrants are equal and this is very evident in the DC area where the largest African community is. Obviously the Tunisian man has been in the US for decades and has largely assimilated, the IT grad has only been here a few years but seems upwardly mobile, while the Beninese lady is clearly struggling and regretting her decision. Immigrating to the US inherently favors well educated migrants with resources, which is why migrants from India, Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa etc can seem successful (though not all are) and well off, while those who came as refugees such as Somalians, Afghans, Hmong and Sudanese are poorer and struggling. Most Americans rarely notice this because these groups are overshadowed by the much larger and more visible Hispanic community Also language plays a big role as well as it is clear the two men are fluent (Edwin is clearly a native speaker), while the lady from Benin appears to have a bit of a language barrier which hindered her career aspirations. It was also really disappointing to hear her comments on AA's. This is more of a thing with some West Africans, Southern Africans (where I'm from) would never say such things because we went through colonization until a generation or two ago and also lived with our colonizers, giving us a better understanding of US history. And finally to answer your question, immigration is largely driven by economic concerns and political instability. In many said countries it is hard to get ahead if you're not politically connected or come from wealth.
Kinda just sounds like you’re upset the news report didn’t enforce what ever preconceived opinions you have on race and ethnicity in America. I live in the DC area (as context). The Benin woman has prioritized her daughters education and Silver Spring, MD (specifically Montgomery County) public schools are some of the best in the country. The sacrifices she is will making to ensure her daughter’s education future are enviable. She’s paying a 25-50% monthly rent premium to live within zoning for that specific high school. And she’s working a job that allows her to schedule hours around her daughter. She could definitely find a job working with French speaking foreign emissaries, but DC hours are unpredictable and egregious. The Tunisian man was lucky enough to find a “blue collar” job not predicated on English abilities or technical knowledge, but a job which could still evolve into a “white collar” management job that pays very well. Edwin isn’t working as a DJ. He’s turning his hobby side gig. He’s indulging in his passion for music while sharing his culture. He’s not being materialistic about the turntable, he’s genuinely proud of having worked hard as heck for 3-4 years and has rewarded himself. The report was interesting in showing the unbiased and varied experiences of three different African immigrants. It was successful in that. Not everything needs to be politicized.
I’m sorry to say you are definitely going wrong with your analysis, and derailing others from the real context of the post. This is the supposed dj responding. Djing is just something I do on the side, and an additional source of income, and also something I love doing.
I have a different experience. The people who were kindest to me were African Americans. My fellow Africans and countrymen gave me some of the worst treatments I have ever received. But it depends on your personal experience I guess.
As a french speaking African migrant who has lived in this country for the past 15 years, I am deeply disturbed by the narrative being pushed in this France 24 propaganda alleging among other things that African Americans are somehow "racist" towards their fellow Africans. How far from the truth this is my friends.... The notion that there is jealousy or envy is so silly, it runs counter to the very principles that define this great nation, including notions like melting pot and "communitarianism", a term that french intellectuals abhorre for its offers social minorities a voice that is silenced in the existing french system. Africa had always been the land of opportunity for the French. While they are having a hard time finding prosperity in their land, they hope for the African continent once again to be its saving grace. The narrative at play here, another attempt to divide Africans from their AA brothers and sisters in order to expand their cultural influence on Africans living in the greatest country in the world casts doubts on its agenda. Under pressure from China and Russia, they once again resort to their dirty tricks and the narratives here are part of an effort to fight back in the virtual sphere, the French president Macron has directed their media with disinformation campaigns like these and foolishly we are falling for it. I am actually not that surprised that French-speaking Africans are making such pathetic rhetoric, as they have historically been subjected to the most intense media brainwash in all of Africa. France teaches us to be suspicious of all people who look like us and we learn from an early life to look for the french when we are in need so that explain that.
This was quite an eye opening post. Thank you for the insight on how the French Media works. I never knew that is something that they condition French speaking Africans to believe
They always do this. But I'm glad for the first time, I'm seeing ripples of a backlash in francophone Africa against France, a country in terminal decline.
Europe is much more racist than America. I went to college there. Black people are treated abominably and there's literally no hope of bettering yourself unless you're gifted in sports or music.
I'm a Black American who has visited Africa several times. My closest friends are all first generation immigrants from Nigeria and the Caribbean. This is some of the most egregious propaganda I have ever seen.
You are right. I am a Kenyan and my girlfriend is a beautiful African American woman from South Carolina. Most intelligent one I ever dated. I agree with you this article is divisive and pure propaganda
Brother, I see you're unfamiliar with the divide and conquer tactics of the French. Africans are not surprised one bit by this narrative from France 24.
LOL we give you Access to everything in France, ALL IS free for you, and yet you still hate us. There is no jobs for FRENCH NATIVE and you demand jobs for millions of Africans...
France 24 should focus on the racial problems in France and Europe, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Namibia etc everywhere that was settled by white France racial problems . France wiped out 1.5 million Algerians during independence struggle and has had unhealthy grip on west Africa . Haiti still paying France for liberation for freeing themselves . France Colonized New Orleans . 46 million black people in America . 3 million black from outside US . 2 million black people from the continent Africa in US . Insignificant . At least 1.3 billion black people in the continent . At least 90 million black in Brazil . At least 400 million black people in diaspora including afro-Jamaicans,afro-columbian,afro-mexican,afro-canadian,afro-british,afro-brazilian,afro Panamanian etc .Cannot use the experiences of a few people to generalize .
What a weird report , quite biased. The DMV is home to probably the most successful African immigrants in the world with now 1st and 2nd Gen kids . The executive from Benin moved to a country without the appropriate immigration paper work , does not speak its language and is not destitute , that alone is a miracle .
I knew when I saw France in the title of this documentary that Divide and Conquer propaganda would be the theme. France should be paying reparations in several African countries.
Many Americans are unable to achieve the "American dream". I've dealt with SO many immigrants, refugees, who come to the US and expect our government to completely support them. Only in the US do taxpayers have to foot the bill for children in public schools who cannot speak English. People are here for DECADES and never bother to learn the language or to teach their children. WE have to pay for translators each and every time a child is unable to understand the language. So disrespectful If an individual needs rescue, that person should at least contribute to this country, should ABSOLUTELY learn English. I don't think people should be permitted to stay in ANY country if they refuse to learn and contribute. We have our own citizens to look after.
If the American dream is such an illusion so why are they still here? So disrespectful while they own countries don’t even look after their own citizens.
@@gbb82 Of course. No one is allowed to have any opinions whatsoever. Say anything and you're xenophobic or racist or cruel. Tell that to the thousands of "working poor" Americans who work full time jobs and can't feed their children. Try to cross the border of France, Germany, Spain... Tell them you have nothing to contribute but want a better life... The fact is that there ARE ways to LEGALLY enter the US and people interested in living here need to do so legally. American citizens deserve some modicum of consideration and protection.
The chief colonialist’s mouthpiece at work!!!😂😂😂. Why don’t you guys do a documentary detailing the crimes committed and still being committed by France!!
As a black American its sad that there is any kind of issues between black Americans and the people from Africa. We all are trying to accomplish the same thing a better life. All i can say is not all african Americans are bad, there are many of us that are good people.❤❤
There aren't any issue worth highlighting. Yes we have differences. We also have a lot of similarities and share many common goals. Anyone bringing attention to such "issues" is either naive or has malicious intents.
Whats the surprise. In Europe people from ethiopia, nigeria, ghana, somalia havent any peraonal contact, the same as immigrants from eastern europe like poand, romania, bulgaria. No petsonal contact. Also there is no personal contact between indian immigranta anfld gypsies and romani, altough romani were classified as a foreign indian tribe ny indian government, they also look similar. So why should there be any contact between african immigrants who dont even mingle among themselves with african americans, only because they look similar? . Why does noone reflect the case on the relation between indians and roma, or between indigenous american immigrants from latin america andnative americas? Its funny
@@gratefuldead3750actually native tribes actually support each other in their dispora because they understand the power of white supremacy is to be pushed back on we are the only ones who dont understand why unity is important
@sabrinamadison8769 Grovel for yourself Sabrina, the majority of Black Americans isn't falling for the lies, grifting, and complete bull S. Black Americans control more revenue, own more land and intellectual property in the U.S. than Africans. Had it not been for us, the Africans in the U.S. would be begging someone to build bore holes and carrying water on their heads instead using a tap.
In the coming time, America will lag behind India because the coming future is only India and India is a young country, here the population of 80 crores is 18-24 and you people will dream of coming to India.
I have never met a Black American who was jealous of Africans. And Black Americans know where we come from too. We have been in the Americas for centuries, even long before the transatlantic slave trade. Not all black Americans were sold from Africa as slaves. I personally love Africans and have many friends from Africa, as a child and now as an adult. I love everything about African culture. But I also love my black American culture and don’t not feel any jealousy towards Africans.
She's wrong and just projecting! As an FBA( Foundational Black American) and for the ones that I know ( and that's a lot!) we do not harbor any ill feelings toward any immigrants, especially not the ones from Africa. Most FBAs understand we have carved our own history here and we have shaped our own culture. Our Black American culture is so strong, it tends to overshadow some of the other cultures in the Diaspora, which created some resentment towards us. FBA are survivors of many atrocities which strengthens us to be tougher, and more diligent in the movement to progress our people to the next level in the US. Now Africans are coming to America because of our successes, and they want to be part of it as well. Our community will always welcome you, but please don't hate on us for what we created outside of Africa.
😢 Angela Basset wanna win Oscar award with Black Panther right? No way, it’s about Africa, why not slave movie she can play very well about slave and claim Oscar award
@@herminiayolandanchama6523 One thing I’ve learned on social media is: Folks who call themselves “FBA” are usually unhappy with their lives. It’s best to not give them a response whenever you see their comments
@@kevo6776 one thing I see about immigrants on social media who have immigrant flag in their bio ! Is that they always run away from their homeland, only to have envy & contempt and jealousy towards black Americans
Hahaha love the red haired girl she picked up completely dispelling the stereotype of Americans not knowing about anything outside of the US and pointing out that Benin is next to Togo.
People are downplaying someones experiences the social dynamics are different here you have to find your tribe...its not easy and some friendships are superficial! All i can say is know what you came for hustle and grind and you will meet people who will align with you... I appreciate America for it has opportunities be willing to work hard ...I cleaned after people which coming from suburban home in the motherland was what my friends back home would never do! It made me humble and also challenged me to continue working towards better as this was something temporary so yes opportunities are here
In the coming time, America will lag behind India because the coming future is only India and India is a young country, here the population of 80 crores is 18-24 and you people will dream of coming to India. 🇮🇳🇮🇳
