    She's one of the many African people who know absolutely nothing about the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Her perspective is common. There are elders who to this day don't know what happened to relatives that went hunting and just disappeared generations ago. Now it's like they think there are bags of gold waiting for you at the airport. It's crazy. Black people on this planet need to understand our collective history and our present reality. It's so complex.

    Now that I’m older, I really think they are strong people and overcame a lot. I’m also saddened by the breakdown in family values and community same as I am in my own Country.

      WP are behind the degradation of the AA communities. The education is intentionally substandard, which really is a determining factor in your future success! Harassment and massive incarceration of AAM, and this does not include the actual criminals. The massive incarceration took men out of the communities but simultaneously promoted gay encounters between men in prisons and outside. These gay encounters result in high rates of diseases, particularly AIDs, because they lie and say they are not gay. AAW has the highest rates of HIV in the country as a result. Grown men raping boys and other men. These men hate their own women and children and help further destroy our communities. WM ship military grade weapons into our communities via trains and tractor-trailers and distributed without cost. Note, all guns are coming from just 6 gun manufacturers and have serial numbers and are highly regulated . The train companies are in on this, including law enforcement.
      It is sooo obvious that I warned my boys in elementary school that when they enter middle school, they will be approached and be offered to buy a gun for less than 40.00. I also taught them that that same gun would cost me about three to four hundred dollars to buy legally! I taught them it was the WM trap to get you to murder your own people, which is self genocide ! So fast forward when they got in middle school they were approached and offered 🔫 guns for 40.00 dollars. They turned them down due to my teachings and still do not own guns even though I think that they should look into purchasing them now due to off the chain crime !

      The breakdown of family values starts from trans Atlantic slavery… children taken from parents, not being able to legally marry and forced to have children with slave masters (or worse in jamaica, where the term “mother fu@@er” comes from).
      The breakdown in family originated from what most of the world forgets or acknowledges including our brothers and sisters in west Africa and South Africa.
      Fast forward to the welfare system and that’s a whole other conversation… it’s goes too deep to even explain

      It was an African You Tuber or on some social media platform said that before they came to America, white ppl were telling them to stay away from black Americans and things like that. There were Africans in the comments telling her to take it down like she was starting mess. I already felt that they were talking down on us to them. I see Africans going to white churches but the city I'm from, I don't see Africans going to church with black Americans . I see some black Americans going to African churches with African pastors. I've even visited. White ppl caused division in the black communities from separating families, didn't want for us to learn and now they bash us for not a lot of black ppl not being in a two family household and make fun of how a lot of us talk..they intentionally caused division in light and dark skin ppl that still is strong today. They've done so much damage and let them tell it, it was so long ago and get over it. Things are still going on. The '60's weren't that long ago and all the marchings that had to be held to be able to get a good education in a school where white ppl went.
      As long as they can keep dividing black ppl and black ppl from Africans, they know they can have some kind of hold on us. When ALL black ppl come together, we would be unstoppable!

After that I was swamped with people holding there hands out asking me for money. I learned real quick not to ever openly give someone money in Ethiopia. They think that in america, the streets are lined with gold and you're living in heaven. They dont know a damn thing about life over here until they get here and taste the reality of this life!

      Who do you think send TV programs to Africa? We grew up watching the worse things about African Americans on TV besides Micheal Jackson and a few others. In Nigeria we see white supremacy living well on TV and the AA not doing well. The white man tells us that they were given every opportunity but they were lazy and refused the to work m, go to school or chase money when it’s there for the taking. No one tells us about institutionalised racism and state sponsored discrimination, violence against black communities etc. It is always a shock to grow up and see the realities of the AA. As an African in breaks you, here you thought one group of blacks people are living the life, at least half of them who choose to. Then you see a police kneel down in the throat of your king distant relative and kill him deliberately then the veil falls from your eyes abc you see the most evil creatures that ever walked the Earth and his skin is pink even if he claims he is white. You start to ask questions while others burry their head in the sand afraid to find out the truth. The average Africans are still like that. No body thought I’d our own history in school. 75% plus of 1.4 billion under the age of 30 if you count the Arabs. None of them understand colonialism or the slave trade, proper evil of racism until they are adults. Our leaders let us down. African migrants will stay in Africa if they were thought in childhood about how evil the shire man is and the fact that he is incapable of change so long as he remains dominant. And that is why Africa is so poor instead of being the richest continent enjoying its own wealth. A complete lack of knowledge and how to turn our perception around and change our horrible faith.

    Most of you commenting here are totally oblivious to how hip hop culture has influenced the world. When we see artistes with heavy chains and very expensive jewelry, expensive cars etc so definitely we would think that all black Americans are like that. When you glorify gang culture, violence and verbally abuse women in the lyrics of your music, we definitely think that's how you folks are. We watch your media and always see young black adults killing each other in Chicago like flies, in Boston, Detroit and many of these inner cities and then protest when a white person says the N word 🤔. We always ask ourselves why white people aren't killing each other like this at this rate? Young black women give birth to multiple children with different fathers and and it's seen as normal and not a problem. Because of failed leadership in our African countries which have made it nearly impossible to thrive under the conditions we're in, we find America to be a land full of opportunities. A lot of our people go there and make it big and live good lives. They say the system works if you're willing to work hard. They just say don't marry an American woman because she'll wait till you've made it then divorce you and take all your money and your children. These are many of the perception of black Americans that we have just from observation. In light of all these observations, it then begs the question that if black Americans are racially oppressed as they always say, why is it the case that when Nigerians, Ghanaians, Kenyans and other African groups get there, they do exceptionally well? Last time I checked, we're all black and the only reasonable answer I can come up with is that the culture is different. A lot of vices are being glorified in the black American community which Africans would never tolerate. And because of the glorification of these vices overtime, it just became part and parcel of black American culture which has generations of damaging effects on the community. This is how a lot of us Africans see things from the outside.

If you actually knew what you were talking about you would know white on white crime here is major. The country is majority white. DUH. White people are killing themselves all the time. The people who get killed the most by the police are white.

However, we are the ones fighting that African stereotype here in America because we have dealt with the same thing here from day one to precent day. Yet, when we try to school Immigrants on the lay of the land, many turn their nose up and accept the lies told about us. It's not until they feel the reality, that they come back calling us "brother". Let me return your question to you. Why is it that African Americans go to Africa and do better than many Africans? Why is it that our collective spending power is more than practically every African countries GDP? Your type of thinking is what's holding the continent back.

Cognitive dissonance and indoctrination are still very big factors and separatist agenda (divide and conquer) is still clearly working very well, true to “their” plan (by this I mean the powers that be not white people because they experience poverty and so called “inner city” recklessness here too i.e. trailer parks / trailer “trash”).

    We’re dealing with generations of trauma over here. Our ancestors were brutalized , tortured, raped, mangled, burned alive, eaten. When we finally got our freedom we still had to fight to stay alive. There were groups and cults like the kkk made to instill fear into us, we’ve had icons like Martin Luther king, and Malcom x who fought for our freedom gunned down and executed. We have pave the way for so many minorities and yet they still try and disregard, discredit and spit on our achievements.

    This stereotype was one of the more tame and polite stereotypes about AA/black Americans from a west African… the issue is that a lot of black people from other countries do not know the history of black Americans.
    To this day, we are still discriminated against (micro and macro aggression). The subtle and not so subtle inequalities still persist.
    We live in the “land of opportunity” but that opportunity is not for us because we will never be seen as 100 percent citizens.

    She said something that we must all take from this,
    Before mentioning that, I must say... I have an analogy of those of us in the diaspora...
    Like a Soul sent to earth to gain experience in order to eventually return after that life in order to ADD to the continued evolvement of the all...
    Those at home have their work cut out for them as well to maintain the sacred ness and hold the community of wholesome oneness together as they hold the barriers up against outside, forces, foreigners, and invaders....
    What they of home see in us... We see in them...
    But... It's not money...
    We both have something the other needs...
    We both seek huge need for opportunity,
    The closeness and support of family...
    Freedom of expression...
    To be safe and confident in our own skin...
    To be of community against all odds...
    To bring back required logistics both sides require to remain our sacred selves, without becoming totally currupt by the same matrix doing the damage to us in the first place...
    The system realized a long time ago, that we are a different type of people who operate more inner(mentally & spiritually),
    than outer ( materialistically), leaving or separating ourselves from Source Creator...
    Some mention we are not from the continent...
    We all are, we were simply sent out or off the continent at different times, for different projects, to accomplish different things ...
    If Source says game over and everyone out on assignment is to return home....
    Because Source may plan to make the continent like Ark and sink the rest...
    Yet you have those arguing that they are not of the continent...
    Well... As they say... They'll go down with a ship that was never really theirs...
    Put another way, a hard head make a soft or life ending behind ...
    We are One people of One Source, Created and operated by Source with the ability of free will and free choice...
    Which we have actually given away to the matrix,
    By not realizing our gift of magic....
    Which is believing through thought...
    Whatever we believe is manifested... Good or Bad
    Everyone knows that about us except us...
    We can change anything by believing...

    When I was a nurse in Colorado, I worked with a bunch of Kenyan men, that were CNA's. Some of them were truck drivers in New York, before that. They were sending their money home and buying land, houses, etc. They had conservative values and views. They liked to wear suits and drive nice cars.
    One of them really wanted me to think that there were no starving children in Kenya and we were being played. They just took our money. They would complain about the price of avocados and say we were stupid for paying so much money for them. Lol I guess they grow everywhere in Kenya.
    They did not like African Americans at all. I think mostly because the cities they drove trucks in were dangerous. I know one of them was robbed. They did not like the gangster persona, etc. They never even heard the word ni***r before coming here.
    They were some of my favorite people, they loved God, had good work ethic, funny, kind hearted, etc.

      Wealth comes from value added services not just natural resources. So just having lots of natural resources doesn’t automatically equate to wealth. You need a stable economy, an educated work force, infrastructure, capital, healthy business environment, and non of those things come easily especially when there are stronger foreign countries who benefit from you remaining poor and politically unstable. So, for the average citizen I’m afraid the opportunity isn’t there.
