I was in class with a guy from Ethiopia. My mindset was that there is limited opportunity but this guy kept telling me that the US is paradise. He inspired me and so glad I met this guy. He opened my eyes and I started looking outside the box.
😮 I know Ethiopian who say its extremely hard in this country because all you do is work and it's astoundingly work hectic
Funny that she said Americans were very friendly, I've thought that every African I've ever met was super friendly!
Thank you, from South Africa. 😀 I think it has to do with all the violence we have here, when we move to a safer country like USA, everyone seems friendly because we have a culture that we smile and greet people, especially in shops. It's just a African thing, or more a South African thing👍🏽
African people are the most polite and friendly people i’ve ever seen
@@SoniaJbrt that should be an EVERYBODY thing! 😎
U rite but for real American are very friendly country
Bro my first nuclear engineering prof is an african immigrant. Brilliant man! He helped me start my double major, also he is very conservative
Must be Nigerian .
Yes! My wife works with a ton of African immigrants whose pay are well above any of their counter parts. Not because they're oppressed but because their mindset is vastly different.
We have a young couple at church who came here from Africa as young teenagers, separately they managed to learn English, both quickly catching up with their H.S. classmates, next they made it through college where they met. They'd accomplished all this in a few short years while working full time jobs! He became an engineer, she went on to medical school, she's now a doctor and continuing her education! Through all this they've managed to buy a beautiful home, have two beautiful children, a boy and a girl, both toddlers, and live a happy wonderfully blessed life, though they are extremely busy they never miss a church service, and they honor God in everything they do! IMHO, along with all the hard work, a reason for all their success!
I agree! If you are willing to do anything to become rich or to live comfortably. Or If you are good at following orders and compromise your integrity and beliefs to receive a paycheck or Fiat money; you will do well in America. Working hard to make these corporations rich is the key to success.
@@TheGeeLuv Ok then do work for Fiat money. You hate corporations yet you use youtube .lmao.Hypocrisy at its finest.
Of course their mindset is Desi different, they didn't grow up under apartheid extremely harsh racism and Jim Crow. When we black Americans first got out of slavery our mind set were different too, we were ready to go, ready for success. But unfortunately or white people had other things in mind. We will open up our own businesses, literally ex-slave we're buying Back Plantation from their own slave masters, they were buying Farms, opening up their own schools, being elected to office everything was ready to go, and then white people took all of that way, created a harsh racist system, and now we have the mindset that we have America is racist will always be racist.
White people tend to love Africans. African immigrants in America did not experience what black Americans did and they usually bring over the educated Africans not just some random person. Some are re-entering college in America.
I’m from Canada, so here’s what I’ve observed in my country. African immigrants, be they from Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, etc, and even many Caribbean immigrants from Jamaica and elsewhere, are basically like most other immigrants. They are hard-working, family-oriented, value education, and have a sense of community. Although a funny thing happens when they have children born or raised in Canada, in all too many cases. Some of their kids start to “go native” with the more North American black culture, often picked up from the education system, popular culture, and their black friends. This has created some tensions and differences within some African and Caribbean immigrant families. You’ll sometimes see things like Jamaican or Somali parents who get jobs or run businesses to support their families and enjoy all the opportunities that Canada has to offer, but their kids start getting into some of the more off-colour hip-hop music, or gang culture, or the whole BLM-style black victimology narrative, often because they start mingling with certain crowds of friends. Fortunately, some parents are able to pass on their more traditional culture and values, so their kids don’t get sucked into all that other negative stuff.
Yeah, what you have said is true, Imran. It’s very prevalent. I see that happening all the time. It’s as if they begin identifying with color, which is a simple minded and lazy way of categorizing individuals. They feel the need to seek validation by “acting black” = ie. picking up degenerative behaviours and lifestyle choices.
In comparison to immigrants from the Caribbean or Africa, our immigration system operates in a manner similar to that of academic selection . Other than for refugees, the US immigration system is SELECTIVE and favors professionals like doctors and engineers who can be fast tracked to permanent residency. The processing for the diversity lottery, H1B and EB1-5 visas is evidence of it, as is the Immigration Act of 1990. Our immigration system favors and selects persons with particular educational qualifications and vocations as well as those economically solvent (aside from refugees) over the poor and illiterate, which results in biased statistics for comparison.
You would be better off teaching your children values back home with your ancestors. Take all your education and hard work to build your OWN country. Instead of helping keep another country rich, go back home to your 3rd World country and make your own country the top 10 richest countries.
Happens with native white and Asian kids as well...hip hop culture is really strong.
@@joyjoyjoyful Just another racist guy looking down on Black folk, calling their culture “degenerate.”
It doesn’t matter where you come from, you have to be motivated to succeed and without it you will fail. It’s just that simple.
well said, brava.
She is 100% WRONG. Nigerians or any legal immigrant group excelling is simply a direct result of the US immigration system working as deigned and its inbuilt selection process. The immigration process could have a preference for height and we would then get taller people on average. Therefore since certain educations and professions are given higher priority such as in medicine, and engineering we get a cherry picked population. Nigeria being a place where people are looking to leave in large number so we get the Petit Bourgeois or better. Not many doctors from Sweden or Germany looking to come to the US.
It does not matter. In comparison to immigrants from the Caribbean or Africa to AAs, our immigration system operates in a manner to select the better candidates . Other than for refugees, the US immigration system is SELECTIVE and favors professionals like doctors, engineers and those economically solvent who can be fast tracked to permanent residency. The processing of H1B and EB1-5 visas is evidence of it, as is the Immigration Act of 1990 as well as the approval process for the I-140. Our immigration system favors and selects persons with particular qualifications and vocations over the poor and illiterate, which results in biased statistics for comparison.
Black foreigners fail to realize while fleeing their homeland to build in another country, you currently have foreigners gaining a STRONG foothold in your land. In the next 10 years, the Asians and Pale middle Eastern will be the new Africans and Carribieans. Sadly, this is what happened to Eygpt. GO BACK HOME TO FIGHT FOR YOUR LAND AND BUILD YOUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRIES BACK UP.
@@PerseusManchild You do understand that there are lot of Asians immigrated to America and made their kids successful while doing blue collar jobs .lmao
I have known many Africans and they have a VERY strong family culture while keeping with their values. In my mostly white community, African immigrants are looked upon very positively to the point their shops intergrate with shops around white sects and everyone gets along
Delightful interview. Blessings from Tony, Sydney, Australia.
I taught at a bachelor's level in a state university and I saw exactly that amongst black students. The ones that were there just because versus the ones that really wanted to succeed.
I am from Zimbabwe and support Trump
I work with a lot of African immigrants, and they all do too.
God Bless You! Your more American then most American's!
@@jamescarter8895 am yet to see a proof that shows that Trump actually said that
he called your country a shithole and you support him 💀💀
@@servantofallah5400 , you probably didn't understand why and that's ok...
yep, exactly right. Im currently in the UK and love the USA, values the country was built upon are great. Im a conservative and want to move there not for me but my future children. I want them to have more opportunities than I did and the USA is the greatest country the world has ever seen.
we black Americans made it great.
I've been to Sierra Leone west Africa. Also lived in the predominantly black projects. My black friends from the 40s and 50s had intact families and were similar to the African family cultures. All changed after the Democratic party with President Johnson introduced the "Great American Society", also known as the Welfare state. That destroyed the black american family. Crack was next. No comparison now to African immigrants, Totally different culture.
That's right, but many AAs don't even know that. The Democratic party destroyed and is still destroying the AA community.
💯
I agree I’m African but I loved the fact that African American used to have a strong family culture,but now it is so different that black people are hating to each other .

Destroyed what???? According to US census reports in1960 in the US the poverty rate for AAs was 45%, High School grad rate was 22%, the college graduation rate was 4.8%. In 2019 the poverty rate was 18.8% (lowest ever recorded) which is over a 50% DECREASE. The HS grad rate is nearly 90% in near parity with the national average and over 400% increase. The college graduation rate is over 26% an OVER 500% INCREASE. Life expectancy is higher today than ever better. Crime has DECREASED by nearly 1/2 since the 1990s. Teenage pregnancy is at its lowest rate ever In every measurement Black America has improved. If AAs have culture that does not value education and low crime how did this happen? FACTS MATTER! Please do some research.
Welfare was created for Caucasian women because of the Great Depression, and they did not have men in the household because of the war or poverty. The original ghettos were Jews, Italians, and the Irish when they migrated in the 1900s. These same people turned around and brutally took foundational American land or properties; this is documented if you are willing to do the research. Currently, there are more white people on food stamps and government assistants than Foundational Americans. Please go to the Congress of Library or a Research library to do proper research. Do NOT rely on these online counterfeit tethers sites for information.
I had a friend from Kenya who did pretty well for himself and didn't buy into any of this victimhood crap. It's all just manipulation.
I am in Kenya. Currently working very hard to improve my coding skills so that i can land a job in US either remotely or via relocation. This is because American dream is still very real. You can easily make it if you make it to US and work hard.I have seen several of my countrymen who relocated to US who are doing very well. Americans, don't fall for the rhetoric from the left.America is truly an amazing country
Hey, how do you fix systematic racism? MORE systematic racism according to the left!!
give up you institutional power.
America sounds wonderful! If only we could immigrate, I know I would be able to get a good job and my husband as well, and that we would be absolutely debt free. Here in South Africa, my husband is very blessed to have a permanent job. People just have to be smart enough, and that has nothing to do with education, to make a good life for their family in America.
Education, common courtesy, hard work, a good family structure. Not a victim/ you owe me mindset
And how is that different from the white community which does the same?
Not a victim they didn't go through, they didn't experience extreme hard racism we African Americans were not victims either until we became victims. And by the way, none of these Africans would never have access to American Opportunity if black Americans did not fight evil white prejudices
My family and I came to the US on a BOAT, with nothing, from a nonwhite country and we've prospered bc our work. US born citizens (of all races) complain and remain stuck bc they're waiting for someone else to hand them something. Better get a clue.
Agreed, some people are waiting on someone, something, but the power is within them. I just really hard to see that for everyone.
Shut up
You fled your homeland for inhuman living conditions and came to America solely in survival mode. MANY Americans who built this country and made America wealthy are tired of being overworked and underpaid while the 1% reap the benefits. Most of the jobs you folks have, we already had. The only ones who want your jobs are the idiots!
No natural, because the America that you're coming from was built by those same American ancestors, unfortunately your ancestors did not build anything for you, and as a result you're fleeing and running away
Africans in America don’t pretend to be victims because most understand the real struggle. Proud Cameroonian American🇺🇸
Being proud is going back home to fight and help build your 3rd world country to become the top 10 richest countries.....that is truly proud! Fleeing to work hard to make another country rich other than your own is insane.
The English speakers in your country know what victimization is all about ...why don't you ask them ? Oh I forgot...they will cut you down with an Andrei Kalishnikov!
@@TheGeeLuv who told you we don't? In Kenya the real estate sector relies a lot on overseas citizens. And when we talk about immigration, we're not only talking about America; africans are immigrating to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, EU, South Korea, China, Japan (yes, ive met african expatriate in those places) and other places you cant imagine, and wherever they are, they're just getting the same results like in the USA. We move in search of opportunities we cant get at home, because, sadly, Africa is at a different stage of development. For example it makes sense to work as an aerospace engineer in America or Europe because they have world class space programmes, get it?
@@snownfire If you all take that dedicated hard work and diligently achieve success back home to fight and rebuild your country, You all would have your own space program as well as the wealthiest continents in the world. I would love to hear your country in Africa was the first to visit a new planet.
You know, y’all keep saying that but the reason most Africans migrate is because of the major oppression in Africa. The reason why most Africans do well abroad is because they have been actually oppressed by their own and so they have come to realize it’s just human nature to want to act that way when in power. So what happens when Africans leave home, they see the oppression going on but do not be fooled, it is nothing compared to what goes on in Africa and they see AAs complaining and it is hilarious because imagine going through worse at the hands of one of your own.
3 years ago, innocent people were shot at in a public space while singing the national anthem by the Nigerian army for protesting against police brutality, public figures, celebrities in the country were part of these people and they were shot at. Nobody lost a job, nobody was punished, an investigation carried out, people found guilty but not one penalized. Not saying y’all don’t go through it but we see the world for what it is, choose the lesser of two evils and keep going till we get what we want or die trying.
The culture and mentality are the difference. Africans are family-oriented and conservatives, as they take their traditions and culture seriously and try to maintain them. They want to marry, they want to have children. They tend to follow traditional gender dynamics. This is the exact opposite of what the left and BLM advocate.
I see a lot of doctors from Nigeria, it's all about hard working and taking responsibilities.
After COVID and strict government regulation policies, MANY Doctors are struggling to stay in their field. They are leaving in record numbers. Doctors are going broke or underpaid and overworked.
Dinesh d'souza explained this well. Immigrants compare their home countries to America while native born compare America to a visible utopia.
Ayaan stated, most people in the West pissed on freedom because they've never experienced what it like not to have freedom.
Having a victim mentality is beyond offensive to the people who fought for our freedoms, they probably couldn’t fathom that people would be ungrateful to live in the land of the free.
black Americans don't have a victim mentality, we understand where we are and who runs it, and we don't allow ourselves to be stomped on anymore.
@@bobbyschannel349 Exactlyyyyyyyyyyyy
As an actual African immigrant from Liberia living in America with a Master's degree . The reason we do well is because contrary to popular belief we have a good amount of money inside our families that we can ask to use to get ahead . Most black Americans don't have that luxury
But your a success story in America and not in your home country?
@@Operator-Six your name signals to me "Do not engage" . Have a blessed day 🤣
@@Operator-Six Indian, levantine etc the same. Half of india is starving
Good point!
This should be discussed more in the black community. I’ve been thinking about this for years. I’m African American and my husband is from Ghana. We’ve had several discussions about this and I think that Africa Americans could greatly benefit from practicing some of what’s been successful for blacks from Africa and the Caribbean.
Self-hater.
@@halbleavy9900 you sound emotional and defensive 😭 why don’t you continue voting for Democrats, just give them another chance, they’ll save you 😭
@@joyjoyjoyful You sound obsessed with Black people. We represent 13% to your 60% of the American population and the only thing you republicans worry about more than us is a person's "pee-pee". It's really clinical this mental illness most of you share. I've never seen anything like it before in my life. Go away digi-karen, LOL! USA, USA, USA!
They are currently doing this in Washington, DC. I remember Georgia Avenue had large populations of African and Caribbean businesses and homes. Gentrification has caused Africans and West Indians to relocate to other states. Ufortunelty, there are barely any African or West Indian stores left.
what are you talking about black Americans are successful... we came from nothing and build all the way up from scratch.. nothing any other group can do for us we cant do for self..
I truly think it depends on where you settle in the USA. But I think the bigger reason many of us succeed in the US is due to our African culture, community expectations and the sacrifices made to secure our arrival and success in the US. None of us want to visit home with nithing to show for our time in the great U.S of A....it is fundamentally disrespectful and dishonorable to our parents and ultimately our ancestors.
Hip hop and rap is an integral part of the black americans culture. From songs to the lifestyle to the way they speak. This is why we black Americans are not moving forward. Look at the people our kids look up to. They swear, drink, do drugs, party, and disrespect black woman. That's why black americans kids that are raised in the white suburbs have a higher chance of being successful.
It's true young Black men from Africa are working at Pratt & Whitney making over 100k a year.
Yeah it's a black Americans a long time to make that happen, literally almost 100 years because during Jim Crow that was not possible we black Americans made that possible.
@@bobbyschannel349 Search for the life of the First Female Black Licensed pilot. She made her dream happen. She is not alone.
My question is why didnt they succeed there? Why are you hyping yourselves up when you arent doing anything to fix the problems in your own countries?
Well start discussing then
Because there are no opportunities, African leaders tend to be corrupt and unlike other places where you’re even given room to breathe, it is suffocating here
Quick story, had an election recently, people were actually threatened and some tortured for not voting some select people. You can’t do anything here without risking your life, that’s why Africans see what happens outside as child’s play. It really is mad hilarious when y’all complain
Lol never answe that question
@@amadani6106 so you are lumping the 2nd largest continent all together as 1 entity like uneducated people do? All 54 countries are the same? That's just shameful.
I'm from Tanzania 🇹🇿I'm surely intending to came to America to fulfill my dream, cs American is the only country in the world were dreams are kept
We'd like Americans have made that possible through sweat Blood and Tears remember that when you get here, be remembered that this country was not an Open Country to black people it was astoundingly racist, we black Americans had to work hard to make that possible. And it took a lot of work. So remember that this country was not open to all immigrant only up untill 50 years ago.
America is fallikf but by bit. More and more americans are living for europe, asia, latin ameriics and even africa. Nah am goid right here
Beautiful, intelligent women!! So wonderful to witness.
A country with upward mobility puts people who are born in poverty and maintain poverty throughout life a draining feeling. In Zimbabwe you can be poor and be content with poverty.
Stop justifying mediocrity. You’ve got the opportunity to move up a social class, so take it.
You cannot argue on the basis of logic with those who reject reality.
Your logic is not sound as Spock would say ...study you history very carefully and reality will appear before your eyes. Someone who is privileged cannot see what the oppressed see and feel everyday.
@@georgeodongo4734 Yes, follow your own advice and study YOUR history very carefully, look inward for the answer not outward. We as a species only VERY recently entered an era that renders slavery LESS useful than free people, elevated morals isn't ending slavery, the basic economics of the needed labor force is. That is why slavery is ending worldwide. It has not ended yet, at least not worldwide, but it is on its way out... unless CERTAIN groups of elitists push us back into a broken archaic system where slavery retains its value. That is what needs to be addressed, stopping those who would shove us backwards into an old world society where ignorant, brute labor has value. We need to move forward into this society before us where educated, competent, skillful labor is required, Slaves cannot fill those positions, therefore slavery is in no one's best interest.
Regions that have yet to industrialize are the only regions that have need of ignorant brute labor, labor perfectly suited for slaves. That is a trap as regions that use slave labor don't want educated, competent, and skilled populations as they resist slave labor, and thus they eliminate those who try to elevate society, thus trapping them in this quagmire to repeat the same tragedy generation after generation. This is why many regions of Africa, and Asia still have slave labor. Introduce Industrialization, and slavery will end there in 2 or 3 generations.
Why do you think these elitists keep claiming that the environment needs us to stop industrialization? Look at the environment in non industrialized regions... It is horrible. These elitists aren't interested in protecting the environment, they are protecting a system of slavery.
Very logical sir...now I have insight on why the South held on to slavery for so long . Thanks for your detailed reply.
@@georgeodongo4734 It holds true across the globe... Look at Europe, it wasn't "Western Morals" that ended slavery in Europe, it was industrialization. Though Western Morals more easily permitted the end of slavery, they certainly didn't bring about the end of slavery, as they had those morals for centuries, but serfdom and SLAVery (where the word comes from) still persisted. Only industrialization gave economic incentive to elevate your populace.
And yes, the lack of industrialization in the south was what permitted slavery to persist longer than in the north. The Plantation owners did NOT want industrialization, it would end their way of life.
The slave owners that did industrialize, freed their slaves even before the Civil War, as they were a net financial drain, and that is why many southern states passed laws forbidding freeing their slaves, to force people to keep them and thus increase pressure to reject industrialization.
Now look at those seeking to limit industrialization across the globe. They are the ones limiting freedom and oppressing people. Because it financially benefits them to limit the spread of industrialization.
Both r beautiful, intelligent ladies.
Caribbean immigrants do well also
Every african immigrant does well besides african Americans. Its a culture issue like Candance is saying
I love this topic. Am an international student from Kenya and am going to school in Idaho, majoring in welding engineering. Because of my major I tend to be the only girl and black person in my class. And I never feel anything weird. Everyone treats me very well and that allows me to get very good grades.
It was the same thing that happened to me when I first came. I wondered why are African Americans always complain about not getting opportunities while me as an immigrant I am able to pay for my school fees, stay in a good house and even get job opportunities?? I think it’s a cultural problem among them. I came to america with $10 and soon I will be graduating with a degree in engineering.
Go girl!❤️ This is so true
Monicah in Kenya you are privileged...I will not go into details but I know you know why. Ask the " average" Kenyan to describe victimization and they will spell it out for you in plain Kiswahili. Stop living in lala land...wake up and smell the coffee. Be real please and stop being fake.
@@georgeodongo4734 am not privileged. What part of this conversation makes me privileged?? Please explain it to me because I would really like to know so that I can start acting privileged.
An inconvenient truth...to the left.
Exactly!!!
I rent to several African families and they love it here. They all work or go to school or work and go to school.
Wow! Working and going to school is really living the dream life. You go to school to work for someone to make them rich or keep them rich. You work hard while the wealthy are out vacationing in your homeland in 5-star hotel resorts while having your people serve them like slaves. I travel to a lot of the 3rd world countries and I see it all the time.
Yeah of course they love you here we black Americans have to do all the hard work sacrifice to go through all the horrible stuff and then protest make change and make it happen for them to come here and have a successful country we watch American made that possible.
In Africa a lot of countries had left governments as Etiopia, Gana, Kenia... But now it is changing
Just because you accept Chinese money doe not mean you're prospering.
People that migrate from the developing global south to the United States and are well off are generally from the wealthier class in their home country. A lot of people don't realize exactly how incredibly poor some developing countries are -- there is less wealth overall, so the effect of all the wealth being concentrated in the 1% makes their poor EXTREMELY poor, compared to American poor people. A massive portion of Africans that came to the United States came as refugees, arriving with nothing, and finding a new home in an Atlanta suburb or something, and the majority of them stay poor the whole time they're here.
This woman's argument is just survivorship bias.
I’d love to see the statistics on these assertions you’ve made up. Sounds like you’re being emotional and defensive.
That’s def a lie , most African that came in here are not rich at all, the rich Africans will never leave their country to be broke in another ,most African that goes in the US ,they simple work very hard to achieve what they want to achieve because they see opportunities,also African are encouraged heavily by parents or family members about education and taking the opportunities available seriously , not because of their income at all.
🤣🤣 Rich Africans wouldn't migrate anywhere
It’s actually heartbreaking to have people minimize just how much effort Africans put in to migrate
The rigid, almost impenetrable in some cases, social class systems in most countries is a reality for so many that a large portion of Americans are completely oblivious to. The idea that you can literally transcend social classes is probably mind blowing to many immigrants. The American dream is not some fairy tale myth immigrants fall for. Almost every since one probably know of at least a couple actual humans from their countries who have actually done it. It's not a dream; it's a reality.
Thank you
Americans are so oblivious to how a lot of social structures work in a lot of countries
The US is the most socially mobile country in the world
Your father can literally be a homeless person on the street but you can become a Billionaire
Numbers don’t lie, they tell the story. Ignoring numbers is the lie.
Ignoring numbers is idiocy for sure, but so is accepting numbers without context. I could give examples of both from the left, but my comment will likely be removed. As a mathematician, I would compare numbers more to the signs over sections in a bookstore and the titles of the books in those sections. Just realized I described the Dewey-decimal system, but hey more to my point. Numbers point to the stories that should be told.
This is great. Candace looks smoking hot in this one. No matter how bad things get the greatest gift you can give yourself for free every morning is hope. We live in The United States of America with freedom for all. Don't be a victim!
I posted my opinion as to why and it was immediately deleted.
Hint: It starts with the letters "I" and "Q".
Also a bit of African wisdom. Sad thing that the school system here in South Africa is more advanced than the school system in USA. But you must want to learn, it's harder in USA. And it's sad.
@@SoniaJbrt I merely suggested that the immigrants from Africa are the best and brightest their country has to offer. Bright people do well anywhere. They do better than an average American.
Sigh....African immigrants are doing what immigrants have been doing for years in America. They're just the new India, Jews, Russians etc. When you come from difficult situations and are given an opportunity to better yourself far from home, you're incentivized to kick ass. That ain't new. All these other theories are for the birds because why can't they transplant that success to where they're from?

Black American women are the most educated in this country and highest entrepreneurs check stats
The first female self made millionare was an african american woman. The first womens banker who also co founded the bank of California was also african american
As an African immigrant (from Ethiopia) who moved here at 17 and now making $130K a year at 26, I absolutely despise the perpetual victim mentality that is ingrained in the African American community. I’ve had many encounters with African Americans and I have had some acquaintances as well but it is very difficult to be close friend with them except the likes of Candace who are conservative because liberal African Americans (who embrace individuality over community) are truly the most delusional and lost people in the entire world. You don’t have the luxury to embrace liberalism when you come from a broken community which embraces a culture which promotes violence, promiscuity, drug use, getting money in illegal ways and so on. I have had experience with all kinds of people from different background but my worst experiences are almost always with African Americans. The black race is demonized and seen as a joke by other races because other black people such as Africans, Caribbeans do not have the representation African Americans have in western media. I don’t hate you as individuals because there are plenty of decent, successful African Americans but I hate you as a community as you have failed giants like MLK. If MLK could rise up from the dead, I’ll guarantee you he’ll be proud of me as an African man and be ashamed of the way you took a big shit on his legacy
What you need to do is educate yourself on everything that the black community has had to overcome in America. Educate yourself on "Slavery", "Redlining", "Jim Crow", "Drugs being put in Black Communities", "The 1994 Crime Bill" and "How th government used "Welfare", to break up Black families. Last thing, if it weren't for the black community standing up to white supremacy, you would not have the freedom that you have in America today. Have a blessed day. 😉
Is this Saturday Night Live?
oooh the "model minority" is now Nigerian instead of Asians... fascinating.
Why did Abner Louima get shot at 41 times?
I don't think anyone had ever said America was a free country to people of color.😢
Africa huge continent I found. Blacks from Africa who educated our very nice folks. Cast difference. From to. Black americans. Who do not. Appreciate freedoms here.
Because racism and discrimination don't make people poor. Black Americans were doing much better in the past when America was more racist.
It's a mindset, people all over the world are made to believe that America is the best place in the world, that mentality alone propels immigrants to believe that all things are possible in America and subconsciously expect to win and they win, they prosper.
Why compare or try to be divisive? We are all black. Do you know why Africans are doing better here? Because what you see is our best. Our best minds, our best behaved people. You dont see our worst. And of course if you came from nothing, you will grab opportunities when you see it. I believe the same applies to all the immigrant communities.
It's not about being divisive, she's just telling the truth and if the truth is divisive, well, it's still better than believing a lie.
And also, no. Speaking for Nigeria, our best is still back at home.
@theoneeternal9046 I am a Nigerian bro. Stop trying to sugarcoat stuff and lie. Our best are definitely not in Nigeria. They leave the country for better education and never come back. You must be smoking weed. 😀😀😀

@@mikeallen7674 Oh? Well then. Please enlighten me.
I’d vote Candace Owens for president.
Well according to the training I just took, success is a trait of " whiteness" and therefore evil. Thanks Coke.
So beautiful and intelligent Candace. My complete backing if you run for president
because one man's trash is another man's treasure
It was amazing I follow her she is right when you come to her argument, but there is something I don't understand, us I am un african I always try to bring the weak to the mountain of simba, I don't want sink to the weak. Africans they dream to become diversity after colonization coz they forget who they are, the power that kept them for centuries; respect each person believe and culture and when you through the key u can never recover,unless you want to dream utopian it never exist, teach the cause not the result
It’s crazy cause I use to hate Candace Owen , partly because of my ignorance and not taking the time to listen to her. I’m glad I started actively listening to her. She’s such an intelligent woman. Love her!
The continent of Africa is a continent of 3rd world countries what can they teach us ?

But yet black Americans have achieved more than Africans. Let's do another math system, black Americans spending power, basically our GDP...
is 1.6 trillion-dollar and were only 47 million... Nigeria on the other hand, is a population of 213 million people, but their GDP is less than 500 billion, black Americans are worth more, African Americans are inventors meaning... if you Google black inventors and black innovators, its black Americans, and only black Americans... , basically if black Americans were small nation, we will be the 12th largest nation in the world. Now Nigeria has an abundance of resources,
they have natural gas oil, they are a resource-rich country, yet they have a very low GDP. They have a very high population they are abject poverty
they are a third world country ..
so all you're saying is a bunch of nonsense. Nigerians are literally walking on hbcus, black Americans are not in their University.
Now. Given the fact that white people were very racist towards blacks and kept them out of society, and it took black Americans over 100 years to open up Society and no Civil Rights bill that were passed in 1964 and in 1968, and 1970 black Americans finally become first class Citizen,
and then twenty years later a huge immigrant population come over here. Who didn't experience Jim Crow or was not pushed out of civilization because of extreme hate, I would say black Americans have done pretty well for themselves considering the fact that they came from a harsh background so you can take that data,
bald it up and stick it up your butt hole.
Now do one in your home country
@@dguthrie1 precisely
@@PerseusManchild sorry I misread your comment I agree I can’t stand when they talk big why majority are not successful
They are very successful black Americans too but immigrants also get social mobilities and different free things that AAs don’t get 💯
Stop making excuses. There's nothing holding you back but you.
If hungary is racist why do indian asians succeed and the ancient indian community, the gypsies do not. Its not so about colour but about caste.
I don't know, but life in America is perfect. without my mind.

Let's also stop with the non sense that all Africans are successful because that's far from the case if so why didn't they stay in Africa it help their continent 🦗😂
but the majority is 🏋🏾 stay maddd
Looks like u need to start to understand the deeper issues in Nigeria before u make such conscending comments
I agree they are clowns who fled
Drain the DC swamp
Its because its nothing more than a narrative. It complete BS
What about Abner Louima and Amadou Diallo?
Why? It's as if having wealth and not growing up being oppressed makes people actually become a better people.
Because we were already rich. My father went to Princeton and Stern from being in a boarding school for his entire childhood. I’m now in Tufts because of my family putting education first. The Africans living in huts will probably never come to America.
👍
Why do AAs living in Africa so better then native in Africa
African parents are very strict with culture and traditions
Where them Africans was wen slavery was going down
The members of African Diaspora News Channel would probably disagree and probably say this video is BS.
Why aren't they as successful in they're own countries. And if they are, why are immigrating here?
Because they don't have opportunities the same reason Asians travelled to America in the 60s.
We understand that Asians and Africans lack opportunities in they're own countries but play naive about majority of black Americans being shutout from opportunities here in the US
@@paulbunyan9777 everybody has an opportunity to succeed. Trust me, if Asians and Africans can succeed, then SO CAN YOU.
@@joyjoyjoyful my argument is Equal Opportunities to succeed in America. Foreign born and first or second generation Americans who came here with nothing play coy about the extra opportunities open to them in comparison to the original Black American to thrive here but are totally aware of hierarchy that divides the haves and have nots in their own countries
@@joyjoyjoyful You must be non FBA to say that smh.
The title of the video is manipulative as it forces an agreement in absence of an obvious logical explanation. This question can be asked in so many different ways and I will give u examples. Hopefully u ll see the trend in how the question lacks depth.
1. If America is racist why do blacks dominate the sports arena?
2. If America is racist how come we had a black president.
3. If America is racist show me one law or institution that stops black people from being their best? Etc etc
The answers to these question have nothing to do with proving or disapproving the existence of racism or racial bias, or institutional racism, or whatever relating to race.
In order to understand why Africans are successful then u need to understand US immigration policy and how it affects the quality of immigrant population in relationship to variables that determine success in the US.
Cadence should use this observation to prove good policies incentivize good outcomes rather than falsely attributing the observation to lack of racism.
Here is what u should keep in mind. Across the board, immigrants of all races fair well than most Americans and they are also far more educated than the American population.
There is about twice more immigrant Africans with a college degree in America than there is white n black Americans with college degrees combined. That is 40% African immigrants have college compared to 14% of black and 22% of whites in America.
This distribution is not caused by the culture or mindset differences but rather by existing immigration policies that vet for immigrants with successful attributes and traits.
Whereas africans re dominating the American population like in college education less than 6% of africans in Africa have a college degree compared to about 35% of Americans with college degrees.
I hope I ve sparked a mind somewhere to begin to question everything they hear beyond political affiliation. Be free don’t be limited or contained in a political ideology.
Tell that to latin americans...
Someone should tell Candace to stop using us Nigerians in her marketing campaign for her brand. Our trajectory and situation and experiences are very different as immigrants than black Americans.
Stop please stop making us your poster child for your one sided and warped message. We as blacks too acknowledge and empathetise with what the AAs have been through over generations and understand how this can affect family and societal structures in a way to lead to current challenges.
You realize Candace is an AA right? She knows about the plight of blk Americans a lot more than you do. And the fact is it's no excuse to remain a perpetual victim. People like you need to stop caping for AA.
They're not children.
I think Asian Americans "should" start friendship and exchange groups with African Americans, but mainly focused on the new African immigrants. This BS about having good relationship meeting between Blacks and Asians in San Francisco or New York is pretty stupid and a waste of time.
If they want to have friendships with Africans then they should go to Africa, but as a matter of fact Asians are in Africa Chinese do consider Africans to be lazy. But that's another subject we can talk about some other time. But this country, is African American country. We were one of the first people here we've been here for a very long time we are not immigrants. Nobody needs to make any relationship with us,
@@bobbyschannel349 You guys need help. But you know that. You African Americans are taught to be victims. The new Africa Americans know they won the lottery.

Try china friendliness hhhhh concentration camps level .
Serious question - isn’t the reason the success of African immigrants bc they come very educated and ready to go into the workforce and are already wealthy?
No. That also doesn't explain their children's achievements.
@@Roshaad they raised their kids right so they follow suit!
Yes Candace isn’t thinking critically. African immigrants are successful because they come from money already and are able to afford school. The claim made by black Americans is that their situations of poverty can be traced back to their ancestors and that’s why they are struggling.
@@123beserk Keep thinking that. Im a Caribbean immigrant married to an African immigrant who grew up in NY around immigrants. We do not all come here rich, we come here with the belief that education and hard work will get us a better life than it would where we came from. If it makes you feel better attributing the success of immigrants to their already being wealthy and successful then have at it, but it's not the reality.
@@123beserk you are very wrong! Most Africans who immigrate to the West move here to search for greener pastures! Extremely few are economic immigrants.
No it's because of unbalanced gain with an unjust system! Nigerian scamming is not success in God's eyes. GETTING AWAY WITH SOMETHING CRIMAL IS NOT SUCCESS ITS GRACE!
A jealous illiterate..😂😂😂, so what are people in your country doing?
Are you daft? Asking for a friend.😂
False dichotomy.

Yea because they Nigeria doesn't have opportunities like the US,so when they come here and find this good opportunities they utilize them wisely and succeed because most of them are brought up well with respect and hard work
@@Esimba62 No, they succeed because the hard work has already been done for them to prosper in America. It was done by Black people who did not have the option to run to another country where their rights were secured through blood and sacrifice by other Black people.
