There are many stories from African immigrants of how whites were nicer to them than African-Americans. That some whites were willing to assist them when they needed help, and usually looked out for them during their earlier days in the US. There’s always the perception that whites are more accommodating to Africans than African-Americans.

Although this narrative seems to change as they settle into the American society. When the initial euphoria of ‘America the Paradise’ wanes, and faced with the daily discriminations and racism as a person of color, they then begin to have a slightly different narrative. But the dislike or distrust of the African-American lingers, and for some it remains for life. That’s the sad truth!

Some also say that African-Americans are very much in your face with their hostility towards them. An African-American is more likely to mock and bully them without the slightest care of how they felt about it. From the classroom, to the mall, to the workplace... African immigrants make a conscious effort to avoid African-Americans as much as they can.

And, for most well-intentioned African-Americans, it’s rather disappointing when African immigrants avoid them. Hence the impression that African immigrants are stuck-up or full of themselves.

There is always a mutual suspicion and contempt between both groups. How and why this complicated relationship began is unclear. Of course, social engineering and the media have played a very crucial role in the seeming non-cordial relationship between the African-Americans and African immigrants.

Don't know for the older generation but for late millenials and gen z, that is completely false.

Thats an opinion, not result of research into that subject area.

Always put a disclaimer when you post such things.

African Americans made sacrifices that cleared the ground and allowed migrant Africans to attend elite schools, work in well paying professions and even work side by side whites in corporate office.

Africans did not lay down lives to wither down the barriers and biases and discrimination, getting your house bombed or setting you up for rape charges. Let's respect and honor those without whose blood and tears Africans in America will be nothing but a nigger fit only to clean house, till soil and address underage children as his master and superior.

African immigrants need to stop complaining, there's only ONE WAY TO GAIN RESPECT. BUILD THE MOTHERLAND. The Chinese built China. The Arabs built dubai.. the Indians Mumbai. That's the only way.

They are just scared of you, no Dey deceive yourself
