In Defense Of Black Americans by atoliman: 7:45pm On Mar 25
There is no perfect group of people. When you visit or live in a foreign country that is different from your own. You are going to see the best and the worst of everybody living in that country. Black Americans are not exception, yes there are some loud and crude black Americans who dey misbehave or act in a wayward manner, but the same thing can apply to Nigerians living in Nigeria. And they are some very hardworking black Americans who do not make noise. not all of them have the entitlement mindset.
The problem is that the media and social media highlights the negative images of black America just as some people abroad see Nigerians as scammers only. In fact , UAE put a ban on Nigerians, are we better behaved than them?
The things this people have seen in after slavery ended is not for the faint hearted, some are still going through racism today.

When we go to America and make little progress, we
start to look down on Black Americans and call them lazy, but we can never understand the psychological and physical onslaught, the Black Americans have endured, and are still enduring up to this day.

They have been dehumanized and marginalized for close to 450 years, it has changed their psyche makeup.
Their environment is so toxic, that it's mostly the most hardened and violent people that have survived, and consequently passed down those traits that allowed them survive to their offsprings.

We don't even have to go that far back to find examples of this invisible war that the European American have been waging on them:
- The racial profiling and execution by cops,unjustifiably killing hundreds of Black Americans every year.

- The 80's/90's crack epidemic, when the U.S government flooded the black community in a calculated bid to destroy their culture.

- The 1921 Tulsa killings wherein the whites attacked Black residents, homes, and businesses, as well as cultural and public institutions in the Greenwood District of Tulsa, OK, an oil boom city. Greenwood was also know as "Black Wall Street," one of the wealthiest Black communities in the United States. As a result of this attack, thirty-five blocks were systematically looted and burned, destroying businesses and living Black Americans homeless.

They have been systematically pushed to the project by making them financial handicapped, through restricting them from accessing loans and learning opportunities.

When J. Cole said in his song "Immortal" :

"They tellin' niggas, "sell dope, rap or go to NBA"
In that order, it's that sort of thinkin'
That been keepin' niggas chained at the bottom and hanged
The strangest fruit that you ever seen, ripe with pain
"

I felt that.

Do not mind them jare. They live with the agbero versions of black Americans and they conclude all of the them are like that. They do not know how deep racism is because they have not experience the worst of racism.
