Institutionalized racism is a thing in America simplicita. The white man has put in place a socio cultural and economic system to consolidate the ill gotten advantage it acquired and to ensure that the progeny of those whom he once enslaved never rise to a position where they're able to challenge or avenge the historical wrong that was done to them. Irrespective of political isms, the traps are overt and covert and sometimes missed by foreigners especially African diaspora who are more excited about a perceived advantage they think they gain in their newly adopted country, however, the African American has learnt from experience to maintain a healthy dose of suspicion for anything white. From slavery to KKK to Jim Crow, from Welfarism to Sangers' Planned Parenthood and from despicable race based horrific Government backed pseudo scientific experiments sans syphilis, tuberculosis and leprosy colonies to the so called war on drugs and other petty crimes that has enabled the white man to jail a quarter of the most virile and productive male members of the African American society, the African American has evolved to distrust anything the white man does and to respond with violence whenever the opportunity presents itself and I daresay rightly so, the white man's cowardice in the face of unbridled violence is beautiful to behold. The African migrant as usual, is quick to point fingers at his cousin's violent propensities, his unwillingness to countenance anything white as having any good or merit; he forgets quite quickly that centuries of cohabitation with the white man has given the African American a unique insight into the nature of the white species of the human race. The African American on the other hand, holds on to centuries old grudge in which he believes that the ancestors of his ignorant cousins sold his ancestors into slavery, he perceives in the African migrant an air of condescension which he believes stems from a feeling that 'my ancestors were superior to yours and were able to run faster from the white man'. Thus a clash between the two becomes almost inevitable that the evil genius of the white man is quick to identify and exploit for his ultimate agenda I.e. the total subjugation of this subhuman species who dares aspire to personhood. The white man would rather elevate his dog than the black man - fact. The conclusion is that the black race as usual has taken the easy path of hate and casting blames and aspersions; finding a reason to hate your neighbor is always easy, it is hard to find a reason to love and respect him. Like the Joseph incidence in biblical lore (Joseph was sold into slavery by his jealous brethren), the migrant can learn so much from those who were there before him, whilst those who were there before have a great opportunity in the migrant to reconnect with what they once lost. This is a great opportunity to consolidate our knowledge and experiences, take stock of what we did wrong and how easily we allowed other races to subjugate and enslave us and to forge a common path forward. 33 Likes 4 Shares |

We must take into cognisance that they're coming from a tough history of being called slaves to being referred as African Americans. it was a completely tougher evolution of social phase than was experienced in African continent. 11 Likes |

Huawei101: They remember very well your grand fathers sold their brothers and sisters ( their fathers and mothers ) into slavery for cheap price. That is the story they knew. Your story here blames the white man (for buying the products?). The experience is sad. We must tell the actual story and apologise. Our forefathers sold their brother's and sisters into slavery ! 13 Likes |

Okpa042: Not all african Americans think this way... The main issue btw african American and stupiid africans is: 1. When you africans leave your shitthole countries and have the audacity to criticize the african Americans in their country. 2. When you africans think you’re better than african Americans 3. When you give birth to your african baby in American, return to your shitthole countries and then send the child back to America after 18 years to simply milk all the things (you did not work for) American citizens work hard/ pay taxes for 4. When you leave your shitthole countries to simply milk the American system, either by your fraudulent activities or by collecting govtmnt money that you do not deserve. 5. When you open your goro infested mouth to castigate the african Americans without taking a time out to completely understand their various backgrounds and history. 6. When you leave your no light shitthole countries to complain about the American system. 7. When you finally obtained your blue passport (become a voter) without understanding that a few african Americans died many years ago fighting for the rights to vote. Can you imagine, a bunch of clowns running to Nigeria to milk our system and also criticize everything about Nigerians? Do you guys remember how the Ghanaians were treated in Nigeria many years ago? Africans should simply shut the fuccck up, learn to understand the history of african Americans and stop looking down at them....For sure, some of these people (African Americans) are more decent by far than average voodoo mugger Africans Before you advise the african Americans you should first advise the area boys all around Nigeria and also stop collecting bags of rice to vote for those leaders that continue to sink your shitthole countries 23 Likes 5 Shares |

vRendoh:It's one of the reasons Asians disrespect black people generally. Asians can't come to terms why brothers would help cooperate with the whiteman and sell their own brothers/sisters to slavery. Asians care less if you are black African or Black American. The success of the transatlantic slave trade effectively placed Black people at the bottom of the race heirachy. The same shyte is still going on in sub-saharan Africa. The politicians are now the new slave masters. 9 Likes 1 Share |

African Americans are indeed close-minded. But one thing I like about them is that they are a more militant people. They don't look at whites with the same wide-eyed admiration that Africans do. Infact they hate the whites. 5 Likes |
