Centuries upon centuries of racial discrimination and disenfranchisement maybe? Lack of access to equal economic and educational opportunities?
We didn't/don't/will not do that to ourselves. White America ****ed us over bad, but I repeat, we are not ****ing stupid and I will just never accept that hellish lie that Black people and Blackness are what hold Black people down. That divisive mentality just makes it seems like we're just as stupid and evil as the White man has accused us of being. I'll never accept it. No.
An affluent, semi-affluent, or
okay foreign immigrant =/= a Black child in an inner city ghetto.

Where do you get off making those comparisons c'mon  African Americans are not Haitians or Somalian. Somalia actually has to deal with famine and water scarcities. Not the same thing! Your struggle isn't even close. I wouldn't tell them to pick themselves up by the bootstraps, but they can ditch Islam for one, maybe God might love them a lil better and make it rain once in a while  |
You know nothing about our struggle.
America is rich. Americans are not.
There are MILLIONS of people period right here in America with no water and no food. Is there water and food around? Yes. But that doesn't mean they have access to it.
Lemme explain. Although Africans maybe way too dismissive about the systematic rigging that hinders the black community from flourishing in America, Africans students still migrate and out perform AAs in their own education systems. So as far as they're concerned, anyone can "pull themselves up by the bootstraps", there is just something fundamentally flawed in your culture, (which is true to an extent). But ofc it's more complicated than that.
