you still trying to make a fictional 'argument' with me. I agreed 500times over that there is bigotry among some African immigrants in America so that's NOT where we disagree.... however...
There is also bigotry/idiocy and blind spots from BA toward immigrants, Americans living and working abroad in 'other people's' countries and a long tradition black migrants behaving quite differently see: UNIA, Malcolm, Stokely, Kool Herc, KRS, Biggies mummy etc etc
What I find ridiculous is you and others falling back on 'you are not American' rather than a critical response to what im actually saying. Countless BA have written books/given lectures on Africa & Caribbean their work/ideas should be judged by its quality not their passport.
Given that Britain has gone through a slightly similar - though of course also extremely different - tension between new arrivals and older citizens I thought you *might* appreciate another perspective (americans can learn from others as much as we have learned from u guys)
But it's all good, Americans who study Caribbean and African history/politics are qualified to have opinions, non Americans that have studied American history and have literal family in America are not. I get it, it's all good. 👌🏾
