According to this young lady Shirley Chisholm wrote about Caribbean immigrant families receiving opportunities in New York that many Black Americans whose families were already here were denied.
Housing policy wasn’t neutral. Access to neighborhoods, property, and opportunity helped determine who got to build wealth and who didn’t.
So when people act like every Black American experience is interchangeable, they’re erasing how lineage, immigration, and government policy created very different starting points.
That conversation is overdue.
Afroman says Africans sold slaves and finds many Africans arrogant, condescending, and disrespectful to Black Americans, even though they are in America because of the civil rights our ancestors fought for‼️🧐
Wyclef Jean went on the One54 Podcast and lectured Black America: "unity is strength divide is the only way they conquer."
Sounds deep. Here's the problem: Africa isn't even united with Africa.
There are African nations sitting right next to each other that don't mess with each other. So how are you going to demand Black Americans "unite" with the whole diaspora when the diaspora isn't united with itself?
This was never about Black Americans hating anybody. It's about a simple truth nobody wants to say out loud: everybody gets to prioritize their own; Haiti, Nigeria, Ghana, but the moment Black Americans do the same, suddenly it's "divisive."
Focus on your own. We'll focus on ours.

"I find a lot of [Africans] arrogant, condescending and disrespectful to Afro-Americans when they're here on the Civil Rights that our mothers, fathers and grandfathers fought for. I just think they ought to be a little bit more respectful under all the circumstances that they betrayed us, backstabbed us, sold us and then they're living in America benefiting off the Civil Rights that we fought for." - @ogafroman
Black Americans say this is NOT a diaspora war it is a response to years of disrespect from parts of the African and Caribbean diaspora.
In this reaction, we break down the heated debate over Black American identity, African and Caribbean immigration, culture, reparations, political power and whether Black Americans should even be described as part of the African diaspora.

There is no such thing as Black crime. Crime is just that, crime, which happens in proximity. Do you ever wonder why no one ever talks about White on White crimes, Hispanic on Hispanic crimes, or Asian on Asian crimes⁉️🤔
@Rbrtbarboza@Peal8888 You’re a wet back tryna be funny? Your women literally have hairy ass faces🤷🏾♂️. Wet backs can’t talk about any other group of women being masculine
She’s right.
Africans & Caribbeans kept calling Black Americans lazy.
Saying we don’t own any businesses.
They didn’t even want to be called “Black”.
Now they are pretending to be Black businesses.
These are opportunistic and manipulative people.
Charleston White reacts to Karmelo Anthony being found guilty in the Austin Metcalf murder trial 😳
