Every African DOES NOT want to live here. I don’t even know where you guys come up with this crap.
Moreover, what people in Africa want has no bearing on the situation in THIS country. It’s totally irrelevant. Completely meaningless.
If there’s a problem in this country that needs addressing relative to race, or any other issue, I’m gonna call it out immediately and demand a redress. I’ll do so tactfully at first, but if it doesn’t get rectified in a reasonable timeframe, all tact is going out the window. What some African in Tanzania thinks about it doesn’t concern me in the least.
Whatever privilege I have in this country, I deserve as a citizen, and I’m sure as hell not gonna apologize for it.
This thread comes off as a paean to whites for giving blacks privileges that we wouldn’t have elsewhere. I’m not about to join in the praise...perish the thought. We weren’t given anything. We fought for everything we have, and we owe no gratitude to anyone but our ancestors for fighting the good fight.
White Americans are't privileged over their counterparts in Europe or Canada. IN contrast, black Americans are extremely privileged compared to their counterparts in Africa. Basically they could be starving in a 3rd world continent.
Lol...this is hilarious. You must be kidding, right?
If whites had it so good in Europe, why are the Americas, Australia, and Africa chock full of European descendants?
You’re here because your ancestors were living in abject poverty in Europe and had no way to move up in society. If that wasn’t the case, you wouldn’t be here. The middle classes and wealthy had no reason to leave.
My privileged existence in America is no greater than yours if you’re basing it on who our progenitors are. You’re just as lucky to be here as I am...probably moreso. You just have white skin as an additional talisman, that’s all.
Had your ancestors been in Europe instead of America, they likely would’ve been one of the tens of millions dead in the two world wars.
Why did White people take millions of African slaves?
I don't know about where you live but around here in 2018 slaves are illegal. What's more is there are strong laws across the board against all racial discrimination
I worked with an African who said American blacks were lazy and uneducated so no wonder many were criminals. I was surprised and told him if I had said that I'd be called a racist. He just laughed.

That African would be right. African blacks are lazy and uneducated based on the statistics of only being 13% of the population.
And those lazy and uneducated blacks are still doing much better than most Africans in the their home country.
Back on topic African Americans, we have the greatest black privileged out of blacks from any other country. Look at the black professional athletes, actors, musicians, entertainers, politicians, comedians who are insanely rich. In no other country would this be possible. I’ve seen black lawyers, doctors, engineers, scientists, etc. who have taken advantage of their opportunities in America.
The vast majority don’t.
As far as treatment overseas. Yes, black Americans overseas are treated a little bit better than at home.

The US is a very rich country, and here people in lower classes **OF ALL RACES** seem to have an entitlement complex. They see what others have with the high paying job, nice house, nice car and think they are entitled without working for it. They drop out of high school instead of studying hard and getting through college. They mail in their effort at their low paying job because they think they "deserve" more money.
Yeah we have it good in the US but you get what you work for! There is no magical white privilege fairy

Okay. His opinion carries no extra weight just because he’s an African. It’s the same as you saying it.
And yeah, if you said it, that would be racist, but so what? Doesn’t stop you from saying it anyway. You just say it in secure company of which there’s no shortage. In fact, there’s a reason why the African guy felt so comfortable telling you that.
