One would think that when the popular Obama was elected twice that we could have put the charge of racism behind us but no. Obama really failed "his people". He had the chance to lift up every black kid and show them just how far they could go in life if they studied and worked hard but no. What Obama did instead was allowed the black kids to wallow in perpetual oppression while blaming "whitey" for everything that is wrong. Today according to the Dems white supremacy is everywhere, the racist cops with itchy trigger fingers are hunting young black men and the KKK (the GOP) is gaining members and if they could they would enslave Blacks again.
America is still the land of opportunity no matter your skin tone but the Democrats are doing their best to keep Black people down. They teach CRT in the schools that tells them they have no chance. They are lowering testing standards and cancelling AP classes which allows the kids to coast along instead of challenging them.
We all have incredible opportunity and freedom in America but the Dems are doing their best to lock it all down.
No thinking person would think that after you and others voted for and elected a birther in 2016.
I wasn’t just talking about Africa. On the highest median income thing black Cayman Islanders and Bermuda’s enjoy a higher income. Black Brits do slightly better than Black Americans, as well. On the percentage of the population that’s earning big bucks. A couple of the Caribbean tax havens are definitely above the U.S to. Where the U.S pulls away is when the relatively high income is combined with the population size.
FWIIW we used to have a condo on Seven Mile Grand Cayman. I'll try to pull some PPP corrected numbers per blacks on Cayman and Bermuda vs. The US tomorrow.
ETA and FWIIW- the other guy specially mentioned Nigeria, Ghana and Botswana.
“The basic conclusion from these findings: Forbes is spinning “a misleading tale of what it takes to become wealthy in America.” Most of the Forbes 400, like Mitt, have benefited from a level of privilege unknown to the vast majority of Americans.
As commentator Jim Hightower has colorfully put it, most of our super rich were born on third base and think they hit a triple.”
And all they do is b%tch of how mistreated they are
Not all. Just the perpetually underachievers that like to complain about their rotten life situation. Blaming someone else eases their misery for their poor choices and the negative consequences that accompany those selections.

Liberals championed his election as "historical" then refused to actually use it as a spring board for change.
Now its, "who the hell cares about that rich guy? He didn't symbolize anything."
When it fact, Obama symbolized the end of using slavery or not having a father as an excuse to not prosper in this world. Obama also refused to give out reparations which tells us that they will never happen.
I'd say this is true for all people living in the USA today.
Not true. There's plenty of people in America who came or come from other rich countries that could do better there, than in America. Canadians, Japanese, Koreans, Germans, Norwegians, UAE, Qatar, etc.
We blacks, are not one of them. The closest thing to a "Black America" doesn't exist outside of America.
We African Americans made out like bandits based on pure chance of what boat our ancestors boarded.

Exactly. I personally love the Caymans. FH and I are considering buying a home there. The standard of living is extremely high. Health care is better than in the U.S.
I actually have a friend who came here temporarily from the Caymans and left. She and her husband live in the UK now and she wants to return to the Caymans. Neither of them want to come back to the States. It’s better in the places they come from.
