Ask ANY African, European African or Caribbean African what they really think about African Americans attitudes, crime and violence.  Buckle up for a truly enlightening conversation.[/quote]

Oh please!  This not some profound statement.  Most AA's [b]know[/b] what Africans and Caribbeans think.  It is no secret.   Geez! [/quote]Agree.  It appears that the original poster thinks somehow the fact that black people from somewhere else look down on Black Americans is some kind of evidence that Black Americans are dysfunctional and flawed.  But the reality is that in this country we have a history of people immigrating to our shores whose first move is to try to disassociate themselves from the people at the bottom so they can be accepted by whites at the top.

The book "How the Irish Became White" describes how Irish immigrants (once thought of as a separate race from the British and once sympathetic to the antislavery movement) sought to separate themselves from Blacks once they immigrated to the US.  It's also been documented that some Caribbean immigrants make a point of emphasizing their national origin in part so that whites won't assume they're American-born Blacks.  And why wouldn't they? They see the kind of assumptions that whites make about Black Americans.  Who would want to be treated likethat?

Yeah saying that Africans, and Black people from other parts of the world don't like Black Americans - that proves nothing.[/quote]
