Black people from Nigeria and the Carribean hate American blacks. At least in general...not all.
BLM is in the same league as Antifa, Students for a Democratic Society, etc., etc.
They claim to be representing the people, etc. when they are really about instigating anarchy, chaos, and the destruction of the foundations of America.
‘Fundamentally change America,’ indeed.
I really like her. And I think I have a crush on her.
Laz, you can’t hit it.
She is right BLM is a joke. A bad dangerous joke. It’s a contrived group of community agitators created by leftists who want to topple the nation.
It is sad that it probably takes a ‘black foreigner’ to take down America’s black enemies as opposed to America’s own black citizens....
Says a lot....
Glad she speaks up. Wish there were more like her.
There always seems to be a video available when a white person, police or otherwise has an altercation, or uses force on a black person, but where are the videos of black on black crime that occurs every day? They’re non-existent, yet just about everyone these days has a cell phone with a camera. And when black on black crime occurs in black neighborhoods, nine times out of ten, when the detectives talk to the people in the neighborhood to see if they saw or heard anything, the majority of them will not come forward, and will not say anything, even if they saw the whole thing go down. It makes me sick.
I wonder how many FReeper fellas have fallen in love with this awesome lady...
I worked with Nigerians and they tended to think African Americans were spoiled brats. So no suprise here.

She’s hawt...
Love her. She sees right through the BS.
In terms of where the vitriol stems from, it primarily arises from the fact that most (first generation) Africans in the US came for tertiary education. That means either 1) their families had to pay through the nose to give their children the best education; and/or 2) they only managed to scrounge enough cash to get to the US and thus they have to work several jobs to pay tuition. Then they arrive here to meet a group of people that speak funny, wear pants that don’t cover their behinds, and a number are deficient when it comes to critical thinking, theory of knowledge and general intelligence.
Then these people unable to wear pants have the temerity to come and tell us we are ‘acting white’ because we don’t ape their sartorial (lack of) style, do not copy their (imbecilic) mode of ‘speech,’ or that we prefer studying (which is what brought us to the US in the first place) rather than dribbling some orange ball. I think that is what really sticks in our craw ...the judgement from people who really should not be judging us. Judging us because we want to study hard (which in most cases is because we know the difficulties in Africa and want to rise above that), and then someone mocks us for that?
We may ‘look’ the same (actually not really - even in college I wore a suit for most of my MBA classes), but the difference is profound. Take education - African immigrants in the US are some of the most educated immigrant groups in the States ( African Immigrants often more educated than other immigrants ) yet a good number of African-Americans don’t even graduate high school. Yet they try and lecture us on what we should or shouldn’t do? Someone who thinks Socrates is a brand of gold-teeth grill (and 10K gold at that, not even proper gold) or that fluid dynamics is how to gargle mouthwash tries to tell us how to ‘conduct’ ourselves so we can fit in?
Ridiculous!
Anyway, rant over. No love lost.
Fwiw, our church has had missionaries in Nigeria & “British East Africa” since the early 19th Century & thus the students who want to attend college in the USA tend to attend our church-affiliated schools.
Even in the mid-1960s when I was an undergrad, our African students DESPISED & mostly AVOIDED “associating with” American Blacks. = My “sophomore year roomie”, Stephen, was a pre-seminary student from Lagos & he didn’t even try to disguise his antipathy toward US Blacks.
(Fwiw, in 2020, Stephen pastors one of the largest Baptist churches in Nigeria.- He is still married to the lady that he married while in college in May 1967 & they have 11 children & “a goodly crowd” of grand-kids.)

Wonder how long before this disappears downthetube at youtube?
Thanks for posting this link.
This lady is one smart cookie, shame it’s not always easy to catch what she says, as she makes a string of important points. She understands what is going on, not least that this is the version of America that the international media chooses to portray, giving voice to the protestors (attracted like flies to horsesh*t, is the expression that comes to mind!) and unfortunately the version most folks here in Britain will see.
This lady speaks better English than most of the people she was confronting. What struck me is that they really didn’t have any reasonable retort to what she was saying to them. The white witch kept trying to tell her that all blacks are oppressed in this country. She quickly nailed the witch to the cross.
I LOVE this girl!!!
