Add Somalis to that list. But they do attend BLM rallies because it has another motive
Black people from Nigeria and the Carribean hate American blacks. At least in general...not all.
True. Many years ago I worked in a construction union in NYC. I got to know a lot of Jamaicans and other Caribbean blacks and they have nothing but contempt for American blacks.
They consider them to be uneducated, criminally prone and
lazy. And they don’t consider themselves to be “African-American’’. That’s a flat out affront to them. They consider themselves to be a Jamaican or a Haitian or what ever island they come from.
Black people from Nigeria and the Carribean hate American blacks.

How do You know? Please elaborate.
There's always been separation of classes among blacks. The house slaves looked down on the field slaves. And during the Civil War, the enlisted blacks who had been born free, looked down their noses at the runaways and contrabands who joined the other black units organized in the South. A prime example is the 54th and 55th Massachusetts Infantry Regiments who were the first two units organized in the North. They were made up of mostly free men, and they didn't think much of the contraband units that individuals like Colonel James Montgomery organized in South Carolina.
Here in Minnesota the Somali community segregates itself apart from American blacks, living mostly in their own enclaves at Cedar/Riverside and along Central Av.
I have yet to see one protesting on TV. (There are non-Somali muslims who are.) Yesterday I drove down Central Ave going past all the storefronts with their arabic signage, and it was mostly deserted with no protestors and little if any apparent damage.
BTW the community does not like Ilhan Omar from what I’ve heard. She is seen as an apostate who married a khaffir. However for the Somalis the tribe always trumps politics so they keep on voting for her anyway.
That has been my experience, too. I won’t use any of the phraseology my Nigerian American friends use to describe their feelings. Ain’t pretty.
[Please note: no hyphen between “Nigerian” and “American*.]
