I’ll gladly trade our blacks for Nigerians, based on the Nigerian friends I have. They can’t stand “African-Americans”.
I have met some very nice Christian African immigrants.
They are very grateful to be here and teach their kids the same attitude.
Interesting! In 2005, at a Nashville bar & grill, I met three Ethiopian brothers who had just arrived, starting their legal immigration process. They only two spoke basic English but they shared how excited they were to soon become Americans citizens. They had their goals firmly planned and explained how they would “not squander the opportunities that so many of you do, already born here”. To me, that said volumes and made me contemplate things I certainly took for granted. They were very polite, warm, and carried great dignity. I wish I had kept in touch with them.
I’ve known many true African-Americans, including my best friends as a child. Played with these Ethiopians all the time. Their father was a wonderful doctor and both parents were wonderful upstanding noble people.
Now my mother has a wonderful Nigerian friend from her last workplace, and his wonderful white wife nurse.
