Dirty little secret- black immigrants and students from Africa and the Caribbean usually have contempt for American-born blacks. As a matter of fact, I knew one who kept calling them the N-bomb (and he was Nigerian!).

That's because they come to America for the same reason other immigrants come to our country, and can see the opportunities.

I worked with a couple of Jamaicans who were just off the boat and were helping mom and dad set up a Jamaican restaurant. Both of them asked me what in the world was wrong with American blacks. The Jamaicans had a "How long has this been going on?" attitude and couldn't believe the others didn't seize all the advantages they saw.
