This is all I'm going to say about this. I've noticed that Africans here in the states are generally more focused, respectful, and place a way higher emphasis on education, than a lot of African Americans. In a lot of cases, they seem to be embarrassed and not willing to associate with a lot of the fuckery that goes on in the black community (hip hop, senseless gang violence etc.)

At the end of the day, its really about socioeconomic class, not skin color. My parents live in a pretty rich area and you see very few ignorant black people. My brother goes to college in bumfuck voldoata and I see a ton of ignorant people that are black and white

Its really about the environment you can afford to put yourself in and thr opportunities you can create.

Just because we share a phenotype doesn't mean we're automatically culturally inclined. "African" is a very broad term as there are hundreds of different cultures within the continent and some of them don't even get along. Similarly, there are different cultures within the African American diaspora depending on where you live, and as you stated, your class and social environment.

I agree with this. I just didn't wanna get into all the logistics for the sake for argument. Totally relate to your post though

i really can't believe this thread is still going. the OP was blatantly racist and i'm pretty positive the staff have turned their eye at this point.
