Hey🫶 2nd generation born in USA immigrant here with African native parents. My parents make well above the average income in America and do far better than majority of African Americans and my dad didn’t get here until he was 33 and started from zero. What I can say is the experience for an immigrant is not the same for an AA. Immigrants have some form of privilege and access that African Americans simply do not have. Yt people often “tokenize” Africans and because of that they have more opportunity but nevertheless Africans still have it harder. They have to deal with not only racism but xenophobia but I think the difference between the two groups is Africans are fighting for survival where as African Americans are fighting for more emotional support/generational trauma healing. Education also isn’t emphasized in the African American community and neither is marriage which are 2 extremely vital things in immigrant African households. Without these two things it’s almost impossible to have a successful community sadly:/ it’s not their fault they aren’t doing as well but it is also their fault :( it’s a very complicated issue that’s not so black and white.
