Excellent response. Even though I'm not European, I still can be sympathetic to the bullsh_t that has been bestowed upon you by the "Black American" engine. I'm hated on by a plethora of Black Americans. Personally, even though I'm Brazilian-American-as-pie (I have no Brasileiro accent) via proxy of Brazil biological parents even though born and raised in NYC stem from Africa and Ireland (African as in Negroid yes but I lean alot towards my Irish phenotypes in a lot of ways - but I'm not friggin Black/Black American).have2fly wrote:Considering that I am an immigrant who came into this country as a complete alien not knowing anything besides decent English and have it made to middle class. I had to work 3 part time jobs and take lots of loans to pay for my Bachelors, don't know how I did it, but it's done. There are certainly better examples of immigrants in the USA as well.Considering what Black people have gone through in America for the past centuries (enslavement, Jim Crow, murder, rape, lynching, the list goes on)
Now do all the black people who hate me everyday KNOW what my family have gone through? Second World war, I had a lot of my relatives killed, my grandmother had huge scars from German bombings. I survived through gangs, unsafe living neighborhood, complete destruction of the economy after breakup of USSR, there was no food in the stores, no clothes, no money etc etc etc. But I had the strength to establish my life in the US.
Blacks hate me for being white and I can't even say damn thing back because "it will be racist". They don't even know that I am an immigrant, but they hate me right away. The attitude is freaking terrible. What prevents blacks from getting degrees? Graduating from high school? Oh, they live in poor conditions, oh they don't have money. Bull SHIT! They were born in this country, they went to high schools and some didn't even graduate. High schools in the US are totally "for dummies", what I had learned in Ukraine 6th grade US students get during senior year of high school and still FAIL their tests!
So please, all that "blacks suffered" crap? Europeans had gone through total destruction, lost all of their families, suffered through shortages of everything, BUT they remember how to be a decent human being. I am NOT racist, I LOVE African blacks, I met lots of blacks in Europe and they were wonderful people. My Russian friend is dating one black African girl and she is the sweetest thing I've ever seen. We all know what Africans go through, but she never gave me any attitude.
I hate ghetto culture, I hate thug lifestyle, weed-smoking idiots etc. There are some 5-10% of blacks in America that are great and educated people. I would totally date an educated black girl, but not a piece of ghetto trash with STD's and attitude.
Call me Uncle Ruckus, but I seriously detest it when a bum-ass Black guy here in NYC is on the street and his opening dialogue is "Sup my nubian brother, give me some change, son".
Even though I'm an avid old-school Hip-Hop head, I'll let him off of the "son" phishing filter part, but the "nubian" and "brother" part? Man, get f***ed off!
I almost look like Sean Paul the reggae rapper, and most of all, I have no friggin brothers akin to me!!!
ANd here's the epic, colossal part: they become crazily livid after I reject them (nice or not): They exhort, "Man, f**k you, nigga! Bitch-made nigga!" I don't even exclaim back at him. I just keep it movin'.
Um, Have2Fly? 5 to 10 percent? Aren't you and I being modest here?? LOL Try 3 percent, my friend.
@username,
Well before the slave trade of AFrican slaves to the Western Hemisphere, there used to be a different kind of slave trade between the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula and East Africans. They also exchange concepts and religious beliefs.
