But you are comparing a continent to a country? I think it is relevant. Like what does Chad or Libya or even Egypt have to do wit African Americans in the US. Nothing. You are putting the ills of an entire continent onto any African anywhere as justification for saying African Americans are basically some ungrateful Americans. That line don't fly. I guess I am a glass half full dude. We aren't privileged here in America but we are doing well and the struggle continues. We are not complacent either. Our time will come again here. To say we are privileged and we should learn from African immigrants is ridiculous. They can only come here because WE made that happen. The Civil Rights era changed immigration in America in 1965. So I am not for this divide and disunity you promote. I am not seeking perfection either. Yes, Africa is foul. Why wouldn't it be? Colonialism is foul. Asia is pretty bad too. India. Bangladesh. The Philippines. Colonialism. Just keep struggling. It's all you got.
