Again. You seem sheltered.

I think that Americans shouldn't welcome ANYONE who doesn't know African-American history. Otherwise, you will just seem like lapdogs for the majority class.

FACT 1: The majority of African-Americans in the United States have been in the United States longer than the majority of Americans of European descent. How? Because during slavery, the importation of us Foundational Black Americans (African-Americans who can trace their lineage back in the United States for at least 100 years) was so plenty, that we outnumbered the original colonizers 3 to 1 in much of the South.

FACT 2: The reason there aren't that many Africans immigrating into the United States after slavery (up until the 60s for asylum) was because to keep the white population larger and politics the way they were. So your suggestion was initially rejected in the name of White supremacy.

FACT 3: African-Americans were well versed in agriculture and bookkeeping from their plantation days and far outperformed the majority of white farmers and families immediately after slavery. Why? Because they were the ones doing a majority of agricultural work anyway and now they were able to not only keep the money but work as a community.

In fact, during the rise of our communities, large numbers of Europeans, uneducated, heads filled with lice and speaking NO ENGLISH, were systemically allowed to past us in wealth accomplishment NOT because they were smarter, but because they were whiter.

FACT 4: African-Americans were the victims of anti-black progression. That means that any time African-Americans came together as a community and worked hard to build something of value, lower class whites were allowed to destroy our communities and law enforcement allowed them to go unpunished.

FACT 5: African-Americans are the ONLY Americans who were actively and unjustly oppressed by their own country (temporary internment doesn't count).

US War on Its Own Black Community: COINTELPRO

FACT 6 (THE MOST IMPORTANT): African-Americans are BLACK AMERICAN DESCENDANTS OF SLAVERY. Not AFRICANS.

If you are from Japan and become American, your cross culture is JAPANESE-AMERICAN.
If you are from Sweden and become American, your cross culture is SWEDISH-AMERICAN.
If you are from NIGERIA and become American, your cross culture is NIGERIAN-AMERICAN.

AFRICA IS NOT A COUNTRY. THE ONLY AMERICANS WHO CAN CALL THEMSELVES AFRICAN-AMERICANS ARE US.

We hailed from so many countries, that ONLY FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICANS SUCH AS MYSELF (with more than 100 years of history in this country) can be called AFRICAN-AMERICANS.

As I stated before... YOU SEEM SHELTERED.

The level of ignorance in this thread is laughable, especially from an AMERICAN point of view.

LASTLY... you didn't HAVE AFRICAN-AMERICAN friends... you had AFRICAN IMMIGRANT friends.

They have their own language different from the majority. They have parent cultures to which they can return. If they break the law they will be sent back.

We are ACTUAL AMERICANS. We were here in 1526 BEFORE the country was even RATIFIED as the United States.

As I said, if you don't know African-American history, please don't speak.

It SHOULD have been called AFRICAN-AMERICAN LIVES MATTER... because we are the ONLY AFRICAN-AMERICANS.

FACT 7: No CHINESE, No INDIAN, No WHITE, No AFRICAN... CAN EVER SAY:
They had drugs and guns infiltrated into their society by the US Government... INSIDE THE US.
The leaders and thinkers of their community were SPECIFICALLY TARGETED and ASSASSINATED... INSIDE THE US.

ONLY AFRICAN-AMERICANS. So if you want someone to blame for current conditions... blame the country that not only allowed it to happen... but FUNDED it.

The FBI stated that America's greatest threat... was "black unity".

Class is dismissed.

That is why it is not called African-American Lives Matter. I am actually furtunate to have colleagues that are recent immigrants from Africa and got their college degrees here in the US. They work really hard and even the Black people resent these African immigrants' successful industrial spirit. These African immigrants have a lot in common with Chinese immigrants in that they believe in working hard, getting good grades through studying diligently, and they make the community better than how they found it whereas Black people just want to take and not give back to the community for everyone to benefit. I think America should welcome more African refugees who are being persecuted in Africa and offer political asylum to them. I think African immigrants do not support BLM because they acknowledge the fact that their own African ancestors were complicit in playing an active role in capturing slaves for both the Atlantic and Indian Ocean Slave Trade and profited handsomely from those transaction with the Jewish and Muslim slave trading middlemen. The majority of Black Americans who claim ancestry to American slavery are not 100% African by blood...these BLM supporters don't even look like their cousins in Africa. I have visited Africa more than once...what about you?

Just in case you haven't noticed the pattern of this thread, it is Black people not African Americans who are committing crimes in the Chinese American community. There is a big difference between the two groups.

African-Americans don't even support BLM. Whatare you talking about? I'm pretty sure you've never set parts in the actual African-American community. You sound just as distant and delusional as they do.

Once your experience with African-Americans goes past nightly news, television shows and your personal friend circle, you will be free from your own personal simulation.

Whenever I hear people talk like that, the more it becomes obvious that they don't venture outside of their own communities.

"Caught on camera" without revealing the criminal's racial description is code for "black thugs".

"From Oakland" is also a code for "black thugs". Black thugs from Oakland & Richmond are also responsible for terrorizing tourists with crime in San Francisco. There are so many jobs avail

So now we know why the corrupt Socialist Commie Democrats want to build homeless shelters in Chinatown...it is to fraudulently ballet harvest during the elections so that they stay in power to line there own pockets with public wealth like the CCP while selling socialism dream to their voter base: [youtu.be]

I would support de-naturalizing socialist politicians and deport them to a socialist country that wants their brand of loyalty.

I don't know too much about the Chinese populations in other US cities, but in San Francisco and the SF Bay Area, I would say Cantonese is spoken by 80 percent of Chinese. The SF Bay Area has one of the largest (if not the largest) Chinese populations (predominantly Cantonese) outside of Asia. Around 30 percent of the Bay Area is Chinese, and in San Francisco, the Chinese make up half of the city. Britain (London, Manchester), Australia (Sydney, Perth, Melbourne), and Canada (Vancouver, Toronto) also have large Chinese communities. Within Asia, almost every southeast Asian country has a Chinese minority. Obviously Taiwan is mainly Chinese, but surprisingly very few Taiwanese speak any Cantonese. Singapore is actually about 75 percent Chinese (about half speak Cantonese, the other Mandarin) and about 30 percent of Malaysia's population is Chinese (mostly Mandarin); Thailand and Vietnam have about 10 percent (Cantonese and Mandarin); and Indonesia has around 5 percent. Being half-Chinese, the ability to speak Cantonese (which surprises many people since I don't look Chinese at all) helps tremendously when travelling in Asia.
