They may have sympathy for us on many fronts

But as Anthology said above, most Africans I've had discussions with abt slavery in America and how the lingering effects of that experience is partly why we aren't able to move forward they seem to feel as if we're using slavery as a crutch...and that we have more resources at our disposable than any other group of ppl of color and we should be doing more

One brother from Ghana (heard this from Jamaicans too) used to say to me all the time in so many words that "Blk ameicans are lazy"
