I have Nigerians in my extended family as well as Guyanese. Both of them look at American Black folks with this view. We DO have a lot of advantages to them if you look at their home countries. We sit here and complain about way too much shit to have all of these opportunities at hand. They prove we have these opportunities when they come over here with next to nothing and make it while many of us sit off complaining about how "da man" got us down.

(A lot of us here on OKP HAVE made it or are working hard towards doing do, so we don't count)
