to Asians, Middle Easterns, and Europeans. They don’t migrate or immigrate to america illegally, and they already have a financial base, and they have monetary connections going back to their homeland. So they are not coming to America in a poor state. That allows them to comfortably establish businesses, set up their lives and families for future growth, and their welfare and well being don’t depend on government assistance or programs.

This is why I tell people that color, race,etc don’t have anything to do with conditioning, intelligence or experience. It’s about where you come from and how you were nurtured.

Here is an example. 88 keys is a 2nd generation immigrant from Cameroon. His parents, like a lot of African parents, wanted him to be a doctor. They paid for his schooling, housing, utilities, and other expenses so he could just focus on becoming a doctor. He didn’t want to become a doctor, so he dropped out of college. They disowned him after that, because they didn’t want him to pursue anything else, because anything else wasn’t as prestigious or financially stable.

My perception of that is Africans, just like Jews, Asians, etc, understand financial commitment and selflessness in order to create wealth and job security. As African Americans we are taught that by the time a person is 18, he or she has to be out on his own, as well as being able to financial support oneself. That’s the age of cut off, so that leads to young African American adults , especially males, being set up to fail. And when they fail they get shunned by their families and society, and the cycle just continues to repeat itself.

I also took from that: They refuse to accept , considering all things are healthy, anything that is satisfactory or less than excellence. That can be both good or bad. However, it weeds out dependency, mental weakness, and insecurity. But on the flip side, it creates prejudice, classism, and apathy towards people who are not as successful or who are poor. There are quite a few Africans who look down upon African Americans, or consider African Americans to be lower than them.
