Mr. Anon.
Based on my ain sense equally an African immigrant, I know that African immigrants create non acquire along alongside dark people inwards America.
When I offset moved here, I got the green “do lions roam to a greater extent than or less the streets” questions you lot would human face to acquire from small-town, mostly older, only-watch-one-news-channel, Americans.
I gauge it felt to a greater extent than offensive to me to need heed the same ignorant questions coming from my dark acquaintances, who were my historic catamenia (20/21) too who you’d human face to live on improve exposed to the world. Questions are fine for the most part, you lot tin sack express mirth questions off, but then, I’ve equally good had dark people to a greater extent than or less me brand fun of African accents -- maxim things similar clicking noises too Tarzan grammar.
On the flip side, I constitute it difficult to assimilate into the dark civilization because inwards a lot of ways, it’s unlike from mine.
There’s equally good only a weird tension betwixt Africans too dark Americans, similar nosotros remind each other of everything nosotros are not.
I admit, I human face at item situations inwards the news, too I think, “Are you lot actually going to complain when you lot alive inwards the reason of opportunity, where you lot don’t convey to walk through hot Sun too dust to acquire to class, or worry virtually dictators too nation of war anytime the province goes through an election?”.
A lot of bad things, actually bad things plow over to dark people inwards America, but a lot of bad things plow over to Africans inwards Africa equally good but nosotros only acquire dorsum upward too give-up the ghost along swinging.
So I gauge by too large speaking, Africans persuasion dark Americans equally privileged for existence born inwards the West too having all that has to offer, but non taking payoff of it.
Black Americans powerfulness lack the sense of belonging too deeply rooted civilization that Africans convey from the “motherland”, too how existence African comes alongside an innate confidence from knowing-ones-self.
Most of my friends spell I was at schoolhouse were Asian, African too European immigrants. I gauge because nosotros related to each other from having unlike accents, same parental pressure/drive to succeed, humility too a high operate ethic, give-up the ghost along your caput downward too don’t stone the boat attitude.
Post-school, I’m married to a white American, nosotros alive inwards a pocket-sized town where I’m belike 1 of four dark people, too our children volition live on African-American.
I am definitely nervous virtually having to navigate this tension alongside my kids, thus I’m learning, trying too hoping for the best.
Please banknote that this post service is total of generalizations, too I solely beak for myself too the people I’ve interacted too shared stories with. Sumber http://www.dnbstories.com/
