how many of you think this is still about Mr Floyd?

Okay, here’s more info to chew on.

An African emigrant comes to America, they don’t have to deal with the shitty legacy of slavery.

which is what? The Korean mind set of HAN i describe a few posts back? They suffer from a post traumatic stress disorder from BEING SLAVES, or enduring starvation and sheer brutality at the hands of the Japanese. Black people in america most of the do not even know who if anyone in their family were slaves as not all blacks were enslaved. some immigrated and own slaves themselves. in fact the first slave owner in savanna was black and there is even a momument of him in a part they still haven't torn down. in fact according to an 1930 census 2% of slaves own were owned by free black land owners. https://www.connectsavannah.com/savannah...id=2160247

Even when they’re coming to America to study (and in cases like this, it’s usually college) they still grew up in a system That doesn’t try to hamper their abilities.

clearly you did not read the articles. most coming here have nothing and are escaping a tyrannical government, sex slave traDE AND WAR LORDS. You know real oppression and literal modern day chattle slavery.
here is a ABC new report on just one of the more popular issues they dealt with: https://abcnews.go.com/International/nig...d=23620945
re are the 10 most biggest economic problems: https://www.legit.ng/1116681-what-10-eco...geria.html

Bottom line no one here black or white would willing immigrate there. and the other thing you said, they do not have access to education. in the missing school girl story note that ABC says they have to ship their kids out of country to boarding schools.

So everything you just point out is crap. The Nigerian people have real world recognized problems. Islamic war lord Corrupt government literal 3rd world poverty, starvation, rampant sickness and no hope of recovery, yet again if our system was designed to target and exclude black people, then the Nigerian immigrants would not be able to do better than all other races including whites.

Remember, as the video states, like Kevin and Jamal inheriting different circumstances, Jamal and (say) Adewale inherit different circumstances. Adewale’s circumstances may end up being closer to a Black kid raised in a more upper-class milieu than Jamal, let’s call him Mike Mackenzie. Fact is, the intricacies of the subject can be extremely complicated.

again Adewale's are so bad Jamal's parent would not trade their situation for Adewale's. meaning Adewale's is far worse yet he does 10xs better. look at the complete picture and you can not escape this fact.

since 1920 the country of gauna has been repatriating black Americans back to Africa upto 100 people per year. This video follows 2 of those people (3000 total since the beginning) both of them cite preservation of their families as gauna still has very strong family values. Gauna is not nigeria, by all accounts it is far better. even then our people don't want to trade their situation even our poorest do not want to trade their currect situation to live in a second/ world country. meaning Adewale's situation is far less desirable, and yet produces far more successful black people. if what you say is true and adewale's situation is an upper middle class situation, then why won't our poorest black people go to gaunna which is far better off and more stable than nigeria?

Frankly, I’d love to see a take on the “same resume, different names” test that accounted for white-sounding names, Black-sounding names, and African-sounding names. How would they fare differently?

again i honestly think this was an issue maybe 30 years ago but again nigerians with their crazy 'does he even speak clicks and tocks' sounding names, taking high paying jobs. no one is targeting Jamel on that level. You either know your shit or you dont.

I suspect that simply because the fully Americanized names aren’t quite affiliated with African-American culture, the immigrants may have an advantage over them, especially when The word comes out about how well they do in comparison.

dude.. I am an employer, and if there is any discrimination to be had and if all things are other wise equal, you pick the guy who's primary language is English unless you are filling a specific need or position. why? miscommunication, less prone to things being misunderstood or things getting lost in translation. remember i grew up in a multilingual house hold and know you start out 10 spaces ahead if everyone speaks the same dialect of the same language. there may be a novelty at first but that wears off if dude is incompetent. his only saving grace is he really smart quick learner and does not have to be micromanaged. which is what the study/paper i post spoke on. (that being the reason why Nigerian immigrants out perform not just black people , but all other races over here.)
they have all the governement programs and subsidies working for them plus they worker harder. that is the bottom line. not skin color or where you were born. it is a mind set. of i will earn and work hard verse you owe me so i will sit and wait for my check.

The question of why African-Americans Don’t do as well as white people has been on the minds of sociologists long before Africans started to emigrate in large numbers voluntarily, so there’s been less research on the latter.

there is no debate. it is lack of family. the government of the united states more over the democratic party seeking to keep the black american down had destroyed his foundation of family and support structure. in that the government pays benefits in far greater number to the single mom than having mom and dad under one roof raising their kids. If you look at the strong African nations in africa like nigeria they all have a common thread. strong family values. then you look at the war torn countries with tribal factions always infighting.. single moms with as many kids as she can bare and keep alive. This is not just a black problem either we are starting to see it in white communities as well, with a 50% divorce rate. when the family goes, so too goes society.
