Working With Africans

[Pioneer1]

When I got fired from my old job for refusing to take the vaccine, was facing homelessness, and ended up finding a new job doing PHYSICAL work at my age.....it was so disappointing.

Part of me was happy that I was able to find SOMETHING to maintain a decent income and keep the bills paid but another part of me was angry and frustrated that I didn't have more and why I wasn't in a better situation.

The actual job itself isn't the best, but one of the things I love about it is the opportunity I now have to work with so many Africans from around the Continent.
I'm not sure why but nearly a THIRD of the labor force I work with are Black Africans from over 30 different African countries!
I'm talking DOZENS and DOZENS.....over 100.

The women are BEAUTIFUL and come in all shapes and sizes!

The men are smart but very protective.

I also notice that the Africans seem to get along with White folks AND Latinos better than AfroAmericans.

I have my theories on why that is, but it's just one of the things I've noticed.

But it seems as if tension between the Africans and AfroAmericans are brewing a bit.....and it's over sex and women.

Most Africans are looking for a better life so they'll keep their heads down and work to stack paper. They accept racism as part of the cost.

Africans actually love AfroAmericans but 1) media propaganda has led them to believe the worst about AfroAmericans and 2) in a warped way they feel like AfroAmericans should do more to help them despite the fact that they sold and left us here.

 

As I've mentioned before, there's a heavy African presence in my family.  Some of them had to be re-educated.

 

The most beautiful thing is being able to show Africans that many AfroAmericans are doing very well. We're not as dysfunctional as white folks have led them to believe. 

 

Don't get it twisted...tethers do exist. We gotta keep their heads ringing or they'll stay on that BS.

Understanding that is key.  Similalrly, Africans are not as dysfunctional as have led us to believe. Finally white folks are not superior as they have led us to believe.

 

Whether we are working with Africans or African Americans any difficultly is a function of our greed fueled system.

Africans do have whole countries they could develop and thrive instead of fleeing to white countries and working for them.

 

It would be great if Africans had their home countries on lock and built real strategic alliances with AfroAmericans as investors. We're not there yet.

I know, and I don't blame them one bit.
It's wise to do what's best for your life and don't get caught up in the politics of a nation you know little to nothing about.

Well, to be honest I really do think we SHOULD have more to offer them myself.
We've been in this nation long enough to have hospitals, stores, and industries as well as housing and entire communities not only for ourselves but for other's who want to live with us.

 

We should be able at this point TO provide jobs and housing for ourselves and others.
If not on the scale of Caucasians, atleast far more than what we have today.

Large scale investment in most African nations by our people would probably require the type of security that is provided by private contractors like the U.S. military uses.

If we invest in projects and start making the type of returns we wish to see, you KNOW it will invite "pirates" to the party...lol.

AfroAmericans aren't codified well enough to offer anything here.

Right. I'd like to know why AfroAmericans didn't build a whole bunch of sh8t starting in the 1970s.

Yep. Mainly because AfroAmericans haven't built strategic alliances there. 

 

AfroAmericans do not own a whole country of land and natural resources. Africans have it. They make the rules there too.

 

I know why Prince Akeem and Semmi came here:

 

Otherwise, this Uber driving sh8t and working in nursing homes doesn't add up.

I'll give you 2 answers:

1. Heroin

2. Integration.

Integration was by far the BIGGEST reason because before so-called "integration" Black folks were doing far better than any ethnic or immigrant group in the U.S. today outside of the Anglos or Jews.
We had our stores, bus lines, schools, entire towns, etc...
You name it, we had it.

 

But so-called integration tapped into the "laziness" of our people and convinced many of them to sell off most of their institutions and beg and sue to be apart of White institutions in the 60s and 70s.

They let Black people in JUST LONG ENOUGH for them to abandon their own businesses and let them collapse.
Once the Black businesses were gone....then they started kicking Black folks out of White ones and repealing affirmative action.

True.

 

Integration lulled Black folks into a false of complacency that they were moving on up like The Jeffersons and racism was almost dead.

 

Those folks are living off their retirement and social security and shrugging their shoulders because they made it and the future generations need to figure it out.

 

You'll find many of that generation taking bus trips to casinos as one-armed bandits sitting at a machine trying to get paid, er, win more money.

 

Drugs devastated Black communities on a number of levels. One level was many of those integrated, hardworking Black folks had offspring who fell into drug addiction and lost everything their families had built. 

 

As I mentioned in another thread, Black drug dealers should have sold dope exclusively to white folks and used their money to build Black wealth.
