Many Africans confuse economic opportunities with social justice. They are used to being oppressed economically by people who look like them. So they come here, make money, live good and seem to think everything is great because its better than where they come from.
This sweeping generalization. You are just as bad as her.
Clearly I can't speak for all, but I will say this, MANY Africans who live in the US feels this way. And please save me with the all of Africa is not poor, bla bla blah. I have traveled extensively in Africa, I was married in Africa to an African. I have had to educate many of them on black oppression, systematic racism and the long lasting affects slavery and Jim Crow has had on the black American mentality.
It is a sweeping generalization, and unfortunately it is mostly true. The majority of Africans, specifically Sub Saharan Africans, would love to move to the USA if given the opportunity. After dealing with poverty and extreme economic oppression, the USA would look like a fantasy land to them. So they ignore the plight of the African American, because they feel that we should be "thankful" for what we have. Which is an easier access to healthcare, education and economic opportunities, despite systematic racism.
