There is a whole bunch of reaching on both sides. I don't think AA as a whole dislike Nigerians , why would they ? They may just dislike you as a person and you happen to be Nigerian.

i think her story is more realistic. its the story of almost every rich person 'getting something' and making something out of it.
i don't like the whole "she was on her knees" sentiment. but that has more to do with us being women, than us hating certain blacks.

Naw the AA's and the Africans ( mostly Nigerians) have had discussions about the stereotypes both groups have towards the other.
I didn't think it was hate but I think there is something to it.
I've heard this about groups as a whole not individuals
Not even talking about this subject.

Really ? Like what ? Just throw some ideas out there. I think most blacks don't think of Africa as individual tribes and ethnic groups for them to have some disdain just for Nigerians.

They threw around terms like lazy and gangster and we need to leave slavery in the past because the present day white ppl didn't do that and we just you that as an excuse. I'm speaking of Africans as a whole Some of the AA threw around terms like uncivilized , AIDS and HIV ridden, suck ups

And I have heard AA's call Nigerians monkeys, jungle bunnies, African Booty Scratchers, etc. I've heard they say, "Learn to speak English," or "Nigerians are coming here and taking jobs from Blacks," or "Nigerians are here benefiting from the work Blacks did in the civil rights movement." I have seen much worse. I didn't pull it out of thin air Rumbera.
Also, I don't experience this discrimination. I look and sound American, sh!t I am American. My family experiences this does though, especially my mother. People generally have distain for an outsider attaining a high level of success in the US. They feel like she took that opportunity from a qualified American Black person. I've actually heard people say this. I didn't make it up.

I remember one of the AA girls said something like " y'all come here acting like your ish don't stink while your home country is in shambles"
Things got really really real after that
