"Living in the US is better than living in Africa."

This to me is the simple proof that the CRT arguments about the western black experience are bullshit. The basis of CRT in the US and Europe is that whites are responsible for black failure. In a nutshell, that's the thesis. The simple test for that is "Well, are there places where blacks are in control? Do blacks living in those places have a better standard of living than those in western societies?" It is obvious that in most of Africa, there are relatively pure black societies. For the true believer in CRT, the solution is absurdly simple: if whites are keeping you down, get away from whites. Go to Congo or the Central African Republic. It'll take some work, but freedom, man! You'll be free from the tyranny of the white man! It should be utopia if their theory is correct. How does it look in reality?

The Africans hate American blacks.

Can confirm. I went to a mostly black college and one of my English professors was African (no shit, it wasn't even his native language, but fair play, he spoke it better than most of the students). He absolutely hated the African American students and during private office hours would vent his frustration to me and a few other students who didn't behave the way they did. Me and the other white guy in the class were his favorite students (though he did thing we were brothers, lol), simply because we did the work and didn't just talk through class and be completely ignorant to the professor.

I feel bad for the African immigrants to the US. The people who are bright enough to escape the societies they were living in in Africa are their best and brightest. It makes sense they migrate to a more functional system. I'm sure it drives them insane watching the very-much-not-best-and-brightest blacks in the US education system given the bullhorn. There are many blacks in the US -- both African and native-born -- who are capable of living within our society and contributing great things, but they are currently in the minority, while the "waste-of-time-blacks" have the political backing of the NPC whites to monumentally fuck things up. Horrible to watch.

It's not skin color; it's culture. The worst of both cultures are currently calling the shots.
