Africans make up just 5 percent of immigrants in the United States

Demographics. It is estimated that the 2017 population of African immigrants to the United States was about 2.1 million. According to the Migration Policy Institute, as of 2009 two-thirds of the African immigrants were from either East or West Africa.

reply

That's very low. There are 500,000 Africans in China. There's also a lot of immigration to Europe and other African countries.

reply

We are lucky to have them bro! I live in the US and we are very lucky.

reply

Yes, we are! A Harvard-educated, senior governmental economist from Kenya who lived in the U.S. had married an American woman and fathered former President Obama.

reply

How so?

And are you suggesting that immigration policy is or SHOULD BE made with an eye to benefit US, instead of just being FOR THE IMMIGRANTS? Cause, that's an interesting and important point that is often resisted by bad people.


TO be clear, I agree with you that that should be the basis of our immigration policy.

reply

There needs to be more white people emmigrating to Africa to make up the balance.

reply

There are 1-2 million Chinese in Africa now. Europeans came to Africa to exploit, colonize and enslave. That's the reason Africans are kicking countries like France out now. On the other hand, Xi thanked the African countries for voting in favor of China's admittance into the United Nations and he has created a very positive business relationship throughout Africa. China is doing amazing things on the continent.

中国人和非洲人 = 好

(I corrected the Google translate which made an error in the Chinese translation. I impress me.)

reply

China is doing this to expand global influence, it's not done for honourable reasons.

reply

When Europeans expanded their global influence, it exploited, colonized and enslaved Africans and other POC. China is building infrastructure and businesses.

reply

Europeans did that a long time ago. China is doing it now to debt trap and gain return on potential favours in the future.

reply

European vile behavior is still happening. Debt trap is Western propaganda and was debunked:

"In March 2022, Bloomberg News reported that despite China making the Western world uncomfortable with its large infrastructure projects in Africa, a deeper look into the evidence showed that the accusations towards China on doing debt-trap diplomacy in the continent, was "unfounded"."

West is upset that China is building housing. How about the U.S. build much needed housing since we have a serious homeless problem?!?!

China is returning a favor, but they would like to have positive relations with Africa. Nothing wrong with that.

reply

>European vile behavior is still happening.

In what way? Do you think China ever has "vile" behaviour? What's your opinion on Taiwan?

Openly simping for the PRC is a great look, Keelai.

reply

Israel and U.S. slaughtering tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children and women with the entitled and racist belief that they have a right to deny basic human rights to POC since 1948.

First thing China said after Oct. 7th was let us help begin the peace process with a two-state solution. U.S. sent warships and bombs.

When covid struck, 1 million Americans died because Trump & Republicans prioritized rich business owners over lives. China shut everything down and prioritized human lives. Wow! Human lives over money!

Opening one's mind and listening to other points of view instead of blindly believing propaganda from fear-mongers is a great look. I spent last summer in an attempt to learn about China from the Chinese themselves. That doesn't mean I agree with everything. But, I'm willing to listen and learn.

Right now, I'm studying comparative religions. It gave me a new perspective on several religions.

Btw, the OP's topic and racist link are part of the racist, arrogant, entitled fear-mongering in which I'm referring.

reply

WTF! You sound like Pro-CCP now, lol. Maybe go watch some China Uncensored.

reply

>Israel and U.S. slaughtering tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children and women with the entitled and racist belief that they have a right to deny basic human rights to POC since 1948.

Israel and the USA aren't part of Europe. And the USA isn't "slaughtering" anyone here.

None of this answered my question about Taiwan.

Or, for bonus points. Thoughts on Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong?

reply

American bombs and bullets kill Palestinians = Palestinians killed by Americans

American warships threaten countries from aiding or stopping carnage of Palestinians = Palestinians killed by Americans

Americans give billions in military aid and weapons to Israel which uses it to kill Palestinians = Palestinians killed by Americans

Israel would not survive long without American support and aide. They are outmanned and outmatched militarily by Iran and Turkey. Pakistan has nukes too. The U.S. repeatedly votes against international community to acknowledge Israel's war crimes and U.S. enables Israel's criminality = Palestinians killed by Americans

reply

Again, you initially said "European vile behaviour". Neither Israel or the USA are European.

>Israel would not survive long without American support and aide. They are outmanned and outmatched militarily by Iran and Turkey. Pakistan has nukes too.

Okay? Are you suggesting you want Iran and Turkey to invade Israel?

And now it's all funded by your hero Joe Biden.

reply

Joe Biden funded the coup in Niger? What?

reply

Stupid cut and paste not working.

reply

Trump and Republicans are even more pro-Israel generally. I doubt much would change there if there was a Republican president.

reply

Your revisionist history is dead wrong, Commie.

reply

Ah, China and Africa, both shining jewels in the crown of human rights.

At a human rights hearing this week, Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) exposed the Chinese Communist Party for its egregious exploitation of children in Africa—especially the labor trafficking of more than 40,000 children in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)—to mine cobalt, lithium and various rare earth minerals in order to control this critical part of the global supply chain.

Don't worry, Keelai, he's a Republican so you can blindly accuse him of bullshitting.

"That's the reason Africans are kicking countries like France out now. "
Indeed, because France is a civilized country and would block such exploitation.

reply

n Africa now. Europeans came to Africa to exploit, colonize and enslave. That's the reason Africans are kicking countries like France out now.


Europeans didn’t enslaved anyone, they were already enslaved by other Africans. The Europeans traded for those slaves.

The Europeans are also the ones that ended slavery. Countries like France outlawed slavery in 1794. Meanwhile in 2023 African still has an estimated 7 million slaves.

reply

You're attempting to relieve your guilty conscience by making up history.

Europeans enslaved each other (Slavs) and eventually Indigenous Americans.

Europeans created a slave system based solely on skin color and denied to them ALL human rights. None of that existed in Africa nor any other society. Historically, slaves were made up of criminals as their punishment and war prisoners. And they still had some human rights.

Europeans were so greedy and cruel that parts of Africa were depopulated.

EUROPEANS TOOK IT TO A WHOLE NEW EVIL LEVEL!

BTW, slavery still exists in the U.S..

reply

"France outlawed slavery in 1794"

BULL!!!!! Haiti had to fight to end French slavery! Then, the French bâtards extorted so much money from Haiti that it went from being the richest place in the Western hemisphere to the poorest.

European slavery to colonialism to economic exploitation which still continues. There is a reason why African nations are kicking the French out and embracing the Chinese.

reply

Great post!
Most of the guys coming over from MX are Africans. Our borders are a mess…
Plus the agenda being pushed about white woman and black men.

Soft genocide. Eventually the world will run out of white women, they are aware of that, correct? If not, then the agenda is pretty clear.

Those that voted against Trump are complicit in that.

reply

And guess which ethnic group they experience the most racism from? It ain't whites; it's black Americans. Ironic, don't you think?

reply

That's because African Immigrants and Black Americans do not share the same culture what so ever, and are fundamentally not the same in any way.

reply

Yeah, I mean, I'm not the only white person to get along well with African immigrants and visitors to the US (I even dated one, no joke), whereas you'd probably hear a lot of African Americans accuse them of being snobby or "Oreos," where they look black on the outside, but are really "white" on the inside and are seen as "traitors" because they chose to adopt "white" culture instead of black street culture. Honestly, I've met African immigrants who have better manners, work ethic, and brains than your average African American.

At current rates, we can expect over 12 million encounters in the first term of Joe Biden's presidency.

That's nearly as much as the preceding 3 terms combined.
