tweets about how embarrassing it is to be black/African and how Africa or "the black community" is never going to make it go around then and again and the atmosphere usually is one of deep pessimism because lots of people seem to believe it. but how true is it?

embracing Americanness as a black person shows a deep lack of self-esteem and dignity x.com/OrbitAssoc/sta…
considering their history in America, how they are treated right now (eternal loser victims who are only good for minstrel and mandingo shows i.e sports and entertainment, and as mascots for progressivism) — and their dim future prospects, America is no place for ADOS to be

some people who agonize over black America's current state and would like to see it prosper often advocate for increasing the marriage rate and similar such things, pointing to the statistical correlation between individual prosperity and a stable two-parent upbringing
