living inside the empire feeds a different class fantasy to Black British people and the disconnect starts there

How do you know about the American belief systems? Have you been to America and lived in America. Who perceives Black Britts to have better knowledge? African American women collectively are considered the most educated among race/gender groups in the U.S., both in terms of degree attainment and educational attainment rate. Black Americans—especially Black women outpace their UK counterparts in percentage of adults holding degrees. For Black Brits the overall attainment is lower, and precise figures are unavailable. Also in America, more education correlates with liberalism rather than conservatism and right wing ideologies. That is why a certain President stated he loved the poorly educated 😒. Also the UK and America are not direct reflections they are parallel but distinct societie sometimes aligned, sometimes divergent. In America being more degreed does tend to lean towards more critical thinking

Whilst I think this is true, there is also the aspect of elitism from immigrants home countries. For example, I am Nigerian and classism and elitism is a very big issue back home.

Black British are just Africans or Caribbean, most of yall are more connected to your ethnic culture than British culture, so black British culture doesn’t exist like how African American culture. It’s just Nigerian , Jamaican etc (I’m not American)

Per your point abt justifying intervention because of “knowing better”- You can’t be more right. That’s an immediate recall to Macaulay’s Minute which established the notion of the “civilizing mission” which undergirded/justified a lot of the colonialist mission. It was a mindset as much as it was a strategy.

This is the kind of level headed, curious, reflective analysis we across the diaspora need to be sharing with each other for discussion. Wherever we are globally, there’s a unique shape of yt supremacy’s imprint on our psyche & local community norms. Commenting cause I want productive discourse to get more traction than the bickering.

What about people who know nothing about a topic but bait you into discussion just to be able to tell others how superior you think you are?

I think the uk retaining so much class structure permeates through all of us. We still have kings and queens, class is what the UK is best at and built on

They went back to Nigeria 🇳🇬 and forgot about Shango🔥 & the IFA. Back to Jamaica 🇯🇲 & they forgot about Marcus “ self🇬🇭reliance” Garvey while lacking race pride in their culture. Now we are sitting on over US &30 billion in Brand Jamaica 🇯🇲 unable to fully tap in because of our Wanna be British upper class boasy slaves inability to see greatness in themselves and those around them🇬🇭

Thank you for this. We’re so busy trying to survive in the US that we forget to look around at the world.

Thank you for the acknowledgment. For us Black Americans we BUILT OUR OWN CULTURE. We created our own style. Our own language. We fought for our rights and that fire spread around the world. We are often imitated but NEVER Duplicated. We are the blueprint.
