Yeah, the Ghanians, Guyanese, South Africans.... Basically any black group that arrived in the 20th century and beyond behaves nothing like the slave descendents who arrived in the centuries beforehand.
If I was a successful black immigrant from one of those groups... I would be TERRIFIED of my child growing up and identifying with the slave-descendents and absorbing their culture.
It happens in Britain, of all places, you fucking know it is happening in the US.
It's the opposite of the slave degenerate effect. It being fairly hard to immigrate here from Africa means that you get the most ambitious Africans. Whereas the slaves were bred to be compliant, among other things.
