Caribbean Woman Says Black Americans Squander Their Opportunities?!

A Caribbean woman from Dominica claims Black Americans are born into opportunities that immigrants have to fight to obtain — and that Black Americans squander those opportunities. But is being born in America the same as having equal access to opportunity? In this Taj360 reaction, we examine the heated exchange over immigration, Black American history, slavery, generational trauma, and the differences between immigrant experiences and the historical experiences of Foundational Black Americans (FBA). Black Americans have a unique history in the United States, and the opportunities available today cannot be separated from that history. **Do you agree with her argument, or is she overlooking the Black American experience?** Drop your thoughts in the comments.
