Do you think that Black-Americans and Caribbean Blacks are the same type of people? |
Travel Info Being from Trinidad, people always tell me that I'm not like the Black-Americans they know. They say we have a different attitude and we are a lot nicer people. And it's a lot of white people that tell me this eh. Travel Tips No I dont. There is a mix of black and east indian people in Trinidad. Very friendly and hard working. American blacks are more African and seem to be a mixed bag of hard working to some lower elements such as gangs or rap culture obsessed with crime. I am not trying to be mean, but it seems like the americans glorify crime in their music. Trinidad seems to produce wonderful hard working people who are most desirable to our global society I hope i didnt offend anyone. Others I don't think any type of generalisation like that will work. I don't think you can just call one nation nicer than the other. It's more about culture than the color of your skin. Would you say you have the same culture as an african american even though you're from a different country? You have your own unique culture. Well, I think we are All the "same type" of people. We're all members of the Human Race. No, the carribbean islanders do wallow in ignorance like many american blacks do. This is generated from a subculture which places very little value on education. Well a lot of Caucasian Americans immigrated from Europe centuries ago. However with that being said are we the same type of people? Heritage wise yes, but there's been centuries of distance, cultural differences, lifestyles, etc. I think you just hit Human Evolution on the head. For example take two people then geographically isolate them and they evolve differently based on the environment, etc. No, they are definitely different. African-Americans and Caribbean Americans share some of their history, but the experiences of living in separate regions has changed them. American culture is different from Caribbean culture, and in many Caribbean nations, people of African origins are the majority, which also makes their experiences very different. Similarly, Africans in Africa are much different than African-Americans and Caribbean blacks. The cultures are simply different. White people in Europe are much different from white people in America, too! |
