I have not had that experience with other 1st generation Africans including Somalians (I've actually had really good experiences with the ones I've met) but we do have a commonality that our parents were African.
I hope that your comments weren't meant as a sweeping generalization because I'm not looking forward to the reactions of those that are of that origin, but it might be because they do not understand American-born AAs.
The fact that many of them had to work so hard (sometimes just getting lucky to win the "lottery") to come to America and find sooo many opportunities to make money, it's absurd to them to see others complain.
The poorest part of the US can't even compare to an average neighborhood where my father's from, so I can see that. I just am able to see things from both sides.
