Ms Foxy, have you considered some of it my be envy? This is the land of opportunity, some people may come here with a chip on their shoulder because they CHOSE TO COME HERE versus STAY at their island of origin

This is one of the weathist nations in the world (and some may argue one of the more morally corrupt...but that's a whole 'nuther thread) and unfettered (to some extent) by a lack of a caste system that enables some to amass great wealth from their own undertakings not an inheritance. How many other places in the world can that happen, especially for people of color? Taken from a global perspective, as much as we (black folks) may complain about things here, we in some respects MAY (I'm not going out on a limb and saying this is the best place to be because it probably isn't) have it kinda easy compared to the rest of the world for people of color.

I knew some people of color from South Africia...they were just amazed about the OPPORTUNITIES available..racism didn't bother them here because of what they had lived through over there.
