The is a large Irish population in Boston. Irish American are very receiving to their Irish brothers and sisters and celebrate their heritage. The same goes for Italian American organizations, Polish and German. Is it because many black Americans don’t know what their ethnicity is that they are not receiving to black immigrants?

1) Black American "self-hatred".

2) Cultural differences (the cultural differences between Africans and African Americans tend to be greater than those between Irish and Irish-Americans, for example).

3) Africans "looking down" upon Black Americans for:
a) Stereotypical reasons
b) The fact that many Black Americans have minute shards of European ancestry

   Possibly because the warlords and dictatorial presidents currently in Africa are creating a bad image for African Americans.

   Too black people all over the world, nationality means very little. We view our race as a unifying quality. Whereas whites and Europeans need to separate themselves from each other.

   That is why we accept people who are as dark as tay diggs and light as tiger, whether they are famous are not. We are probably the most accepting and tolerant people when it comes to race and identity.
