I find the perspectives of black immigrants so interesting. America's soft power is unparalleled, though I believe it is because her hard power is so elusive. It's like a drone raining destruction from above. On the ground, you have no idea that shining star you see in the sky as the benevolent America, Is America blowing your country to shit.
All that you know of America is her soft power so once you get there, you ignore all types of injustice, you just explain it away. It's no wonder black immigrants are so off code in many instances, they're just so grateful to be in the magical place they didn't know was helping destroy their country.
Having black immigrants or their children represent FBA in Congress and or whatnot is such a best case scenario for white supremacy: I can imagine they think we're fucking crazy! "Reparations for slavery and such? My mama leg was blown off!"
I think it so difficult regarding black immigrants because people (in general) are very hard-pressed to believe that everything is connected. The West is wealthy not in spite of, but BECAUSE the global South is war-torn.
I think the scales of "Lady Justice" may be the best representation of how white supremacy "thinks." In order for some to be up, others have to be put down. Justice is dependent on injustice and so America has to create injustice, inside and out or she thinks she'll die. It's quite delusional when you think about it. In order for you to have justice, you must create injustice.
