Wonder why Asians or Hispanics or Indians or anyone else doesn't seem to have that problem. Maybe it's because black people actually have to learn everything about being a human being - just like everyone else - in order to stay alive. Liberals just don't get that.

One can only laugh at the garbage dbgarland posts ... so the majority of guests were white? Aren't the majority of Americans also white?
Apparently Blacks who did not grow up in America - for instance immigrants from Africa - are doing very well in the USA.
Nigerians ( strange) are in records numbers into Engineering ( unbeknow to me quiet a few NASA scientists are African immigrants, some from Senegal).
Soudanese ( strange) doing very well into eye surgery : many Der As Salem University students getting to LA, as this is where they can make the most money.
It seems that one issue is the conditioning Black Americans receive in the USA.
Conditioning? Not sure what you mean. But the fact that immigrant blacks do so well is more an attribute to their behavior in society than the way society views them. You could take a black man from Sudan, and one from Detroit and put them together. Why is it that anyone hiring for a job would take the Sudanese man 9 times out of 10 for a position over the man in Detroit - assuming both have equal qualifications? It's obviously not skin color.
I am suspicious that African immigrants in the US have 2 advantages :
1) the one who emigrate are usually extremely well educated and very well schooled.
I did meet one of the group of Sudanese eye surgeons : well their achievements was simply extremely impressive. Not even in Europe people would have trained so well and practiced and retrained in so many
foreign countries
2) they have the advantage of surprise : if a recruiter is expecting a "savage" , and sees a polished well behaved African, may be that plays to their advantage.
What I'd like to find out is how children from African immigrants fare within the US
system, as these would have been exposed to the youngest age to how the US views
and depicts their skin color : do they fare as badly as the one bred and raised in the US
or do they fare as well or better than their parents ? And the other questions being
did their parents need to shelter them from US conditioning?
I remember reading that some parents took on themselves to send their kids
back home when starting school, for them to return just few years before University.
What is your reasoning on why the blacks who recently immigrated from Caribbean islands do well? Most of are not educated. Many did not complete high school. They are not necessarily polished or well dressed.
Why have they succeeded? Work Ethic!. They work their butts off as taxi drivers, cleaners, in call centers, etc. Many hold multiple jobs. In the end, most are very successful.
Ah !!!! Sorry I was just looking to articles on Nasa scientists, and I was surprised to see these African immigrants. Then obviously I went to look into how the African immigrants fare in the US.
Wow : multiple jobs!!!! My total admiration for them.
A recruiter is expecting a professional. That's why they recruited the person off the CV in the first place.
Don't overlook the most obvious distinguishing characteristic between the two groups.
