Who loves and hates America: a graph!

[Eddie Teach]

How many African immigrants have made millions playing sports once they get there?

Dikembe Mutumbo & Manut Bol are the only ones that come to mind but i just like saying their names over and over.

Hakeem Olajuwon and Christian Okoye as well.

Take a look at any NFL roster.  African names all over the place.  They're the new Samoans.

Not to mention all the Africans who come over here to play college hoops in hopes of making it big.  Not all do, of course.

Check washing, credit card fraud and bank fraud is a lot easier to commit here than it is all the way in Nigeria.

[The Brain]

Indeed. American security is a joke.

If you take a closer look beyond their name you'll find that they're american born.

Doesn't really refute my point though.  African family immigrates to the US, their sons grow up to be gigantic Mandingo warriors and make a mint playing defensive line.

But the original inmigrants didn't move so their kids could play football, that was one unforeseen consequence.

That is a very liberal definition of 'very well' there.

Silicon savannah is really taking off thanks to that new East African net cable and a rather good minister they have. They've been posting some rather good general growth numbers too.

Haven't the killings already started in their latest election campaign?

So what?  You think the parents are upset their kids got full ride scholarships and are making a million a year?  You think the extended family back in the old country is upset?

Of course not, but that was not their objective in the first place. It's icing on the cake.

What percentage of African immigrant off-spring do you think get a full ride?  75-80%?

A thousandth of a percent?

I wasn't really 100% serious that Africans like the US because all their immigrants go pro.

But I tend to think they view the US green card lottery as pretty nice, and that once the immigrants get here they're treated pretty well.

Pretty anemic growth lately, barely keeping up with population growth...and not to mention the recent political unstability.
