Creating toxic competition between African-Americans is a foundation of Anti-Negrophilia. Slave owners staged fights between their slaves as a form of gambling and entertainment, and this tragically continues to be a part of the African-American experience, whether its East Coast vs. West Coast rappers, or debates about whether Lebron is greater than Jordan—conversations that don’t occur with white artists, athletes, or others. American society continues to foster toxic competition between African Americans—a “divide and conquer” mentality that is central to Anti-Negrophilia.

Competition for jobs and housing can be intense in communities with high levels of poverty and unemployment.
