When reading the OP topic, all I read are nothing but stereotypes Africans have for African-Americans and knowing how people fake it so much on this forum, I can tell the OP is as African-American as I am. |

DaRapture's "I'm-better-than-you-because-I'm-American" attitude is ridiculous. There are Africans who don't care for African descendants in the west and they too have a superiority complex. That's wrong, but it's also wrong for you to come on a Nigerian forum and say you're better than them because of where they came from and the environment they live in. The superiority complex is wrong on both sides. And just so you know, those particluar folks you met don't represent an entire continent. I know some black men from countries like Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast who are cool with me and have no qualms with Afro-Americans. Stop acting like every African person you meet speaks for the whole continent because they don't. That's like saying every Muslim is a terrorist. You also said you're not interested in mingling with the natives. You might as well stay in the U.S. And what makes you think an AA nation will be the most prosperous or well developed? I don't know if you know this, but black communities in the U.S. are in dire straits. You got Arabs, Mexicans, and Koreans owning almost all the stores and salons in American black neighborhoods. They've pretty much taken over. The unemployment rate is still high among the youngsters. You got this silly gender war going between American black men and women, especially on the Internet (go to Youtube and you can see and hear the constant bashing they do to each other). You got black folks moving out of black neighborhoods because of the knuckleheads killing each other over nonsense. So no, Afro-Americans are not in good shape at all. I personally think it's over for blacks in the U.S. due to the things I mentioned, but I hope I'm wrong. Now, I'm not attacking you. I'm simply stating the facts and why you shouldn't have a God complex. As you may know, I've come after Africans who feel the way you do. I've told them numerous times, especially Pagan 9ja, how they are ignorant and foolish, so don't think I'm being bias. I'm not. 5 Likes |

Negro_Ntns: If you look in any African American neighborhood in US you will notice that the economy is usually around the following types of services - gas station and corner store, laundromat, cash checking place, bill payments and payday loans, fast tax filing and returns, hair, nail and saloon, barber shop, hotels and motels, pawn shops, restaurant and churches. Apparently you haven't been to thriving black communities in the USA. For example, there are many neighborhoods in Atlanta, GA that are filled with successful doctors, lawyers, engineers, real estate agents, etc. I'm an African American Female Mechanical Engineer, so I speak from experience. If the media and others would portray these parts of America, there would be more positive influences. 1 Like |

Blyss: I'm pretty sure this thread was started by MsDarkSkin under a different handle. Naw Msdarkskin will never be caught "shymmexing" (pretending to be a different NLder). Anything I need to say will be under names that are OBVIOUSLY me when banned but strictly as "Msdarkskin". The OP is an obvious troll though. |

Brielle86: Another thing I wanted to share is that Dark African women and men are going to be extinct by 2050 or somewhere about that time. People who were born African American and their parents, their parents of the same color with me, Dark Skin, are going to be extinct. Because of low self-esteem, we are mixing with other cultures instead of our own. Dark skinned people are slowly getting lighter and lighter because that's what is in now. Lol where did you hear that? Or did you watch this video as inspiration to come up with bull? lol. That is the fate of whites actually. Africans and East Indians are expected to double/triple in size between 2040-2070. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6pzPp1Q2ew from the comments: Damn white people better start playing nice cause their future don't look too good. Im white and this is the first time black people have scared me. why are you scared? Because of all the shit they have done we better start treating the world better or where bleeped lmfao. sh*t is NOT that serious. If anything it really ought to be blacks and indians who should fear this. So you think western nations will still be able to afford increasing food aid to Africa in 2060? lol the way things are going with EU economy it will be lucky to last another 5 year.Soon = mass starvation in Africa when food aid stops! that's the sad reality. |

I dont blame you for hating yourself. Society portrays you as overweight, weave wearing, angry women. you have been sold into slavery by your own people. You in a white mans world, same people who enslaved you. Your people were better off as slaves. this is just an observation. |

TisaBone: This is where you make your mistake. You have a view of self based on how white people view you. Imagine how different your views would be if you would allow yourself to make a decision without their blessing. I'll never be a n****. This is the different between an enslaved/colonized mind and one that is not. 1 Like |

MamiWata: Amen, so cause a white woman said same difference we all should see each other's as Ni$&@$, whatever lol. What she doesn't understand is this sentiment by some whites are nothing new. Some african Americans have done it to some foreign whites, and I have witnessed these whites tell and correct them that they are white British, Russian, and etc so I feel black Africans have a right to demand that respect as well when we are grouped together with non-black africans and etc. I've seen Africans correct some whites about this and they respect it and don't cross that line, regardless of how they feel. Tisabone had the chance to correct her but accepted it cause she agrees since her community identifies with being identified by their race and being labeled NI$&@&@, and feels Africans should since a white lady told her that. What she doesn't understand is that shows lack of respect on that ladies part in not respecting the differences in black cultures when it comes to identification. Any way I've bumped into white people that Respect and know the difference between a Haitian, Jamaican, and Nigerian. The only blacks I see embrace the label ni&&@ amongst themselves is Africans Americans, some not all, especially with the young generation and hip-hop/rap industry but get mad when white Americans step and mention it to them. I don't get how you can embrace a negative word amongst your community then get mad when whites mention it. Any way their issue, they just shouldn't drag africans into that nonsence. |
