khiaa: (A) Nigerian guy?.... Just one?. I do live in America, so I can tell you about lots and lots of people I've come in contact with, who also happen to be young and mostly single parents/ grandparents....Isn't that enough proof?. |

glitest: No it is not enough because the people you come in contact with in your own little world is not all of America and by you saying this about them is no proof at all. It's just another one of your lies and stereotyping. The reason I brought up the Nigerian guy was to show how you generalise in the positive light when it comes to Nigerians and not all Nigerians in America live this life of morality that you wish to paint. Of course there are more young single, never married Nigerians parents than him, he was used as an example. 1 Like |

khiaa: My own little world?....Pls!....stats about African American children been born to either young parents, can be found on Google....Something anyone curious, can get within a few clicks....Its also an issue/ topic an unbiased AA, would agree to.......Very different from the suppose Nigerian single parent, whom who you brought up as proof, with no evidence whatsoever......Now, tell me...Who has more facts?. Oh!....One of my lies?....You tried it |

glitest:so so stressful, bt we thank god sha. urs? |
Re: What You May Not Know About Americans by khiaa(f): 12:17am On Sep 27, 2014 |
glitest: It is only logic and common sense that not all Nigerians live a life of morality in America as well as the fact that not all Americans live a life without morals. That is not generalising. You made the comment that grandparents in America (regardless of race) are not good parents who love to party like teenagers with little regard to who takes care of the children, now you want to make it an AA thing. |
Re: What You May Not Know About Americans by Nobody: 12:19am On Sep 27, 2014 |
sameer1212: so so stressful, bt we thank god sha. urs?Not too stressful..Although, I'm getting used to this semester, after taken off the whole summer doing absolutely NOTHING related to school. |
Re: What You May Not Know About Americans by Nobody: 12:24am On Sep 27, 2014 |
khiaa: Pls!...Get your facts straight.....You're looking for an audience. I stated at the end of my comments, that my opinion was solely referred towards young AA mothers/grandmothers....Something you clearly referred to, the first time you quoted me....First you claimed my comment was referred to all AA grandparents, now all races?...... This is the same person who called me a liar for stating a fact that even CNN reported just last year? And you call me a liar?...You really do need to get back on track. |

glitest: You are a liar. Reread your original post. You said all that crap about AMERICAN grandparents excluding NIGERIANS and IMMIGRANTS. Now that I called you on it and asked you for proof you want to change it to an AA thing. LMAO!! CNN, now I understand your ignorance and stereotyping. |
Re: What You May Not Know About Americans by UyiIredia(m): 1:00am On Sep 27, 2014 |
Sweetlemon: Yeah we all think America is a liberated, free country for all. But what we do not know is that to some extent, there are things that Americans still practice despite all the feminism and human rights movements, some even outdated. Sure these things are true. Heck many of my favourite gospel books are American, and I will never tire of Don Moen, he has a nice voice. But then the faster you deal with a challenge, the better. So if they are getting liberal and between fools, thieves and liars Africans are hearing of what was virtually unknown amongst them, one must act quick before what happened in Europe and Russia repeats itself in the Americas and in Africa. |

khiaa: You call me ignorant, when you can simply comprehend crap. I do admit that my first six comments was referenced towards Americans in general, which I clearly wasn't the only one on the thread, who found that to be a bit ridiculous. The only time i made a comment towards a particular race, was when I stated that "most young grandmothers, partied 24/7 ". You on the other hand, do need to stay on topic; First, you claimed I called all grandparents( men and women includded), "boozers and useless "?, and now your claim I made all 7 responses to op, about Americans in general?....You need to go back and read but my comments and that of op, cos the only time I mentioned all AA( men included), was only when you brought up that of that the suppose single young Nigerian father, whom you claimed to be true....Remember that isn't a confirmed statement. Well; I was wrong mentioning CNN as a legit source, cos its obvious you do not pay attention to stuffs like that....You shouldn't have had added a smily face to your obviously dumb response..A very dumb idea. 1 Like |

glitest: You are one of those type of persons who can't admit that they are wrong and that they are liars/exaggerators, so there will be no more conversing with you. You have some growing up to do. I am done. |
Re: What You May Not Know About Americans by Nobody: 1:39am On Sep 27, 2014 |
khiaa: So now, you're trying to come off as some matured lady?...Pls; Save it. You should have ended this baseless quarrel a long time ago. Now, you suddenly are opting out of the conversation, after you realized you clearly can't make up crap any longer....Goodbye! 1 Like |

Sweetlemon: Yeah we all think America is a liberated, free country for all. But what we do not know is that to some extent, there are things that Americans still practice despite all the feminism and human rights movements, some even outdated. 1. True: Its no news, cos such applies everywhere. 2. True: Americans do take their culture seriously....Thanksgiving and Halloween. 3. No longer true: That was before the economy meltdown..The increase of working women is now at an all time high, compared to a decade ago when accomplishing the America dream was easily attainable. 4.VERY TRUE. 5. Very True.....Most find them annoying. 6. I can't help but to roll my eyes over this.....You are dead wrong....You ought to know that THOTING is the new black in America. 7.Not True: Although, Carlifornia might be about the same size as the whole of Nigeria ( if not bigger), but REALLY? 8.Very True: Most couples introduce each spouses to their parents, cos the pressure of whether or not they might get accepted or rejected by the parents, isn't an issue...They get married or stay with each other with or without their parents approval. 9. This would have been true, if we were taking about the 60's. The grand ma's of today are mostly 40 plus year olds, who act no different than their teenage daughters who party 24/7; living their a toddlers at home, for whoever to take care of. Mind you, I never included foreigners or immigrants.. This refers to just solely Americans.. I also do apologize, if I offended anyone. 1 Like |

glitest: You apologised because you know it's a lie. All american grandparents are in their 40's and boozing it up and partying like teenagers? It's people like you who lie and generalise to others who don't know any better and they take it as the truth, now tell me how did you come to know all the American grandparents in the US? Why did you stop there, tell them about the Nigerian parents and other imigrants all over the US who are out partying like their teenagers, come on tell them since you love generalising |
