As an AA I've seen quite a few Africans and diaspora people dating white people. In my experiences I've seen a lot of Ghanians do this. I have to admit I do feel some kind of way about this. People tend to believe that marrying a white man is easier because he "has no culture," they think he is more open minded. People forget that Europeans are "open minded" because they have had years of traveling around the world taking ownership of other people and those people's lands. One or two interracial relationships are hardly anything to fuss over but I find the rapid increase tragic. People of African descent have worked so hard for independence only to have their daughters and sons look for beauty and love outside themselves.

Please don't mistake what I am saying for hatred because I do not hate white people. What I see is that over time interracial families will have descendants who lose interest in their African roots in exchange for favor of European culture. Let's not forget how the 'West' portrays the African continent as a whole, how television programs depict it as a monolith void of diversity and incapable of leading itself. These were common opinions of many European scholars who unfortunately wrote many of the first books about Africa the rest of the world was exposed to. As an African American I had to sift through much of this propoganda to learn about my heritage. I have sat down with white people from all over the world who casually speak of Africa as if it is nothing, as if their version of truth is the only one that matters.

The question is, will children of interracial marriages be molded in the image of a Nigeria, Ghanian, Togolese, etc? Will you be able to say you are truly raising them in an "African house" or will your culture be relegated to a few books on shelves or Yoruba words they hear in your phone conversations with relatives abroad. Recently I ran into a beautiful black South African girl. Her mother brought her to the US when she was 2 years old and never taught her what tribe she was from or anything about the town they left. She told me her mother said "just be glad you're American now" and was pushing her to find white guys to marry. This hurt me a lot! This isn't just a Diaspora issue, it's an African one too and its growing! I feel like there is something black women feel they're not getting from black men. It has to do with the environment and how harshly they may feel they are treated and we have to make it better or we lose everything.

On one hand, I believe the world is becoming globalised and we should all work towards it but on the other hand, we have to face our reality. The world is not colour blind, the world's nicest and most objective person would still make that mistake on race. Whether or not you have never been to Africa, whether or not you speak an African language....inasmuch you have a black sin, you cannot escape the reality therefore I believe we ought to start taking supreme pride in who we are. However we should also try to balance it with the way we see the world.

You are like Missy89 and Sagamite both of them are nemesis to half-baked scholars

No one can ever be like Sagamite o.

I am a God on Earth.

But I am not surprised a smart girl is flogging the cretin called SirShymexx. When someone is a cretin who never uses his brain, he would always be found out by smart people.
