As an American born Nigerian, I can tell you this:

even we, that are born here, are treated differently since we are Africans
even if you don't see it they do, it's all on how they take it.

eg: My mother's friend's son was with some America friends when they we were pulled over and searched, on of his friends had a car that was eventually linked to a robbery that had happend a week before, of course they all initially went to jail and when the court date came all of the american boys insisted that it was "that african kid's" gun, no lie. Only through more testing and interrogation was he proven innocent.

That's not all, I live in a small state but even here the stories of Nigerian boys being arrested, killed, etc due to actions that are not their own and the whole "gang up" in court thing is quite common

I hate to say it, but thank goodness I had a "crazy african mother" who could always scout out the "bad ones" before I could and gave me a curfew of 6 o'clock, I now a "sixth sense" when it comes to trouble LOL, but I think that most american born nigerians may have been raised this way, am i right?

I second that. A very rude awakening awaits the bobo and that is if he gets 2 leave 9ja.

Besides, who said Black Americans have a better reputation. Majority still carry with them slavish mentality.Thats why it's taken an African(Obama) to be the first Black president.

Asides, I think poster's got a huge sense of humor. He's gotta be kidding.

 

no mind the guy, when you get here, you'll see that that supposed "English" you want to start speaking is not even accepted in a  decent environment,

and that English is even like our own broken english, its what they formulated, though its accepted, notice that black americans working in an office environment, take for example CNN, dont speak that kind of English, else you'd be booted out, because you hear it in movies doesn't mean you want to speak it here and be successful

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

according to the poster that daywhen u leave 4 USA has not come yet and it wld remain dat way till u come bak 2 your senses, maybe your'e six dats why u're sayin arrant nonsense as this

@ Poster,
Brain damage, please see a doctor urgently for thorough examination to avoid total madness. sorry ehn!

But you all should no bigmodo by now, always funny with all his post of traveling out. This should be his latest idea if he eventually gets his pali

@poster

be whoever you wanna be, no one gives a bending f.uck!

Pheww, this poster is funny!

Anywayz, it's your own beeswax if u choose to be a black American but one cannot become a black American overnight, you become one by birth.

Like someone said, I hope your accent is welcoming Cuz lemme tell u, whites would accept your accent faster than AAs would. And I'm not joking, it's a fact! Besides, AAs have their own disadvantages here in the States. There's still discrimination against them at work places. So, it's your own headache.

I couldn't agree more.Some people are so funny that the word funny itself pales in their comparism.
@ poster
You would not only denigrate yo yourself in this quest but yo familyand indeed all that they may come to represent .Ny way,we can all surmise here, with your ambitions apparent,why Nigerians in diaspora av been branded with bad names.

hahah@poster, when u leave huh, wait until u leave 1st because itz gonna be a different ball game. Black American ko, Black American ni
