I am a C'bbean ouman and I've been asked many times if I am Nigerian, they said it's my feature. Once or twice I've been asked if I am Ghanian, they also said it's my feature. However, I find some Africans’ attitude toward C'bbean women a little anti-social.
I remember telling this African dude that my father was Nigerian and my mother is C'bbean and he said that I am not really an African and my blood’s not pure. And so I said, "well we all are one and he must remember that Africa was decimated by slavery.
We need to get out of this trbal mentality. African vs c'bbean vs african american and especially africans vs africans It is because of this tribal mentality thats why we keep killing each other.
Africa is separated into distinct tribal areas, which are also split into micro-tribes, which as they grow, push and strain at each other. Add into that mix, groups separated by religion, people wanting power and you have an ever evolving mix of people who all know the "one way to live".
Until we rid ourselves of Dominance ,Power Control, envy and greed we'll never get along. And to all the Africans countries who are fighting against each other, I am of the opinion that no outside use of force can bring peace, only a leader of strong morals and convictions can do that, and who knows if we will ever see such a leader stand up and lead without getting gunned down.
Life is too short for people to be worrying about their identity. And I think that's another reason why, Africa as the Motherland will not survive the crises they face today. And who to blame? "us"
Peace
