Who Looks Better: Africans Or Black Americans?

As to the topic:

I can not tell the difference between AA men and Nigerian men. I must live in some weird bubble because the Nigerian men I meet are all thick and black, quite a bit thick. It is very sexy to me, when I see a beautiful blackman and he opens up his mouth and out comes that accent. I am always shocked that the person was not an African American.

I think in my case, it seems Nigerians are more like regular AA to me in the way they dress and carry themselves, at least here in America where I live.

They seem to have it because they have the nerve (LOL) to step to me, and treat me as some woman who will love dey dirty draws, if they can get me to give them a chance. This alone always excites me.

Even those who do not have it can be appealing. It is nice to be with a beautiful blackman who does not know his own value and thinks you are the world.

I know some skinny blackmen who will rock your world, everything about a skinny person is not always skinny. 

A thin strong body has it's appeal also.

For me, Blackmen are Blackmen. Their beauty and appeal is not always known just by looking at them. No matter where they come from.

African women -- are honestly a mystery to me. Some are very beautiful of course. I better leave that one alone. Smile. 

Chinani,

Some African women say some cold things -- and because I do not have an insiders point of view, i.e. I am not on their 'inner circle' list. I have been unable to figure out if they are just 'playing' (for lack of a better word) as I of course know immeadiately that the AA woman who says that type of cold stuff is just playing.

For instance, if I see an AA woman get all indignant and act real uppity and snobby and cold towards someone --
I know that I could enter that woman's office and shut that door and me and her would have a real good laugh at the idea that she just made that person believe that she is that hard and cold, when in fact, she really thinks the exact opposite way and just believes that this type of harsh talk that is unnatural to her -- is what is required for that person because they are a jerk and deserve it. Smile.

I suspect it is the same with African women but am never quite sure, sure. Since it is clear to me that I am being given the long handled spoon treatment. Barriers between me and continental African women do not seem to break down as easily as those between me and continental african men.

If she is just playing -- then she is beautiful and better at the game then AA women.

If she is not just 'playing', then having this attitude for real would make her a very ugly person to me. Thus unappealing.

There in lies the mystery for me. Since I hardly ever see the beauty/ugliness of someone as simply what the outside of a person looks like. (i.e. other factors such as how manly the person is come into play for me being attracted to them.)

Chinani,

Thank you. That is good to know. I feel relieved. Smile.

Most of you are just born liars, or tryin too hard too support Africans, Are you kidding?  Africans look better than African American. (lies) Thats just trash. them niggaz look better than Africans, Their girls are amazing , sexy. Nigerian girls don't come close to them. I love Nigerian girls but we just have to be honest here.

Unibend,

What does my carrying myself an African American has to do with contemporary Africans.  I am honoring my Africans ancestors that was brought to this country.  It really has nothing to do with living Africans.  It simply means I am not ashame to admit my African ancestors.  It really, really has nothing to do with you.

@Drussila
like some bit of your blog,where are u from

So are you trying to say that AA's don't possess that type of variety? 

@drusilla
hey ma,how are u,u are quite right in your blog,i have most whites(not all),i meet trying to pull the"you are not african american"bullshit on me,and i check them on the spot,i will not have any of that
i wish we could talk so i can tell you my own perspective,as an african who has just been in america for only 3yrs
cheers

@Drusilla
you see the problem is that most africans have not taken the time to learn about the true history of this country
the one question i will ask them is,if there were no african americans in america,how would life be like for us just coming to the country now?
Also in africa,growing up as a kid my role models were african americans,from will smith(fresh prince),to boyz to men,to 2pac. .so i can't come here now and believe all the bullshit
Have u read muhammed ali's the greatest(autobiography),its as much a civil rights story as an account of his life,and one of the strangest things(among many),i learnt from the book was that,muhammed ali and his friends would sometime dress up like Africans and fake a foriegn accent just to get served in local restaurants in louville kentucky,because Africans could be served but not african americans. .now how hateful is that?
i do have white friends though,and do date white chicks and african american ones,so i am not prejucided,am just imformed about my people. .cheers.

There is this african guy that works at taco bell, lol just a part time job i guess while going to school. Any way i don't care he drives a nice suv. I believes he is from either nigeria or liberia. Thats mostly what we have in my city, more liberians. Any way he is so gorgeous! He has brown skin, juicy lips, his eyes are slightly slanted. I can't tell through that taco bell out fit a beast is waiting to be unleashed! He is tall, his body looks natually built, his arms his butt. Woooooowee! I'm just going to stop there but i am telling u this guy, i want him. He has that sexy accent. I don't go to taco bell that often but when i saw him i go all the time! How should i approach him? I want that man! Slip him my number in the drive through? Advice advice?

Silly topic,

Comparing nearly 40 million AAs that don't look alike since they all come from various places and have different admixtures to a continent of 900 million people that have various looks as well!! LOL!!

I see some people saying that we all come form the same place. That's not entirely true. All black people didn't come from Africa. Some are form South America. I thought my ancestors were form Africa, but they're not. My original ancestors were from South America. Check the history books, if you're in disbelieve, b/c I was.   

all black people come from africa. whether you are in south ameria, the carribean, europe, asia, if you are black or have in you, your ancestors came from africa. the original inhabitants of south america are native americans. blacks and white later came in.

i don't want to make this a race thing but that's my problem with black folks in general. instead of recognizing the real root, they only give credtit to something that has to do nothing with them. they always try to find a way around africa. i've heard people say "my ancestor's are from jamaica or so and so". No, your ancestor's are from Africa. take it like that. no one is going to accept you until you accept yourself first.

@ topic

sometimes its hard to tell. A lot of AAs are generally very presentable, but that doesnt mean a surprising number of Africans arent also drop dead gorgeous. Forget the media hype which doesnt give the real picture.


and given the unusually high demand for African guys by the black [and non-black] diaspora, clearly most Africans arent too bad on the eyes or how else can one explain the phenomenon.

or maybe its the inner beauty people are looking at.
