I'd like to know from all the true africans what do you feel about african-americans who
make fun of africa.
Some of the people i hear make jungle noises,or click their tongues,or think africa a country not a continent.I had to stomp a someone out for making fun of Nigeria.
I don't play that.

Oh, my ,mistake i said Africa is country not continent when i meant the other way around.

Greed - i feel sad when i hear of african americans making fun of Africa - one big problem is they have been made to feel ashamed of thier Africaness from the days of slavery - slaves were made to feel that being african is synonimouus with being primitive - Sooooo many tried to distance themseleves from thier african origins. But there was a re awakening of pride in thier african origins in the 70s.However , lets call a spade a spade- has Africa offered these blacks in dispora anything to be proud of, ?? - its always talk of poverty,disease,bad governance,coups,currouption, faminewars etc,

But they should at least help were their ancestors are from.Most of them use the n word so much it makes me sick,even spanish people say it to each other.
But yet a white person say's and they wanna kill them.
When african-americans call me the n word i say don't call me that i'm nigerian and at leat i know were my ancestors are from.

Greed i understand how u feel - just try to educate them - remind them if a wht person called them a "n" - it doesnt sound funny, so y do they call themselves niggers, ??.Ill tell u some thing i noticed, using the n word is kind of a freindly familiar way of two blk young people talking to one another, but that word makes me sick .

An African american who is a role model to me let me down so much, when he said it is in the culture of Nigerians to be corrupt, !!!! ( General colin powel) even if its true i dont think its right to say bad things about ur people in public- and i felt we are all one people - Africans and Afro americas.

I feel u GREED, i understand ur anger and frustrations, i love my race with a deep pride, and desperately feel pain at the problems of the blk race - to see some Afro americans behave the way u say will make me so sad

@ Greed

Word! I'm feeling you!

@ nubian

Man did Gen. Powell really diss Nigerians like that? Wow!

I think it's all about pride. At the Uni I go to (down in the dirty!) most African and Nigerian brothers refuse to say the "n" word and definitly not in the company of African ladies! We also promote our culture and pride in our culture. It's to the point that boys who want to holla try to come up and greet me in Yoruba! I'm not Yoruba, but it makes me smile. Then they'll be like "Dang, you must be Igbo or Edo or something. Shoulda known, shoulda known", etc etc We hold it down w/ our ASA and other groups. Some Nigerian entrepenuers/peers even make clothes. I have a hat that says "NAIJA", shirt that says "NIGERIAN. AMERICAN." and the newest slightly controversial shirt that reads "I AM NOT AN AKATA".

In this shirt the non-offensive meaning of word Akata is meant. Akata = Black American not thug or ghetto. When people ask we're like, "I'm Nigerian, this shirt speaks for me" etc. Now akata people wear the shirt and they're like "Well some slaves came from Nigeria, so I can be Nigerian too, right?" And we're like, "Right! Everyone's invited!"
