im thinking i should finally put my fast running skills to good use.
im more of a 100m or 200m type girl.
not really into long distance running. im too lazy.   lol
i could NEVER do cross country im especially too lazy for that.

when i was little stupid american kids especially AA would always make comments on me because i happened to be african (its not a country. lol) or from africa.
they thought it was hilarious how i ran fast and would make stupid comments about lions and hyenas and stupid stuff like that.

@AMAKA, yea, some AA's can be dumb. lmao.

that would have been a fighting moment for me.
i almost got in a fights this year, thank God i have great friends to keep me calm.

they called you that?
we had some neighbors who used to live by us before we moved and they were mexican.
they would always call us jamaicans and tell us to go back to jamaica
after we have said over and over again that we are NOT jamaicans.
but it was all good because we used to just call them "the burrito kids" lol
insider. . .

After telling them there's no such thing, they resorted to, "do you speak Nigerian?"  

chiogo:

people used to always ask me "Are you really African? you arent hecka black and your nose isnt hecka big."
oh and this only came from AA.
i just used to laugh! some people couldnt get over that i was african. they assumed i was just black. lol

chiogo I don't blame them.  with the way you speak me sef i dey wonder if you speak nigerian
your Igbo is thicker than my fat thighs

insider. . .

Girl it was terrible, they egged our door on the apartment we were living in, and spraypainted the outside saying for us to go back to Africa.

And they used to howl when they saw any of my sisters or brothers coming.

We had a woman next door who had her house open all the time, but they always had time to steal our stuff or damage our shit.

Ohhh dont let me talk about school.
I used to get bullied all the time because I was nigerian, as soon as they say my name in class, the ghetto ppl would start making noise, and they would always have time to pick on me.

But what was worse, my mom tied my hair in those crazy threaded styles.
So I stuck out even more.

Until that one day that bully pushed me too far, and I whooped her ass clean out.
Left her face sliced like an orange with blood plasterd over the cafeteria.
Them  ducktards learned then, and then I learned I get massive respect for defending myself.

See if they picked on me again or my siblings, and then my parents moved to the high end subs,and I went to an all white school were they accepted me.

End of story.

chiogo:

AMAKA, your pidgin is soo funny. LMAO

to be honest i learned pigin from nigerian movies (ive been watching them since i can remember) and just reading pigin from NL and also being to Nigeria where some people spoke pigin.
most people in Naija that knew english usually spoke proper english.
so i learned most of my pigin from naija movies.

is my pigin wrong or something?  

THE AMAKA:

wetin new wahala be dis one?

iya bomboi wat's the meaning of this thing you type?

wrong? wrong can't even begin to describe it.
it is an aberration.

That's funny cuz the only light-skinned AAs I know are mixed. They don't know Africans can be light-skinned without necessarily mixed.
It's a big deal for them.

LOL I can't really say it's wrong. shoulda been something like "which kain wahala be this again?"

WHAT? THAT BAD?
OH MY GOD.
and i thought i had it bad? i havent seen anything!!!
kids used to make fun of my name when they said it in the class and start making funny noises.
or they would make clicking sounds!! they irritated me the most.
and this is ALL from AA,  people who come from AFRICANS!!
and then when they discovered i ran fast, it only made it worse.  
but i havent seen anything yet.

and when i was living in the ghetto my house was egged, set on fire (caught early enough so it was only a small patch on fire, like 3 feet), spray painted, shot through, and all that.
thank God we moved! the egging came from the neighbors that didnt like us.
the fire from the bad ass juvy kid across the street. spray paint? we dont know who did that.
and the bullet, OMG. never was solved.

man ghetto people are so stupid when it comes to africans.

platinumnk:

its funny because Amaka, you place the words like youre speaking in english.

im not that good at pigin. i only learned it from watching nigerian movies. thats pretty much it.
so ill try and get better.
some pigin i see here on this forum i cant even understand at all.

@Platinum, Na wa oo. . .that's some serious stuff right there.
It's funny how it's blacks who are fond of doing this, you would expect that from whites but no.
That's why when my sister asked me if I'd prefer a black or white rommmate, I told her I don't even know.
Just because she's black doesn't mean we'll get along. I don't need all the drama, y'know. My roomie is white, it was randomly picked anyway.
I hope we get along but trust me, I'm the bully.
