Romance › Re: Mixed Couples And Racism On Both Sides by InkedNerd(f): 2:34am On Mar 30, 2011 |
@OP: I know what you mean. I recently got involved with a guy who is of European decent and when we'd stroll through his neighborhood, I'd get dirty looks looks from the Eastern European girls and weird looks from the Eastern European men. The women would do a double take and then look away quickly while the men would look once and pretend they saw nothing. I have yet to introduce this fellow to my family but its not because he is white, it is because I know that the relationship won't work or last. I have a former teacher that I visit every once in a while who is white and when I walk through the streets with him, people gawk [mostly black men though]. I guess they all seem to be wondering "What's this this young black girl doing with this old white man?". I can tell some of them want to ask me if he's my husband, boyfriend, lover, adopted father but they never do. All they do is just stare and at time whisper. Anyway, racism exist all over no matter your socioeconomic background. Its what you make of those experiences that makes you who you are and shapes your perspective on life.
drrionelli: Mrs. Chima, I have taken the liberty of adding emphasis to part of your posting, as I'd like to address that particular part of it, if I may.
You are, indeed, correct that racism is everywhere. However, I must, with all due respect, take issue with your assertion that "there is nothing we can do about it." If anything, we ALL MUST do something about it. I would suggest that we first define the elusive term "race." The term, in everyday usage, is far too vague to have a meaning of any consequence. Indeed, it is only by each of our doing something that the problem can be most ably addressed. I, too, have been involved in mixed relationships. It grieves me that we live in the 21st century and still have to overcome thinking that has long ago been shown to be in error in this regard.
Your children will not be ugly. Only the children whose parents bring them up in homes where prejudice and hate are encouraged to thrive will be ugly. There will be no disgrace. Only those who choose to live with closed minds will be disgraced and will bring disgrace. Well said drrionelli. It seems that at times people forget that there is actually one race in Earth and that is the human race.
Araboy: I m neither Black or White but I m proud of my African heritage and continent but ashamed of what happened to you but not surprised Racism is evil and doesn't exist only among Africans but in every race community and continent but those who still judge people on their skin colors or features rather than their characters are ignorants and narrow minded Madam I m sorry you run into this problem and good that you are making statement but remember after every difficulty there is an ease Wow, I always seem to be surprised by the things you say. I had no idea you were African.

Culture › Re: Africans In America Who Have Decided To Live The "urban" Ghetto Lifestyle by InkedNerd(f): 2:01am On Mar 30, 2011 |
OP: I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. I guess its sad. What you wrote reminds me of a guy I know here [Nigerian American] in New York. I no longer speak to this young man but when we were younger, [12, 13, 14 yrs old] we were friends. Anyway, this individual has three or four kids with three different women. . . But that isn't what bothers me about him. I could care less if he had kids with 10 different woman or one woman, what bothers me is that he has a very 'ghetto' mentality and doesn't do much for his kids. All he wants to do is live like Pdiddy, have sex, and party. There's nothin' wrong with having sex or wanting to let loose every once in a while but there is definitely something wrong with being a father and not taking responsibility for your children. He seems to like the whole 'hood' mentality/way of living. I think he even sells drugs on the side [not entirely sure]. Unfortunately, there are people of all walks of life who live like this. I once saw a Middle Eastern girl who had a bunch of kids and was super 'ghetto'/'hood'. I think the reason that some of use seem to be so put off by such people is because the whole 'ghetto'/'hood' lifestyle is seen as "un-African". We're all brought up to walk with our heads held high so for some of us to engage in a lifestyle that is seem as foul to many Africans, its a little disturbing. Even in poverty, many Nigerians [and other Africans] still try to carry themselves with some sort of dignity. Hmmmm, I think I may have worded that last sentence kinda funny. . . Anyway, if I figure out exactly how I wanted to word it, I'll come back and change it. |

Deny this at your own peril  Grotesque fowl  [b] @inky, lol we're cool gurl. I'll steal it back when you least expect it  lol, you can try  |

[quote author=BABE! link=topic=634227.msg8012072#msg8012072 date=1301422130]I kinda concur with 2buff though. I wish I could swap places with my brothers sometimes. Apparently, life as a guy is easier on a general scale.
You know when, God cursed man and woman in the garden of eden, the only curse he dashed Adam was "hard labor for food" and the Eve had "pregnancy and everything that comes along with it". But, nowadays, Eves are partaking in both share of the curses. Women work hard! Women get pregnant!
God help us! Don't get me wrong oh, I still love being a woman. I think its cool![/quote]No offense but [forgive me o!!].
ethereal: @ 2buff,your simpathies aint worth nada.save dem 4 'your lot'. We rock! No mind am.
2buff:
You're a doll. Leave me alone 
The only reasoon I like you is because you always prove my judgements of you (knowingly or unknowingly). Thanks for agreeing to my previous post  <throws hands in the air> Up Woman!!!  Ehhhhh, na me you dey kiss? I no want am  |
