I get you. . . . . . .LOL@ the last part of your post, the bolded part makes it seem like "authentic" girls have given up on life and themselves and don't really care about their look. I guess what I was referring to in the original post is the barbie look on black women as opposed to the more clean and natural look with just enough make up to enhance what one already has without having to go plastic with long weaves (chemically processed hair is still a natural look to me), claws for nails, fake eye lashes and the likes. . . . . . . . . .that is what seems to be in these days but I guess that is the younger women who look up to Ciara and Beyonce's lace fronts that reach the bum and can be flicked off the face. . . . . . . . BTW, I am not old, just grounded

On the contrary Nigerian americans are the highest achieving immigrant group in the united states according to the U.S census in 2006 33% of of Nigerians in the United States had bachelor's degrees, 17% had master's degrees,As of that year 8% of White Americans had master's degrees, and 12% of Asian Americans had master'sand 3% of Asian Americans had doctorates i dont know the number for A.A's, but one can only assume its less. As for politics. Obama is an african, and for business i dont think you can compare 12% of the U.S population to an entire continment. African americans do dominate the worldwide voice however, but that is usually through entertainment and sports.

I think more black americans seek to seperate themselve from Africans

Well i would like to start of by saying that AA's have done the more for race relations and the curbing of racism than any other group, ever. And have also probably overcome the most adversity and overwhelming odds. we all benifit from your achievments. Considering all the B.S you guys had to go through black americans were doing wonderfully well until about the 1980's interestingly, when Uncle Toms Cabin was Written A.A men were known for being extraordinarily family oriented ( a very african trait) But when the crack epidemic came along it basically shattered the whole culture, and now one really thinks about the way it was before. just compare the way jesse owens or MLK (who was in his early 20's) speaks  and acts to the average black person today. it seems like A.A's have made it their mission to be as ghetto and steriotypical as possible nowadays. But anyway, the average joe nigerian seems to adore african americans and emulates you guys in every way he can (speech, music, dress, behavior). ,  but many africans, especally educated ones, dont appreciate the many negative steriotypes that get associated with them because of  A.A steriotypes. not to mention that black americans are the most ignorant people on the subject of Africa i have EVER met.
