You are just blabbing trash, what are you even saying

You can drop your points without having to quote me. I Dey vex Abeg no provoke me.

Aren’t we all entitled to our opinions again? The way you guys seek attention like small girls is annoying. You didn’t drop a point you just came and quote me.

I think it’s high time Seun puts an age restrictions because lots of kids has infiltrated the site.

According to you, she denied her African ancestry. Ethnicity is different from race. She sees herself as an African American, rightfully so, as she was raised in the US, not in Congo. Two, African Americans have better rep compared to Black Africans and more so in places with few Black people. Her American accent and passport would take her places that many Black Africans wouldn't gain easy access. Three, she would likely face less discrimination because she is an American, even though she is phenotypically Black.

I am curious, which region did you see her?

I think you don’t equally understand me. I’m African, just as she is. I walked up to her as a sister from same race. By claiming American, she’s only trying to make herself superior (which I got to know is common practice here, some blacks try so hard to belong). It’s just fine if I was American or Asian, then we understand she’s trying to avoid being racially profiled.

She might have been raised in America, but she’s equally African since her parents are African. So when she’s with fellow African, she has to present herself as one.

She’s really dark, hence she’s still going to face racism here based on her skin color, could have been better if she’s light skinned. I prefer not to mention the region in a public space, anyways.

To be fair, she did what anyone in her position would do. The American status brings forth a higher level of sophistication. African Americans are more respected/well regarded than Black Africans in countries with few Black people.

She is ethnically African, but not culturally or nationally an African. That is why she does not just see herself as a Black person, but an African American. She sees in you a Black African, not just a Black person. In fact, she is more likely to relate well with a random White American than with you.

The more reason she puts her American identity forward to lessen or counter any racial discrimination. Her American status elevates her above most Black Africans.

Fair enough. I live in East Asia, so it is a topic/area of life I have experienced and continue to research more on. The experiences of Black Africans and African Americans (ethnically or culturally) are not the same in countries with few Black people.

At least you should have asked her WHY. Who knows there could be more to it she's hasn't shared with you but it's your choice sha.

In my opinion, what matters most is character than claiming identity to a tribe because if you die all these things like you belonging to a tribe, status, wealth etc. doesn't matter anymore but people will forever remember who you were because of your character. See Nelson Mandela for instance, the whole world remember him for his integrity and what he stands for, they hardly remember he's from South Africa sef.😁

If I'm to marry or date any girl, character is my number 1 priority for making a choice above every other thing. What about if you date a girl who's tribalistic and still makes your life a living hell? Not for me oo.😊

Ohh...okay then, I wish her well. I just can't have her type in my circle, that's why I likened my experience to OP's.

I'm somewhere in East Asia too..lol.
