xxSheila89xx: This is where you miss it entirely and I have finally confirmed why you guys hate us. Are your ancestors as an African american not the same as my ancestors as an African. You seem to think that the families whose children and fathers were kidnapped, stolen and sold into slavery by a few slave traders and kings were not traumatized to loose their loved ones. When I look at an African american I can easily tell if she or he has Yoruba or Igbo roots. The slave trade was a tragedy to Africans as a tragedy whole... The ones who were stolen bore the brunt of this wickedness and I salute their courage and perseverance in bearing the indignities suffered in time past. Nevertheless you guys have this seriously erroneous impression that the whole if Africa conspired to sell their kith and kin into slavery. Nevertheless not wanting to have anything to do with your roots means you cannot really understand yourself and why you act the way you do sometimes. Hope I am making sense to you. I do not hate you, I just need you to stand up and be proud that you are African. 3 Likes |

xxSheila89xx: You are not responding to my points. You need to calm down and let's discuss rationally. You remind me of eliseo the mexican whom I corrected for tardiness who went off into a rant calling me monkey and nigger. I calmy let him finish and told him that he is lucky that he is in the USA where I has freedom of speech so I appreciate his rant but he must do what I want. So madame explain to me what you mean by miseducation of the white man 1 Like |

xxSheila89xx: My sister stop ranting and make yourself comprehensible. I am willing to learn. Are you saying that there were Black communities domiciled in Europe and america before the advent of the slave trade? I do not exalt myself over you. Your pain is my pain. I am no better than you and you are no better than me. What I am saying is that you have allowed yourself to be filled with so much hate that it has poisoned the way you see the world.

xxSheila89xx: You really are ignorant. "You all "...are you saying that parents sold their children. Most of our people were kidnapped stolen and prisoners of war sold by a number of chiefs and slave merchants in partnership with their white business partners. "We all"... did not sell sheet.and I owe you no apology for what I was not a part of. You can stew in your cauldron of hate. It does not affect the price of garri in the market. 7 Likes |

otipoju: When i moved back from Nigeria to USA, it was my last year of highschool which was picked up here in USA... My mother is white american and my father is black Nigerian... Word spread around school that i had just come from Africa... It was mostly the black American kids at shcool that gave me comedy for my african upbringing... I met a few that were not so degrading of African roots and i knew it was because they were conditioned to be ashamed of africa from all the bad stories spread... I didnt get angry because i suffered in my 8 years in Nigeria, the longest 8 years of my life like another lifetime ago... There were some white guys at school with one black american friend and they were all very interested in me for my african experience.. They wanted to hear all about it and so those became my steady friends and i learned how to be american again from them while i shared with them my experiences from Nigeria... I was Born in USA and moved to Nigeria by age 8 and stayed in Nigeria until i was 16... Even so with mixed race features in me, it was mostly black americans at my last highschool who gave me the most jest about being African, and some of them were blacker than me, but they had never been to africa and were conditioned to be ashamed of and deny Africa... I could say it was white racist who brought all that about, but i also have to say it was also some white guys at school who embraced me for being fresh from africa... A lot of white people at school were just silent on the matter ,to not fan the flames of their racist heritage... BTW, they were all astonished when i breezed through school with extra ordinary performance and allowed to move up half a year ahead of my mates and graduate early.. No white or black americans did that at the school.. And its not the only exceptional thing i have expressed in USA since i returned from Nigeria.. Already every year for the past few years, it was a student with nigerian connections that topped the academic charts for addmission to every top school (Ivy league colleges) here in USA... Very few Black americans or white americans can say that about themselves.. Nigerians have some of the worst reputation around the world but also show up among the most exceptional academic performers as well. 3 Likes |

19naia: I understand you perfectly. Even other Africans that I have met here tell me Nigerians have an extraordinary amount of confidence. African American s are just too funny. One of them told me that what I see is the effect of a loss of identity.what you have said here also gives me better insight into their current mindset...they have been conditioned to feel ashamed of their roots...

otipoju: There you go with your stereotypical comments. Have you met most African Americans to make that statement? I don't recall ever meeting you. We call ourselves AFRICAN Americans for a reason you know and the funny thing about that is some Africans right here on this website complain about us calling ourselves Africans saying that we are not Africans and on the flip side of the coin there are Africans saying we are ashamed of our roots and that is why we call ourselves Black Americans.. We are doomed if we don't and doomed if we do, it's like sitting between a rock and a hard place, which is better? If you had problems with SOME not ALL immature school kids, all I can say is kids will be kids, we all go through things when we were younger. I would love to be your friend and you can talk to me about anything. |

Interesting and controversial topic. ....again, please tell me when was slavery and racism abolished ? And how old are the commenters? Why so much pent up anger and bitterness after so many decades? Why so un forgiving? ...but every race was involved in slavery! So much wickedness was done during the era of slave trade! ... but generations have passed...yet people refuse to let time heal the wounds...holding unto feudal words of past ancestors...So sad. Whenever I hear news about the shooting of another black by white police, I truly sympathize with them, but with the kind of anger I am feeling From the comments here, it makes me question where my loyalty lies. It is so disheartening to know that black Americans detest Africans this much. It is well. No shaking! We dey kpame! We shall overcome someday. Like the children of Israel cried unto God, asking: WHY SHOULD THEIR TEETH BE ON EDGE BECAUSE THEIR FOREFATHERS ATE SOUR GRAPES? (why should they suffer for sins they did not commit or know of?) I ask black Americans: WHY SHOULD THE NEW GENERATION OF AFRICANS SUFFER FOR THE ERRORS OF THE PAST? Please LET GO of the past, and live in the present, embracing the future. Shalom |

Racism in America has never ended that is why there are people coming on this website pretending to be African American and saying stu.pid, ignorant, hateful things about Africans just to extend their racism to you all.

I know I am very late . But I wanna put my two cents in as a Black American looking to relocate to Ghana..... 1) Africans have a point about how us blacks get down in Amerikkka. We LOOOOOOVE the white man , Stockholm Syndrome . Most blacks have negative views of Africa due to brainwashing by Amerikkkan media. It's what happens when you are raised on a plantation . I cant dispute none of the things that poster said about the baby momma drama , the materialism , the rampant drug use , etc .ALL FACTS 2) Ive havent met too many Africans but the ones I have met are so nice . I never sense they looked down on me . In fact , I sensed they really liked they saw a young black man with his head on straight. All the negative stereotypes Africans may have towards Black Americans is NOT FAIR. You have to understand the psyche and the implications on the psyche due to the conditions of Amerikkka . Its not just fun and games . We are all black and all from Africa . Why the division? Why must we be at eachother's necks? Why can't we help eachother? I dont get it . It's sad. 2 Likes |
