being told that I am ugly because I look west africans BY africans themselves is just the last straw.

the point is is that i am IN AMERICA, i am not over in africa. my life is invested here, i have no money to up and move to another country. I have already seen therapy about this and it has no worked. I have attempted suicide once but after reading this post that confirms my inferiority to my own ppl i'd rather be dead than continue to live like this

davidylan:
its not to you but to most AAs, if you're not fair in complexion, with a fairly aquiline nose you're ugly period. the flat nose, coarse hair, dark features are what most AAs

Tisha313:
I don't know how to do that. IIt's a hard pill to swallow. Is the only way you can be pretty is to look like Beyonce?

Apparently. People tell me that. I never knew I looked West African until African Americnas pointed this out to me.

davidylan:
i think they mean you look ugly.

platinumnk:
No matter what, there is a look,


I can put 100 blacks in a line and put one nigerian in the line and it will stick out like a sore thumb.

It has caused me to have issues with my self image and self worth

My babygirl has her way with everything! and i mean everything, is this how a marriage works? I can't even watch my soccer team on match days - whether on tv or at the stadium! We go where she wants, eat what she wants and buy what she wants! or else there is trouble in the horizon

She's so strict about some of these things too, and while i like it to an extent, i'm a bit worried about how i can fix it as soon as possible. Surely there has to be a leverage point in all these

naijacutee:
What an approach. Pride will not allow a lot of us (myself included) do this.

Referee Howard Webb should be sent home. English refs are incompetent. First it was Graham Poll and 3 yellow cards, then Mr Webb awarded a harsh injury time penalty against Poland at EURO 2008 now he has done same to Egypt. This guy should remain in the premiership!

In any case, dont pretend to be something you're not.

@uche

I do read all posts, and the ones that are critical have all stated why they think that it might be difficult for my parents to accept, and I do understand this as well.

To be honest, apart from my parents issue, I see no problems at all for both of us personally and with his family, That's why I only raised the issue of my parents. If thats being taken care of, then there will be no more issue,

all of them are at first. Get married then see if the "interest" is still there.  Grin Your dad is probably right
@davidylan

I was taught one thing as a child. "if you have nothing pleasant or nice to say to someone, better not to say anything at all"

spikedcylinder:
Who said it is?

While you're searching for an answer to that, please check for a sense of humour as well.

spikedcylinder:
I reject it for the poor pikin. You want him to look like skinned monkey?

Language studies in Nigerian primary and secondary schools do not serve the purpose of learning the language but for the teacher to just run her mouth and it ends there.
