It's misplaced, misinformed, misguided and ignorant attitudes like this that are part of the problem.
1. What benefit from what struggle? I didn't see you fight for the independence of any African country. Benefits? Please enlighten me.
2. So you think Africa offers only war, famine and disease? Crack open a book sometime and learn something about Africa instead of what white-dominated television is spoonfeeding you.
3. As for cultural and personal behavior,do you know how many countries there are in Africa? Do know how many languages are spoken many different cultures there are? From your ststement it shows that you haven't taken the time or the open mind to get to know any Africans to form an accurate opinion of us except for the misguided perceoptions you've created in your own mind. As for us living in huts - have ever been to Africa?
4. As for Africans selling each other into slavery, i'm ashamed to say, is partly true but the numbers of those sold into slavery is an insignificant fraction compared to those that were kidnapped into slavery. Again I urge you to read more about Africa.
5. If Africans are pussified, there will be no wars in Africa. Pussies don't fight for anything, not even the right to exist. We do. And talk about pussified - I don't see you taking up arms against the federal government as Bush and his cronies erode every right that the great ones like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, George Washington Carver ( yes, I read about African American History) and countless others fought and died for. As for Africans acting white, think long and hard before casting the first stone.
6. The last time I checked, the real Americans are the American Indians ( which the Buffalo Soldiers helped crush by the way ),the rest emigrated here.
Final point, if you are so against Africa and Africans, why do you call yourself African Amercian? Why not just call yourself American and be done with it?
I'm not saying that Africans are without fault, there's enough for both sides. Africans discriminate against each other and against African Americans as much as African Americans discriminate against each other and against Africans. It's a vicious never-ending cycle we need to break out of. I, for one, am willing and openminded to give it a shot, the question is, are you?

Are you familiar with race riots, racism, and discrimination in America? Do you know what happened in 1965? Are you familiar with the bill that was passed? Do you know that people in US, who were women and non whites could not do many certain things before the Civil rights Bill?
You say you did not see me fight for Africa, I'm not in Africa, so their independence doesn't directly concern me. Why is it that We, AA, have to show so much concern for Africa, but they don't really show any for us. You talk about ignorance but you seem more like it than me by asking certain questions. Africans can come here and enjoy what minorities and women couldn't do in the 1930s by law. Did you know that Congress had or allowed laws against non whites, segregation?
Why should I be fighting for Africa? They help took part in slavery. My fight is here in America, for my peeps!!! You said you did not see me. You don;t know what I look like. Why should I fighting in Africa?

I said that in response to what he said about slavery being a good thing to African Americans. What's your response to that. You want to criticize me, but not him. And I do read. He want to mention the bad side of things so I did the same. I know Africa is not all of what I said.
3. As for cultural and personal behavior, do you know how many countries there are in Africa? Do know how many languages are spoken many different cultures there are?

I have been dealing with many Africans, from all of the African countries, for years. Certain ones are cool, others are deceptive, cheap, selfish, think they know it all, greety, and arraogant. I have tried to get close to some but they think they are better. So I can't fuck with em. I respect all people but when people from the same racial group begins to generalize I have a problem. I bet you, I have had more problems with AA than many Africans, and I'm African American. But I know not to generalize all AA.
4. As for Africans selling each other into slavery, i'm ashamed to say, is partly true but the numbers of those sold into slavery is an insignificant fraction compared to those that were kidnapped into slavery. Again I urge you to read more about Africa.
Either way Africans allowed it. One black person's death is enough. I know that Africa is the mother of civilization. I know it had the first schools, universities, scientist, architechs, etc. I am still learning. But my thing is for people who come here, to try and understand us. I don't accept that every Africa who comes in contact with AA has problems, I don;t accept that. I do thing they want to generalize or exagerate. I have never treated any Africans fucked up. I show everyone respect, unless they get out of line with me.
5. If Africans are pussified, there will be no wars in Africa. Pussies don't fight for anything, not even the right to exist. We do. And talk about pussified - I don't see you taking up arms against the federal government as Bush and his cronies erode every right that the great ones like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, George Washington Carver ( yes, I read about African American History) and countless others fought and died for.

OK, I understand some do though. Why do many immigranst come here for a better life? My people in the sixties took up arms already, fought, protested, sit ins, and died so I would not have to, you mad late. Haven't you heard of the Panthers, or the Mau Maus, and other AA radical groups, they were heavily armed and anti govt? All I am saying is that you immigrants need to show much more respect and don;t bite the hand that feeds you.
6. The last time I checked, the real Americans are the American Indians ( which the Buffalo Soldiers helped crush by the way ),the rest emigrated here.
We did not emigrate here mam or sir, we were brought here so you can't compare us to immigrants. We also did more for this country than American Indians, believe it or not. If you understand House Niggas or if you understand many black cops, they're equated to Buffalo Soldiers.
Final point, if you are so against Africa and Africans, why do you call yourself African Amercian? Why not just call yourself American and be done with it?
You have a point, I will call my self a black America who is the descendant of slaves in the US.
I'm not saying that Africans are without fault, there's enough for both sides. Africans discriminate against each other and against African Americans as much as African Americans discriminate against each other and against Africans. It's a vicious never-ending cycle we need to break out of. I, for one, am willing and openminded to give it a shot, the question is, are you?
I am with it. But the thing is your coming here to the US, which AA have a full understanding of the system and how it's played. I know some AA assholes, big time. But stay away from people like that, period. If you want to understand why certain AA are the way they are, read more about the mental psycholog of AA. For example, read BREAKING THE CHAINS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SLAVERY BY NA'IM AKBAR or read SOME BOOKs BY MY FAVORITE LADY DR. FRANCESS CRESS WELSING.
Don;t take offense but ya'll are new to the game. You truly don;t understand racism and white folks yet. Blacks have been amonsgt them for centuries. So we know them like a book.
PEACE.
