dont know what to say but i guess is cool. i mean since they have realised africa as their home, what can we do but to accept them even though some of them got dislike for africans. it might help build a bridge of understanding btw africans and black americans. |

The Black Americans who dislike Africans do so as a reaction to disdain which many Africans show us FIRST. As for me, I don't know what to think about it at this point. Right now it's just an idea, it could end up going nowhere. |

I'm going to follow that link and read those chapter excerpts as soon as I make this post. Looks like it's going to be a really interesting read. In my experience, Africans never made attempts to socialize with Black Americans or get to know us -- unless it was an African man showing interest in a Black American woman. I lived it. While I was married to an African man and living among his family, away from my own, in a place I knew absolutely nobody, this was my reality. One thing I noticed, also, is that it seems like Africans will cut the Black American women some slack, but not the men. It's really weird, I'm off to read that page, |
