My mother is East African and my Dad's West African, and many times I get to experience how prejudiced people from both sides can be. Many Africans are surprised when I tell them my parents are STILLhappily married. Few days ago I really told off this Nigerian guy who tried to chat me up. When he asked me where I was from he said: "Oh, how can a Nigerian man (referring to my dad) marry an East African! I would never marry an East African! Their countries there are very poor. There's nothing in East Africa." And afterwards he's asking me for my number.

Why? Cos, he doesn't consider me East African, as I was born in Europe.
I don't want to repeat what I told him, cos otherwise I will get in trouble with the mods, but in the end I told him: "It is because of people like you, many of my black friends decide to marry white." If we can't accept our own people why do we bother getting accepted by anyone else?confused3We blacks need more solidarity.
