I hate whencertain Africans immigrate to US, Canada, or UK and act as if they're not from Africa or lie and say they're just American or Canadian, or British. I'm not talking lying becauseyour papers arent' straight I'm talking about those ignorant ones with legal papers,who come from Africa, but are shame to say it. They annoy me more than black Americans who act ignorant.

It is important to rememebr your roots and not deny them.

I also have noticed people from certain countries are embarrassed by their natural accents and try to adopt the voice of their new homeland. It is a sad state of affairs and i think has a lot of to with self-confidence and a false perception that some countries are better or more respectable than others.

interesting...those people are just looking for a passport, and when they get it... then they calm down!

By the way what is the kid inyour sig saying? confused3

I once went on a date with a born and bredNigerian man who spent our entire date perfecting his American accent on me.....:P......funy thing is i felt pity and shame for him!

And to make it worse, the dimwited imbecile was almost 30 years oldconfused2i mean at that age if you are still ashamed of who you are, when do you actually ever get to enjoy life and your indentity??? What a shame.....

Out of curiousity are you an african who recently come to Americaconfused2

I notice alot of people from certain countries(not gonnasay)do this often. They should learn more about their country's contributions to Africa and the worldbefore they resign themselves to such shame.

Alright...I know what you mean bro...




I don't know what's up with some of mypeople.


Everytime I meet a person..especially a black person with an accent my curiosity gets the best of me and I almost always ask them where they're from.

The only people that ever give me the "run around" are the Africans.


They grin at me and say shit like:

I'm from right here just like you....you see.

or

I from no where man...why ask me such a thing??


If they do admit their African origin, instead of telling me what country they're from they'll say "I'm from West Africa" or "We're from Central Africa" as if I don't know one country from the next.

I guess most AfroAmericans don't and they assume I'm the same.

confused3Usually I let it go....

But if it's a pretty nice looking chick, I might bust out on her with some knowledge about her country most bruthaz here don't know and watch her eyes light up with excitement.

Yeah....I got ya now....thought we were all ig'nant didn't ya?



But another thing that disturbs me is that most Africans I meet claim to be royalty for some reason.

Damn, EVERY...I'm not lying...EVERY single one I meetclaims either to be a prince or princess.

I check the timing and don't give the conversation 10 minutes before it comes out.

First they look around both ways and behind...then get up close to me and say:

"You know...back in my country I am a prince/princess....no lie"

I guess they know better than to claim King or Queen.

I'm joking but I'm serious as ice-water....that's what they all say to me.

i'm sad to say they are mostly nigerian especially in nigeria where they claim to have lived in america all their life but they are really from osun state

blackthought

It is all africans but Nigerians are defo the Chelsea when it comes to fronting like your fromUS. la..lagos

I call them cats Nigericans
