re: More Africans Enter U.S.

By the way, you must obviously be for intermarriage between every other group except African Americans and non-African American people, because, I can’t believe you’d make such demeaning, judgmental, ignorant, harmful statements about Black Americans and be pro any other group marrying us. You’d LOVE for everyone, even other people of AFRICAN descent, to scorn us, wouldn’t you? Guess, what? It’s not happening. Oh, you have a few Africans who are ignorant with their head buried in the sand about the history and present prevalence of racism and discrimination in this country. Or you may have a few that bought in to the “Special Negro” myth. But, you have some Africans who see more in common than different with African Americans. Was your statement meant to “flatter Africans” so they’d feel “kinship” to you? I don’t care how long our ancestors have been apart, many African Americans have still retained some values, such as respecting elders and a sense of community. It’s been dwindling over time, thanks to the division implemented during slavery, but it’s still there. There are many things my African friends and I laugh about that we share in common. All it takes is a conversation for us to sit down and find those things out. Unfortunately, some Africans and African Americans never make it to the table, because they believe the constant barrage of negative stereotypes about each other. Historically, white Americans portrayed Africans as savages, animals, and primitive. Considering the recent end of apartheid and the racism Africans are experiencing throughout African, I’m sure some whites still hold that belief.

It’s so absurd that you’d even go as far as to try to say other BLACK people wouldn’t marry us. I am a tall, attractive, intelligent, educated African American woman who dated a very handsome Hispanic guy I used to work with. This very tacky white woman at the time was interested in him and asked him, “What’s wrong with the White women?” What BS!!!!!! I’d understand if he was White, but he was Hispanic and it’s NOT the same thing despite recent efforts to make them the “new” white Americans. This woman felt that because she was White, the man should have wanted her over me, even if she was tacky and I wasn’t and he wasn’t a White man. He and I were both baffled about her way of thinking. Sadly, I’m sure she’s not the only White person to hold this sense of entitlement…that everyone should naturally want “them” first, especially over an African American. Get a grip!!! Did it occur to you that not everyone is attracted to White people? It’s nothing personal, but a reality. I have several Hispanic, Asian, and Black friends who are only interested in Black men. I know several Africans and Caribbeans who specifically prefer Black people. Even if they don’t date African Americans, which they DO (me and at least 30 other African American friends are dating/married to Africans), they’d date a Caribbean, Black Latina, etc. Get a grip!!! The world DOES NOT revolve around you!!
