wow. this post is very very enlightening. I was reading & impressed with the cultural differences, and the respect factor is amazing in AFrica, it made my heart smile, because it is teaching me more of my very own roots of origin, but just seeing a tiny bit of anger rising from a simple conversation, struck me hard. . In some parts of US., there are still racist, or prejudice against African Americans, as well Africans,, all because of our skin colour, and it really saddened me to see this between our sisters and or brothers here, is really disheartening. Africa is the center of my heartbeat, yet I've never set foot in the motherland. , and desires of giving back to my African heritage so bad, but, I almost feel as if I would be rejected by my own African ancestors, just as bits of rejection from a majority of white or otherwise Americans, where can we draw the line for unity among our people? We should be embracing our sisters & brothers, and helping one another to succeed in life, sharing knowledge to get ahead, without the hurtful words, because we really are ONE, accept it or not, I was really touched & proud to read that, this young lady,, loves her man enough to WANT to learn his customary lifestyle, and present herself in the most respectful way possible to his family. That is so beautiful to me. Because her heart has good intentions, and she was reaching out here on Nairaland, I am most positive she will be well received by his family. To me this is being herself, Peace, |

Some of the last few posts on here have hurt me. I'm always astonished to see this kind of vitriol from Nigerians (or really Africans) in general towards African Americans and vice-versa. Perhaps I take the jabs from both sides personally, since I strongly identify with both sides of my family. Bigoted remarks always diminishes the issuer regardless of your reasons or motivations in stating them. |

I know this post must be old by now, but david all that shit u said is not true and is not fair. the girl came in there to get advice, another black chick said something that u didnt agree with and now u have the guts to insult all african americans. Hey. well now guess what then, if we are all that u say we came from africa just like u. your relatives were put on the ship too so i guess all that bull shit u are talking was passed down from u guys. Any way, all black people dont live in the projects or the ghetto. I never have and never will. And the dumb ass that made that statement about cooking nutricious meals was absolutely absurb! if u want to know about black inventors google it, its not that difficult. I dont even know why i argue with idiots that dont know any thing about afro-americans yet i get sucked into when ever some useless rat makes stupid comments. |

From one American sister to another,curtsy and kneel anytime you greet any family member or well respected adult . No if and or buts about it. Secondly, if you usually dont always offer your help to do anything. They will most likely decline because you are a visitor but offer it. help with the kids, food anything. Third, have fun, I had a blast and 2 halves. I love my in-laws they are the sweetest most loving people I have met. |
