FIRST!!

This is why we can’t get no where.

HE WAS JUST JOKING, GIVE HIM A BREAK!!

HES YOUNG..ITS COOL TO HAVE A LIL FUN…

This is why we are talked about all the time

damn thought I was first! He’s a fool!

2ND….IGNORANCE IS BLISS!

There getting paid to look a mess.

In the words of Red Foreman “He’s a dumbass”

WHat the Hell!!

TOP 10?????? LMAO….2 CLOWNS!

A mind is a terrible thing to waste

Ignorance at it’s finest…Soulja Boy, doesn’t it make you happy, that so many people went out to support him?? I’m certaintly glad I didn’t. It’s not hating on people or not wanting them to get out of the hood, but when the hood is sooooooo entrenched, you ‘ll find they are still enslaved anyway…NEXT!…

I just wish Soulja Boy would go away, and T-Pain just go back to his old style. PLEASE!!!

It’s just too much

We have had a very rough history and alot of people don’t want to admit it, but being bought to America was the best thing that could have happen to black folks, granted it could have been done by another means but that has what has made us stronger as a people, sometimes you have to think outside the box, come out of the black and white and lean toward the grey area.

He look like an idiot so I am not surprised. Coon of the day is definitely titled earn by this fool. Listen I am not an Ice T fan at all but I understood where he was coming from when he address this imbecile. Thank god his career is on the downside.

we definitely need to bring African American history to the inner city public schools

wowwwwwww….

SMH…

LiTERALLY….

As an African, living in Africa ( oh! yes, we have internet) the comment disgusts me. But it’s soulja boy, do you really expect anything of substance from this idiot?

What bugs me is that the African American culture is used as the standard for all black culture. The rest of the world defines all black people based on African American culture. That just pisses me off. Compared to Africa and South America, America has the smallest number of black people in the world. Just my country alone has more black people than America. And my country is just 1 out of 53 countries in Africa. Lagos alone has more black people than all the blacks in America. Same in some countries in South America. So it bugs me when people judge me based on African American culture

When I visit the U.S, people are always like, why do you dress like this? why is your accent so different? why do you do this? you are suppose to act this way. I feel like slapping them across the face. BEING BLACK DOESN’T AUTOMATICALLY MEAN I AM AFRICAN AMERICAN.

Outside America, blacks have their own cultures. In carribeans, they have their own distinct culture, different from the African American culture. Same as in Brazil, cuba, Europe and all the 53 countries of Africa.

@ Last$2

Im sure slavery was the best thing that happened to the Africans that were whipped, abused, raped and killed!!

thanks for making me see the light! *rolls eyes*

I can’t believe KRS ONE co signed this ignorant kid on BET’s Rap City awhile back- wtf?

The kultural dumbing down of Hip Pop is self evident no more Chuck D’s allowed in the mainstream only the Flavor Flav’s and Flavor has more historical sense than this newbie ring tone rapper Soulja Boy.

The record label is his new slave ship and record label CEO his new slave owner ie “The Death Of Rhythm & Blues” by Nelson George- read it!!!

He is the PRIME reason, people CONTINUE to see as a non-equal ans NI***RS! I can’t believe WE (as a community) put money in his pocket for this COONERY! I am an college-degreed, educated, pretty laid back, hard-working individual who has remained pretty close to his community but GREW UP! Why is it that SOULJA BOY can live to be a representative for our community?

We really need to re-analyze who we look up to! Let’s grow up, hell OBAMA is about to be PRESIDENT!

What an idiot…

@ last$2

You are the typical ignorant black man. Slavery was a by-product of colonization ( or the other way around, depending on how you want to look at it). Both elements are what led to the destruction of Africa. Slavery and colonization are complementary. If both didn’t happen, Africa would be a different place today.

Seriously…at first I was like why did Ice T tell Soulja Boy to “eat a dick?” Now I see. This is a f*cking idiot. Where do these dudes come from? And we actually buy records from these clowns and support their habits (ice, drugs, etc).

@ Bringthanoize

I’ll read that!!!

this is why no child should be left behind… he needs to take his ignorant @ss back to school for some higher learning… smh. his family must be so proud…

@ Obama supporters need to beat down hateful rednecks!

How can you even put that stupid a*s as your name, it is dumb a*s thinking like that which will always breed violence *thinking you are really bright right now*

@ Hollywood BS

Not that other black countries are irrelevant, Black Americans are more visible in popular culture, Music, Journalism, Film than our brothers and sisters in the motherland and beyond. Don’t be bothered by it Black Americans have brought worldwide attention to many of the issues in Africa and beyond. This is a time for unity not division.

Did he even go to school? Out of all the great historical figures in African American history he couldn’t think of one person, so he chose the slave masters!!! There is simply no ignorance in the world greater than the brain dead, idiotic asswipes in Rap.

thats because were not teaching these kids no history and they have no faith we really need to pull up our boots what a shame for something like that to fly out his ignorant mouth

@Hollywood BS

if you feel so strongly take your ass to Africa, you can either cry over it or use it to be stronger P.S. I don’t have a penis.

@ Last$2

I think you need to seek some help

Of course this is what you would expect from someone who talks about supermanning a hoe. His intelligence is not very far fetched. HE’s just another puppet they use to make money off of and to inspire other teenage to be dumb like him.

@ blaq

I should be bothered by it because I am not African American. Your culture and lifestyle is completely different from mine. I actually find it ignorant for someone to consider me African American just because I am black.

For statement can black Americans are bringing worldwide attention to issues in African is debatable. There’s a difference between a publicity stunt (like Jay-z going to a village in Nigeria and building a water tap with MTV cameras chronicling every aspect of his attempt to “save africa”) and genuine help which is actually changing real lives. I should end here cos I really don’t want to get into politics. Roofs will blow off if I do.

Freddie

Did he even go to school? Out of all the great historical figures in African American history he couldn’t think of one person, so he chose the slave masters!!! There is simply no ignorance in the world greater than the brain dead, idiotic asswipes in Rap.

___________________________________________________

The question wasn’t “which great historical figure in African American history to you respect?” it was, what historical figure do you HATE??

Not saying that his comment was funny, but READ WHAT WAS SAID BEFOR YOU POP OFF ABOUT IGNORANCE.

@ Obama supporters need to beat down hateful rednecks

Just be sure you go out and Vote!

I agree Hollywood BS…..I am from Monrovia, Liberia and an American Citizen but, I embarrace my heritage because it’s who I am. I certainly wasn’t brought here by slave owners….LOL!!!. Infact my country was founded by freed slaves…(read African/American History people.) Vote for Obama so that we can compete globally in education. This is a key example of how America’s education is failing!!!

ahh please he’s 17 , what the hell dose a 17 year old know, why even make it news

@ Hollywood BS

whether you are black african, or african american we are all of the same blood!

Unfortunately people will sterotype and I think that you correcting those who assume what you are is the first step ahead to educate those who don’t know any better!!

@ last$2

I happen to live in Africa ok? and it’s a pretty damn good life over here.

Please don’t give Soulja boy more credit than he deserves. He’s what 18, in my opinion he is a product of his parents, his community, and his record label. A soulja boy will get a deal before a Lupe Fiasco, support underground hip hop, true hip hop. Now when a child says something ignorant is the responsibility of his elders to correct him, everyone who supported his ass should check his ass, and I don’t feel they were wrong in their support old ass Ice was dead wrong for his comments, so he got checked by the hip hop community, it’s Soulja boy’s turn now.

@blaq

how you gonna talk about teaching kids and yet calling that kid the N word in the same comment? I’m so tired of this double standard, complaining about others using the N word yet we keep using it ourselves. We want to ban the word yet we’re the ones who keep popularizing its usage. So it’s alright to use it because we black?

@ last$2

I already voted. I’ll be working as an election judge this tuesday!!

how you like them apples?

Oh boy. Here goes the infighting again. This could have been the PERFECT post to get some educated talk going. You know– to share ideas and remedies for the disease called Afro-American ignorance. But instead, what do we do? We scrap the subject altogether and fight amongst eachother!

Typical Black behavior. Had it not been for positive Blacks in the U.S. like Obama and Michelle, I would’ve handed in my black card like yesterday. We are truly embarassing.

And I am glad you do, I just feel like there is always moaning and groaning about Africa this and that damn I am in the US the entertainers you see on tv in front of the camera’s in Africa always come back to the US, I just feel like stop complaining if Africa is where you want to be go to Africa, but can we please move on, I think there is a way to appreciate your past while still moving on, it is what it is…I have never been to Africa nor do I have the desire to go, does that make me ignorant and unlearned, sorry.

**DL HUGHLEY IS THE COON OF THE DECADE!

The skit he did about Obama term in office was embarrarsing. . .

@ Obama supporters need to beat down hateful rednecks!

I am denying that African Americans and Africans are not of the same blood. I’m just saying that we are different people.

When I was doing my study abroad in America, most African Americans I encountered won’t even talk to me. They will go around school telling people that I was gay because I didn’t dress or act or talk like them. Suffice to say, I rarely interacted with them. I am not saying all African Americans are like that, I am just giving an example. I did meet a few African Americans who were very welcoming and knew alot about the rest of the world. We might be of the same blood but we are different people. Thus, it is ignorant to consider me an African American because I am black. We speak different languages, we come from different backgrounds, we have different values, accents and cultures.

Point made? hope so.

@ Obama supporters need to beat down hateful rednecks

Well good for you and Yes We Can!

These fools make it hard for the rest of us to make it. Clowns like this don’t help our rep.

I am not denying *

@ Macaroni and sleaze

Healthy debate is good for the soul boo boo.

@ Hollywood BS

now isn’t that a coincedence? Because the Africans I meet dont like being around African Americans!! they would rather live in white neighborhoods, go to white schools, put down and look down African Americans (even the educated and well paid ones) Oh!! and bleach their skin!!

But i KNOW that your not one of them…right?

@ hollywood

don’t be afraid to talk politics, I doubt if you have anything that will blow my roof off. Publicity or not, they still got a water pump no? What about Oprah’s school, yeah it got publicity but how many girls are getting educations. You have the right to be proud of your culture, I’m proud of my culture too, but Black Americans’ global recognition should not take anything from you, and is not responsible for the ignorance of thinking any race is all the same. Just like all spanish speaking hispanics are not from mexico. All asians are not from China, but the Chinese are more prominent than many other Asian cultures. Again our cultures probably have more in common than you care to acknowledge. God is very prominent in both of our cultures so is family, I’m sure your mama braided your hair before you went to school just like mine did.

agreed everything with what Blaq said.

Its seems that the bad seeds of every race and culture seem to represent that race or culture. While those who actually make a difference goes ignored. now why is that?

@ Obama supporters need to beat down hateful rednecks

and have you wondered why they won’t hang around with African Americans? food for thought.

skin bleaching? nice try. We don’t wear weaves for starters ( alek wek anyone?), and we are very proud of traditional clothes and culture, marrying a white woman is actually an offense to black women in most African cultures etc etc

Who is more white-washed? you decide!!

@ Hollywood BS

Africans don’t wear weaves? Ha!

Two college classmates of mine were African! One from Uganda the other from Ghana.

4 years as friends and I have NEVER saw their natural hair!!

they wear those weaves as braids!! same thing my friend

nice try

@ Hollywood BS

what country do you come from? maybe that will explain the difference of cultures in African countries alone!!!

I went to a party last month given by an association of African and Arab students. The Africans invited Black American women to come but they didn’t want the Black American males there. An African male Engineering student told me that he was afraid of Black men in America and that they behaved badly.

@ Hollywood BS

and since you mentioned it, why exactly do Africans not hang (at least your pals) around African Americans?

Because the Africans I knew were friendly and lovely people who related more to African Americans than they did to Becky

I’m sure he wasn’t serious but come on…of all things to say….”shout out to the slave masters”?? I mean WTF!!!!!!…but the saddeset thing is that he probably doesn’t even realize that he is still a slave

@ Hollywood and Obama

One is not better than the other. Hollywood your culture is not better than ours, and possibly not that different, and within America all black culture is not the same depending on the region you are from there are definite differences. You both are judging the masses by the actions of a few. If you want to know how slavery and colonization came about because of the the fighting among different tribes the Europeans were able to take advantage of warring prisoners of war were sold into slavery and often traded to Europeans for weapons to keep fighting each other, while the white man ran off with the gold, diamonds, took ownership of the land and stole the people. Unity not Divison

@ Obama supporters need to beat down hateful rednecks

I Africans that related more to you are probably the ones who are trying to hide their culture and pretend to be African Americans. Most of the time, their accents betray them.

Africa has 53 countries so wouldn’t you think we would have different cultures? just in my country alone we speak over 300 languages and none of them sound like African Americans speak.

@ obama supporters

i dont know what last$2 was saying,she/he is confused and doesnt really see the logic here. I understand what hollywood BS is saying about Blacks/africans and its true and that comment comming from soulja boy just shows that he’s not smart and clearly didnt know how to answer that question.

i wont elaborate anymore further but this is not about black,white,slavery..its just that one statement soulja boy made as an individual

Iam glad he calls himself BOY

@ blaq

Again, I am not trying to be divisive. I am just stating facts. So I should nod and respond to someone who calls me an African American? I am not. We have different cultures, lifestyles and we speak different languages. That’s all I’m saying.

@ Hollywood BS

I think this is the same arrogant behavior that is being spoke of. I find that “Africans” always think they are more intellectual and have some kind of superior gain on Arican American’s. And alot of them look down on American woman becuase of independent ways. With that being said I only speak of the ones that I have met.

Ok Ok………… just wait a min!! anyone of you been to Africa, never mind the history, no one is forgetting that.

Try living in Africa not places like kenya where its a bit more built. Live in a mud hut or a ram shackled house.

Again, anyone been to africa?

@ Hollywood

Well you should not be offended by someone calling you African American, and if were in America at the time it is probably an honest mistake. I am not offended is someone was to call me African, it’s like and Ethiopian getting angry for someone thinking they were Eritrean if you are neither you may not know the difference.

I am deeply embarrassed……….

‘more intellectual’Wiithout question.

@ last$2

thats because they are,africans in some cases and in general are intellectual than most african AMERICAN,im not saying that they should use that and think they can be superior,but african tend to think and prossess things before they make a decision.

In general african/blacks are smart people and thats a fact regardless,the dumbs ones are just dumb because of their own personal conclusion to things.

Enough with the bullsh*t. Soulja Boy is a f*cking waste of time and money, and he needs to restart from kindergarten and actually finish high school (G.E.D not acceptable). As a black woman who proudly earned her way into 3 honor societies during my higher (meaning post high school) education, I am embarassed that Soulja Boy is black. I teach and my first graders make me more proud spelling compound words than this dumb f*ck ever will.

As for you last$2, I weep. Don’t you see that Soulja Boy and your ideas about Africa and Africans are the reason why African and Carribean blacks don’t want to be African American? It goes deeper than just having their own cultural identity. Uncle Tom Sambo shuckin’ and jivin’ ass coon.

ohmigod! ya’ll now he’s the future of our nation right? He probably vote for McCain, if he vote at all….

my oh my

A Mess! Even at that age, I wouldn’t have said anything that stupid. Parents talk to your kids, please. They need it.

@ hollywood BS

once you land in this country whether you’re chinese,african,spanish,german,once you get in this country!you’re being considered an american

AFRICAN-american

CHINESE-american

SPANISH-american

its like a basket of apples,there are different type of apples BUT they are all apples. Thats their problem if they want to class you as an african-american., but its your right to let them know the different

dumbasses…

What in the Sam hell foolary is this kids problem. Somebody get this kid some books to read

@ all of your asses that don’t want to identified with African Americans screw you guys, I live the life everyday and while I am not shouting out to a slave master, not a one of us knows if life would have been better or worse had it not been for the slave master, but the fact is we have come this far, so save your tears babe don’t weep for me, weep for the parents that have kids being taught by someone as closed minded and judgmental as yourself..

“And have you wondered why they won’t hang around with African Americans? food for thought.”

African Americans don’t really have an interest in hanging out with Africans so what are you implying by “food for thought”? Possibly because there are tons negative images about Africa fed to us by the media. I’d say the same for us as it relates to the African media. However, you can’t deny that African American’s are the most visible Africans on earth. Visible because our history, culture, vast accomplishments, etc. All within a relatively short period of time. 300 years. Africa has been colonized for a much longer period. You shouldn’t be mad at that because as someone already said, our gains have helped Africa tremendously. If it wasn’t for the Civil Rights movement and other prolific African American trail brazers, Apartheid would likely still be the norm in South Africa. Discrimination would be the norm throughout Africa. African Americans lobbied hard for the Immigration Act which opened the doors for millions of Africans living in poverty to seek better lives abroad in the United States. I can go on and on. Anyway, it seems like many Africans here are ungrateful. Were it not for our sacrifices that included death, Africa as a whole would be worse off. And, Skin Bleaching is very profitable in Africa. I’ve seen Africans in weaves, nike’s and jeans walking around in Africa so don’t embellish the truth Hollywood. As far as white washing, we are not the ones who wash our skin with bleach.

I’ve been to Africa quite a few times. Africa is a collection of different nations with different people, so it’s embarrassing whenever I see attempting to generalize about the people of a continent just because it’s so overwhelmingly black. I’ve been to neighborhoods in West Africa where EVERYONE lives on a compound, no one lives in a home with less than 5 bedrooms, everyone has a Benz AND a Range, and the kids get Beamers for their 16th birthdays. I’ve also been to the village where the electricity goes out every other day and people have to go fetch their own water. I love both. There is nothing like being in a NATION of black people, where so many people are so proud of the fact that they are free and amongst one another.

I’m NYC born and raised, and that will never change, but judging from some comments that I see on this site, Soulja Boy isn’t the only one who needs to be educated.

Soulja Boy is a buffoon so I don’t know why anyone is surprised at his dumb a**.

Hrrrmmmm… . define Sambo

o well .. he got a point… alot of good came out of slavery just as alot of horrific tragedies did.. once blacks became radicalized and fought against whites, we’ve been moving up ever since… no thank you slavery for oppressing us as a people… but thank you slavery for the powerful figures in black history …

WOW SHOULDA STAYED IN SCHOOL

LOST THE 2% RESPECT i HAD FOR HIM

http://www.myspace.com/thagrindaholic

NEW TRACK UP “NEVA DROWN”

……..correction it was GOD who gave African Americans the ability to overcome such tremendous odds so to GOD be the glory. As I re-read my post I gave us too much credit as we wouldn’t have survived or been able to fight against slavery, discrimination, Jim Crow etc without the Almighty.

what is wrong with our youth?????? there is nothing wrong with having your own opinion. but does he not know that you must think before you speak,,,,,i don’t care how old he is, he can do better!!

@ last$2

We have had a very rough history and alot of people don’t want to admit it, but being bought to America was the best thing that could have happen to black folks, granted it could have been done by another means but that has what has made us stronger as a people, sometimes you have to think outside the box, come out of the black and white and lean toward the grey area.

——————————————

Actually Africa was one of the richest countries at one time due to their natural oil. Africa put mathematics on the map and therefore can be argued as one of the smartest. Please read a book.

EXCATLY WHY HIS DUMB ASS WILL BE BROKE IN 5 YEARS!

But then again what do we expect from a kid influenced by hood/hip hop culture.

Why do think West Africans sold their people into slavery for trinkets like watches and silverware? I think some African Americans have mixed views of West Africans because on one hand they were once strong and intelligent/genetically we are quite similar, however once they got in bed with the white man they selfishly altered the lives of many, many people and they have paid and are still paying dearly for that mistake. Food for thought!

what’s going on in the world today?

I don’t pay idiots like him no mind.

I love how idiots post and rationalize their way into providing some sort of fake a$$ historical discourse. There were African nations in existence well before the Civil Rights movement even began. There were leaders of the Civil Rights movement who named themselves and their children after Pan African leaders, and vice versa. So how can you cite South Africa as an example, as if the change in South Africa somehow legitimized the freedom on the continent that so many already possessed?

You’re right there with Soulja Boy and you don’t even know it. Throughout the 20th and and even 19th century there was a steady dialogue across the Atlantic. And one side cannot insult the other without insulting itself.

I’m Nigerian too (though london-based) and not wanting to be called African-American doesn’t necessarily mean that Africans look down on y’all, there’s just a need to clarify our identity. For instance, I hate people mispronouncing my name as i know it has a meaning and though someone’s name might actually be pronounced the way mine was mispronounced, i still prefer the pronunciation of my one, that ain’t to say i feel more superior in any way. D’you get? All i know is if God asked me what i’d like to keep from my current life into a new one or some’, it’ll be the colour of my skin, cos that pretty much sums up me and everything i’m about. @soulja embryos comment, he clearly speaks out of his ass a lot. He’s old enough to reason and speak rationally but he made an extremely stupid/narrow-minded comment there. I’m not too surprised though cos his butler friends clearly substitute his parents.

I would like to applaud the intelligent commentary of:

OBAMA

1MORPLEEZ

AKIRA

READ YOUR HISTORY

BRINGTHANOIZE

Just goes to show the intelligence outweights the ignorance. Your types are the only reason I come on this blog, once you wade through the insults I delight in the conversation of the educated, and that does mean the amount of degree’s you have but the amount of understanding.

Might as well just kill him now, before he starts talking about cuttin off Barack’s nuts.

A reporter asked him, “What historical figure do you most hate?” He was stumped. I said, “Others have said Hitler, bin Laden, the slave masters…” He said, “Oh wait! Hold up! Shout out to the slave masters! Without them we’d still be in Africa.”

“We wouldn’t be here,” he continued, to get this ice and tattoos.”

————————————————-

Sorry Soulja Clown we would have been here without slavery. There is an invention called the BOAT and lets not forget that we had cities and everything before slavery. And since we invented so many thing that we use everyday, Africa would be a world power instead of the USA.

And I would like to ignore him, but I work in the school system and Soulja Boy’s coonery is NOTHING compared to what I see from US. I did a black history board and contest for my school. I did the contest. PLEASE TELL MY WHY THE HISPANIC KIDS KNOW MORE ABOUT OUR RACE THAN US???

How do our kids not know who BILL COSBY is?

when I was 17, i wasnt dumb enough to think that slave masters did me a favor by bringing africans over here. I saw something about ignorance being bred out. how the hell do you think that? all the kids these fools are having are gonna grow up with the same or worse morals as these dumbasses.

@ Ghost

I applaud you for teaching and you don’t know what kid you got through to. But Rap, sports, jail, fighting, drugs and sex are part of black history too, you may have to find an angle to reach them on, but they are reachable. I know so many of my peers who read the autobiography of Malcolm X because of Public Enemy and the By Any Means Necessary Poster. Just keep trying you are doing more good than you know.

out of all the good reason to live in america the only thing he could come up with is ICE and TATTOO’S…SMDH!!!

One of the reasons why Hip-Hop is on Life Support. Silly negro. I bet the Klan really gets a kick out of dude …

*idiot, i was just woderind yesterday what we would be doing if we were not taken from our native land

Dumb azz nicca.

I know a lot of jamaican people who bleach their skin as well as african people.

Why us??????????

The saddest part of questioning Soulja boy was they knew they’d get an answer somewhere near his comment.

Not only did they play on his youth and ignorance, they belittled him!

Soulja boy doesn’t appear to be the brightest crayon in the box but he doeasn’t appear to be unintelligent either. I honestly believe the spotlight might’ve caused him some excitement which resulted in his eagerness to answer without thinking.

How many kids his age and in his position would’ve answered somewhat like he did if they were under the same conditions?

I was in the Hair business for a long time and I worked with African women as well as Jamaican women and they would be dark skinned on week and then all of a sudden they are like 2 shades lighter with a dark neck and hands.

I’m not starting trouble I am just commenting on what I observed.

*Typo

One week

@ Hollywodd–

I’m really not making excuses. The key word you and I both used–

IGNORANT!!!

Reach one, teach one!!

See my point?

I aoplogize for the typo in your name.

Drats!!!!!!!!

A.P.O.L.O.G.I.Z.E!!

Lol!!!!!

SOMEone’s really in a tizzy tonight!!

Lol!!!!!!!!!!

DIVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess HOllYWOOD BS has his draws all twisted in a bunch.

I got chewed out for making a comment on my keen observation.

Hi Sessy!!

Uh…..

(Side eyein)

Is this the REAL sessy?

Lol!!!

If not, Hi understudy Sessy!!

Lol!!!!

BTW–If this is Understudy, I’ve changed my name in your honor!

You likey??

Lol @ Janae!!

ROTFLMAO @ Sessy!!!!!

@ Sessy–

Thanks for the compliment and you’re correct in her name. AS soon as I get her pictures back, I’m going to replce this one.

This is last years.

Hip hop died a long time ago.

We just refuse to bury it.

@ last$2-You are and ass kissing idiot for that ignorant remark. How the hell would you know what’s best for us? You can’t look at feed the hungry on BET and go ‘I’m glad i’m in America” Think of the ones who died on those slave ships because they didn’t want to come here. the ones who was gutted open, and hung from trees, burned, and fed to dogs.. for ignorant asses like yourself .. Think before you speak, and speak for yourself! There is no US in that comment you just made. I’m not linked to your chain..thank god.

THAT IS A BIG..nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

You have to hear how he said that quote. He’s probaly saying like dang we still be in Africa but they took us from out motherland!!!

Hey!

You’re right!!

*just noticing “check me out” feature is gone.

And to think–I thought I was all CSI and shyt!!!

How did I miss that?

**scratching head**

DIVA THINGS HAVE CHANGED FAST ON HERE!! HOW ARE THINGS DOWN IN NC?? I WAS GOING TO HEAD DOWN TO A&T NEXT WEEK!

Ignorance at its finest….

Wowzers! Thats embarrassing…

Why oh why are people still coonin’ in the 21st century? Can’t we leave that ish behind? We are about to have a black president, for cryin’ out loud…

see, he should have stayed in school.

@ last $2-

I STILL weep for you b/c in your cooning ingnorance you think I’m being judgemental. Coon.

@HOLLYWOOD BS

I agree with you about that term African American. I don’t care for it either. I am black but I have other things in my background.

Though his comments are embarrassing and should never be said publicly, when you really think about it: was he wrong? We originated from Africa as slaves (even the beige negroes) and there is no doubt we would not be here in huge numbers if we weren’t imported from Africa. Would you really want to live in Africa right now? We are a strong people and have come from slavery to freedom with equal rights (though racism still exists), but I agree that the youth needs to get more educated and stop coonin’.

he’s a teenager, did you expect him to say something prolific? i’m sure when he’s older and working that drive thru drenched in his ice and tats, he’ll say to himself…”what was i thinking”

He is a certified dumb ass. With no direction. Jesus take the wheel

SMH

@Hollywood BS,

If you have such disdain for Black Americans, then why are you on a site that was made for and by Black Americans? It’s not like we need you here. You may see yourself as superior to us, but the truth is you are not.

Poor Parenting + Failed Education System =Soulja Boy

Wow soOO Sad wat a dumb ass comment!!

jonjon23

Seeing that other races didn’t get bought here as slaves, I’m sure we would still be in this country. Now how would we have been treated would be another story.

He should have known better than to say that. Don’t keep giving folk ammuno to use on you. Because the ONE time you said you might go to college was ignored by the media. Everythign else gets blasted everywhere.

truthfully, what do you expect from a southern rapper these days? not only do they lack respect for hip hop and rap, they lack respect for themselves

@ALL OF YOU

SOULJA BOY IS NOT IGNORANT, HIS STATEMENT SIMPLY MEANS HE’S PROUD TO BE AMERICAN. HE’S PROUD TO LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE. YOU ALL ARE THE FOOLS AND IDIOTS JUDGING HIM BY A COMMENT THAT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND BECAUSEYOU HAVE A DIFFERENT MENTALITY. (NOT NECESSARILY MORE EDUCATED). HIS COMMENT TO ME IS LESS OF A SLAP IN THE FACE TO BLACKS BUT MORE OF A SLAP IN THE FACE TO THE BIGOTS RACISTS AND SLAVE MASTERS. I LOVE MY LIFE AS AN AMERICAN I DONT LIKE THE PROCESS THAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH ALONG THE WAY, BUT NOW THAT I’M HERE I APPRECIATE IT AND ANY WEALTHY PERSON THAT HAS PROGRESSED BEYOND BEING POOR SHOULD FEEL THE SAME.

KEEP IT REAL!!!

@SIMPLE TOM GO TO HELL, FAG

@ hollywood bs

u said obama is not african american hes kenyan american ..isnt that an oxymoron lol last time i checked the country of kenya was in AFRICA and hes an american citizen so it would be fitting to refer to him as AFRICAN AMERICAN lol but aside from that i agreed with alot of your points but i dnt understand why you are so mad with us americans very few of us have the priviledge of knowing our ‘original’ culture and languages and our native countries and spiritual practices and things like that so please stop making your comments so personal … i wish we werent robbed of these things but we were and thats the facts but what we have done we have came here and created new cultures, history, and languages and good or bad im very proud of that and who I am as an african AMERICAN yes i would love to explore africa if im ever financially able to and explore the countries and cultures and connect with the people there but from what i’ve been told africans dont even view us as ‘brothers and sisters’ so there’s a problem all together and as for this little ignorant being soldier boy all i can do is shake my head these littles boy are so STUPID lol omg!!! i cant help but laugh he seriously needs to put down XXL or Source and pick up some serious reading material no matter what it is hell start with the dictionary learn how to speak in front of a camera and not like your on the court with ya boys …he really irritates me this is why i vowed that when i have children there BET intake is gonna be slim to done because i refuse for them to be entertained by idiots like this

If this fool don’t go back to school somebody beat his azz, this is one ignorant azz black boy, that is right , BOY, this is the only thing I can legally call this idiot, his mother needs to take her dumb azz back to school too, “WTF” have he learned? NOTHING! He is a IDIOT and so is his peers, somebody please lift this fool up and teach him some home training.

@darkest nubian, see that’s just it you’re only making that backward statement cos you didn’t go through any pains to get to the U.S, if indeed you are black, that was done by your ancestors, not you. Moreover, coming out of Africa does not mean you progressed from poverty cos as well as it being my pride and joy, knowing my heritage, my culture and that i was born on the soils of my motherland, it’s also a sense of wealth to me. Interestingly, the U.S relies more on imports than y’all can imagine, they just use tactics, pathetic intimidation and sometimes bride to get their way. Anyway, enough about politics, cos if i’m to get into that I’d have a thing or two to say about African politicians too and their money-grubbing and corrupt selves, that’s why y’all don’t see the progress or wealth of nations like Nigeria which believe it or not, is blessed with wealth though plagued with bad leaders. However, when African Americans get all caught up in the American pride thing, I find it amusing cos to know where you’re going, one must know where he/she is coming from. Solely claiming a land that the Europeans stole from the Indians just as they stole blacks from Africa isn’t a good look.

And @Hollywood BS, let’s be real now, 4m your posts so far, correct me if i’m wrong but i’ve gathered you’re a Naija male, who studied in the U.S and cos you seem intellectual enough to listen to facts, it is a FACT that some Africans and even Nigerian women bleach, not to the wacko jacko or them french-speaking African countries extent, but they do, it’s just on the sly. I mean i told my fellow nigerian colleage that i noticed her face was lighter than when i first met her, she’s like 10years older than me but i had to point it out, cos to me it’s silly, and even more when you deny it which she did. Trying to achieve clearer skin is different from trying to lighten you’re whole face/body to tacky whiteness. I don’t know about over in the U.S but here in London, especially in the South-East, if a black hair shop (which are ironically dominantly set up and run by Asian Indians) don’t display at least 90% of the bleach in the market in 90% of it’s shelves, then it ain’t in business. It’s like being synthetic is natural now. Synthetic hair, skin, accent. More people need to get into the 500 years later (a black movie) vibe. Black is indisputably beautiful but being NATURAL is even more so.

…YUP I love the way u talk.But let me tell u that that’s not true that african people don’t view you as “brothers and sisters”.For us black is black.

But I’ve always been told that african american don’t like African people…

@African girl, i agree with much of your statements cos i ain’t anti African-American but y’all should know that Americans and Europeans didn’t just take from Africa the people alone, they dried out it’s natural resources which they still do till date, weather it be gold, rubber, diamond, oil etc. However now they pay for it, though it’s practically as bad as it was in the slavery period cos they pay peanuts for things that are worth gold. Even if the prices of fuel are at a sky-high, it’s nothing in comparison to what it should be considering it’s running out. Also, with Australia, how can whites just shove the natives of such a place to one corner and send their own convicts and prostitutes to it. See crack heads have always been good at that, taking everything for nothing without any consent for those they deprive. Such a mentality can’t disappear into the air just like that, it can only be diluted to go with times and passed on. I ain’t racist, ‘more a realist.

i really HATE the word ‘coon’

can we not promote it’s usage??

Co-sign Soulja boy. He’s just speaking what you’re all thinking, not one of you would want to go live in Africa with all it’s savagery and disease.

We are VERY lucky to be taken under the loving arms of Mother America. That our sick poisoned culture has squandered these gifts is only on us.

REAL BLOOD CLOT COON

@ Black,yet bla bla bla.I REALLY LOVE THE WAY U TALK.ARE U FROM KKK???

@hollywood

I’m PROUD AFRICAN from west africa( Cameroon ), living in France. I feel you at some point but i think you are wrong or the way you try to explain your view is wrong.

And i can’t add this white americans and white europeans are all white but they doesn’t the same culture.

Finally, it’s not a good look to be divided we are all Black

sorry for my english

He’s so annoying.

Black, yet very well educated

You are as dumb as he is…

UGH!

U african american think u’re blessed to be born in America.But I’m sorry to tell u but the blessed one in that story is America.Didn’t u realize that U are a big part of what make America so famous. Marthin Luther King,Rosa Parks,James Brown,Carl Lewis,Aretha… and the youngs Obama(vote for him ^^),Beyoncé,Kanye West… Everybody know them through the world.

Don’t waste time and energy trying find differences between african and african american people.We are different by many sides but we all the same.That make me smile when I see American African when they’re talking out of their neck like we do,when they’re dancing and so many things that really prove that we have something in common.

But don’t u know that for racist people a black is a black?

Don’t u realize that we black people have something to prove?

soulja boy should catch an ass whoopin for that comment straight up.

____________________________________________________

This is true but for those who try so hard to seperate themselves from all things African or ‘too Black’ I say GO ON! Who needs those types of warped mentalities poisoning our children’s mind? Let them poison their own but they will have no part in corrupting anyone involved in my life or anyone who knows the real deal. They are worse than the whites who do it because they are able to infiltrate into the psyches of other Blacks easier because they resemble them (don’t tell them that though).

I was about to post a similar article!!

Ignorance is infectious apparently.

Poster Boy for having Failed Our Kids!

EbGCH,

apparently ignorant is. These IDIOTS in here took the comments of an illiterate dumbass kid and are now being just as STUPID by arguing over whos better and perpetuating stupid stereotypes about each other. Good job Black people.

Blame my educational system? Are you comparing the educational system in the United States to the educational standard in Africa’s? That is the most ridiculous ‘ish I’ve ever heard LOL. I am quite familiar with the differences as it relates to skin-tone in Africa. However, North Africans, except for Nubians and the Sudanese are NOT native Africans. Modern Egyptians for example are Arabs not native Africans hun. East Africans are lighter than West Africans however they do not have light skin. Light as in a Beyonce’s skintone. Many East Africans are medium-toned like Liya Kebede for example. When I spoke of bleaching, I was speaking of darkskin Africans who desire lighter skin ( because of the Western media’s impact in Africa) and skin-bleaching is very popular amongst those particular Africans.

Qui a tuer les anglophones au cameroun???

The Ashanti and other TRIBES (not only tribal chiefs) were all willing participants who captured people to sell off as slaves for less than pennies.

“All ancient civilizations enslaved their own people.” That is a blatant LIE.

You’re the one that needs a course in WORLD history. East Africans never sold their own people into slavery. Many civilizations did have servants, or indentured servants and class structured society’s however, African’s are the only people on earth to allow Europeans to rob them blind/destroy their thriving civilizations, and they assisted the white man in doing so!

Also, Obama is biracial so how does that make him Kenyan American? He was born in the United States to a white mother. His father was Kenyan American, Obama is not.

He is a damn fool.

To all you african haters. It took Obama, a man of direct Kenyan descent to become the 1st BLACK president of the USA. His father was not a slave but a free thinker.Maybe you african-americans should free your minds and stereotypes of africans. After all, you are using AFRICAN-american to describe yourselves to the white man. So show the real africans some respect.

You are quite challenged with reading comprehension. I didn’t say Obama was African American I said he was BIRACIAL and he is!! He is half white imbecile! His wife is African American and is kids are as well. Only half of his paternal relatives are in Kenya, his other half, THE WHITE HALF IS HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. We know that he has poverty stricken relatives in Kenya, Obama’s visit with them was broadcasted on TV, we saw their little hut. Obama is who he is because of his AMERICAN education and AMERICAN upbringing period.

@ hey hollywood, what is your problem? What are you talking about?

Tu as bu ou quoi? Je crois que tu as unsérieux probleme mec

Where would Obama be if his white mother sent him off to Kenya to live instead of raising him in the United States????????????????? A place where he was given the chance to live amongst and lean about progressive African Americans. He met one in Law School and married her. I’m thankful that his mom had the common sense to know what was best for her children.

I have been reading these post, and I can’t believe how off subject we got. This is about an ignorant statement made by an ignorant person (Soulja Boy). Unfortunately many of us will allow his music to infiltrate our homes and cars, and our children. I refuse to allow anything by him or any other idiot regardless of race to be played around me or my children. If you can’t speak grammatically correct English, you do not get a voice in my home. Attacking each other whether African, or African American or Black (as I choose to call myself) doesn’t change the fact that this Soulja character is deficient in his abilities to reason. He is a clown–just look at him. The fool next to him is too. The time for shucking and jiving for a dollar is over. We can either get our butts in school, educate ourselves for lifelong benefit, or be left behind. I just do not give an audience to this foolishness. We need to unite against stupidity, and defend intelligence, because no matter what part of the world we come from, we are all brown, and we all look bad when someone that looks like us acts less than human.

@ Akira:

Growth of the Slave Trade

Quite possibly, the maintenance of slavery and the social acceptance of slaves were important drawing cards for Islam as it penetrated Africa. Without a knowledge of history, many Africans may be unaware of the fact that Islamic traders carried on a steady slave trade from East African ports for many centuries. Records are available which contain the lists of goods involved in trade with the rest of the world.

Muslim merchants traveled to India, Ceylon, the East Indies, and China, over sea and land, bringing back silks, spices, aromatics, woods, tin, and many other items. Records mention ‘slave girls’ from the Byzantine Empire along with gold and silver, marble workers, and eunuchs. Surprisingly, Muslim traders went as far away as Scandinavia, and especially Sweden, where scores of Muslim coins have been found with inscriptions from the seventh and eleventh centuries. On the long lists of goods which Muslim traders imported from Scandinavia, are found ‘Slavonic slaves, sheep, and cattle’ (cited by Lewis in The Arabs in History). An early ninth century geographer, Ibn Kurradadhbeh, describes Jewish merchants from the south of France ‘who speak Arabic, Persian, Greek, Frankish, Spanish, and Slavonic. They travel from west to east and east to west, by land and sea. From the west they bring eunuchs, slave girls and boys, brocade, beaver skins, sable and other furs, and swords’.

YES East Africans also enslaved their own and this is partially why you see East African women who look like Iman with that lighter skin tone. They were enslaved and raped just like West African women in America.

…we would still be in Africa, no?

not sure the slavemasters deserve a “shout-out”, though…

Why give a shout out to people who destroyed so many lives? He was starting to grow on me a little and now this!

Nowhere in you’re post does it say anything about East Africans. Obviously you don’t know anything about East Africa. Ethiopians are indigenous Africans. In layman’s terms, that means the majority of them don’t posses any admixture from whites or Arabs. Somali’s are closely, genetically related to Ethiopians, however some Somali’s mixed with Arabs as Somalia is predominately an Islamic nation. But most Somali’s are indigenous also. Ethiopians however are predominately Christian and there is alot of data to support the FACT that Europeans are descendants of East Africans not the other way around:

” Genetic genealogy, although a new tool that uses the genes of modern populations to trace their ethnic and geographic origins has also helped pinpoint the possible background of the modern Somalis. According to one prominent study published in the European Journal of Human Genetics, the Somalis are closely related to certain Ethiopian and Eritrean groups:

The data suggest that the male Somali population is a branch of the East African population − closely related to the Oromos in Ethiopia and North Kenya − with predominant E3b1 cluster lineages that were introduced into the Somali population 4000−5000 years ago, and that the Somali male population has approximately 15% Y chromosomes from Eurasia and approximately 5% from sub-Saharan Africa.[12]

Besides comprising the majority of the Y DNA in Somalis, the E1b1b (formerly E3b) genetic haplogroup also makes up the bulk of the paternal DNA of Ethiopians, Eritreans, Berbers, North African Arabs, as well as many Mediterranean and Balkan Europeans.[13] After haplogroup E1b1b, the second most frequently occurring Y DNA haplogroup among Somalis is the Eurasian haplogroup T (M70),[14] which is found in slightly more than 10% of Somali males. Haplogroup T, like haplogroup E1b1b, is also typically found among populations of Northeast Africa, North Africa, Southwest Asia, and the Mediterranean.

********Overall, the genetic studies conclude that Somalis and their fellow Ethiopian and Eritrean Northeast African groups represent a unique and distinct racial bloc on the continent:*************

The most distinct separation is between African and non-African populations. The northeastern-African — that is, the Ethiopian and Somali — populations are located centrally between sub-Saharan African and non-African populations… The fact that the Ethiopians and Somalis have a subset of the sub-Saharan African haplotype diversity — and that the non-African populations have a subset of the diversity present in

FYI: ***********Ethiopians and Somalis — makes simple-admixture models less likely; rather, these observations support the hypothesis proposed by other nuclear-genetic studies (Tishkoff et al. 1996a, 1998a, 1998b; Kidd et al. 1998) — that populations in northeastern Africa may have diverged from those in the rest of sub-Saharan Africa early in the history of modern African populations and that a subset of this northeastern-African population migrated out of Africa and populated the rest of the globe. These conclusions are supported by recent mtDNA analysis (Quintana-Murci et al. 1999).[15″

Damn. I did not know being black was so complicated. Whitey got these problems??

dumbass, how ignorant and retarded. Black people don’t you think we should start showing the world we are inteligent and capable of doing so much great things, instead of some us acting foolish.

if he did say this then that’s really sad.

T-PAIN LOOK LIKE A BIG BOTTLE OF KID’S COUGH SYRUP

@ Pride

I said “Is Uganda Africa?”, I didn’t say “Is Uganda IN Africa?”. By saying “Is Uganda Africa?” I am IMPLYING that whatever happens in Uganda is not a reflection of the African continent.

But I don’t expect ghetto trash like you to comprehend sentences. I could barely understand a word of what you were trying to say: illiterate rant. When the U.S economy gets into a recession, African Americans like yourself will suffer the most. You will face difficulties competing in the international market: you are black first and foremost, you lack any decent education and you speak only one language ( English) and you barely even speak the English properly. It’s a damn shame!!

What this doof said was not funny. What some fail to realize, especially in education, ignormuses like him are ONLY able to say old stupid stuff and joke and clown. They go completely silent when you ask them what 2 + 2 is so this behavior isnt funny. My teacher relatives deal with this type of ignorance daily with multiple black kids who are ONLY able to act stupid..and literally cant read or write…literally. Does this fool know how many black folks, our ancestors, for a decades had to endure unimaginable oppression. Many many many many, many meaning millions of black people have been lynched, raped, castrated, mutilated, killed for fun, whipped, families broken up and sold off….so he can freely stand up there talking like that….but I have decided….coons will do and say anything including standing on the corner and parting their butt cheeks as far in opposite directions for a dollar…translation(he will do and say anything for a dollar) What a bafoon he is!

Skin bleaching is popular across West Africa not just in Uganda.

Let me find out that the people on the blogs are getting more and more intelligent. I applaud your post, too much on point….It is VERY encouraging…

I must agree with Hollywood BS on all points. I am half Jamaican and half African (Ghana) and was brought up in Canada. I love ALL my people no matter where they are living, and the truth must be told. Americans in general – regardless of colour – tend to know only of what goes on in their own backyard. There is a rich black life outside of the states but you are not exposed to it. I am sick of Canadian whites (and others) treating me in a negative way due to the crap they saw on American news, quoting American statistics et al. Please. Don’t get me wrong, we have issues in our community i.e. gangs, drugs, lack of representation, medical discrimination, economics, etc. but it’s not the same thing so our Canadian leaders need to stop lumping us together. We don’t have the same culture AT ALL.

A gov’t study in my province (state) concluded that a black university grad has the same chances of finding a job as a white high school dropout. Another demonstrated that the average black here in Canada has 4 more years education than the average white. Now put the 2 together and what do you have? We have NO affirmative action here and trust me, this makes life f***ed up! I refuse to let these klansmen determine whether I can feed my daughter today, so I run my own business.

As for dat likkle bloodclaat punk ass soulja bwoy, being 17 is no excuse for being an ignoramus. Check the grade school children from Ron Clark Academy on Youtube doing an electoral parody called “You can vote however you like”. I don’t agree with putting kids in the middle of this stuff, but they understand the process and are not going to iterate the disgusting lack of forethought that that little idiot came with. Didn’t he say Ice T was the FOREFATHER of his nuts?? I guess that was a good thing.

Nuff said and respect due.

@AFRICAN GIRL.

WHATEVER, HONEY. US BEING BOUGHT FROM OUR **AFRICAN SLAVE MASTERS** WAS AN OBVIOUS INDICATION THAT WE WERE IN GOOD SHAPE. A SLAVE IS A SLAVE NO MATTER WHO YOUR MASTER IS. AGAIN I AM NOT ONLY PROUD BUT ***BLESSED***TO BE AMERICAN. AT LEAST I HAVE A CHOICE. IF IM AMBITIOUS THE SKY IS THE LIMIT, IF IM LAZY I’LL GET WHAT I DESERVE. UNFORTUNATELY IN 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES THOSE SAME OPTIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.I WILL NOT DISRESPECT YOU , I RESPECT YOUR OPINION. MY ANCESTORS DID PAY THE PRICE, I RESPECT IT AND MY LIFETIME COMMITTMENT TO FINISHING WHAT THEY STARTED.BUILD MY OWN EMPIRE OF WORLD CHANGING GOOD CITIZENS, BUILD MY OWN WEALTH AND RICHES, GIVE TO THE LESS FORTUANTE AND DEDICATE MYSELF TO LIFE AND NOT JUST MY LIFE AND NOT JUST MYSELF. SOULJA BOY IS VERY SWIFT, YOU PEOPLE NEED TO CATCH UP. HE DIDNT ELABORATE BECAUSE HE DIDNT HAVE TO. LET THE BS GO. RACISM STILL EXSISTS BUT SLAVERY IS OVER. AND FOR YOU ALL WHO THINK THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND EMPLOMENT IS MODERN DAY SLAVERY. YALL NEED TO ADVANCE.

@TEJU AND AFRICAN GIRL AND EVERYONE THAT IS “AFRICAN” BUT UNINFORMED.

EUROPEANS DID ONLY WHAT THE AFRICAN LEADERS ALLOWED. THE NATURAL RESOURCES AND ANCESTORS OF BLACK AMERICANS WERE **BOUGHT** FROM AFRICAN LEADERS. AND THOSE MINING COMPANIES AND OTHER COMPANIES ARE STILL REEPING THOSE BENEFITS OF THE INEXPENSIVE RESOURCES SOLD TO THEM TO DAY. I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS WRONG TO TAKE ADVANTAGE THE WAY THEY DID. BUT OBVIOUSLY THOSE AFRICAN KINGS WERE GREEDY THEY WORKED OUT BAD DEALS. AND KNOW THE COUNTRY IS PAYING FOR IT. SIMILAR TO AMERICANS. BUT OBVIOUSLY WE( THE PEOPLE SOLD INTO SLAVERY) COULDNT HAVE BEEN BENEFITTING FROM THE RESOURCES TOO MUCH BECAUSE WE WERE SLAVES.

@ TEJU, AND ALL AFRICAN AMERICANS

IT SEEMS LIKE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE DISLIKING THE FACT THAT BLACK AMERICANS ARE PROUD TO BE AMERICAN. I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS, AND I AGREE THAT MOVING FROM AFRICA DID NOT IMMEDIATELY TAKE US FROM POVERTY, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT POVERTY HERE VS THERE IT’S DIFFERENT WHICH OUR POVERTY IS, MEDICAID HEALTH CARE, PUBLIC HOUSING, FOODSTAMPS AND MORE, 3RD WORLD IS, ASSED OUT, UNFORTUNATELY. I AGREE WITH **BOBARABA** WE ARE ALL BLACK AND AS LONG AS WE ARE WE SHOULD STICK TOGETHER BECAUSE WE ALL GO THROUGH RACIST BS. BUT LORD KNOWS THAT ONLY IN AMERICA CAN YOU GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. (SOULJA BOYS CONTRIBUTION TO THE RAP GAME, LAZY WELL FRE RECIPIENTS) OR NOTHING TO SOMETHING ( OPRAH WENFRY) WE ARE BLESSED,

TO ALL AFRICAN AMERICANS

LETS START APPRECIATING THE LITTLE THINGS OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. BECAUSE OUR POOR IS NOT LIKE 3RD WORLD POOR, BUT IT CAN GET COULD GET UGLY!!!

@AKIRA THANK YOU GIRL, BREAK IT DOWN.

I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST AFRICANS I LOVE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

BUT TELL ME WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW AFRICAN HISTOR OTHER THAT FOR MY OWN INTEREST?

WHERE WILL IT TAKE ME?

NO WERE, BECAUSE I LIVE IN AMERICA, WERE AFRICAN THE LAWS ARE EUROPEAN!

@ Darkest Nubian

@ Darkest Nubian

I do know my history and let me tell you what I’ve been taught.When they came in africa,white people who regarded black people as animal,decided to make “razzia” which means that they caught them like animals and brought them back on there countries because they had weapons,they were powerful.Black people tried to resist but their resistance was insufficient.some covetous african kings decided to draw benefit from this situation.They decided to sell to white people their own people and white people accepted to give them shoddy goods back.I am not making up excuses for that kings because their behaviour is unacceptable.Even if u are weak,u have to try to resist til death.This is just to show u that with our without african king’s agreement,they would have taken african people.

Let me remind u that one century after the end of slavery,white people came back in Afica to colonize its countries.

And i see u asking to Akira what to learn african history for.You know this is not because you’re black that you are obliged to know africa’s history.But don’t be narrow-minded.Forget that u’re black and learn it for general culture.

I was born and grown up in Senegal ,in Africa but I learned french,english,spanish.I learned african history,french history,american history,japanese history… I am not saying that to show off but I just wanna let u know that to understand other communities and civilizations u have to know their history and their way of life.

U see in the whole world, people are regarding Usa as a rich country but where people are not very intelligent becuz too many american people wouldn’t be able to locate Europ,for example,on a map.

Life don’t start and end on America.Open ur minds guys.

p.s:sorry for my english.I am a French-speaking person

or rather than amusing, more worrying.

@ AFRICAN GIRL AND TEJU,

THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS, AFRICAN GIRL I’LL GRADUATE WITH A MASTERS IN POLI-SCI IN DECEMBER OF O9, I AM A HISTORY FANATIC THAT IS WHY I ASKED, WHY SHOULD I STUDY AFRICAN HISTORY IF I HAVE NO INTEREST. EUROPEAN HISTORY IS MOST INTERESTING TO ME, AND NOT BECAUSE I LOVE WHITES, ONLY BECAUSE IT’S INTERESTING.

TEJU OBVIOUSLYT YOUR NOT INFORMED ON AMERICAN HISTORY, IF YOU WERE YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THE INDIANS HAD IT WORST THAN BLACK SLAVES.

LOVE YOU GUYS, JUST RECOGNIZE THE WEALTH AND OPPORTUNITIES HERE AND DONT TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED.

The Indians had it worst than slaves you say, well…you said it, I didn’t. Atleast they still reside where they originated, atleast they weren’t sold on an industrial scale as kept people. I’m just saying my mind, but i respect your views too, so it’s kool.

He’s an idiot.

WHAT’S GOOD MY FOLKS
