[QUOTE]Originally posted by Atheist: [QB] And to other Africans. I don't know where you get the notion that somehow African Americans call you guys apes. I'll tell you that those guys are in the minorities. I have never lived in harlem so I would have no idea how those people think. But again living in the southern part of the country for a very long time I have met a lot of black people. (remember most of the black people are in the south not north) You would be surprised how mild they are especially the older people. Most of the black crimes happen in big cities. We also have had a lot of black immigrants in my school especially a lot of Nigerians and Jamaicans, they get along right away with the black Americans. They associate with them right away. Unlike Latinos black Americans have strong pride in their blackness and heritage. I'll guarantee you that you won't find one of them denying their African heritage. Even the so called "uncle toms" won't deny it. This country has a deep history of strong black community. And especially the knowledgeable ones wouldn't call their own people ape. Black people in Harlem have been racially discriminated (especially by corrupted white cops) for such a long time they don't believe in anyone. Black on black crimes are very common so it's not just Africans but black Americans as well. But again population wise they are in the minorities. It’s really the media that blows it out of proportion and end up stereotyping them. I lived in the south for a very long time I have never seen a violent black man my entire. That's only on TV. You guys can describe yourself as something else but at the end you guys are of the same people. You see white people relating to Greek civilization without being related to Greeks. Racially you guys are all black. It’s really the media and the government that divides people. A lot of my Asian friends are surprised when they come over here. They think black people are somehow all violent. Wrong bullshit stereotype. Djehuti, I agree I need to do more research [IMG]http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/smile.gif[/IMG] but I do know that they have made strides in those departments as well. Good point. It’s just that in our school system here in US they neglect all those. Neglecting is as worse as distorting! P.S As an asian and being non-black I'll tell you this it's so much easier getting along with Africans than African Americans. African Americans seem to be more tentative in terms of relationship with non-blacks. But once you get to know them they are really fun loving people. I have had couple of Nigerian friends and we became friends right away. [This message has been edited by Atheist (edited 02 June 2005).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
