I am a Mexican American 20 year old person who has great respect for the black culture and Nigeria. I am a music major and I am forced to study western music in school, when I come home I get really bored of the same things over and over again, but when I listen to Fela, I become engaged in ways I didn't think were possible in music. I don't pretend to know much about Fela's culture, but his music is amazing. Cheers from Texas!

The comments on Fela songs are always the nicest, and most intelligent.

@GTpanik mohammed ali was given the same accord that we would give visitors NORMALLY , he was not "treated like a king" he was treated LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING .. we have RESPECT in whatever culture he happened to go to central africa and was accorded the respect we give to each other..its NORMAL i dont know about slave name all i know is that mohammed ali was treated cordially as is NORMAL.

Queen, just because I live in America doesn't mean I'm not African. If that is the case, then let's talk about Muhammad Ali. When he first traveled to Africa, he was treated like a King! They respected him because he turned his back on America and got rid of his slave name. So, he depends on the people.

with us, as africans its different we travel freely and leave equally freely , so if its not working for us we will leave and i do know nigerian who are coming back home to live , sometimes its not all about the "bling bling" and "comfort" its about being home and feeling at home.. FELA never left his HOME and never stopped being a nigerian god rest his soul.

@GTpanik but if america is not your country and you resent it isnt it difficult to live there ?. i could never live where i dont feel comfortable in, but the irony is that even if you travel to any african country you will still be treated like an american so that is going to be a problem . am not saying you should not resent your place of birth but you need to come to terms with what it is doing to you as the whites are not going to budge an inch they dont care ,it doesnt register with them.

@SuperQueenofAfrica

The thing about it is that this not my country. I'm not treated as an American. So, why should I call it my country? It is an Snakeish country due to the Europeans came and made phoney laws, contracts, and killed so many people. That's why I call it the United Snakes of Amerikkka.

[SuperQueenofAfrica]

@GTpanik why do you call your country "united snakes of americakka! am curious about that, its not something i have seen on visits to the states personally, to me america is just a country nothing more, nothing less. just a country .

@SuperQueenofAfrica

I don't know if my family is or not. All I know that I'm an African from the United Snakes of Amerikkka. But I will do a blood test to see where I'm from.
