African immigrants do better financial and economically than white, black, and hispanic groups in the u.s.

I think the picture of a female African Harvard University undergraduate disheartens you. All you want 2 dwell on is the negativity aspect of contemporary Africa. And can I find out from you? who did u think deliberately infected Africa with HIV and A.I.D.S?

We should come to the aid of each other. One of the biggest problems of our continent is political reform. From the look of things, it will be a fantasy for a long time to come. Mugabe,Meles Zenawi,Moi Kibaki, Ghadhafi and many more of the leaders who have stuck around for so long should go.

i don't believe all people are equal not just because white europeans conquered most of the world, but have maintained a steady upper hand when they had just as much natrual disasters, wars, ect.

Now the racist "black power" black folks would say that they are superior. But they have nothing to go on! They know that, and are angry at the fact that Africa today, with all the aid from developed nations, still has the highest # or HIV, rape, drugs, violence and tribal warfare. Sucks to be them.

the quotations where so on point, only africans can tell their own stories thats why NOLLYWOOD is going to go far when it can get the production values up to international standards.. we have stories to tell, because we are the art of story telling...

this is the main reason that aa'a and carribeans dont want any association with Africa, the quote about telling African stories being told to glorify the hunter is so true, thats why i didnt go and see the idi amin film. why have a whiteman who didnt exist in real life tell the story.?. We need to tell our own stories.. not have foriegners tell them thru their own eyes not african eyes.. We can only represent ourselves by ourselves to a wider audience. that isnt happening right now.

i don't have tension against Africans but i do have problems with them as neighbors,they can't seem to handle it if you not being friends with them and talking to them and they get upset.I do not understand this,maybe this is a cultural thing.
