I wrote this poem after an ignorant girl made fun of me being African. Comment if you will.

I've gotten good feedback so I decided to put it up here.

It's time people should be proud of their African heritage.

Song - Genirvana
(I forgot where I got it from I just know it's from Equatorial Guinea)

  • African sista, i am sooo happy that u are proud of who you are, but who are u attacking here? I understand you may be hurt by ppls ignorance, but how are u perpetuating ignorance. Being African is beautiful, being Black is a political necessity, b/c no matter what, we, as Africans/Black ppl/African-Americans etc. are in this together!!! Look at our continent's history, you will see how we are beautifully diverse, but share MANY of the same historical struggles-Wat does this really mean for us

  • Like I said, It was ONE girl that kept harassing me for being from Sierra Leone.

  • okay...who is that toward?

  • some girl that pissed the hell out of me.

  • We are part of the African diaspora, we are descendants of African people and we should try to look out for each other. I am a believer of Pan Africanism and its ideology in terms of racial unity of African type people.

    I am assuming it was an African American girl that harassed you. I am happy you are happy to be African and I am happy to be of African descent. We should both be happy in who we are and where we came from....but when you say you know where you will be when your food stamps run dry and welfare gone and fathers abound, I feel as if you are attacking African Americans and the issues we face. I am sorry you were made fun of for being African but do not be ignorant like that girl.
