If not of Africa there would be no black person on this planet

(Where the others came from I don't know).

I just keep remembring the stories my Grand parents told us. Mass killings, Rape, force labor, ... I really had difficulties believing him but the scars on his face and body were horrible. I was sad when they passed away.

They suffered and so did many.

His stories and pictures are the first lesson my children will learn.

This is not hate, it simply part of my history I can't forget.

The ethnic battles you see today are modern made tensions, not ancient ones.

@maureen1002

This is Western agenda garbage at its best. There is no current problems don't harken back to the partitioning of Africa by European powers and the subsequent exploitation by them of Africa's resources, etc. All of the regimes propped up by them, and those seeking to through off this yoke rsulted in what we see today. Has nothing to do with Africans not uniting. Africans have always lived among each other.

[arab3515]

@BedRoomGangster actually "black" skin is a world wide thing....in ancient days its was common to see dark skinned people all over the world, now people only think of africa when they see sombody with darks skin....either africa or southern india

@maureen1002 take your people of thieves stealing african oil,minerals,that build millitary camps Out of Africa,then come give us lessons you Hypocrite cunt.Your prostitution with an african man in the past does not allow you to talk about african ppl,btw you also sell guns so its funny you will say that we must unite,go tell it to innocent afghanistan or Iraki ppl you are killing everyday then maybe you can progress.

[maureen1002]

@ndoss01 blame the original borders on the white people, but you can't blame the CURRENT borders on them. The problem with Africa as a continent is that it can't unite. If the people would stop fighting amongst each other, it could be the strongest nation in the world. Stop blaming the whites. Take some responsibility for your peoples OWN actions, and progress.

[ndoss01]

we have differents cultures its true but we are one people dont forget we are neighbors with nigerians.you know borders were brought by white ppl.we keep our roots but we need to forget these little differences.

[fenisc]

u know west africans like to act like nigerians except ivory caost but i don't want to look like nigerians u know or i know that the women over there are different from the francophones.

[ndoss01]

no worry you still cameroonian and we keep our roots.

[fenisc]

well i do i like them alot but i don't want to be from there.

[ndoss01]

why lol we are the same people,dont you want Africa to unite someday.

[fenisc]

but i don't want to be from the west.

[ndoss01]

i am francophone too but if we talk about north ,south east and west we will probably be associated with the west.this is why they call us west africans its like a tribal association we are bantus 4 the most part.

[fenisc]

well not i.cause i am a francophone i am with the Zai and all that.

[ndoss01]

yes but we are commonly associated to west africans.

[fenisc]

well we are from central africa camroun

[ndoss01]

ok sarah Peace.
