An" Afro" thats a new term..never heard that one before..

Just a short cut for people of African descent that I made up.

I am a black american (of African descent!!) and to be honest with you, I personally feel that their is an ignorant perception on our brothers in sisters who are from Africa. I think part of the reason for that being is because of Television and Media. Alotta stuff we see on tv gives people images of things and automatically we hold those images as being true & a 'generalization'. I feel that its purposely done to keep us divided in some way or another.

And for the record: I LOVE AFRIKA!!!

[vmwye]

I t goes BOTH ways. TRUST & believe there is much miseducation in Africa as well as amerikkka. and when some meet a sista like me from the US they don't accept it... They make me pay 4 the bad ppl they meet even when I give them oppurtunity 2 see different. Even tho I may have had an African from Africa treat me badly I could NEVER hate my ppl or put anyone above my ppl!

In African LOVE

Yaa

Yes those individuals are a small minority that exists everywhere in the world. The differences are the relationship between them and the authorities as well as the "response" towards their plight.

...I must point out however that those individuals that exhibit that destructive behavior are only a small percentage of OUR people. The fact is, the media (a primary tool that is aiding in our mental deterioration) only shines the spotlight on those disturbed individuals. So they are only example foreigners see, and they are all WE see as well, as you pointed out in your video.

Great video brother!

The American oppression involves corruding the psyche. As a brother Born in the America's I will say that Our people here are suffering from a severe case of amnesia, that has lead to a mild form of Psychosis (Psychosis-literally means abnormal condition of the mind). Having to live with and embrace the culture of the perpetrators Has corrupted much of our righteousness. Hence, some of us have resorted to taking on self-destructive traits, charecteristics, and activities.

[RevolutionaryINK]

I must say, the struggles Of our people in the America's are vastly diffrent than those of our people on the Mother continent. No NOT GREATER, just VASTLY DIFFRENT. I don't think we will ever truley understand what each other has to endure when it comes to the oppressive nature of the "powers that be."

Afros and Africans? Your title says it all. There has been an intential agenda set forth to divide us. Sadly our people on both sides of the Atlantic fall for it. Most people gain their perceptions from the media. Then when people venture to the other side, they already have their minds made up so they only recognize that negative element.
