I dreamt last night of a nigerian man.  Who he was and where he came from I don't know.  He came to me in my bed.  He loved me in my bed.  Oh my gosh, that Nigerian man.  He touched my body, that Nigerian man.  He kissed my heart, that Nigerian man.  He held me close to him and I felt him all of him inside of me, oh that Nigerian man.  He felt me wrap around him and my warmth love him, oh that Nigerian man.  This man was such a surprise he made me feel so good as he laid me down and loved me hard and strong.  Oh my Nigerian man, was it you in my dream that made me feel so good and reach so many climaxes.  Touching me, loving me, holding me, kissing me, feeling me, caressing me.  Oh that Nigerian man.

     Do African American people believe they are better than African people?  Do African people think they are better than African American people?  I honestly feel as though it depends on the region either race is from.  I think personally that neither is better than the other.  A lot of the time it is the unknowing that determines the feelings they have toward one another.  A lot of African-Americans believe that Africans are violent or ignorant, which is not at all true.  A lot of Africans think that African American men are gangstas and deadbeat dads and the women are permiscious and have very bad attitudes, which is not at all true.  What do you think?

     Remember that the only thing that a lot of Americans knew about was National Geographic images.  Of Puma and Shickta running around with cloths covering the man's genitals and the lady's punanny.  Running around in mud huts and herding cows.  No form of technology around at all.  Also, remember that the a lot of Africans knew only about Rashad and Shaniqua slangin on the block wearing baggie jeans and hoochie mama shorts.  Running around the ghetto projects on welfare or selling drugs.  No form of respect for themselves or others.  Now that you know the misconceptions, lets get to the roots of these misconceptions.  It is white media that portrays both races like this.  Ignorance is a very contagious thing.  If white people are ignorant of either race they will make the other race just as ignorant.  Do you know that the black population is the highest in the world.

     There are black people in every continent in the world.  Eurasia has the Indian people.  Europe has the Colombians.  Australia has the Aborigines.  Africa has the whole country, even South Africa.  The Americas have the Eskimos, Black people, Indians and Mexicans.  We are only separated by language and hair texture.  White people don't want us to see each other as one because then we would be the dominant race.  So they play us against each other.  They've been doing this for years.  I know that I am not African.  I am African American and I am very proud of it.  I know that I am not the same as an African person.  The only thing that actually makes us two different races is our culture and dialect.

     So do you think that African Americans and Africans think they are better than each other?  What is your view about why you think so or why you don't think they do?

     America is a great country to live in but I think my fellow Americans take a lot of things for granted.  For one we expect the police to protect us and to serve us with no problems.  We expect fairness when we get a job.  We know that if someone is treating us wrong because of our race we can complain to a higher authority.  We also can play outside and not have to see military men holding AK47s or kids with machetes.  How is it that we only think of our own well beings and not really concern ourselves with the outside world.

     Before I met an African man from the Nuer tribe from South Sudan, I really thought I was struggling.  He told me stories about how when he was younger the militia would come to his village and people had to run to the Nile River.  The last time he ran to the Nile he lost his family and had to relocate to a refugee camp in Kenya.  I had another friend from the Nubian tribe out of South Sudan as well.  As a young child the militia tore through his village as well but he didn't leave without battle wounds.  This beautiful young man has bullet wounds on his legs.  At the young age of 23 he was a victim of a war crime.  He was shot at the age of around six or seven years.  Another young man was at my apartment swimming pool and he took off his shirt.  He had buckshot scars all over his chest.  He received these also from the militia coming to his village in Sudan.

    I read about how the government in Nigeria are corrupt and have had a lot of people from there express their feelings about the horrible treatment they have received from the government.  It is very odd to me to see that the Nigerian government is suppressing their people like they do.  Nigeria has the most promising intellects in the country of Africa.  How these people are so advanced and knowledgeable despite being a third world country baffles me.  The government turns the lights out at will and the people have to live off of gas generators and candles.  How can you make a person live like that?  I'm sure that to talk about the situation I would need to be there to see it.  But from visitors statements and the people I have spoken to from there are not pleased with the government.  They say that Nigeria is a beautiful place and love the country.  I believe it is beautiful but why can't the government see this as well.  There's a lot of promises the government tells their people and they have a lot of excuses about why things aren't provided for them.

     So, I guess I'm saying that, being an American to me is a blessing and a curse.  I am blessed that I don't have to deal with the hardships and poverty outside of the USA.  But then again I am cursed because just like any other American, we only see the problem that is right under our noses.  If it isn't in our face all the time we pay no attention.  We are not perfect people and we are not always fair.  But my ancestors stood strong and marched to make things better.  It's not all better we still have our issues.  But I truly feel that Africa is the root of all that is around it.  The best, most attractive and smartest people come from Africa.  If the people could unite like we did for one cause it might change something.  I didn't march and I didn't sit in the all white restaurants but my mother did.  She was scared but knew she had to do it for my future.  I don't promote civil war but I do promote knowledge.  All the guns in the world cannot kill knowledge.  Because in the end Knowledge is Power.
