It's a Shame Africa's Perception Is fukked

I get that. However, in about 10 years, I don't see myself living in the United States anymore.

As far as tribalism goes, educate me, how do said tribes treat american black people? Are we discriminated against over there?

Not really some might be cool with you being american some might not it depends on the person.

Like I said if you have money you can eat well in Nigeria especially if you are an expat.

Money is king in Nigeria you can pay off the police, get maids, guards, etc..

White people portray Africa as an undesirable place to be in with no hope scaring away potential black investors and successful African amricans from moving there. All while secretly taking over the worlds richest continent and draining their resources.

Well they are doing a terrible job because everyone is in Africa a while back they deported some Chinese illegals from Nigeria.

Stay out of the tribal areas and stick to the city centers. When shiit goes down, you do not want to be in a shanty town. Same thing goes if you was in Mexico, Brazil, or Compton, it doesn't matter where across the seven seas, be smart.



Africa is not bad, but if you go, have a plan. And know a little about the geography of the place, and the current status of the places you want to go. For instance I would never go in any Arab controlled place of Africa, cause those Muslims are too backwards and they can Sharia & Caliph. Plus they be beheading Christians sometimes.

It's common knowledge that the jerseys of the losing Superbowl team get donated to Africa right? Nah, those jerseys go specifically to several countries all over the globe through the World Vision organization.

After losing Super Bowl XLIII in 2009, Arizona Cardinals gear was sent to children and families living in extreme poverty in El Salvador. In 2010, after the New Orleans Saints defeated Indianapolis, the Colts gear printed up for Super Bowl XLIV was sent to earthquake-ravaged Haiti.

Neither being African nations.

In 2011, after Pittsburgh lost to the Green Bay Packers, the Steelers Super Bowl apparel went to Zambia, Armenia, Nicaragua and Romania.

Only one on this list.

World Vision’s Sheryl Watkins says the organization doesn’t know where this year’s donated Broncos goods will go yet, but will likely include countries they’ve distributed gear to in the past. This includes Bosnia, El Salvador, Mongolia, Zambia, Armenia, Nicaragua, Romania, Uganda, Burundi, Mali, and Rwanda.

That makes 5 countries in Africa out of a possible 47. 53 if you count the islands.

It may not seem like a big deal, but laziness like that does real damage to the perception of Africa to black americans. When we don't respect a continent full of other black people, it leads to a whole set of other issues with american and African relations. Since we're in the business of finding solutions here, I believe we have to make it a priority to get some control over our media and fix this.
