why don't you like portugal?
I loved lisbon
Too much bad history between both countries (Angola vs Portugal).
Now, bad history is not the same as bad blood. Angolans in general love going to Portugal, shyt is like a second home to many (they even buy property and live out the remainder of their retirements there).
But the way I was raised was a bit different. I just don't think it makes much sense for me to associate with them in any way shape or form, let me deal with other white people (americans, germans, french, etc...) IF I should ever need a cac for anything (which I never have needed), that's the way I see it.
They colonized us to the point that even when we drove them away through war, finally, the very first "first lady" of Angola still turned out to be a 100% cac-portuguese woman. WOAT first lady too. My parents raised me right, but only in college did I learn what they tried to explain to me as I was growing up. Angolans suffer from Stockholm syndrome in regards to the portuguese.
This fact fed my aversion to Portugal and the portuguese. There's more than enough of us trying to be cool buddies with them since "slavery/racism ended". Even after they show us time and time again that the only negros portuguese don't fukk with in Portugal are the ones they used to own once upon a time. They'll act liberal as hell with other blacks, especially American ones, but portuguese blacks still are beneath them.
Personally, I couldn't give two fukks about that country, but I do wish we angolans had, as a country, the decency to follow proper divorce procedures as the battered victims in that awful marriage called colonization.
But I understand why not many would share my views. They're enough for me though.
