Star...this is an interesting read by an African who came to the US......American Blacks attacking and making fun of African blacks.
“The most seethed resentment many Africans-IN-America have toward African-Americans is a personal one. Forget not being welcomed with open arms, each African-In-America has at least a story of an early encounter with one or more African-Americans that left him/her feeling less than brotherly-loved.
If you come here young enough to attend elementary and/or high school, to your surprise while many White kids are at least cordial with you,... it’s the African-Americans that make fun of you, your people and where you come from;.... they are the most ignorant of all that you are (and thought they too were).
Personally, it was my African-American classmates in high school that called me Kunta Kinte, laughed at my Payless shoes, and asked me if I lived on trees where I came from.
When you stand on the other side of a counter from them, they are rude, quick to be impatient with you for not speaking English or for doing so with an accent; in a relationship they are confrontational; in separation they are vindictive; as strangers they are abrasive and unrefined.
A friend once told me he hated (yes, hated) African-Americans because when he first came to America–in Southside Chicago–after cashing his first paycheck at one of those check cashing places, he put his first American dollars in his pocket and proudly walked to the nearest bus station....
.... However, before the bus came, he was approached by an African-African who punched him in the face, robbed him of his money and left him bleeding on the snowy ground. (He has never forgiven the group for that.
Obviously it makes little sense to “hate” a whole group because of one encounter with one individual, but human beings, we are prone to stereotypes and often base lifelong sentiments on a single encounter. It doesn’t make it right. But human beings are seldom perfect.”
