What are they doing? I don't see them doing anything different than what I'm doing.

Let's see: Blacks from AFRICA are usually soft spoken, hard workers, educated, have the idea that NO 1 owes them a thing, sober, polite and so on. Even many racist white people drop their attitudes around Black Africans compared to many American Blacks.

You haven't answered my question. But then, I didn't expect you to.

Can you explain what keen insight you posses that allows you to know without a doubt what a group of about 40,000,000 people are each thinking on an individual basis?

You've posted in the thread I started "Obama leads Romney 97 to 1 in Virginia" and you have to ask?

I mean there's nothing to suggest African Americans aren't a monolith.

Some people here have a sick and twisted obession with African Americans. Between the racists and the self haters, I am not sure who is worse.

I am black and most of the Africans that I meet in the US are very nice people, but please don't act like the continent is full of shining examples of economic and political success. Why is this...could it be colonialism and exploitation...hmm? It isn't just Africa that was exploited and had land stolen. Ever stopped to think that something like this would have an affect on the natives?

White people did the same thing to each other in Europe. My people, the Irish, were treated real bad by the English till maybe 100 years ago. American Indians did that same thing here in what is now the US and Mexico. Asians don't always play well with each other either.

Africa: white people were only really there for maybe 80 years then they left before most of us were born. What the Blacks do to each other today in Somalia, Congo and so on CAN'T be put on the white man cause they have no power there.
