The irony of the issue is that in terms of a marriage partner most white males are not going to make a distinction between an African immigrant woman and a Black American woman.

Some people would perceive dealing with Africans as being more comfortable than dealing with Black Americans. However, I can see the point that sometimes skin color is the main denominator.

I can't believe how many stupid White people there are in America, and it's not getting any better! The way the education system is going down the drain, and university education has become unaffordable to many, I don't see a lot of hope for the US.

You'd be surprised. You think everyone is like you guys and doesn't realize or appreciate the cultural differences between the Africans and African Americans?

Well if Whites are stupid what can we say for African- Americans who perform worse than even the poorest Whites in just about every academic measurement?

It's also interesting despite the economic progress that Africans have made in the past decade that some Africans feel compelled to come to America and be critical of Black people in America when they have a myriad of problems in their own countries that in fact compelled them to come to America.

Thanks for sharing. More irrelevance from the usual suspects I challenge you to find where I said no crime exists in Ghana.

That's true. But I think most of it is just that we are considered more exotic. The type who is intrigued by foreign women gravitates towards African women. Anectdotally the African women who went to college with me tended to be approached by white men much more often than any other type. But I went to school in NYC so this may be atypical.

Jerry Sandusky "mentored children as well...I was referring to people with "pure" motives for mentoring and not opportunists (a category in which I would most likely place GZ, as well)

Let's stick to the topic at hand and leave the GZ discussion to its respective threads.
But, can I still call BS when I see it?

But you need to ask this: Where did the differences in culture come from? Where did it originate?
