Goofy African Men and Why Women Love Them...

Well ladies,

I am sure we all have dated at least one goofy guy in our past. They are sweet, however, who really wants a man who trips over his own shoelases. Anyhow, I once dated this Ghanian man. He was 30 (Or so he said) and really sexy. His face wasn't all that however. The only thing about him I did not find very attractive was the fact that he was sooo goofy.

He was a thick dude. One that had a little bit of weight on him, you know the kind that women find sexy. He was ugly from a face point of view, but women really don't care about that now do they. We eventually broke up because he was so goofy.

I wanted to know if any other women had stories about their goofy relationships and if they would care to share.

Why Africans and American Blacks "Really Don't Like Each Other"

I had never met an African until I left highschool and started college in Jackson, MS. I was attending a school called Tougaloo College which is a small private African American college. One of my professor, Dr. Olabode (amazing how I still remember that name) was from Nigeria. I liked him. He was funny and frank and open and warm. Well, I also met a few other africans there in Jackson, MS and they were cool for the most part, although they were highly sexually charged.

Well, I moved to Atlanta, GA and WHOA!!! was I in for a big suprise. It seems like 5 out of 10 folks I met there were from some part of Africa. Many of them were friendly at first, but after getting to know them I found them to be have deep seated stereotypes (Go figure) of American blacks. They could not understand why so many of us did not take advantage of the American education in this country, especially when the Government provided you with loans and grants to go to school. I was always hearing from them how American blacks don't take advantage of the vast opportunities in this country.

Second, many of the Africans I met looked down on american blacks. They were arrogant almost. They treated the women like street hookers and after they "toyed" with American black women, they would go back to their countries to pick their wives "or" marry a white woman. I found African men to be just as whorish, if not more so, than their American black male counterparts. They looked at wives as property and someone to cook and have their children. Their wives had no opinion on anything. They are mindless drones.

Now, Nigerians are all of the above and "worse" but they had sense enough to demand out of their women that they work. They made "sure" that their wives were of the educated sort who could pull in the big money. Nothing wrong with that. While American black males were running around looking at women as only "sex" objects, African men seemed to have higher standards in picking the mother of their children.

American blacks on the other hand look at Africans and feel they have no room to look down on anyone because they have let white European domination of their continent for years. They are brainwashed by all of the Jewish and White controlled media outlets that only depict Africa as dark, dangerous and full of despair. They never show the more prosperous parts of Africa. They do this by design I think.

However, with nations such as Ghana starting projects like "TheJosephProject.com" (Check the website out, its fantastic) where they are welcoming ALL blacks back "home" I think that their will start to be a unity between Africans and American blacks.

I sure hope so. We seem divided enough.

Why It's Hard to Be A Black Woman Today......

Blacks don't help each other

I can tell you first hand it is very hard to be a black woman in America today. As black women we are constantly degraded by our own kind and held back by our own kind. Ever hear the saying " Blacks Treat each other Like Crabs in a Barrel"? Well, you get my point.

Black people don't help each other like we should, especially in the South. I believe that blacks in the cities and up North are more open to helping each other get ahead. In the South, the handful of successful blacks fight tooth and nail to make sure another black does not get ahead. Why is this? I do not know?

Marriage

Also, it is very difficult for a black woman today to find marriage partners. Many black men are already married "or" are not worth a woman's time. Trust me. It seems like many young black men are so lazy and do not want to work. They would rather stand on the street corners "slangin" (God, I hate that term but they use it so often) dope and marijuanna. They want to be "cool". How on earth is it cool to be living "off" of your woman at 30 years of age with several offspring who don't even know you (and when grown they won't "care" to know you)? Is it everybody's fault that your momma gave it up too soon to a boy who didn't want to be a father?

If you look at the black female to male ratio its no wonder black women are not getting married. Its alarming especially in cities like Atlanta, GA where there are so many successful, single black women. Many black women have even resorted to what is known in the black community as "man sharing" where two "or more" women openly share a man. I'm like WTF. For real.

And then many black men when they get money run off with white women. The prison population is also majority black and then we have what is known as the "down low" phenomenom where black men have sex with other black men (I know - Yuck right) without anybody knowing. Is it any wonder The AIDS/HIV virus is so prevalent in our communities.

Employment

I have a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration/Finance and it is so hard for me to even find employment that pays me a living wage. White folks try and treat us "blacks" like it is a "priviledge" for us to work but a "right" for them to work. Like Malcolm X stated, they say go to school and get an education, but when you do they say you are "overqualified" for the job you applied for or that your skills do not fit. Even whites with just a high school diploma find work at 4 times the rate as blacks.

I hate the South but it is where I'm from and where my family is at. However, the job market in the South is awful. And why are so many black folks rushing to Atlanta like its the land of milk and honey, those racists there don't want to hire us either. I know, I went to school there and lived there for 8 years.

I hate the South.
