Africans tend to be more educated and cultured than Afro-Americans. They operate well in a global community and are generally more happy and accepting. They are not raised with the tradtional prejudice and racism that is handed down from generation to generation by many Afro-American families. Africans do not believe the world owes them a living, just because they were born. Africans are not angry at life.

You are closeminded and you generalize. It's not the Africans or the African Americans. It's you.

My Aunt once told me that any fool can judge, but it takes a wise man to understand. Imagine your brother coming to your house subduing you placing you in chains and selling you and your family like you were cattle. Imagine your buyer shipping you in a cramped hull of a ship with other people being taken on a long journey to a foreign land that you are not familiar with. Then you are taken off the ship stripped of your clothes and paraded around like cattle and sold. Let's continue. How would you feel if you were beaten within an inch of you life of using your native tongue to communicate?
It is amazing how people are quick to judge people because they don't live up to their expectation. You meet one African and the comparisons begin. They never had to endure the hardships of African Americans at the hands of white slave owners. How do you erase over 250 years of psychological damage to the African American people because of slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, desegregation, racism, and racial profiling?
Well Brian it takes white politicians to stop using blacks as pawns. It takes law enforcement stop labeling blacks as criminals. It takes white society to stop that blacks are given an unfair advantage because of Affirmative Action.
It takes better schools in the inner cities.

american blacks tend to have attitudes that tend to be offensive to a lot of people, not so much with other black people (Africans, Jamaicans, etc...)
