Are You Racist?


Throughout my stay here I have faced some strange behaviors one of them is Racism.. Because of the slight colour differences some people think they are better than others..

Doesn’t that sound familiar to some of you? Yes America land of the slav**, I mean land of the free.. But the difference between here and America is:
"America is between whites and blacks, here it’s between blacks and blacks". Very stupid isn’t it.. (For example, northern and southern people, I think it’s the effect of the British invasion in the old days).


"He is darker than me so he is under me.."

Black, brown, light brown, chocolate, caramel, Oreo or what ever, there is no difference..

Northern people think they are better than the southern because they are light coloured or related to Arabs which I find nonsense; Southern people are as good as the northern and better.

"Because he/she is too dark and looks very African he/she must be dangerous. Stay away from him/her and don’t be in contact with him/her may be he/she has a disease."

Or

"Don’t you get scared of these people?.."

“these people” !!! How could I be scared of them.. they are me and I’m them,we’re all Africans...

These are some of the stupid remarks I hear.

I am proud of being black..I am proud of being African..

I’m a black African Muslim who speaks Arabic but I’m not an arab.. my colour doesn’t represent me I represent me. My words, my acts, me, myself and I.. This is who I am.


------- Love Africa, Love my people
