Absolutely Brilliant you're a very intelligent man Attai.<quoted text>
Sir,
i don't think so.
As much as i can list many achievements of Western Africans as i did in a previous post, it's very easy to list major contributions of Black Americans that go far beyond "sports and rapping".
Though you could have a look on Azonto in Ghanaian schools, on Ghanian competitions of rappers .... plenty of clips on Youtube. Rap is a bit like Jazz in the past century : a cultural phenomenon created by AAs that is spreading worldwide, though i do favor jazz much more myself but that's a question of individual taste.
I would not count MLK jr for a game, nor W.E.B. du Bois who settled in Ghana as you know in the end of his life ; i would not count as entertainers Richard Wright, James Balwin the immense Langston Hughes to name just a few luminaries of AA literature universally recognized. Their works still stand a long time after their death. Can we say that a painter too early deceased like Basquiat (a Haitian American) was nothing when his art is given major exhibitions in Europe today ?
Besides if we do not count Barack Obama, his wife Michelle is not a sportswoman or a rapper as you know well. After 1954/1964, there has been a growth in AAs with Ph.D. and all kind of grades in every field.
At least i know this success story of Reginald F. Lewis because i've visited twice the museum built through his foundation in Baltimore (MD):

His too short life is extremely interesting : he was an athlete, a brilliant scholar then a business man in law and in industry.
Black people have many talents on both sides of the Atlantic.

Aas are just as tribal as Africans. Obsession over light skin and white people. Maybe if y'all love yourself enough then you wouldn't be killing each other like animals. |

No, Africans are so tribal that they come to another area to live with another group of blacks and attack them for no reason. Even going to their forums with the motive to do nothing but spread hatred. |

I feel black africans should develop and progress separately from african americans. The ties between both groups are long gone. I feel black latinos and african americans will join forces(if african americans exist in the future they way they are being diluted). Black caribbeans will be between africans and AAs and africans will progress separatley on their own

For no reason, u r definitely living in a different world. What about the Innocent African kids that get attack and tease by aas for just being Africans. Y'all are everything but innocent, some of the most prejudice people I have met are aas. Don't u find it strange that Africans get along with whites, Asians and other blacks more so than aas. Most of y'all are so mess up in the head that y'all don't trust anyone else even your own people. |

Explain what you mean by progress? Why do you think we are going to progress separately? Maybe you're not quite aware of the significance of African people united. All of Liberian brothers up there in CT, you should reach out to them for some honest conversations.

Yeah, this is true too. I work with tons of africans. Unfortunately, their employers try to use them, and lock them down at these rinky dink jobs. My co-worker got his transfer to another department, but they kept trying to write him up for no reason at all for months! He got his transfer. Hes a very nice guy. |
