The difference is how both groups get their money, right?

Well it is obvious based on the article

I feel it was inevitable, the wealthy from both groups are socially different

lol. two mud huts. keep up the false views about Africa my dear, we will continue to develop and get richer. I just bought a $350,000 beach house villa near a gorgeous lake back home. sure some of my neighbours are poor and we are putting money together to upgrade the school (we are not going to provide welfare for them, no our poor are not loosers like aas, the actually prefer getting a job to receiving handouts). in the meantime, your clowning rich people are not able to keep up and Africans will keep getting richer. you can keep talking of mud huts and deceiving your self. mugu!

lol, i still shake my head at the outdated perceptions that aas have of Africa. when we soon start buying your US debt like China, you will then wake up. but for now, we dont want you to realize that the rich and middle class in Africa have zipped past you. We dont need your ignorance. And here are some of the mud houses that you wish you had. Ignorance is a disease you know, it kills...

sweet ignorant idi amin, that is the way we want it, stay away with your lack of respect and ignorance. the life expectancy is not 52, i have all my grandparents and older generation alive and well into their nineties (they all remember the second world war). we will quietly build and you will continue to be surprised and left behind. remember how at first it was aas have more money, now your richest are lagging (more than 10 times behind). in the same way keep on believing the lies about mud huts when africans are buying propery more valuable than your US shacks (and using local mortgage companies owned by africans and listed on local stock exchanges. stay away, we are doing splendidly without you. we will continue to travel and be more respected, you stay in your hellhole and think Africa is rather the hellhole. lol

I never thought that all africans lived in mud huts, in fact, I never really thought about. Now, I have heard jokes, but I just never thought how they lived. I know many in nigeria have wealth, but thats a stereotype that some AA's have of them as well. I know other africans have negative things to say about nigerians, is it jealousy?

dear brownman, i am not nigerian but i admire them. they are very entrepreneurial and can turn a dollar into $100 through sheer determination to succeed, often not using honest means. that ambition to improve one's fortune is unfortanately called 'white washed' in some aa communities (I still dont understand it. i studied in the US, came here with top grades and top exam scores and worked for 10 years . i decided to go back home, i got a job in a bank that pays more than my US job, i am able to take out a local mortgage, buy a car (bmw 4x4), pay for 2 servants and save money to take vacations every year. i have been to china, europe, australia and next year I will go to India. I am also saving for the olympics and world cup in Brazil! I live with so many Africans who fit that profile and we sit and remember our school days in the US and we all had aas tell us that we live in mud huts and are spear chuckers. these are aas who dont have passports and when we come back to the US on holiday, they are right where we left them, or even in worse situations. Life in africa has its drawbacks but it is such a peaceful and fun life. respectful children who love educaationa nd want to be successful, good food, loely women who are feminine and focus on being good wives and mothers. are there bad nuts, sure in every society. i vacationed in south africa 4 years ago, all that talk about men raping babies, there were about 6 of them. but going by the media you think the whole country was doing it. i visited the small country of botswana, I have not been so impressed in my life. Travel my dear, and dont ask stupid questions like do people in china like black people before you go. do your research, behave ina respectful manner and you will enjoy life! good night, after anight of clubbing I need my sleep. good luck to all! hope you get to enjoy life and live a stressfree and hate free life like i am enjoying now. In Africa!!

I shall take up voodoo and contract AIDS to be closer to my African brothers. Africa where everyone eats everyday and no one ever gets sick. The place where everyone lives forever and is healthy.

You have to understand that many have lived in a colonized nation, and america is all they know. Its not just AA's, or the ones you encountered, who have this perception of africa, trust me. Africans have perceptions of AA's too, and non of us should be judged as a whole. Now, I did see how the chinese treated nigerians their, and I did not like it. Their are places who do not like black people. Its not about the whole country doing anything, its about the statistics, and if its happening at a huge rate, to the point safety is questioned. Africans and AA's need to clean their stuff up, and not all of us, but a few.

Interesting article, the differences are already known without this article but I am glad it mentioned that there are many wealthy Africans that exist besides the ones they mentioned

One difference is in Africa you keep more of your money, taxes are very low and life is very easy. Most AA will never experience
what Africa is about, and that's really sad, they are really missing out!!

Daily Horoscope for June 19

Capricorn

You're feeling slightly unconventional and you're looking for activities that will reflect your mood. You certainly won't be very keen on doing things that are drearily predictable or boring, although you'll grit your teeth and get on with them if you have no choice. But ideally you should do things on the spur of the moment, preferably in the company of people who make you feel alive and alert.
