Why do African American think that they are better than Africans?
539034
Think about America as a whole. Americans think that our country is the best , therefore, AmericaNS "are the best." \n\nALso a strange part of our culture is that we call all blacks African Americans even though they could be from other places like the Carribbean or Haiti. \n\nA lot of Americans are ignnorant. You just have to brush it off.

I am African-American and I deeply resent being compared to homosexuals.  Homosexuality is a behavior.  I understand that homosexuals are treated unfairly in many circumstances, but I don't think that their struggle is quite the same as that of African-Americans.  African-Americans were stolen from their homeland, stripped of entire cultures and languages, and forced to till someone else's land.  No one stole homosexuals from homosexual land. African-Americans have been discriminated against based on the color of their skin,something which we have no control over.  Homosexuals do not have any physical features such as skin or eye color that identifies them as homosexual;if they choose to, they can hide their homosexuality.  Obviously African-Americans cannot hide their skin color.  I wish that homosexuals would take some of these thoughts into consideration before making these comparisons.  Homosexuality is NOT the same as being Black.

I think Black people are underappreciated and under-respected. Overgeneralized and misunderstood.  Each and every Black person is different from the next, so if anyone really wants to know about Black people, just learn in a respectful way.

I have no idea why they're so uptight. They feel that if they suffered in the past they have the right to be the country's little princesses. I've been to Europe and I swear black people aren't so uptight there. So the source for all this must be the frustration of african americans of having been enslaved by the white man in the past. Ok, we're all sorry. It's not going to happen ever again so you can all start behaving like everybody else now. Stop being so touchy.

I am Asian and i believe that black women are alot better then their white counterparts.  White women have this superiority complex about them.  They think they are better then everyone.  Black women are more down to earth and are really sweet.  White women are on the bottom of my list to date.  This is my honest opinion.

Two reasons:  \n1.  Blacks are generally racist against anyone that isn't black\n2.  Blacks are particularly jealous of Asians since for the most part they are successful in America despite being a non-white minority.  Blacks wonder why they can't achieve this success.

Africans are as multivaried as anyone from any other part of the world.  How about short and tall, skinny and fat, dark and light skinned, old and young, kind and mean, loud and quiet, insightful and blind, loving and hating, rich and poor, intelligent and ignorant, and so on.  They're human.

My grandparents came to this country. I don't associate myself with my old country. I don't dress up like a viking and change my name to Thor or some nonsense I made up that sounds Norwiegan. I'm American. Maybe if I had an axe to grind it'd be different. \nWhat most black people fail to realize is that their African ancestors were rounded up and sold to white slave traders BY OTHER AFRICANS!! My ancestors were in Norway at the time, but somehow it gets to be my fault!\nMany blacks are still slaves but they are slaves to their own anger and ignorance.

I never call myself African American. These so-called blacks call themselfs that because they have no idea who they are. They call themself African because there fathers came from there, American because they born here.\n\nBy putting us into one group the enemy is now able to make such statements as "AFRICANS SOLD OTHER AFRICANS INTO SLAVERY". no such thing, Black skin people were sold by other nations who just happen to have black skin, we were also sold by nations of people with white skin, Yellow skin, brown skin,  red skin and so on.\n\nWhen you call yourself black what does that mean? What is a black? Black does not constitute a nationality or culture. It is something that was created to keep you ignorant of your true Identity. Every man on earth is describe by his nation (Nationality), Chinese are people from China, Irish are people from Ireland, Polish are people from Poland, Mexicans are People from Mexico, Blacks are people from where?\n\nAfrica is not a unified Group, Race, Nation or Nationality. What the Ashanti Tribe on the West Coast of Africa believe is not the same thing the Zulu's believe in South Africa, the same thing the people in Libya believe is not the same thing the People in the Sudan believe. \n\nAfrica never has been one unified group with the same belief's and thoughts, they differ from group to group just like the rest of mankind do. Not all people on the Asian continent believe the same, not all people in Europe believe the same, so why do you expect the people on the continent of Africa to be the same? IT'S THAT WAY FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF DECEPTION.In Order to deny the truth, they created a lie. They took one indigenous tribe in Africa who still had traditional or what they call primitive culture and said this is how ALL black skin people are.  They all wear plates in the lips, swing from trees, don't have a written language ect. When many think of the African image they will think, nude men and women, running around doing nothing.

First we are not an inferior race... What makes you feel we are inferior? Maybe you watch to much T.V. There is bad in every race. Give me one race that does not have its negative side? Relax.. Black people are not out to get you.

people think they are better than I am because of my skin color.

THEY PROBABLY HAVEN'T SEEN ENOUGH OF THAT SPECIFIC RACE TO IDENTIFY ANY DIFFERENCE. ALSO, IT COULD JUST BE OUT OF PURE IGNORANCE AND THEY JUST AUTOMATICALLY THINK THAT THEY LOOK A CERTAIN WAY BASED OFF OF STEREOTYPES.\n\nEXAMPLE- THEY THINK ALL BLACKS HAVE WIDE NOSES....NOT TRUE\n                     THEY THINK ALL BLACKS ONLY HAVE BLACK HAIR... NOT TRUE\n                     THEY THINK BLACKS ONLY HAVE BROWN EYES... NOT TRUE\n                      THEY THINK ALL BLACKS HAVE BIG LIPS... NOT TRUE EITHER\n I THINK YOU GET THE POINT. ALSO HOW CAN WE LOOK ALIKE WHEN WE HAVE SO MANY DIFFENT SHADES OF SKIN COLOR.\nWHO KNOWS WHAT THEY REALLY SEE WHEN THEY LOOK AT US

As a proud Black American (yes I said BLACK American NOT AFRICAN American).....We are not Africans. We are Americans and even the Africans will tell you that.  For millions of us our blood is way too diluted to consider ourselves to be solely African. To answer your question, I could really care less about what blacks in other countries and other cultures think of and say about us.  We have been through hell and back for the past 500 years. Our People (the generational Black Americans) have struggled and thrived in the United States for Hundreds of years.  Over the years race mixing has occured between our African Ancestors and Europeans and our African Ancestors and Native Americans.  Most Authentic Black Americans are of diluted blood and aren't pure African at all.  Our features, culture and heritage has evolved into something different than that of our African Ancestors to make us who we are as an ethnic group today.  We have our own rich history, culture, and heritage.  Many of us Black Americans don't even realize how rich our heritage is.  We don't need the approval of Africans or Carribeans or any other blacks to feel good about ourselves and confident in who we are.  We may have our problems, but what ethnic group doesn't?

I think it means that Blacks need to stop blaming other people, generally whites, for not doing better. Blacks today have more opportunities than at any other time in history except, perhaps, immediately following the Civil War, yet instead of taking advantage of these opportunities, they insist that they are unable to because "Whitey is still holding them down." That's a victim's outlook, not powerful people who are able to determine the course of their lives. They need to seize that power and run with it and achieve whatever it is they want to achieve.

Yes, it makes me angry, because as much as they deny that they are being black, they are.  I think it is because they think the black race is inferior to their own.  You are who you are, not by your skin color, but how you act to the public.

This is an confusing issue, indeed. Just because a person is from Africa does not mean that they are African American. The term African-American is specifically for blacks born in America who are from black African decent (the Negroid race). The term is not used for Caucasian or Mongoloid people from African nor for blacks who were born in Africa.

Some peoples are borow-minded or tink like peoples in 15-17 century who divised the world by races... Sometime people don't find emselfes qualities so they try to persuade everyone their race is the best for keep confience in oneself. The are certainly scared that people could find them ''weak'' or stuff so they say: ''Ah! I'm white/black so I'm the best'', non-sense argument.
