Its crazy how much talent is in Africa that we never hear about over here in the Black community. We have to do better building a bridge.

Not to get a race argument going, but blacks in America have more in common with a white guy from Alabama than an actual African.

It's just true.

The term African-American is probably one of the most misused terms in the American lexicon.

There's very, very, very, very few genuine African-Americans in the United States.

Reason I mention it is because you're right, blacks don't hear about Africans. There's a very real cultural divide. The reason being is precisely what I said.

And that goes for pretty much all of the hyphenated Americans.

I would disagree. The bond between me and my Eritrean, Kenyan, and Toganian friends is something I would never have with a white person. There is an ancient connection we just don't have with whites that we do with Africans. Our music and culinary habits reflect this also.
