Nigerian breaks academic record at John Hopkins University ? The Punch - Nigeria's Most Widely Read Newspaper
"I went to Fondren Middle School, which was in the middle of the ghetto. That was one of the darkest years for me because I encountered a lot of peer pressure. Some of the students, ignorant about Africa, bullied me and called me names such as ‘African booty scratcher’ because to them, Africans were dirty and scratched their butts all the time.
Some asked me if I lived in mud huts and ate faeces for breakfast. I remember one day, when I was walking to the school bus, a boy came from behind and punched me in the face, called me an African and walked away. It took everything in me not to retaliate. I knew that God had put me in the U.S for a purpose and it did not involve fighting or selling drugs or doing the wrong things"
“The shocker was that the kid that punched me in the face was black. I would have expected the blacks to be nicer to me. Nevertheless, I don’t blame those kids because they were ignorant about Africa. All they knew about us was the stuff they had watched on TV or documentaries, showing primitive African tribes, living in the jungle and making noises like monkeys.
“In regards to the whites, there might have been some minor episodes but again I don’t blame them for it because it is a problem with stereotypes,” he said.
May have been some MINOR episodes. MAY have been some minor episodes from the white kids. May have. So slight he cannot recall them. But he can recall how great his African American brothers treated him. Check out the demographics for that school. 55% Black, 41% Hispanic, and 1.5% White. The worst year of his life, according to him, was the time he spent in the ghettoo surrounded by poet and his african american peers way to go poet way to go.
