"I am so happy right at this moment, because something triggered in me to put to thought what i have
been seeing since i was conscious of the fact that i was born into a multicultural family. The divide between the black and the white has tormented to some extent my life and still sometimes does and many mixed raced kids. Mixed raced not just from the perspective of white and black but even from the same skin colored but different ethnic groups.
A white friend of mine said he is oblivious of the African culture. I did understand it from a positive perspective, he may never have had the chance to come live and study us. As a Nigerian i know and have seen that many white people adopt our life and love our meals. Does any party now owe either side to be like the other just to play politics? I have my best friend who is white yet she is Nija like inside. She loves everything about the African and even dances so, and i have my black women who behave white and all i demand is that they be true to what ever culture they like to be and not rub it on any party by force to be so.
I keep saying one thing, there is nothing like raceisim its culturisim, different mentality ie to me meaning mode of communication and methods of implementation. If as a true black man you respect the white man because he is a person then you have succeeded at being a human being. If as a white person you respect a black man for his swag and values then you also have succeeded in being human. Yes as a mixed person i would agree that the white man has been bright about his future, but the African isnt stupid either, we just have different values. Going by what we see today happening in the world the constant ego tripping on both side's is tearing everything apart. Inferiority complex on both sides.
Sad to say but the white man presumptions and ignorance of us and our stupidity to will development and rise to the occasion to project self worth has created a wall. I am mixed and have seen the various attitudes of both cultures both good and bad and it is all inaptitude on both sides. We both have our talents and abilities but we are unwilling to blend with each other to make something greater and rise above animalistic attitude's. I am able to be with both cultures but not when they are in the same room. And until both cultures decide to see in each other and build a common fence, we will keep thriving in common nonsense. No body likes the truth, no one owes one to say the truth but it has to be said, "If you are full of shit as a person or a nation it doesn't matter what skin colour you are and when we are living in a world that needs a common fence so we all have peace and prosperity, allowing attitudes to rule only makes both sides fools. No culture or person is an island we might as well start building a bridge above the common nonsense of rules."
