[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who's the clueless person who has an African as a friend.  Then to emphasize that the person is darker.  That statement has us at a happy hour laughing our asses off.[/quote]

Clueless person here -- what's so funny?

She has a french accent too that sets her apart -- do you find that hilarious as well?[/quote]

What the self-proclaimed drunks laughing their asses off at happy hour missed is that here is someone with even darker skin than you, who by virtue of growing up abroad is even less integrated than you, and with a foreign accent to boot (meaning, a potentially far bigger target to racists and xenophobe discriminators than you) who is NOT experiencing or seeing the supposed racism and exclusion that you keep harping on.  I likewise have friends from Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire and other countries Africa who came here who say the same.[/quote]

Different poster, but I think you are lying. I doubt very seriously that you have black friends from any country with this attitude. Nope, you are pulling shit out of your ass on an anonymous board. Considering that I have experienced significant time in different countries on the continent of Africa, I know that even in those countries there is racism, colorism, and classism.

Nobody is saying that racism, colorism, or classism don't exist.  Yes, they exist.  But, today it only exists in isolated pockets here and there, as opposed to being the open, overt, wholescale institutional thing of years ago that's still being constantly referred to.  And the point is that many people coming here from other countries see that, as compared to the racism, colorism, and classism of their own country and other countries.  They have a fresh perspective, whereas those who are still stuck in the ideas and ideologies of decades ago do not.[/quote]
