[quote=Anonymous]I'm an American-born black (a descendent). Twenty years ago when I was an undergrad, the Africans who I attended college with didn't acknowledge the existence of racism. I guess, we are now in a new decade of enlightenment? Headache from thudding into the glass ceiling and looking for excuses? I've observed that Africans when dealing with whites, in public, will verbally state that they are NOT black American. However, on paper they check off that AA box when they believe it will give them a leg up. So what that their surname or place of birth is clearly foreign. They're just playing the we're not "them" game, lol. It's really quite simple, white-racists deem Africans/Caribs easier to psychologically deal with than AAs/black Americans. They're perceived to lack any historical, American slave baggage. They are viewed as hard working, accommodating, and highly moral with family values. [/quote]
