I hate you

I hate your cockiness

I hate your fucking superiority complex

I hate how you’re such a damn brat

I hate your spaced out, ugly ass gapped teeth

I hate your fucking wavy hair

I hate your damn bronze skin

I hate your motherfucking intelligence

I especially hate your hairy ass arms

Don’t even get me started at how I hate your fucking stupid ass long name

I hate how you’re so fucking rude to me, but literally cry if I so much as tell you to “shutup”

I hate how you’re smart and dumb at the same damn time

But most of motherfucking all?

I hate how I love all those things about you.

Screw you, my African Boy. Screw you…

His name is Kelvin Doe. Long story short, this amazing boy from Sierra Leone is a self-taught engineering whiz! At the age of 13, he created batteries and generators using materials he picked up around his house or from trash bins. Keep in mind, he is from a country that it not fortunate enough to have every day things that some of you may be used to (i.e. electricity), so for him to be able to teach himself engineering skills is major.

Doe, a completely self-taught engineer, manages his own fully-staffed community radio station in Sierra Leone where he broadcasts news and plays music under the moniker ‘DJ Focus.’ The radio station is powered by a generator created from a deteriorating voltage stabilizer, which he found in the trash, while a simple antenna lets his neighborhood listen in. 

Oh, yeah, and he’s just 15 (some say 16) years young.

You can’t deny that he’s lovely.

If you do, you’re a liar.

I think he is so beautiful

I have Nigerian-American friends (Black Africans).

The reason I love them is because they appreciate and love their roots and where they come from. It amazes me seeing a culture different than the American one I live.

What I hate? How they put Black Americans beneath them.

They (my Nigerian friends, solely) claim Black Americans as Akatas .An Akata, as explained to me, is basically an uncultured Black person not born in Africa.

They say Black Americans are too Americanized. They hold no morals, they’re thugs, and gangsters. They don’t have a “home-language”; all they know is English and the occasional Spanish and French.

It’s not a Black Americans fault that they were born in America, where English is predominant. Just as it’s not a Black Africans fault that they were born in Africa where a particular dialect is predominant.

 People are all ready divided as races (unfortunately), why must we divide as cultures also?

To me, Black Americans aren’t uncultured, they just hold a different culture than Black Africans. I don’t know why, but people think that just because you’re Black, you must belong to Africa, or because you’re White, you must belong to Europe, or because you have Mestizo blood, you must belong to Latin America.

That makes no sense. The case should be: I’m human, I belong to the world.

I’ve never understood the whole Black African versus Black American thing because one is not better nor worse than the other. Yes, they are both different and unique, but to be classified upon whose culture is better or worse, doesn’t work well with me.

Gorgeous…

Such a beautiful child
