Please don't think like a victim please. Do not come here and say white privilege. It is only rich privilege.OJ Simpson was black waaaaaaay black and he got away with murder of a white woman only becayse he had the money. I can understand that African-Americans are facing a lot of struggles but in America if you have money you can do whatever you want. There was even an African American cult leader Yoshua Yoshua who was convicted and only got eleven years when he have killed multiple people

Their attitude towards us is a result of the history they're not learning in school. As an African who grew up in America, I had the benefit of having my parents impart the nuances of our history and culture because my parents didn't trust that a European system would accurate teach our history...they were right.

In most American school, African history is condensed to a summary of which European countries colonized which area of Africa and the various conflicts Africa has faced in a post-colonial world. If pressed, the only African icon African-Americans can name is Nelson Mandela.

It also doesn't help that most Hollywood movies and news media have consistently portrayed Africa as a continent of misery. If you're not adaquately educated on the history of Africa and passingly comfortable with geopolitics, then you'll develop a complex against identifying as African in any capacity because society subconsciously conditioned you to associate Africa with incivility.

However, I give credit to the Nation of Islam and the works of Marcus Garvey for laying the foundation in America for Pan Africanism. Also, the Black Panther movie has revived interest in the Black Americans to embrace the homeland.

But we as Africans must do better to undo the damage done to our brothers in the West, because we have the knowledge of self that they need.
