You and all other romantic nuts should be beheaded. Welcome to 2009 and the reality of realism.

We are not romantics, but optimists.

^no joke, if you asked me a week ago if i had these sentiments of american nationalism i would say hell no, but now im just thankful i can go back, i have a request to make they need to add the american flag to the smiles god bless the red white and blue


surrender abayoo africa is hell, the africans dont want to be here but if you do come prepare your heart the most and your nose second, you'll be up some nights, i just hope i don't become desensitzed like the people here to the missery and suffering of others cuz its still a shock for me to see the people on the streets while my cuzins just walk normally and continue the conversation like normal

What do You Guys expect When You go to Africa

Africa s not hell,, indeed somewhere called Xaarthopia is hell on earth
go to countrys like Gambia, Zambia, Gabon Angola, you would'nt be disappointed.

the boy is 18, came to america when he was 2 of course he is American. "Motherland" is a subjective thing, you are your environment. So you who grew up in Africa might view Africa as your motherland but certainly not a person who did not. You might think so but it is what you realize when you get there and Perfect is realizing what I realized which is I am an American first.

Like my boy K'naan said "TIA" meaning this is Africa. You should have expected all t hese things and worse. The Jig-Jiga you are complaining about its looks is actually one of the better cities in the entire Somali populated regions including Somaliland, Puntland and South. You can't have the US mentality and go to Africa. Africa is a cursed continent with cursed people. Look how Allaah showered reserves of oil to our next door Arab neighbors and we have nothing.
