Why are you so mean to Africans, calling us names and treat us poorly?
In recent times, many Africans, especially younger Africans in the Diaspora, have been more vocal about their experiences of discrimination and antagonistic behaviors from African Americans. They recall experiences of being teased, alienated, and called names such as ‘Blackie’ and ‘African Booty Scratcher’ by African Americans.
Many Africans do not know that some African Americans have been taught to instinctively deny “Blackness” through social engineering/conditioning behaviors such as the Field vs. House Negros, the brown paper bag test, among others. A lot of the hate that some African Americans dish to Africans is self-hate and has little to do with Africans. Moreover, many Africans come to American with an air of arrogance, believing that they are better than African Americans based on what they have seen in movies and TV. This too fuels antagonist behavior towards Africans.
Lastly, the way the media portrays African to Americans leaves a lot to be desired, leaving many with very skewed and negative perceptions of Africans as well.
