how a black from Africa could get into college, but not a black from LA? When I was in college, we had a foriegn exchange student from Tanzania join up with the CRs. The guy despised American blacks. He said in Africa, they valued family, taking responsibility for your actions, and self-reliance. He was offended that they were calling themselves African Americans.

And they o this in Africa. I can't believe he had the gaul to say that in Africa they are so righteous. Look at Africa.

Oh, and they both spoke with a "BBC" accent, and had a very hard time understanding SoCal blacks.
