All Africans love money too much and scam everyone

All Africans are evil and kill children and do voo-doo

All Africans cant speak English well

All Africans are under educated and living in Poverty

And MANY more!

I have to say, i get very irritate around people who say such rubbish! Let me just say, not all

people from African Countries use white girls, Yes there may be some but believe me not

ALL! There is many people from all over Africa who love someone for who there and thats it!

Just like every other race!

Also, let me just add, not all people in Africa love money and scam everyone.. that is rubbish!

i think people judge Africa based on one or two stories they hear on the news! Also, most

Africans cant speak English well?? What?? This is one of the stupidest ones i have heard, As

all of my friends in Africa, weather they are Kenyan, Ghanaian, Nigerian or South African,

Can speak AND write English very well, even some know English more than i do! lol

All Africans are under educated REALLY??? NO! Another huge judgmental LIE! The

smartest people i know on this earth, are from Africa! ALL of my friends from countries in

Africa are extremely smart and have GREAT potential.. Yes not everyone in some parts of

Africa can afford good education but that does not make them dumb or stupid!

All Africans kill children Again, Really?? i really believe this one is from watching too

much TV! People from African countries are not cruel and evil! Every country and continent

has good and Bad people. Dont judge Africa based on hear say!

And NO! Africa is not all slums! look around and see how beautiful Africa REALLY is. Take

your time to really explore countries in Africa to see how great they are.

I spend endless time trying to make my British friends see that there is soo many lovely and

amazing people around Africa. Almost all of my friends are from countries in Africa and its

been that way since childhood, also i have never dated any white or British guy, This is not

because i hate British people but it is simply because i feel more happy

and comfortable around my friends from Africa and also in relationships i feel that i am

more connected to people from different countries around Africa and have more things in

common and also they are very loving people. To say all countries and people in Africa are

great would be a lie. Yes, not all people in Africa are great and there are many countries in

Africa that have bad people just like every other continent in the world, but to judge people

from Africa before getting to know them is one of the biggest mistakes people make.

For me i honestly do not know where i would be today if i didnt have my friends in Africa

and in UK who have came from Nigeria and Ghana and Kenya etc. From a very very young

age, i have grew with them close to me, like my brothers and sisters, friends is an under

statement. they truly feel like family. Another thing i LOVE about people who have came

from countries in Africa, They are EXTREMELY friendly when u meet them. They greet you

in such a warm way and speak very politely to you. Also going to African markets/

restaurants in UK, is one great experience for me, because i get greeting nicely and treated

very well.

I have friends from all over Africa but mainly in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Gambia and south

Africa. So based on the people i have met from there, i can honestly say Africa has some

wonderful people! I can guarantee if you take the time to actually get to know people from

different countries in Africa before judging them, you will realize how wonderful they really

are, They will make you feel loved and appreciated in all you do. When i am having a bad

day at work or any other situation, It is my friends in Nigeria, Ghana etc i turn to as they are

always friendly, loving and supportive. They also keep me calm in hard situations! hehecountries in Africa are not full of scam artist and dying kids and people killing people! look

beyond the bad things and see the wonderful things! Like i said before, Every Continent has

good and bad.

Anyway, i feel like typing all day as i cant find the exact word to describe the people of Africa,

but i have work in the morning and i have to get to bed hehe

Thanks for taking the time to read this and i hope you have learned something and made u

think twice.

African cuisineFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ful Medames,one ofEgypt's national dishes, served with slicedeggs andvegetables.

African cuisineis a generalized term collectively referring to thecuisines ofAfrica.The continent ofAfrica is the second largest landmass on Earth, and is home to hundreds of different cultural andethnic groups. This diversity is also reflected in the many local culinary traditions in terms of choiceof ingredients, style of preparation andcooking techniques.

Traditionally, the various cuisines of Africa use a combination of locally availablefruits,cerealgrains andvegetables,as well asmilk andmeat products. In some parts of the continent, thetraditional diet features a preponderance of milk,curd andwhey products. In much ofTropical Africa,

however, cow's milk is rare and cannot be produced locally (owing to various diseases that affectlivestock). Depending on the region, there are also sometimes quite significant differences in theeating and drinking habits and proclivities throughout the continent's many populations:Central

Africa,East Africa,theHorn of Africa,North Africa,Southern Africa andWest Africa each have theirown distinctive dishes, preparation techniques, and consumptionmores.

Colorful Africa March 20 2011

Filed under:Uncategorizedfashionoriented @ 5:39 pm

I have always been interested in African way of clothing.

Apparently there is a difference of the clothing in different regions of Africa. For example, the

Northeast part of the continent is very influenced by the Middle Eastern culture, especially Egypt.

However, we dont have to forget that often their religion does not allow women to expose a lot oftheir bodies and to show nudity.

In the Norwest Africa is different. There the peoples are less influenced by foreigners and there is the

place where you can find more original and primary clothing. I always thought of African clothes as

fascinating because usually they are very colorful and at the same time keep you cold, because of the

warm climate in the continent. Their colorful gowns underline their diverse culture and are practical

as well as beautiful.

In Southern Africa the shirt is very popular. The Madiba shirt, seen in South Africa is made of silk,

again very smooth and appropriate material for the hot weather. The shirts remain colorful to harden

the African style of clothing. I Zimbabwe the Safari shirt is popular, which is also warn a lot in Latin

America and the Caribbean.

Culture and Traditions of Zulu People

The largestethnic groups ofSouth Africa,Zulu who are actually descended from the Nguni tribes live

in South African province KwaZulu-Natal. The word Zulu denotes The people of Heaven and their

population is approximately 11 million and some of their family members also live in some parts

of Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique. They speak Zulu languagewhich is the most widely spokenlanguage in South Africa and it is one of the official languages of the Republic of South Africa.

The Zulu people contributed an eminent part in the South African culture and history especially in the

19th and 20th century. During apartheid which was the governing system of South Africa between 1948

and 1994, the Zulus suffered from great racial discrimination and segregation. It was an era in South

Africa when minority rule of white people was dominating and all rights of the indigenous populations

were usurped. However they continued their struggles for their rights and after the election of Nelson

Mandela as president of post-apartheid South Africa in 1994, the reforms were made and Zulus are

identified today as the most numerous ethnic group in South Africa, and now have equal rights along with

all other citizens.Zulu religion includes belief in a creator god (Nkulunkulu), who is above interacting in day-to-day human

affairs. Although due to preaching by the Christian missionaries , the most Zulus have embraced

Christianity but still they have strong faith in ancestor spirits (AmatongoorAmadhlozi), who according to

them have the full control in their lives. Politically Zulus are officially ruled by the South African

government but their traditional way of obeying the commands of their leader is still carried on by

them. The traditional clothing of Zulus consists of tremendous varieties and they wear in festive
