Is anyone here from an African Country? - Page 3

oufff finally a brave soul created a thread for us!

hey guys I am from the Ivory coast and I am so please to meet you all. I would love to know if some Ivorians applied because it would really suck to know I am the only one in this entire country lol.
@dick your picture is kind of racist but at the same time really funny. I dont think I ever laughed so hard at that word before. Don't get me wrong, I know u mean well.
anyways it is nice to meet everyone and good luck to us all.

Isn't there a certain time though when the subject becomes touchy? This happened to me before the end of high school. Having cousins my age who did have green cards and me not having one and all the talk about college and jobs It was hard not to be a lil jealous, dare I say even bitter.

Please elaborate.

Not really. When you're from an ethic group where a good portion is here illegally, it doesn't matter hell everyone assumed you're here illegally

Im mexican and i think it happens too in our community, maybe it was all in my head or maybe it was legit but i fealt some of my cousins who are americans thought they were better than me, or atleast thought diffrent of me just because i was undocumented

Uganda here

Off topic

I took a global politics class this past semester where we discussed Africa and it's contemporary global issues thoroughly for quite a portion of the semester. Because of that, I made it my personal mission to memorize every country in the continent, its capital and geographical location on a map and their flags. Just seeing all of you mention your countries of origin all that flashes through my mind as soon as I see a country mentioned is something along the lines of:


Country: Uganda, Capital: Kampala, Borders: South Sudan, The D.R.C., Tanzania, Rwanda, and Lake Victoria Flag: ..Some bird with a fro

Basically, information thats nice to know but really wont take you anywhere.

Anyway, it's nice to see a considerable amount of Africans in the forum.

Its 8:40 AM, im usually a night person and this is probably the first time im up at this hour in a while...therefore I wish to share this with you all because this is what this thread reminded me of.

Pretty sweet, I should memorize all the countries too, make some good convo
