I dont think blacks who hate being black is an exclusively american thing at all. Its rampant in countries with communities who have a minor or major amount of european or semite blood like black brazilians, black sudanese, black dominicans, cape verdeans, ... For a large part its due to the stigma they have on them in their societies for being slave descendants. They be doing everything they can to cling on that little 10 or 20% white blood they have. In the USA this is prevented by the one drop rule which is not existing there.

I agree. There are a lot of brainwashed people in the diaspora. Canada doesn't have a history of slavery so it's a more healthy environment to grow up in for blacks.

The light-skin dark-skin thing for example was completely foreign to me growing up and still weirds me out to this day. I'm not saying there aren't color struck or self hating blacks but it's definitely not the norm and not common at all where I come from.

no one can question my blackness....my parents are 100% Ghanians. I just happen to be born in Brooklyn.

Most AA's are somwhat mixed with some races. I'M 100% PURE as they come.

I can trace my family history to my great great great great great great (yes 6 greats :jawalrus:) grandfather....Nothing mixed there :shaq2:

You know what? So am I? But I don't crap on my woman.

The environment and the media plays a significant role on how the noir views himself/herself.

In the U.S., negative images are constantly aired and folks are conditioned to view with disdain and contempt when in reality, total opposite. It's a insecure projection from Anglo Saxons who make up the majority. However, certain noirs eat this up and spread the ignorance like a viral infection. These are called "agents".

In Canada, it's basically "neutral" because the environment is more tolerant and cross-cultural. Though, Alberta symbolizes red-neck U.S.

In a majority of Asian countries, it's the same view as the states because Anglo Saxon supremacy is global.

In certain European countries, there's a lot of emphasis on ethnicity/nationality. However, race is not disclosed but it's very subtle. The U.S. is very overt and aggressive with violence.

In conclusion, these views of self-hatred weren't natural but were fed by those of fear and jealousy. There's no need to fear or hate being "negro"/"negra"/noir/black, etc. How you view yourself makes a big difference.
