Today's paper reports that the Africans who are here with the hopes of finding a job are treated unfairly by the locals here. All boil down to the skin colour. But can't blame the majority of locals who do that. They are not used to having people of a different skin colour, especially Africans, in their hometown. Thus develop this fear and wary - after all the talk and reports of the Nigerian scam- and not so much of being a racist.
When i used to live at my parents' i came across an African family who lived a couple of blocks away. I found the kids cute, with their tight curls and buck teeth. Their mum was an all-African woman - big. The shopkeepers around acknowledged their presence in the neigbourhood. Greeted them, played with their kids, like they did with other local kids.
Anyway, i need a new blog skin.
