Racial Differences

i never thought to myself that there was a difference in me until I landed in Germany soem two years back. I hd to fight common stares from people. Maybe it was because I lived in a village and most of them never saw a black woman( beautiful too). After a while i stopped walkng down the street because I could not take the stares no more. i could speak German at that time but the people were more fascinated with my skin colour thatwhat I had to say....
Little by little I got back the confidence of facing up to people...Now nothing shakes me upp no more.
Is there anyone out there that has had a similar experience...Speak up

Racists are mere idiots......!!!

I was in England for a short course that lasted 3 weeks and what 3 weeks they were!
Englishmen, the most self acclaimed humble people in the world, being more fascinated by my skin colour than even the fact that I could speak their mother-tongue better than some of their own kinsmen? God, I was amazed!!
A kid was even bolder than his parents. He walked close to me, examined me, from my African attire to my toes as if I was a kind of specimen. He went further to touch my skin and then looking at his finger as if to find a smear of TAR!! He even asked .."Mr, is your skin always like this?"
What else can one say? I believe that their kind were brought up to think that everyone in this world should have the same skin colour!!
Otherwise what can one say? If you are intelligent, it should ordinarily occur to you that since there are so many colours in a rain bow, their certainly should be a reason why some people's skin colour would look white and others black. Afterall, its bright when it is morning and afternoon and dark when it is night!
Discrimination of whatever kind is bad, but to think that you dislike someone because of their skin colour is to me, awesome. Only idiots reason like that.
So long as they cannot change day from being bright and night from being dark, the idiots will continue to fool themselves that light skin is superior to dark skin, but they will always hope for summer to arrive in winter so that they can go for SUN TAN!! See what I mean?

Post- Apartheid South Africa

Hi!
As a black woman in post-apartheid South Africa, i still feel that our country, although it has come this far, still holds some racial sentiments. Yes, racism is not as prominent as it was 11+ years ago, but it's still... should i say underlying? i am South African but i have only been living here for 2 years. I wasn't born here, but my parents were. Coming from an African country, Lesotho, which is right in the middle of South Africa, stepping across the border is a whole new board game. Really.at home i went to a school , where colour and race meant nothing, really, but when i came to this country, i felt as if i was being put into a box. I was expected to be the "typical" South African girl,and i'm just wierd if i don't act like the "typical"i have often been told i speak English too well to be South African (English can be said to be a main language here).My freinds and i often get stared at, walking on campus, because i'm black, one of my friends is white and the other is Indian. Not such a common colour combination on campus i mean,if you don't conform to the sterotype that has been placed on you, you are looked at in quite a funny way.No one will say anything necessarily, but actions speak louder than words, and it's not paranoia.Somehow, i feel as if racism will never go away, unless everyone goes blind. Colour is a noticable thing and i think people should learn to look behind that and recognise that we are all one race. the human race! and for Maureen Owino who is in Germany, ich sprechen eine bischen deutsch and people often wonder, "hmmmm, a black South African speking German? "
