ENTERTAINMENT AND DISCUSSION : YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS PLEASE!

AS THE ONLY BLACK GIRL DURING ALMOST ALL MY SCHOOL YEARS IN FRANCE I CAN RELATED TO THIS SITUATIONS WHEN WHITE PEOPLE ASK YOU VERY STUPID, STRANGE AND FOR SOME RACIST QUESTIONS.
THE FACT THAT NOTHING HAS CHANGE SINCE I AM AN ADULT NOW MAKE ME THINK HOW CAN WE EDUCATE SOMEONE AND BE SURE THAT IT HAS AN EFFECT ON THE "STUDENT".
BECAUSE DESPITE THE FACT THAT I LIVE IN FRANCE MORE THAN 30 YEARS I STILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS KIND OF PREJUDICE.
BUT LONG TIME AGO I PREFER TO LAUGH AT IT. THAT'S WHY I LOVE THESE VIDEOS AND IT IS INTERESSING THAT EVERY CULTURE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS WHEN WE INTERACT WITH WHITE PEOPLE.

I WANT YOU TO TELL ME THE 10 MOST STUPID QUESTIONS OR STATEMENTS YOU HEAR FROM WHITE PEOPLE OR ANOTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT BLACK.

BECAUSE I DECIDED LONG TIME AGO TO FORGET THEM AND TO LAUGH AT IT. I WILL TRY TO REMEMBER SOME.

1- YOU HAVE DEFINITIVELY A WHITE ANCESTRY ? ( MY RELAXED HAIR were long past my shoulders; I try to argue that it was because of the traitements that i was doing nothing convinced my co worker.)

2- PLEASE I REALLY LIKE THIS SONG, CAN YOU TRANSLATE WHAT IS ABOUT ? ( When they hear an african song or african people speaking any native language, we supposed to speak every african dialect))

3- EXCUSE ME BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND, YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT COLOUR.( One of my sport teacher who was angry and disapointed that i was so bad in athletism and sports in general)

4- DID YOU EAT PEOPLE IN YOUR COUNTRY ?( Cannibalism has to be the norm in Africa since TARZAN 'S MOVIE)

5- HOW YOUR HAIR CAN GROW SO FAST ? ( i was wearing braids with extentions)

6- CAN YOU READ AND WRITE ? ( If you speak and write your own language it doesn't count, you are an illiterate)

7- YOU ARE MARRIED? DID YOUR PARENTS FORCED YOU? ( Apparently it can't be by love)

8- HAVE YOU BEEN MUTILATED SEXUALLY ?

9- HAVE SUFFER OF HUNGER IN YOUR COUNTRY?

10- ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T HAVE CHILDREN ? ( When i was working at Disneyland Paris, despite the fact that i told them that i don't have children, they kept sending me invitations for the christmas party reserved for employees with children and all sort of vouchers; Because AT 24 black women have already at least 2 children.)

DID SOME OF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE THAT KIND OF SITUATION ? IT WILL BE INTERESSING TO POST THEM BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE TO READ ABOUT YOURS.

YOU CAN NOW ENJOY THESE ONES. THIS IS VERY FUNNY FOR ME MAYBE BECAUSE LONG TIME AGO I DECIDED THAT IT WILL NEVER AFFECT ME. E.N.J.O.Y !

    2. Wow!

      C'est très drôle. I can't say the rest in French so please excuse me -

      The average Affrican speaks at least two languages - their Lingua Francea (thanks to colonialism) and their native tongue. It is just now that we are beginning to lose our native languages that you may find Africans that speak just one Langusage.

      We must use our languages in evrything and evryday life;

  2. I laughed but it really is not funny. I get asked the dumbest questions by my white colleagues. I take them all in my stride but boy! I could write a book on the rubbish I hear.

    I was reading a blog today and there was a post about how a survey revealed that a great number of foreigners thought that Africa was a country, not a continent. Sigh!

    1. I work in a school one day we were reading a poem of a Jamaican author where he was talking about going to Timbuktu and the kids asked her " Miss where is Timbuktu ?" And she replied "He made that up it is an imaginery place." I corrected her by saying " No it is real, it's a city in Mali a country in West Africa". She was very surprised because she was familiar with the word but all this time she was thinking that is was not a real place;

  3. Well I can totally relate. I'm from North Dakota, USA. I was one of 4 black students at my high school where one of the other students was my older brother. Something cute that was once said to me by a very young child was "do you taste like chocolate?". I was also once licked on the hand in a gas station by a 4 year old who told her mother "I wanted to find out if she tasted like candy". I did have someone ask me once "I knew this black girl once, and are you two related?".
