I Thought Kenya was Part of Africa

Call an apple an apple and an orange an orange. What a stupid world.
Negroes: The race from sub-Saharan Africa.
African: People from all over Africa.
Kenyan: Somebody from Kenya only.
What's wrong being called a negro or African or whatever? Or white man? Words just helping to describe things accurately.

I came across the same attitudes with Americans referring to all East Asians as "Orientals" grouping together Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Taiwanese when they each have their own prejuducial attitudes about each other and never think of themselves as a cohesive group sharing cultural traits. So there's nothing new about the complaint she is making about her strong preference to be referred to as Kenyan rather than African. On the other hand we as white Americans / foreigners also are referred to as Gaijin ( outsiders / possible enemies ), Gwailo ( foreign devil )and Ko jangey ( long nose ) by East Asians. Africans and the cultures which flourish in Africa differ in many ways so grouping individual residents of most of the countries of Africa would be the same as this Mbaluka Mutinda, preferring to be identified with their country or even smaller tribal group witin each country.

What he is saying is Africa is a continent made up of distinct countries with their own culture. Therefore they do not want to be grouped into one stereotypical bucket. Much as someone from Italy, Greece, Ireland, France, etc. would more closely identify with being Italian, Greek, Irish or French rather than European. Like someone from Canada, Mexico, Jamaica or the Bahamas would self identify as Canadian, Mexican, Jamaican, Bahamian before Northern American. What's wrong with that?

I was actually surprised by the verbal eloquence of our Kenian person. It is obvious that the ariistocracy in that country can afford better education. It must be terrible to remain important in the face of your impending demise. All went well untill that Kenian person ran out of woords to end his letter in a proper manner. He had to revert back to insult. But I guess that is what the so-called kenian aristocrats do when words fail them. Just a pity you could not take the meager few dollars you spend there with you.
Africa is for Africans. Initialy, all these africans could do was sing and dance. Now they can insult too. We all realise that it stems from inferiority.

So , the person has a problem because she/he does not want to be lumped together with the rest of the people on the continent of Africa?
I always try to remember that all people think differently then me. It could be pride, it could be ego, if could be love of country that makes this person want to be attached to Kenya.
Judge if you want to be judged. I'll just let the person state that they are Kenyan and not African. No big deal to me how they want to be classified - as if that would make any difference at all in my life.
As for myself, I am just a person, who does not need a classification to feel OK.

This Kenyan has a doomsday emotional status, there is no way to stop people from applying labels, espcially when they are accurate. Labeling people is normal, to try to tell people to stop being normal is his or her malady of thought.

I can and will write anything I think, and I will never stop, this is the essence of freedom and free will, and for sure he or she can write and I will again and again make fun of them, as they have the right to make fun of me if they can.

There are no "white" people, as this is construct! If any are 'white" people, then is the chinese and japanese and some asians. This is not "PC", but basic facts is that there are causasians, and "white" and "black" are just colors. Most caucasians just show how insensitive they are to other people and cultures. If not, why not call caucasoid americans as "Appalachians" or, Europe just called "Eurasia", but that would be screwing with most self-descriptions of their "racial" tribes...-)

Thanks to the people on THIS site...i can say that many due to "comments"and "spelling ", have basically shown their own inferority to even their own language and "race!-)

Andy,
Please remove my email from you website, you posted it without my
consent and I am receiving unwanted emails from your readers. I'm
really disappointed in you but I can't say that I'm surprised. You
take pictures of natives without their permission, you publish private
emails of your readers without their permission and you disrespect the
cultures and the people that you visit. I apologize if my first email
came across a bit aggressive, I wrote it in anger and retaliation
because I felt like you went out of your way to insult my nation.

Peace and love

Answer:
People need to think about this permission thing, when you open your mouth you give permission to the other person.

Every Black Man is an African. If u wanna be a white, then u can go for plastic surgery, I'm an African and a Ghanaian and i love it soo much.
Peace!!!

O ' Really Mr Mbaluka Muntinda..................

Your right to speak and made heard but it is NOT OK but no reply ?

Gimme ,gimme, gimme ,is all we hear..yes you will inherite the earth only because
most people are good and only have babies they can afford to raise without help from the goverment.

help from family was the norm and still is for many americans........

help from the goverment for NEW Americans is the new norm, so welcome Mr. Mbalulka
you will love it here.

Now just steal and cheat your way here by cheating your fellow Africans anyway you can. Claim you were tortured or even better claim you were a child soldier. How about that you were a slave ? Not politicaly correct but the only slaves today are in Africa.
Doesn't matter how you get here. It is how you make it worse for others so maybe oneday most can see through your tempid brew.

Reading this out, I feel people all around the globe are highly confused and have become status conscious! I think everyone should respect each other's cultures and of course, there's too. There is no harm in being matched to someone or anyone at all, is there? What difference would it make even if you are compared, you would remain whatever you are and known to the world for that... simple!

no person has any choice to be black or white. peoples should be recognized by their thoughts and gestures and not by their color or features.
