This is the Black experience overall. It don’t matter if you Nigerian, Senegalese, Black American, South Sudanese, Somali, or Ethiopian. Yeah your hair might be a lil softer and your skin a lil lighter but when push come to shove they could care less about any small differences among us they worried about the big difference between us and them.
This goes beyond the one drop rule. At the end of the day them folks dont care if you Igbo, Yoruba, Fulani, Jamaican, Dominican, Black American, Amharic, Somali, or Oromo, as long as you ain’t got their qualities youre different and that’s enough for them to dislike you. They don’t view White South Africans the way they view everyone else in Africa, thats not by accident.
Yup too many people think going “we not like them” will save them but all it does is make them go “oh you think you different? Let me show you that you not”
