Do modern day Africans and African Americans really have anything in common?

definately...im an afrikan american but both my parents are afrikan and i moved 2 afrika recently...black people who have lived in afrika dont act or think the same way....but the afrikan americans and afrikans in my school all chill with eachother...its a different setting....personally i love being both but moving 2 afrika has really oppened up my mind and become a better person...if i was still in the states i wonder what kind of person i would be...but generally we are all the same...but when my friends go 2 the states afrikan amaricans joke about them being afrikan like we have no food or water which isnt cool coz no one here makes fun of their biga*s timbs...(dont get me wrong...i love timbs but u cant walk with those here)

The only thing common among African and African Americans is the skin colour(just about, depending on the shade of it ), everything else pales into insignificance. Africans generally admire African American Rap culture, but African Americans dont seem to like Africans very much from what I hear is going on in New York, and many distance themselves, and they dont seem to get along too well with African Caribbeans in New York either, from what I hear, but seem to accept their British Counterparts on the other side of the Atlantic! Weird.

Honestly, I don't think so. I am first generation Nigerian American and from what I've seen and from my own personal POV, I don't think they really have any connection. The culture is different, the work ethic differs, the values differ, the mannerisms differ, and I could go on. I find myself feeling a gap between Black Americans myself. I also still feel a gap between Africans and myself, but I get along with them better than the average Black American.

Mosses was a Jew as well and he could pass for black, he was raised as the son of the Egyptian king. You don't really believe that the Egyptians you see today are the ones of that time do you? Egypt was conquered by the Assyrians a long long time ago, the ancient Egyptians had to flee their home land as refugees and ended up in places like Ethiopia and Sudan.

Ahhh..we are now referred to as African Americans!

i've seen the nigeria adds uhhhh but not any advertising all of africa?And just because you think 100,000 dollars a year is a lot of money doesn't mean those that need and recieve outside help don't appreciate it.What do you do to help your less fortunate neighbors?

Everyone has at least one thing in common.

Yeah. They are human beings.

Well they are both have the same skin color.

yes, we are all human.
