European Man Claims All Americans Aren't Americans Because He Doesn't Know What Nationality Means
Same thing I've heard from Black Africans when you have citizenship in their countries

I've heard this from Black Africans often, I've written about how Ghanaians bullied a child who made a video about her being a Ghanaian. They made so many racist comments that others came to defend her.
Sadly there are several thousand Lebanese in Ghana, the internet census claimed that there were some 30,000 Lebanese in Ghana. However when you live in Ghana it seems as if there are more than that. They own restaurants, bars, shopping malls and a lot of hotels.
In 2014 a Lebanese man took Ghana to the olympics and recently a white child won a medal for Ghana riding a unicycle. However when a video surfaced of his father speaking in Ghanaians language, it got some very hateful comments. Once again because of his skin color he wasn't supposed to speak "their" language.
For some time now I've noticed that living in other countries mostly in Africa, Black Africans seem to think that nationality means skin color or race. This includes the fact that many think Africa only belongs to Black people, those who are on the continent and have been for decades don't count if they're not darker in skin color.
Those variations of shades from East Africa, Southern Africa and places like Seychelles, Cabo Verde, they don't matter. Because skin color and race is just as big as an issue for Black Africans as it is for Europeans, Americans, Asians and others.
However it gets little to know highlighting, Black Africans love passing themselves off as the most loving and accepting people on earth, followed by the British.
This British man's rant reminds me of the fact that many British people don't seem to think Indians, Africans and Asians can be British.
I have no idea why this man said this and when I tried to ask him what he thought nationality meant he refused to respond. He just kept spewing insults and hatred. He really didn't seem to understand that being born in the United States of America make a person an American as in nationality.
Several Nigerians in a recent rant about Davido, also started to claim that Africans aren't Americans. That even though Davido was an American born and raised that he's not an American because his parents are from Nigeria. This is something that is insame and if they US stopped birthright citizenship many Africans would cry racism.
Even though many African countries don't have birthright citizenship. There are about 30 countries in the world that have birthright citizenship, which means if you're born within the borders of that country that you are actually have citizenship and all rights afforded to citizens.
Again, many Africans are claiming to not me Americans, but the the nationality of their parents or grandparents. This make me so annoyed that I actually the United States should end birthright citizenship. I think it would stop so many people from rushing to the borders and those who don't want to be considered Americans to no longer have the rights that all citizens have.
Some people may find this cruel but if you are protesting that you're not American than you don't deserve any of the rights that being a citizen of the US affords you. Not cruel but it makes more sense than being one of the only 30 countries that offers this right.
Why don't people know what nationality means? Why do they think that nationality is tied to skin color, this is common all around the world. But I have never heard that Americans aren't real Americans before. Interesting how the British think and they call Americans stupid.

Ghana & The Culture of Bullying Part 2 - 'Obolo' A Woman Shared Her Story & Ghanaians Bullied Her More Like Her Own Husband
Wednesday, 24 April 2024 By: TB Obwoge Many Ghanaians don't love themselves and will never love others, this same bullying is seen in the xenophobia in Ghana. Tribalism is accepted as if this hatred is normal in the country, this is much like Nigeria.

I am not alone.
Billu Bhai’s Realization Category: Human Interest / Life Lessons His real name was Bilal, but everyone in the village called him Billu Bhai. He was the eldest child in a large family, with parents, siblings, and relatives all living together. Growing up, Bilal had been quite weak, both physically and mentally. His childhood was marked by illness, which affected his ability to concentrate in school. Learning was a constant struggle, and he barely managed to complete his education up to the tenth grade. Now, at twenty-five, Bilal was hardworking, reliable, and always willing to help others. His father had given him a rickshaw, which became his source of daily income.

It’s a shame when discrimination happens. I think the mentality is “I was here first, and anyone who got here after me can go,” but most of the people that think this don’t realize that the native Americans were here first, so if anyone should go it’s everyone except the native Americans. That being said, if we think we’re entitled to be here, then EVERYONE is entitled to be here, regardless of ethnicity. Hopefully hate and bigotry will end soon! 🤓
