I dont think that Independance Day is for Us. Just because America is free doesnt mean that we are. Physical slavery is not in effect but I think allot of us still have some Slave carryover mentalities to snuff out. I agree totally for a Black Person to break out the stars and stripes aint sweet at all.
My Imam (spiritual leader) has travelled abroad many times. He spent various months all over North Africa (Sudan, Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco). He's also spent allot time in France. One thing that he said is that Women love African Americam men. In France he said there is area where many Muslims chill at. So there are Muslims from all over the globe there. You can tell where someone is from by looking at them. You know who a African is. You know a European they are white. You know who a Moroccan or a Tunisian is, they look mixed. When people see African American's we are mixed with like 3 different things. This intrigues foreigners. Basically, foreign women like brothas.
I say this myself when I made Hajj. Whenever we (Me and some other African American brothas )walked past some Asain sisters they were looking at us like we were stars or something. I felt like I could just have my pick of any of them. It was ill. I told my Imam about this, he said Japanese women love black dudes.
Why am I saying all this. Just look how white people and foreigners in America try to treat us. They try to treat us like crap. Its just Ironic that abroad a brotha can get some love.
If I stepped anywhere lese I would mellow out to The United Arab Emirates (UAE). Its a nice developed spot.
I would also look into Malaysia, Singapore or Indonesia. Maybe I'll run into some of those Asain women that was halking us at Hajj.
Morocco is sweet too. I've been invited to go to Sudan. When I made hajj many people thought I was from Sudan or South Africa. I would love to checkk all these spots out. Maybe later on in life I might move.
