I was borned and raised in Eritrea. In the past
two years I have been living in America. The two
places I have lived in are Washington, D.C and Buffalo, N.Y. Tommorow I
will be leaving this country. I was really
disturbed by the way some of our Eritrean brothers living in America have
been acting. Many reject their culture, while other's can be labeled as
oppurtunists. They don't appreciate the oppurtunity they have been given
and they don't want to help out thier people. Although I have met many
wonderful habashas in the US, especially here in Buffalo, I still am
distressed by the arrogance of some of these suckas. One time in
particular, I asked for directions to a local club and the man I was
asking who is Eritrean would only help me out if I dropped him off.
Needless to say, I rejected his ludicrus offer. I don't got time for these
likkle youths who think they're the 10th member of the Wu-tang clan.
Do not get me wrong I love my brothers and sisters. But they need
to start making moves with thier people in mind not only themselves. I
have enjoyed my stay here. This is a small list of my shout outs.
