Shit...... I think Africans actually work less than African Americans.  In Africa you have high unemployment, you have an extremely low cost of living, and even in a situation like Sierra Leone where they dig for diamonds, it is not a case of a factory worker digging 14 hours a day without breaks.  They dig some, and chill some, it's not like continuous work with a boss looking over your shoulder (in most cases).

Like in America most people have a house payment, a car payment, a cell-phone payment, maybe child-care or child-support payment, price of food, and so on you may have at the very least like 1,000 dollars you HAVE to make every month just to keep yourself going.   Whereas, in Africa your home is usually a family home that's been in the family for years, so you aren't making payments monthly; most people don't have cars, cell-phones are just by credit so you just pay to fill your phone with credit whenever you have the money and need to make a call, but you can still receive calls without any money so it's not a necessity.  Then there are plenty of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, grandparents, neighbors, and so on to watch the kids, the kids just run around free and people don't worry like here.   Then food prices are much lower and food is shared amongst family and neighbors.  

Also, in Africa most people have some kind of family business, or work for themselves in one way or another.  Many aren't making much, but it's more freedom and more leisure than in America where you have all these big corporations that have millions of employees and you have bosses and management and everything is structured and scrutinized; workers are pushed to meet deadlines.

africans dont like arican americans cuz they see us as failures and ignorant. plus during slavery all the slavemasters raped black women so all blacks have alot of white blood.and then we mixed with the native americans and married and had kids with them so afrian americans are ususally like 60 to 70 % african and the other 30-40% is native americansand white bloos.so thats why w eluk different then africans and alot of us come out light skinned like layzie bone and bizzy bone
