I would have continued to mind my business but that I discovered that people who have everything going for them believe they can treat others who are not so lucky as they want.

I am speaking concerning the tales of how all Africans are scammers.

While i do not dispute the fact that there are quite a number of Africans out there involved in scam, there are a lot more who are just honest, hardworking people who are trying to have a life.

One thing i want to say though is that it is easy to stereotype others when you think you yourself are not suspect.

To even believe that all Africans are scammers is the most myopic thinking in the world.It is like believing all Mideasterners are suicide bombers, all Jamaicans as drug addicts and criminals,all europeans are homosexuals and Newyorkers are thieves, drug addicts, murders and rapists. Is this a fact? to a large extent there is a lot of crime in the world but it is NEVER 100%.

You have to make up your mind to know for yourself what is true, what is false and what is negative hype.

I know too many Africans who would not touch a dime that does not belong to them despite their own personal poverty. I can be quoted!

For those lazy, greedy and jobless lay-abouts who think it is good business to scam others out of money or ANYTHING at all I ask them to have a rethink for one day they will have to answer to someone for their greed. You are not the only ones enduring a hard time or poverty in the third world but not all are getting by, by making others unhappy!

So, everyone, keep your minds open and be sure that no one reads any wrong meaning into the genuiness of your intentions at any point in time. That's my personal secret of success.
