2 true. Its like miros feel they have special privilege because you’re in “the same boat” or from a common background. I love a black man but I love a well behaved black man even more…and I get so disappointed when people want a free pass because they’re kenyan or african or black. I sooo feel you on this…its a shame people can’t be professional just becoz you’re supposed to “understand”. Its bullshit..and you ain’t never lied.

I have to agree with all - that is really upsetting if not downright degrading to both parties. I work in a place where we have all sorts of workers, and I will tell you to the nth term, the amount of times that the African guys have hit on me is like unbelievable. I get guys coming over and asking me out for a drink, or a date - and I am their ‘employer’ -just because I am a woman, and the only black person in the room. I ignore them coz they are making a fool of themselves in front of my boss. I dont consider it sexual harrassment, just African, especially W.African guys feeling like they are all macho and stuff and wanting to chat the ‘african’ chick.

As for your case gal, I feel your outrage, I was even getting angry on your behalf - what a way to deal with things - I mean, you might not believe this but I ‘respect’ every black guy that doesnt feel the need to ‘chat’ me up when we have to deal with one thing or the other.

I go with Keguro, all the way (oh, not that way though, I have a feeling he would not )

The answer to your “have you ever..” question at the beginning is yes mutumia and every single time it happens I have to sit down hard and think of very bad things happenning to the man in question so as not to release my claws on his face. Because I am so sure what I was saying just got in one ear and out the other. Washindwe nyote!! pole sana

Si you tell him to stamd somewhere convenient, legs apart, and Milo will come deliver a swift well placed kick (a la Beckham) right on the unmentionables.

Apart from speaking like Barry Gibb’s and Aaron Neville’s singing voices thereafter, mjamaa hatarudia, hatarudia I tell you!!!

And more likely than not he assumed he was God’s gift to women…

The shenz-type!!

Mutumia darling come here for a hug!:D Please please do not essentialise!I know that with all the african men who you you have worked with not all of them have tried to tap that ass!But I do hear that it is more prevalant here and I am in no way justifying it!You have full justification to be a bitch and firm to him or if it gets any worse to report him.I on the other hand do not hit on or date workmates but that’s just me I’m progressive!

Aki Aco thanks for the hug… for real. Thanks– a lot. I know that not all Miro men do that lakini, I just got off reading an e-mail from the bugger pre-meeting and the contrast between his usual MO and when I met him just pissed me the fuck off. Aki Aco—- thanks again for the hug *smooches*

Send him my way.
I will stare at him with lust.
I am told African men become very uncomfortable when we queers approach.

Get a card with my name and phone number. Next time, say, I’m not available, but my very [insert flattering adjective] friend is.

“But, I’m not gay,” he sputters.

You coyly reply, “I couldn’t really tell. And I don’t like ambiguous looking men.”

Keguro, did I mention that I love you—- in a Christian, adoration from afar, I think you rock kind of way? Awwwwww… you are so the bomb!! I will drop my usual 12% to 11.8999% -seeing how the personal is interfering with the professional. Awwwwww. I am sooo using that line… I have it memorized - the ‘ambiguous’ was a nice touch…
