Incompatibility of Relationship of continental African men
and women in North America: Intrigues trending and other Stories.
There is something called assimilation in politics
defined as ‘the process of adapting or adjusting to the culture of a group or
the state.’: Some Africans delude themselves when they do not
believe it that when they are educated in the West and mingle with Westerners
they eventually become assimilated and inadvertently or deliberately behave
like Westerners. This similarly applies
to those educated in the Western norms and languages and have never stepped out
of Africa. To see genuine Africans who have not been touched by outsiders and
influenced is very rare and far between. The only differences may be in the
level of their assimilation, thorough as in the former French, Spanish and Portuguese territories and less
thorough in the ex-British colonies in Africa. Many may still speak their
vernaculars, eat their traditional foodstuffs, wear their traditional garbs and
outfits but their behaviors are those of Westerners. This erosion of what others call negritude, Africanness is sad for some
social science scholars out to study pristine Africans in the wilderness as in
the mid-1800s. As for those who reside in the West, when they marry people from
Africa who have not been assimilated as they, so to say, they find them not
only peculiar but incompatible. In brief, the newly-arrived are not comfortable
as they would be with spouses brought and bred back in Mother Africa. In some
cases, this leads to friction and eventual separation or divorce of married
couples. The feelings by some are that they have married jerks.
