I am an African American. I would like to know how are other African Americans treated in SA. I know apartheid ended over 15 years ago. But how is the racial tension there? I hear there is a lot a tension from Blacks against whites. But does this really affect your day to day life. I've been looking at the tension with youth league group and the white supremacy that got killed. Is there a possible civil war building. I'm not trying to leave American to step into an all out race war. Don't get me wrong I do understand racism exists everywhere.
I have a friend that's an African American that visits cape town, port of Elizabeth and Joburg every 3 months for about a month at a time. He tells me its not bad. That he loves it there. He is from Detroit as well. He says there is crime but if I can make in Detroit I will be just fine in SA.
Also I would like to know how are African American received by Black SA. I don't plan on coming to SA to be the Ugly American.(rude, loud, arrogant, obnoxious and a know it all.)I coming to embrace the SA culture and help empower the SA people by helping where there is a need or a want for my assistance.
