Do Africans and African Americans get along??

[christiangirl]

Now see, I've taken cabs in CA, NV, GA, and LA. And it wasn't until my visit to ATL that I got the rudeness. But, that's the only time I've taken a cab by myself...an unarmed young woman with nobody to stick up for her, I'm sure he probably felt like he could be rude and get away with it. So is it just that all cab drivers are rude or that it's only drivers in certain areas and are you alone and female?

There are so many mitigating circumstances that go along with prejudices. Like how a lot of Southern blacks (in certain areas) hole an "all white people are out to get us" mentality, but as a Californian, I've dealt with a miniscule amount of racism in my life. But is it just in my area b/c where I live is completely different from say, Oakland, LA, Sacramento, Diego, etc. So can you say my experience is along the lines of the majority of white people or are my southern friends'? Can my friend who went to Kenya say she's right, or can those who've heard more negative things? Because of the diversity in African cultures (and US cultures, and cab driver cultures) it's absolutely impossible to have just one label.
