Clearly I don't know the motives of these particular individuals....maybe they were looking for green cards. However it is my understanding that when a West African man sees a woman who is marriage material he will quickly ask for her hand in marriage. I know that a long courtship is not necessary in my culture so maybe this could be another cultural difference that you are misinterpreting.
That is why a lot of Black American women do not want to marry African men. It is not a very good idea to marry a guy you have known for such a short period of time. I had one who proposed to me after he helped me take my groceries to my car. He asked to meet my family. I never met this man prior to this.
Another occassion I simply became acquaintance with an African male, he became very clingy and controlling after a week, and warned all the other men to 'leave me alone' because he was going to marry me. It was embarassing.
I just don't think its a good idea to marry any foreigners, their motives are not always the best. Most just want a greencard.

Stereotyping a whole subset of men....I encourage black American women to come to their own conclusions by actually getting out there and dating. I believe they will be pleasantly surprised.
There are a lot of african men where I live so I'm speaking from experience. Their views on women and age are very outdated. Also being that a lot of them are foreigners, they want to marry you the first couple days of knowing you just to get a greencard. And then later you find out that they have a wife and children back in their village.

I like unique names if they have a real meaning.
But naming your kids incredibly common names like Jake and Conner is just a bit dull for me. Your child will be in a class with 5 other Jakes. Using the same classic names over and over gets old

African men have values that are very outdated and sexist.

Erykah Badu's "Window Seat" - A publicity stunt or what?
in Culture, Race & Economy

Total publicity stunt.
She almost had me until I noticed that she conviently had on panties that barely covered her ass, and she pranced around to let her ass cheeks shake before she finally took them off. Total publicity stunt. She was trying to sell sex. Everytime someone mentions the video its about how great her ass looked & never about the message she was trying to send
