all4naija: Get civilized? And this is why i don't your people! stop trying to claim us and than turn around and spew the White man's bullcrap. You have no concept of our history whatsoever. So don't claim we are this and that, when we aren't your people PERIOD. The only education my people need is the basic education plus 10 times extra that many receive in schools. Thats what they need, they need to learn about their history and their culture PERIOD! And yes Whites are the major problem! Its 2 fold. The Elites are the major problem, these people are White. Than you have the common Whites who will do whatever the elite tells them. Therefor these people are an issue too. Learn something before spewing your bullcrap. all4naija: Don't post to me bullcrap because Christopher Columbus and his excerpts along with his son Ferdinand and cortez described the indigenous and they weren't any red man. Red man is a myth. What they saw were negroid like people black skin wooly hair flat nose, and they also seen mongols and they also seen Australoid types. America was mixed from the beginning. it was never one phenotype and it was never from 1 location. It is obvious that the bulk of them in south and central america and Mexico are mixed. The bulk of the blacks here are indigenous period! We can see that through out the Americas. Whats even revealing is when you travel to Veracruz, there are people that will tell you that they didn't come on any slave ship. The same for the Caribs. There are some people that will tell you that they didn't come on any slave ships. all4naija: Again don't peddle to me white washed history PERIOD! Because I know better. Those people are mixed breeds. And aren't the original. It is no surprise that these people share cultural habits with people in the Pacific and Africa. Its called cultural diffusion. There were no homogenous native groups here. all4naija: You never appropriate someones culture PEIROD! NEVER! You don't go around wearing their cultural dress etc. Unless excepted by those people. If you go around playing dress up and not giving people their due, its called Thievery, This is the same thing whites have done to others. Stole and than tried to make it seem it was their culture. this is wrong! You're a fcking idiot! If it wasn't fro Afrocentricism most people would still believe that africans were savages! Nothing racist about afrocentrics these people have good intentions to restore Africa's past. This is why i say its a waste of time, because clowns like you don;t appreciate these people, and many of them have spent their lives focused on a foreign land. all4naija: There is a difference slowpoke, from saying there are some good white people vs saying white people are GOOD. These people aren't good. You don't want to look back to colonialism because either you're an id9t or it didn't happen on mass scale like they claim PERIOD! People who have came in contact with whites, would instantly know not to trust these people. Everyone knows this except blacks in Africa and some blacks here. You people don't get it! Your countries/communities have never prospered trusting whites. And they sure in the heck don't see you the same way. Their thought process isn't about embracing you. And black american culture has nothing to do with Africa period. This is our culture created in America PERIOD. WE had influence from african peoples, but this is as far as you're going to get. all4naija: wow you even call your own culture barbaric? who the heck taught you this? nothing barbaric about the wonderful cultures in africa. the problem is whites and their disease to destroy and label people primitive when they're the primitive one. but hey I can't convince you of anything about your own. I see the truth perfectly you just don't have any sense, at all, you were given a brain learn history and connect it to the world that you are living in today. all4naija:You're an id=ot and you have shown this time after time. No wonder Africans can't get a heads up. Its because of people like YOU! If you were smart you would pass your history down to your children so you would never forget. This is why African countries are having such a hard time. People like the chinese come in and you believe these people mean you well. You never learn from your past at all. And even at this present day you have excepted the American government coming into your countries. You will never know anything about black american history.and i'm stunned because i don't think you even know your own. all4naija: You're an idiot. Blacks are aboriginals because they were the first one on every continent period! all4naija: Oh I don't care if you disagree with my views, you are free to believe think however you want, because this isn't my job to prove to you regarding my peoples history. You're an outsider you can't dictate or tell people who they are. Fear? I have no fear, this is a product of your imagination. Well you're the primitive because you choose to embrace white folks. There is nothing modern about them including their structures. They have all their people dependent on them period. This isn't natural. |
Re: Do African Americans Have A Culture? by mags5222: 6:42pm On Sep 11, 2014 |
khiaa: No they don't. Most of them don't know about the Gulla wars. The history that is given to many black children is that they were brought here as slaves than the White man freed them. That is false history. And black parents need to teach their children the truth, That not all blacks came on the slave ship, and that not all black people were slaves. And that black people both aboriginal and african freed other black people from slavery. |
Re: Do African Americans Have A Culture? by mags5222: 6:48pm On Sep 11, 2014 |
all4naija: No we are on two different views buddy. You're such a fcking idiot its hilarious! Whites didn't just come in and pick up slaves in Africa. Muslims had to help them. Because they couldn't permeate inland they had to stay on the coast. Whites had help from Muslims to conquer and destroy Africa. The blacks in Africa were fighting against this. African slavery is propaganda for the fact that there wasn't as many Africans taken on a slave ship as they claim. PERIOD. No they weren't weak victims they fought in Africa and when some here made it to the Americas they fought here. They hooked up with aboriginal black people to fight against the white colonialist. In fighting is what destroyed blacks in Africa. |
Re: Do African Americans Have A Culture? by mags5222: 6:50pm On Sep 11, 2014 |
all4naija: They will not be addressed as Nigerian American etc.. Because their is no classification for different african ethnic groups, therefor they have to mark African American on anything they fill out. which is stupid. |

mags5222: If after hundreds years African Americans are still crying of whites as problem then there must be something wrong with them somewhere. The Asians in American are doing better climbing the leader of progress in the education fields while most blacks would want to engage themselves in gangster life and blame whites for their suffering. That is not going to help matter. Look at those in the hem of affairs in major tech industries, most are whites and many are Asians who are even more of minority than African Americans. The typical black man would want to party all day long and expect to be fed by the government. What kind of nonsense is that? The blacks reproduce more than they can take care of, refuse to go to school but want to be hip-hop artistes,etc. Not until they are able to find solution to many things like those which are holding back their community there is no way they are going to move forward. The institution you find whites where built by them. So black should fight to do the same before human finally is able to assimilate properly into a single race that we really are. It is sad you couldn't prove how white people are the major problem preventing blacks from progressing. The Asians could have said the same thing if they relent in acquiring knowledge, etc. I hope you don't expect white people to live Americas for the blacks else it is going to turn into banana republics within several months. mags5222: The Christopher Columbus description is clear they aren't whites but look like the West Indices people and obviously find out to be Tainos. If you denied that fact of history it means you aren't using recorded information to support your argument. The natives have always been mongoloid not negroid before the first discovery expedition of Columbus arrives at the now known Island of Bahamas. Your definition of the people in your post is mongoloid only that you are trying to make black be part of the people by including the Aborigine. There are differences between Aborigines and native Tainos. The bulk of the black people you are referring to today as natives are either mixed with the native Tainos ,etc or are progeny of the past slave trade. Most present day African American didn't come on slave ships but their forefathers are. mags5222: Mixed breed my effing bottom! I am telling you about the original native to the Bahamas are Tainos, the first Island the Columbus ships landed. He recognizes them because he has seen images of people who look like them in Asia. You are making that up. I am not going to be a part of your plan to cook up false information and try to take away what belong to Tainos. mags5222: Who said that is not possible? Culture evolves and that is the reason why we all in one way or the other applying different people culture to our lives. You seem to be chasing after shadows in this very discussion. There is nothing thievery about that when in this present generation. It is more or less like expanding it. We seen Arab culture in many countries around the, there is European culture in virtually everywhere on earth,etc. That is the reason the world has become a global village you refused to accept. It is time for you to move back to that forest village and practice your culture to yourself. It is racist and has contributed nothing to humanity. Restoring the past can only backdate most of the development for African people. So it is a mere idea to have sense of belong that is meaningless in the modern world. A world that is inching close to a single idea for all. Mr. culture advocate! mags5222: In fact without the same white people you would still have been in slavery by now. The past American civil war is a testament to the fact that not all whites support slavery. Labeling all white people to be systematically bad is racism. You aren't making sense. Colonization is way of governing people in the past, it has the bad and good sides. Africa is not the only continent that's colonized, in fact all continent are excepting for the polar regions. If you think Asians were not colonized yet progressing today you are wrong. It is time to move forward. Get organized and live a civilized life. Is that too much to ask? You are trying to be assertive in this your paragraph without any direction though. It is absolutely palpable African American culture is a precedent of African culture. How can a people originate from African without having knowledge of some of the culture? That is not possible. even if it is there is always a genetic harmonization that would not take away some of the traits. The hip-hop, being good in Athletic sports, etc are as the result of Africa due to traits of origin. mags5222: Oh, yeah! When people refuse to make changes to aging culture it becomes primitive in a modern world. Most of the barbarism in African culture are seen every day and are not helping to move the people forward. Yes, it is barbaric to practice savagery in modern day sense. I cannot embrace Juju in its dirtiness as way to live. If you are be my guest and move with it to your forest village. I will encroach there one day to let you know how modernity is better and superior. You that have a sense is using internet and all modern cultural activities yet saying I have no sense at all. What a hypocrisy of the highest order indeed! Learning about history doesn't take away being a modern human being. You have play down on this culture thing and history without having good sense of what you are talking about. mags5222: I am not an i d i o t ! Africa becomes relevant when people like me stand to move forward by making changes to those archaic practices which aren't helping the people to develop. Only to see that at the end those things subject them to primitive life and make them look like animals in the forest in the 21st century. Go to forest villages in Africa to have good definition of African culture and how it has blinded the people to modernization, developed society and organized life. I don't need to even learn from the past to know that war is bad, slavery is inhumane, etc. History has always been there even those who pretend to learn from it still commit evil. We have seen how WW I paved the way for WW II. History is not the solution but the ability to device a means to stop hate and live together as human race does. In fact referencing history bad past can create animosity in people or even lead to war as in the case of WW II. Stop being petulant! mags5222: Blacks are not Aborigine but Aborigines are negroid. Nigerians are blacks but are not Aborigines,etc. That is the classification by phynotypes. Indeed, black people comes from Africa. mags5222: You don't need to care because denial is even worse than ignorance. If you are taking the path of denial that is your decision not mine. The outsider's idea only applies to nomenclature regarding where you belong else I have a black paternity. That lays credence to why I am in a position to talk on this matter. You keep making things up, in the fact that you cannot see nobody is dictating for your people is appalling all rather ridiculous about your points. I don't really understand you last lines. |
Re: Do African Americans Have A Culture? by Nobody: 8:08pm On Sep 11, 2014 |
mags5222:They will be addressed as Nigerian Americans. Google is a useful tool to search information on a matter like this if you have no other way of verifying that. You are going about race matter but this is about minority classification. You aren't smart as you claim to be. They will mark Others when it involves minority but as for race they will mark African/African American! |

all4naija: OMFG this is why we don't respect you. You have no back bone whatsoever. Asians are called honorary whites. What don't you get? Blacks aren't willing to assimilate and adopt white ideology, we have to many white wannabes already. You don't know shid about blacks and you don't know what we have to go through. Can I say the same thing about many african countries? Many blacks there can't seem to get it together, is it because something is wrong with them? or is this a left over residue of colonialism? You're a fcking idi*t. I bet your arse would even deny that the US government is the one that over threw the Libyan Government, did you know that they are still doing this to many African countries and other places? You're a fcking disgrace to your ancestors. Just take your arse to Europe and become European because you're to stupid to even Align with the great people like Yoruba or igbo. Just please stop your st*pidity. all4naija:You're a g*d damn id8t it is well known! Fluoride in the water poison in the food blocking blacks from upward mobility. Blocking and trapping us in the inner cities, targeting us through their experiments and whole sale media warfare. Please don't speak on shid that concerns blacks all around the world PERIOD. I find your diatribe truly pathetic strap a fcking wig on and some contacts and name yourself an anglo saxon. all4naija:What in the heck do west indices people look like? These same people that they lied that they killed off can be found in the Islands today. The natives weren't all and haven't always be mongoloid you freaking id0t Its like i'm talking to a slowpoke that can only spew the white man's bullcrap. The truth is the Americas were populated by different people PERIOD! Even some good white scientist has even have to admit that Mongols weren't the first ones. It was of a people that resemble modern day africans melenesians and Australians. all4naija: You flipping id9t there are blacks who have wooly haired and epicantic eyes. These people ARE black period! They are cousins to those left in Africa. It isn't about making them anything THEY ARE BLACK period! No the bulk of the black people today are indigenous period! They were here before Columbus. You can't fix your mouth to tell me about anything concerning here, when you don't even know shid about african history. all4naija: This is a lie again. Once again the myth about India is bullcrap and anyone with a brain would know this. The Moors had already been here to the Americas. The moors are the ones that showed Columbus where to go. He didn't just accidentally land in India. Thats another Pochontas made up story. The Tainos were a mix of groups of people. There wasan't one look for aboriginals. all4naija:You fcking white man's id9t. the white Arabs and thieves and freaking beast! Just like the White Europeans. They came into African countries and raided and killed them and wrote them out of history. Matter of fact it was the arab beast who attributed to blacks = slaves. When the shid is far from the truth. Stealing peoples music dances etc. And claiming that your people created is thievery period! all4naija:You're a fcking slowpoke and the intelligent blacks that have seen your moronic behavior will see this. You want blacks to become like Europeans this is why your ideology is so fcking dangerous and your ideology has lead to outside powers like Nato setting boots in aFRICA. all4naija: That is a fcking lie! Blacks freed other blacks from slavery. It wasn't white folks that did it id8t! Just like blacks in africa and the pacific freed themseveles from colonialism. all4naija:Wow colonialism was a way to govern people? Wow you're fcked up in the head truly. all4naija:Black American culture is American culture PERIOD! What did you create that has anything semblance to black american culture? Our people are warriors YOU are weak! We aren't the same, and we don't descend from the same blood line. It is well knwon that black americans are the best athletes and the shit don't have nothing to do with the people left on the continent, no disrespect but you can't and Won't claim my people as your own. Because we're not. all4naija:You're full of shid! Most of the backward practices were taught to the Africans By europeans! The war in the Congo where many soldiers cut off the breast and arms of people. This same thing was done when Leapold the 2nd was over the congo. Wow you're a fcking id8t. You can take your modern and shove it! all4naija: You're a fcking d9mb slave that has brought into the white mans bullcrap. Everything you spew is the same crap parroted by whites. PERIOD. all4naija:No you're devastating the people in the continent you're not helping them! If its up to you they will colonize the continent all over again! all4naija:Preach that we are the Human race to whites and not black people!Because guess what? They don't see you as human! They still portray blacks as monkeys. So don't peddle your baseless ideology to me. all4naija:You're to st*pid. I said blacks were Aboriginal not Aborigine. Blacks are aboriginal to ALL continents period. all4naija: hAHA! The s*pid m*ron that doesn't know they're history has the nerve to call someone ignorant? You're not in any position to speak because you parrot the same bullcrap as whites, which mean you are mind controlled. You have brought into their lies and bullcrap about modern society when it hasn't helped the bulk of them as they are totally dependent on their gOV and the socalled 3rd world. |
