KINGwax: it's typical, the black race are natural-born-blame-shifters!!! U jes need to blame someone for ur mismanagements!
The whites tot u all u need to knw, there lies no point in blaming them. Where in all ur studies were u tot d whites are superior?
Our former leaders were tot by whites, sent on scholarship abroad, did they come back to tell u their classes were different from their white counterpart? Were they tot a diff thing from the others in class?
Yet, from all indication, it appears that those who were being tot by whites appear a little smarter.
Our past leaders had grt visions for ds country. Visions dt wld av plcaed us in the right way. Policies not diff from wot was learnt abroad, until u lots come wit ur blackish mentality and corrupted evrytn.
Our past leaders fought the whitish domonation, u lots embrace it. u dropped ur culture for theirs, wanted to talk like them and all dt. Sometin our grt leaders fought against. Yet, they were trained by the colonial masters and u, forfeiting everytin to ur 'tryin to be superior' mentality, destroyed africa.
With the little knwldge in education. Policies in line wit culture wld av made us greater. Jes like our leaders did.
Pls, stop ds propaganda and strife to uphold ur culture. Stand on ur own and biliv in wot african tradition does.
Fightin the whites, blaming them, is in itself an act of cowardice. Hence, a brother to inferiority!!!!

The last time I checked japanese,chinese and koreans don't look black to me.every black man on earth has been condemned simply because of their skin color including obama.

Babzilla:
BUT THEY HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO RACIAL ABUSE AND THE SAME TREATMENT AS BLACKS. THE DIFFERENCE IS THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE THEORY THAT THEY WERE INFERIOR.

Kay-Dee:


Thomas Edison's teacher told him he was too stupid to learn anything, that didn't put him down.

Albert Einstein was dumb for a long time in his early years and rejected by schools, that didnt make him feel inferior.

Unfortunately, terrible things happen and people often find themselves in bad situations, how we react to it is what matters. Yes, the white men went ahead of blacks to invent modern technology, is that supposed to make us go and hang ?

If you've gone outside Nigeria for once,you will know racial segragtion still exists against blacks.We all saw what obama passed through before becoming president of the US;being assaulted even by D Trump.You switch on your tv to watch socccer and the next you see fans chanting at a blackman simply cuz he tried to prove himself better than an average blackman in the jungle of Africa.You can't change the facts on ground and I hate being hypocritical to maintain a status quo on racial segregation against blacks.

fellis: ^That isn't just a theory. Black people are actually covertly being taught to believe that they are inferior mostly through the use of mass media. How many times have you actually seen any of these major foreign television stations potray Africa in a good light? It is always one depressing story or another. If they are not broadcasting news about the wars in some African countries then they are showing images or footage of starving and dying poor Africans.
Even when it comes to giving awards for literary work, you would notice that it is mostly the African authors that write on the darker sides of their countries that get international renown ( Chimamanda for instance). There are deliberate attempts to keep Africans down by downplaying their successes and highlighting their failures, that is the truth it is not a theory.

Krucifax: Inferiority complex as a trait is normally borne of personal character first before any outside influences become involved.

With regards to the Black thing, i think the Inferiority Complex mentioned in this thread applies mainly to "some" Blacks in White dominated Societies i.e Europe,North America, etc. If you have lived abroad (out of Africa) for a long time, you will notice there is a subtle but striking difference between Blacks who grew up in Africa and Black who grew up in the West!

I'll use myself as an example,born in the U.K but grew up in Nigeria before returning to the U.K. Someone like me grew up seeing Black Doctors,Engineers,Lawyer,Police,Politicians, etc basically Blacks running things and in control. This perspective formed my character therefore i grew up and walked round with my head held up with confidence and self-belief!

This is very different from a Black child who grew up in the West perhaps with an innate character of confidence but surrounded by events and a society that treats him and people like him like second class never-do-wells! After a while the child starts to believe that and it starts to mold his character. Only strong parenting can prevent this coupled with a personal strength of character!

This evidence is around for your to see in Educational and Entrepreneurial statistics one group has the belief and even expectation to do well,another group wants to do as they are told. It's not an easy phenomena to fight thats for sure!

iebelieve: @braine, this is No theories....its so really..and i totally agree with d school of thought....
Dr. Umez's thoughts have historical proves.there is a document called d mandate dat was supposedly given to all d first african missionaries of the 1890s..and it was carelessly misplaved by one of d misionaries in kenya.........: d document in synopsis states:
1.teach them(africans) to read and not to reason.
2.teach them to focus and keep lookng unto the sky and neva into d ground
3. Teach them to believe in a supreme God and not their gods...
ETC etc
Inother words, d whites or colonial masters used religion to tactically get into d blackman land, they just taught our grand fore fathers to read, and dat was mainly the bible.they taught d 3Rs ...Read, Write and aRithmetics.....while our grandfore fathers exerted all their energies studyng the bible, d whites excerted all their energies developing scientifically.if u observe careful, most of the worlds invention were in d 1890 to the 1900s....
Til today, our schl curricum is built by them, evaluated by their methods and so on...and this is why there is a great difference bwteen our schls and theirs.

I 've d copy of the mandate in my inbox...i can send it to u if u're interested.....

@caps: if u 've any means of linking to Dr, umes, pls let me knw..i did like to follow and contribute my tots on hw to reshape d brainwashed minds of africans.

huni_naija: I wasn't able to watch the video, but this is definitley true! The black man has suffered oo choi and continues to suffer!

Babzilla:
..... because HE CHOOSES TO SUFFER

Awoofawo:


I have read the said manifesto but don't have a copy of it. Our education system had programmed from the beginning to fail base on the facts you just pointed out. The irony in all these is that in ignorance we fail to realize that Africa is actually the birth place of science and technology! Ancient Egyptian are not white but black just like you and me.
We have been brain-washed to point that we totally lose sight of our past glories as originators of modern technological glories!

huni_naija:

I agree with you sha.. But what are the necessary steps needed to avert even more suffering and gnashing of teeth for the black man? I'm tired oo

Babzilla:
IT STARTS WITH BELIEF BELIEF THAT YOU ARE BETTER THAN YOU ARE AND THAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE MORE.THEN FOLLOWING SUCH BELIEFS WITH ACTION. NOT WAITING 4 IMF, WORLD BANK ON SOME SHYLOCK INVESTORS TO COME HAND U PEANUTS.
DONT CRY MA WE'LL GET THERE GRADUALLY.

cheddarking: Absolute rubbish.

The truth of the matter is while blacks have been repressed for centuries, many black people REFUSE to take responsibility for themselves and their actions -eager to blame the white man for their woes like Dr Umez here...

These days, the only thing that holds you back is you...regardless of your skin colour.

litgirl22: On an objective basis the English word "black" is an antithesis to "white". people naturally find it inferior as well.

Thus, when a group of people accept to be 'black' and another accept to be 'white' who will embody the superior and honorable characteristics to outsiders?

Makes no difference if the 'white' group is bad in reality. Their status and outlook on the outside would attract admiration from others, period.

We africans know the importance of naming ceremonies. Would you name your daughter ashawo, try to put a positive spin on the name (2 no avail) and expect people to respect her? Lol would you expect her to respect herself?
