Quote from: dakmanzero on June 02, 2006, 10:44 AM if you are racist, you have no right to complain about racism done unto you I'm glad you used the word 'if'. So what if I'm not? As such, I don't need to convince you of anything. You are racist, I am not. different points of view- we are both entitled to. I simply will not listen to you when you complain. So one minute, it is if I'm racist the next, you've made up your mind that I am. You agree that we are entitled to different points of view and yet you describe my point of view as a complaint For the record, I have not only experienced racial prejudice, I was born into a prejudiced society and grew up there. My father eventually relocated from the UK to Nigeria almost squarely on grounds of racism and the 'glass ceiling effect'. We lived in an almost exclusively white environment, considering the nature of my fathers profession at that time, and frequently came in contact with less-privileged and envious white families. It might or might not surprise you that your experience is pretty common for those whose parents studied/worked abroad especially in the 60 's-early 80's. So I don't see how that has anything to do with disagreeing with Charlize Theron's supposed 'Africaness' As such, if I can choose not to be racist despite all this, it should tell you something. Again, disagreeing with Charlize Theron's 'Africaness', is definitely not racism! It is simply disagreeing with Charlize Theron's 'Africaness'!!! My brother, where do you get off  and why are you seeing my point of view through racist eyes? Perhaps your experience left you more scarred than you care to admit. Not to worry, we all have our secret/hidden traumas.Again, from my point of view, she ain't African. Cikena. Just like there ain't no Black English people. Just British!!!. Now if you still want to see that as racist, then you sure do have Take am easy bro  . Life's too short   She ain't African, She ain't African, and SHE AIN'T AFRICAN  |

Dont have time to copy/paste your quotes, so mix and match responses. I'm under pressure here and dont have much time. >>> The initial assertion was a set-up for the statement I made next. >>> The statement I made then and am reinforcing now is that YES, YOU ARE RACIST. You hold a racist view, therefore you are. If you choose to defend yourself, please do so in the context of your earlier statements. >>> Your point of view is not the complaint. Read my gorram post and stop talking nonsense. >>> of course it is common. for christs sake maintain focus and stop trying to divert the subject. It is merely a rebuttal to your statements about me not having experienced skin colour prejudice. for sheezy. >>> disagreeing with her africanness on the basis of her skin colour is die hard, hardcore racism. If you dont kow it, better know it now befiore you make blanket statements like 'racists are pigs!' without knowing that u just made yourself a sty with ya mouth. >>>> ah aaah now. Why did u suddenly become friendly at the end of d post? Now am feeling guilty for lashing out at u like dat,  but, shes african |

Charlize Theron is a beautiful woman, no doubt. But the best African actress? I think not. She may say she is African born and comes from South Africa, but that definitely does not mean that she is proud of African heritage as a whole. She is a successful Hollywood actress but to me she is definitely NOT the pride of Africa. Talking of apartheid, it really is amazing how someone can say that any resulting ill feeling is sour grapes. To think that blacks could not vote in their own home country until 1994 !!!( when the whole world had more or less gotten rid of racial prejudice.) Have you watched the Soweto riots? Black school children were mown down by police bullets as they fled from them. Other young children arrested and tortured in police cells before being sentenced. And this is all recent from a historical perspective. I can't imagine anyone telling the Jews any pain concerning that the racial injustice they've endured in the past is sour grapes. In fact, heaven help whoever says so. |

@ Darkman zero, Sorry to disappoint you, I wasn't being friendly at the end of my post.; I was just laughing all the way through typing it because I just knew the type of response I would get  and guess what, you didn't disappoint me!I can just imagine you typing away, gnashing your teeth at my 'blasphemy', fire blazing in your eyes and smoke pouring through your nostrils, all the while muttering-'shes african, she's african, she's african, simply because I poked you where it appeared to hurt. You can take my response in what sense you will, call me racist or colourist or whatever but like Madira stated, it is amazing how someone can say that any resulting ill feeling is sour grapes. Be that as it may, you're more than entitled to your own opinion and as for 'lashing out' at me, And I'm still laughing, honest. |
| Re: Charlize Theron Is The Best African Actress by Uche2nna(m): 1:21am On Sep 16, 2006 |
@ Darkman zero and Enugu.I can not understand you guys argument.Are you talking about an actress who is African or are u talking about an African who is an actress |
| Re: Charlize Theron Is The Best African Actress by enugu(f): 1:29am On Sep 16, 2006 |
[table] Uche2nna:[/table] @Uche2nna Me sef, I think i've lost the plot! I just disagreed with the description of Charlize Theron as an 'African' and that was it! Darkman wanted to zero me off! Anyway, long and short of it- the topic =Charlize Theron Is The Best African Actress My reply- maybe a good actress, in some people's opinion, but definitely not an African actress. That was it o! |
| Re: Charlize Theron Is The Best African Actress by Uche2nna(m): 1:32am On Sep 16, 2006 |
@enugu In your opinion who is an African?Just curious |
| Re: Charlize Theron Is The Best African Actress by enugu(f): 1:48am On Sep 16, 2006 |
[table] Uche2nna:[/table] @Uche2nna, Mmmm, the plot thickens. Why? You must have thought about your own notion of Africannes? Anyway, don't mind me I have a wedding tomorrow, can't sleep and in a mischievious mood. For some reason, defining one's ethnic group/leaning, always puts me in a mischievious mood because there's usually no end to the arguments. Okay, I know, enough of the rigmarole. An African is one who can be identified as one. Just like a European is one wh o can be identified as one as well Asians. Nobody ev er mistakes S aima my co ll eag u e for an African even though part of her ancestry is Kenyan ; she's always identified as Asian but oluo na n k'an yi, people that stole from us, oppressed us and took over will begin to c laim some bogus African ancestry. How many Eng li s h people who's grandparents where in I nd i a in the past c enturies lay claim t o being Indian They don't b e cause,they know they are not.so you are African as Peter Tosh described us 'where you co me from as long as y o u 'r e a black man, yu're an African. None of those of African heritage (i.e. those with a d arker skin hue) living/having lived in the West all their lives/their ancestors lives are described as anything else. I know that these points can be shot down in one fell s woo p as to why they[b] may[/b] not hold water but that is what this 'Lander thinks and has to contend with Ka Chineke mezie okw u please exc use the jagajaga t y pi ng . my keyboard is obviously not ha ppy at t his t opic You know what U che 2nna, I'll h ave t o c on tin ue this after the wedding. My keyboard is giving me wahala and my brain has also joined in and I doubt that I 'm making much sense. But seriously, no one eve r calls Indians or Pakistanis by any other name/description, no matte how long they've been in Africa. The Oyin b o' s over here do not identify us as one of them so i find it wh en th ey begin to claim. And another thing, how come none of these oyinob africans ever come from N aija |

enugu link=topicLol .You are one hell of a funny lady.But I am still keeping an open mind over the issue.In as much as I know and believe the historical hue of all this I would not want to base my ostracization of Chalize(or wetin be her name sef) on wat her ancestors did in the past.It is like saying that all the children of thieves are all thieves and they should be shot!As for skin color,when they say as long as you are black then you are African I really wonder if a Jamaican(who is obviously black) is more african than the sister of my friend who is an Albino!Honestly,I do really like to separate the sheep from the goats but I can not seem to find an all encompassing parameter.Your parameter of history and skin color are enticing but under closer scrutiny they might not hold enuff water. Y u no tell us say u don dey get married?Abi u no want make we chop cake  |

Glad to see you're in high spirits, enugu Was amusing to see you trip over yourself trying to figure out your own definition of 'Africanness'. Perhaps when you figure that out, you may finally realise that your comments were indeed racist. If you *aren't* a racist, then perhaps you will apologise for them? Or perhaps, you may simply realise that if racism is indeed more than what you previously thought it was, you don't mind being a racist afterall. In any case, At the end of the day language is as much a function of popular usage as it is of lexical correctness. The terms 'African' and 'Racist' are both subject to this. If enough powerful people with guns think CT is an african because she was born and raised in Africa, then she's african. If enough powerful people with guns (governments, police forces, custom officials) think that she isn't african because she's white, then she's not. And the only importance that holds for you is that, when the matter is in contention with appropriate gang of powerful, gun-wielding human beings nearby, you'd better agree with them, |

[table] Uche2nna:[/table] @Uche2nna, nwannem, Like I said earlier -in my own opinion What else can I say Darkman is still determined to zero me off. and with ethnicity, it's always this way;who is what, and what is who? Anyway, the wedding was my sister's, the cake is available (virtually) will send you a picture when i can figure out my scanner. the real thing, well k'anyi n'en'anya (make we dey look) And as for my keyboard, I've changed it so and @Darkmanzero, So I've tripped myself up in your own summation, so what You obviously don't suffer from such weaknesses. If I don't see her as African, I don't ! Cikena! If you see her as African, then you do!So take a chill pill! You see me as racist; good luck to you! Am glad someone sees the lighter side of all this. At the end of the day, it's all about what one thinks. You think what you think; I think what I think and that's all there is to it. So long as my 'thinking' does not include any evil intentions to the said person, then it's obvious you didn't read the first few lines of my reply to Uche2nna otherwise you would have seen the word mischief[/b]! and therefore read between the lines. But hey, like i said before [b]you think what you think actually, I just have a smile on my face.Just curious, what is Darkmanzero? sounds like the title of an action film and no I'm not trying to be friendly, I'm just curious. The winner of this argument is the least of my worries. In Bleep DMZ, You win!!!! There, now can I be relieved of your oh-so-serious replies. The woman is there, me am here arguing about nothing. abeg!!! |

The best African actress is different from the best actress in Africa. An African is an African, whether black, white or yellow. We have white Nigerians from British and Dutch ancestors. |

When I marry Charlize Theron and she begins to cook ofe Ukazi and Achalla with Azu Basa and pounds me foofoo and serves me chilled palmwine to wash the delicious Igbo meal down, God help anyone who will dare to query her African origins. Make una take una time oh! Don't discourage her from my overtures! Omalicha oyoyo adanma Charlize Theron, don't mind them ojare. (Hiss). Omo pupa le'mi n'fe. Charlize Theron African oyinbo. |

Charlize Theron is an actress, not a cook. We should allow our women do better things with their lives (apart from cooking, cleaning and baby-making). If an African woman is better than acting than at cooking, it should be ok. |
