You dont get the point. The point is that whites simply want blacks to have low self esteem and inferiority complex that would make us not want to achieve while they on the other hand improve their self esteem with the insecurity of blacks and continue to achieve. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Racist negro b!tch

thisisayus: What I sent to them include;


In fact if I were to base my entire knowledge of
Africa on what I see on those channels, I
wouldn't believe there was a single storey
building standing in the entire African
continent.
No wonder when I travel abroad many people
ask me questions like: ''Do you have cars in
Nigeria?'' ''Do you live in proper houses there?''
''Wow! You mean you have computers there?
Phones too?? Internet! I had no idea!''
Or if they don't ask, they generally give you
this condescending look that says ''we know
you must be glad to escape your mud hut and
lions to come out here... and we know you're
not thinking of going back.''.
Quite sad really. This distorted image of the
continent accounts for much of the racism and
prejudice faced by Africans across the globe.

Other things I've never seen on western
channels in relation to Africa:
- Tarred roads/expressways with cars on them
- Banks
- Universities/higher institutions
- High rises/skyscrapers
- Large numbers of well dressed, well-to-do
people
- Traditional festivals
- Airports
- Nightclubs, restaurants, bars
etc etc

You see what centuries of white propaganda has done to this poor soul?

No knowledge of his own history. No self esteem.

Probably hates the color of his skin, the texture of his hair, etc.

Kairoseki77:

Gee, thanks! Maybe in between your broadcasts of the Serengeti, you can show a human being that isn't starving, or in a war!

Anyone remember Welcome to Lagos? Where the BBC went to refuse dumps to interview people, and then broadcast it all over the world as representative of Nigeria?

Not a single office worker was interviewed. Not a single office building was shown. Not a single university was shown (or any students). Not a single HOUSE was shown (just illegal shacks). Not a single restaurant. Store. Supermarket. Paved road. Etc. The series was over five hours long and they spent 50% of it at a refuse dump. After it aired, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria had to issue a formal apology.

I am really struggling hard to imagine the BBC broadcasting a Welcome to London, where they film the entire series in piles of rubbish, and in council houses, without showing anything else. Can you imagine it? Yeah, didn't think so.

Why do they do this? Because it is fundamental to white people's self esteem to imagine black people to be at the bottom.

For their fantasy of genetic/cultural superiority to work, there must be a group to be superior to. For centuries, they have been trained to believe that Africans (and African descended people) are the proof that they are superior. Anything that contradicts this image is ignored, discredited, or laughed at.

It doesn't make them bad people, it is just the way they are. They can't help it.

Just ignore them. Focus on growing African media (Nollywood, News, Comedy, Music, Fashion, etc) so that we can tell (and sell) our own stories to the world. When young Europeans start spending N100,000 on African hair extensions, you will know that we have won.

If you are waiting for white people to stop being ignorant racists, you will be waiting for an eternity. But in the spirit of Nelson Mandela, let's forgive them and move on.

Mzsolex: I've been meaning to ask this but don't know who to ask, the former broadcast only news 247, when I first saw it on startimes I was like 'is this the TVC?'... I bet the two is owned by the same person/people though.

thisisayus: I'm a proud racist! Yes! Infact I feel like ******* u right from the first post on the BBC/CNN saga. Get into your thick skull, I'll be part of those who will seek reparation from those wicked Europeans and if God wish, I may lead a violent revolution in this country against our 'acclaimed' leaders.
Africa should take her rightful position in the world!
I'm studying the works of Emperor Menalik, Emperor Ras Tafari (Haile Selassie) as a history student. I even want to hate on whites more than Hitler.
All blacks are not with black brain.

I copied BBC and I told them if they did not forward my complain to the appropriate person, they will rot in hell. I also sent a copy of that to CNN but I haven't hear from them.
Here is the reply from BBC via bbc_complaints_website@bbc.co.uk

alienware: you need to get urself informed before coming here to call me a poor soul , abt 150 years ago those guys had already built steam fired trains and many machines, what have you been able to do with ur own RICH SOUL up till this moment ?

Skinni10ne:

Why is it that Africans always bring up the past? We are almost in 2014 and still developing. Leave the past alone, leave Egypt alone...we are not Egyptians, they dont even want to be african. Leave white ppl alone and focus on yourselves as Nigerians and the present. What are we doing NOW to develop our country? What are you doing?

Instead of asking BBC to show different parts of Africa, why dont you question why those parts of Africa are there? Thats a backward way of thinking....thinking of effect instead of the cause. The images they show are reality, even if Nigeria was developed and they were showing those images, you should still ask yourself: why are they there?

Stop caring about what other people think about black ppl and focus!

thisisayus: I'm not feeling important, I AM IMPORTANT both in the sight of God and man.
Hello? Do anybody know u exist? If u die today who's gonna feel ur absence?
Who is that ur uncle? Gone are those stone age where all white feel they are important.
YOU ARE NOBODY!

How else can dey justify their evil deeds.

Orlando Owoh: It is obvious that most of you including the OP don't know what this topic entail and the serious academic discourse it can triggar. You have been saying irrelevant things. This topic should explain why there appears to be a tilt in the flow of information from the developed world against the third world countries, Africa especially.

Look, i don't blame the bbc at all. just yesterday i was taking a walk down the streets in umuahia capital city and i kept wondering why our people like a disorganized wretched looking environment. the governor just demolished the city market and the surrounding attachments that make the inhabitants of umuahia look very wretched and hopeless. still every evening u will see pple carry their goods and display on the roads, blocking free flow of traffic.

btw, how good was oshodi looking b4 governor fashola came to bring sanity. and this is a city center where a first time visitor will use to access the standard of life in the city. the kind of scenes we have here must be shocking to Americans and Europeans. maybe bbc is reporting what they see.

thing are changing anyway...
