Is The White Men More Superior Than The Black Men? by AltarBoy1: 3:51pm On Jul 24, 2014
Good day fellas... I didnt mean to sound racist or to show any superiority of the white skin, but I just want to come out plain, to get you guys view on this issue that have been bothering me for quite sometime. As a matter of fact, am a Nigerian and proud to be black skinned... No regret on any sort. Now straight to the point (sorry, my points might be cut and join).
Is it that the white men are better than us or did God give them a better priviledge/brain than the black men or did the black race decided to make themselves perpetually inferior to the white race. I dont seem to understand, but when you look around the world, everything around us points to the fact that the white men are far better than the black men. Take for instance, in terms of technology, the Black Men have nothing to write home about, though I know of some great inventions that were invented by black men but in actual sense, the white men has the majority in terms of invention. Even with all the education that we have at our disposal these days, we still cant get to invent something unique(stand to be corrected), all we just do is buy and use the latest technology produced by them even they themselves dont freak about it like we do..
Secondly, an average black man thinks of how to enrich and better himself and his family without wanting to sacrifice for the good of the society at large. Its difficult seeing an average black man trying to go on a quest that will benefit the world at large. Just like one of my science lecturer once said, "that if the world were to be inhibited by the black race alone, that no human would have landed on the moon even by the 50th century. He went further to add that, he a black man die mysteriously or on his way to a new/secluded place, the black men will say that he was killed by the gods or attach spiritual explanation to his death. but if its the white men, they will definitely find out what killed him"... Though I took his comment as a racist, but now am beginning to understand the intrinsic meaning behind his statement. Look at the countries that is being inhibited by the black race, most (if not all) are in a great mess (even those outside the shores of the Africa) despite the numerous and overwhelming natural resources under their disposal. I know most of you will say that its the white men that is exploiting the blacks, but why cant the blacks think things their own way and keep the white men at bay from interfering in the management of their countries.
Sometimes, I get mad at some of our forefathers that one way or the other enhanced the slave trade... What did the white men give to them or where did they keep their brain that they decided to sell their fellow black men for some cheap items/money and saw nothing wrong in it. Also, what were they doing when the white men were busy voyaging the earth traveling from one continent to the other. Till date, most black men loss their senses when they encounter a white man. I have been to places and I have seen how black men pay serious respect to white men... Was in P/Harcourt during my service year, I used to see how Nigerian Army bu*t-lick that of the white men and they dont do same to rich(even richer) black Nigerians... I just wonder what is really wrong with the black race.
I was watching a documentary on "The Raising of The Concorda"... Its about a ship that partially sank off the coast of Italy. There were more than 50 scientist from different countries that came around to raise the ship from its sinking state. Before the project was started, one of the leading engineer in the project was interviewed... He was like "he is happy to be among the team that will perform the project, not because of any reward, but because of the experience he will get from the state of the art technology/method that will be developed and employed to lift the ship".... After the project, I was really marveled at how the ship was raised. I know, if it were to be an all black men engineers that will handle the project, one wouldn't be surprised when the start demand for a very huge pay. Just take a look at what happened in the last world cup. Three out of five African team protested over their allowance. (though I dont blame only the players, but also the national body of those countries that failed in their own part). This is a tournament that players dream to participate in, and to make matters worse, almost 70-80% of the protesting players earn much more than their allowance in their respective club side, but they will rather want to collect all the money they can lay their hands on than properly represent their country in the tournament.
Lastly, we all know the that white men have witches/black magic. But you hardly see their witches going on blood sucking spree or sending death charm from one location to another to kill some one just because he has progressed in life than him/her.
All these things, just make me wonder if its the same brain and mentality that the creator gave all of us or is theirs far better than ours....
No mind my grammar and disjointed points....
Thanks for reading....

Depends on how you look at it. The average black man will call a white man "master". I've seen lots of blacks who work for "indians" referring to them as masters. Can you imagine?

For the sake of not sounding like an a**hole, I'd say we are all equal but the black man definitely has an inferiority complex and is prone to retrogression

White men are evil, the devil if he exists must be a white man, how can a human being carry another human being to his country to work like an animal? All the blacks in America are slaves, their forefathers were taken against their will to America to work as animals, what kind of human being does that? Only the white man, the white man's greed is so great that he would wipe out your entire race just for gold or diamond. The white man is a punishment from God on the black race for sins we committed a long while ago. Lol, I'm just kidding the white man is cool.

So why don't you name us those black countries outside the shores of Africa that are "in a great mess". How many have you visited? Trinidad? Jamaica? St Lucia? St Vincent? Barbados? Guyana? Surinam? I KNOW you have not stepped foot in even one of those countries, yet your wretched inferiority complex has led you to believe they must be hell, since black people live there. Reality check: those countries are some of the most beautiful and and enjoyable places to stay on earth. In Africa, there are many countries growing economically, some among the fastest growing on earth. You really should spend your time contributing positively to the African Renaissance, instead of holding yourself back with this wretched inferiority complex.

They certainly don't seem convinced because they keep asking this question over and over again.

Okay we're half evolved chimps but look what we can do. We can drive cars, aeroplanes, work factory machines, fly spaceships, learn modern medicines and otherwise do what the whites- that by all accounts have stopped evolving -can do. It means us Nigerians are superior since in our half evolved state we're equal to whites. Imagine what we're capable of achieving when we fully evolve in the next fifty thousand years and onwards.

Honest? So why didn't they tell you the truth when invading you by stating they were coming to loot your resources instead of handing you a bible and pretending they were angels, when even they themselves don't venture near church? Also, why did they sign so many treaties with pre-colonial African chiefs which were deceptive, and led to large tracts of land being 'transferred' to them? Why did they invent an elaborate pack of lies simply in order to invade Iraq, kill 1 million people, and seize her oil and gas assets, worth several trillion dollars? Why do they use their agencies like the CIA to clandestinely support, arm and fund terrorist and rebel groups in order to destabilize countries they wish to invade, and then arrive as ''saviours'', to loot and destroy what's left?

Hardworking
So why did they need to import ''non-hardworking'' Africans to build America, Europe and the New World via the slave trade? Why are millions of them dependent on welfare benefits and food stamps to survive? Why should you consider them more hardworking than the average African who works ten times harder than them to earn a living? How many of them can sell Gala on the street for one hour? Or wake up at 4am to set up their fruit stall at Oshodi? Or work a farm from dawn to sunset?

disciplined
So how come millions of them are drowning in credit card debt amounting to countless billions of dollars? How come they are the largest consumers of drugs and alchohol in the world, and hold world records for divorce, teenage pregnancies and paedophilia?

Scientific approach to issues
The average white person has no more of a ''scientific approach to issues'' than anyone else. Contrary to your colonial hallucinations, the average white person is just as ordinary in thought and conceptualization as other people on earth. For many, solving their ''issues'' is done by recourse to drink, drugs, gambling, suicide, sexua.l perversion, infidelity and other vices. You will also find in the west the world's largest concentration of psychics, palm readers, tarot specialists, mediums, seers, gurus, and witches, with countless millions seeking answers to their ''issues'' from such characters.

neat
adventurous
Easy enough to be those things if you're financially buoyant.

It is as clear as day and night that the whites (by whites i mean caucasians and asians) are more advanced than we the Negroids. They are more advanced scientifically, technologically, socially and even spiritually. This can easily bee seen in their literacy, mathematics and achievements. In fact they taught us every thing we know, they taught us alphabets, numbers, geometry and even writing. Without our contact with the white man, most black societies would still be in hunting and gathering stage.

All you wrote shows that indded they are more superior. In the natural world, the term survival of the fittest is the golden rule. A stronger animal, specie or sub-specie will attempt to subdue and exploit a weaker one. They exploited us yesterday and would continue to exploit us tomorrow because the are stronger or superior.

We blacks are simply too socially and spiritually deficient to see beyond our personal or tribal immediate gains.

The Arabs and Europeans completely dominated us to the extent, half of Africa think like and Arab, dress like an Arab, speak like and Arab and worship Arabic Gods, while the other half think, speak, speak and worship like an European.


Rossikki:

Because they accepted the fact that they are inferior to us in terms of physical strenght and desease resistance, but are superior technologically, militarily and intellectually. So they used what they have to get what they wanted.

Because they are socially superior to realize that a social equilibruim has to exist whereby the poor are not let in abject poverty, while the rich would live in stupendous wealth. A society built on wide social imbalance almost always lead to destruction of such society. So They go to great lenghts to make sure the poor is able to survive well enough. The Blacks are well endowed for physical work while the whites have intellectual superiority. While a black man would be running after cars on the expressway to sell Gala all day, a white man would simply instal a vending machine and anybody who want to buy gala would come down from his/her car and slot a coin and voila, gala would pop out.

They drown in debt because they control the world economy. They control the prices of everthing and they decide when to pay their debt. They consume large quantities of drugs, alchohol, etc, because they have been able to fulfil most of their basic needs, so they are looking for challenges and means of recreation. We on the other hand spend most of our energy and days on basic survival, like looking for food, water, shelther, etc.

No

The reasons why the black race is underdeveloped are

1) Colonial creation of bringing incompartable people to form various countries.

So time that would have being spent on developmental projects is being spent on ethno-religious politics

2) Faulty educational system that fail to teach kids how things work and how things are produced.

Do you know that the British never established any university in Nigeria.

The first universities were established by our founding fathers almost 50yrs after our almagation in 1914.

You're an ignoramus typing horse manure through your self-hating anus. Go and read history before embarrassing yourself further with this colonialist rubbish. For your information, BLACK AFRICA gave the world writing, mining, speech, law, religion, architecture, medicine, mathematics, geometry, the arts and the sciences. Right here in Africa lie the ruins of some of the world's oldest cities, built with stone and geometry THOUSANDS OF YEARS before the first city in Europe was built. Have you heard of Kerma? Of course you've never heard of it. It's in Sudan. A city that was built TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO. It's ruins still lie there. The sharp geometry of its fallen stone temples and monuments visible even in its ruins. HOW DARE YOU claim that the race that gave the world CIVILIZATION is inferior to those who were brutes, running around in caves when black Africans were studying the stars, inventing mathematics and building pyramids? By the time the last of the pyramids were already ancient relics, Europe had given the world not ONE civilization. Not one written language. They were stagnant and backward for thousands of years, as Africans led the world in science, trade, commerce, and learning.

Of course it was never going to be the case that black dominance would persist indefinitely or forever. As humans, they were always bound to decline at some stage, and be replaced by others. That is the way the world works. No civilization lasts forever. This same Europe you think is ''superior'' will one day come crashing to the ground like a pack of cards. It's even happening already. Asia is taking their place. Meanwhile 6 of the world's 10 fastest growing economies are in Africa. So Africa too is rising again. THE LAST THING WE NEED IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU drowning in colonial mentality and inferiority complex, fouling up our space with your putrid, ignorant, slave-minded garbage. Do us all a favour. Go and read history - African history especially. Right now, you are a lost, ignorant, colonized, brainwashed drone.

This quote is from Lady Lugard, wife of the first British Governor-General of Nigeria: THE COLONIALISTS KNEW what YOU don't know, ie that Black Africa civilized the world. They KNEW that without black Africans, the world, including Europe and Asia, would still be in the stone age.


Excerpts:


Flora Shaw's (alias Lady Flora Lugard) book, A Tropical Dependency: An Outline of the Ancient History of the Western Sudan With an Account of the Modern Settlement of Northern Nigeria, is an extraordinary look at the history of Africa, which she gathered from countless sources, and one would imagine a great deal of it came from the British Library and from the archives of The Times of London, for whom she had for many years been the Foreign Political Correspondent. She had always been known to be an intensive researcher into her subject matter, and one wonders at the months and probably years she put into this undertaking, which became the reference work for so many future books on Africa. This book was first published 100 years ago showing with detail and descriptive power, the greatness that Africa once was. Lady Lugard argues that:

"When the history of Negroland comes to be written in detail, it may be found that the kingdoms lying towards the eastern end of Sudan (classical home of Ancient Ethiopians) were the home of races who inspired, rather than of races who received, the tradition of civilization associated for us with the name of ancient Egypt. For they cover on either side of the Upper Nile between the latitudes of ten degrees and seventeen degrees, territories in which are found monuments more ancient than the oldest Egyptian monuments. If this should prove to be the case and civilized world be forced to recognize in a black people the fount of its original enlightenment, it may happen that we shall have to revise entirely our view of the black races, and regard those who now exist as the decadent representatives of an almost forgotten era, rather than as the embryonic possibility of an era yet to come."

"The fame of the ancient Ethiopians (ancient Kushites) was widespread in ancient history. Herodotus described them as the most beautiful and long-lived of the human races, and before Herodotus, Homer, in even more flattering language, described them as the most just of men, the favorites of the gods. The annals of all the great early nations of Asia Minor are full of them. The Mosaic records allude to them frequently; but while they are described as the most powerful, the most just, and the most beautiful of the human race, they are constantly spoken of as Black, and there seems to be no other conclusion to be drawn than that at that remote period of history, the leading race of the Western World was a Black race."


Lady Lugard/Flora Shaw Lugard, Asa G. Hilliard, III, A Tropical Dependency: An Outline of the Ancient History of the Western Sudan With an Account of the Modern Settlement of Northern Nigeria, Black Classic Press (1900)


Long before Lugard, the French writer Constantin-François Volney (1757-1820), in his important work, The Ruins of Empires, extends this point of view by saying that the ancient Egyptians, (who were black Africans) were the first people to "attain the physical and moral sciences necessary to civilized life." In referring to the basis of this achievement he states further that, "It was, then, on the borders of the Upper Nile, among a Black race of men, that was organized the complicated system of worship of the stars, considered in relation to the productions of the earth and the labors of agriculture; and this first worship, characterized by their adoration under their own forms and national attributes, was a simple proceeding of the human mind."

Volney's Ruins; or, Meditation on the Revolutions of Empires, Boston, J. Mendum, 1869.

Volney visited Egypt, were he encountered the Great Sphinx (Date of construction: PRE-HISTORY)


The Great Sphinx at Giza, Egypt


He wrote:

''When I visited the Sphinx, its appearance gave me the key to the riddle. On seeing that head, typically Negro in all its features, I remembered the remarkable passage where Herodotus says: "As for me, I judge the Colchians to be a colony of the Egyptians because, like them, they are black with woolly hair. ..." In other words, the ancient Egyptians were true Negroes of the same type as all native-born Africans. That being so, we can see how their blood, mixed for several centuries with that of the Romans and Greeks, must have lost the intensity of its original color, while retaining nonetheless the imprint of its original mold. We can even state as a general principle that the face is a kind of monument able, in many cases, to attest or shed light on historical evidence on the origins of peoples.''

Volney adds:

''Just think that this race of black men, today our slave and the object of our scorn, is the very race to which we owe our arts, sciences, and even the use of speech! Just imagine, finally, that it is in the midst of peoples who call themselves the greatest friends of liberty and humanity that one has approved the most barbarous slavery and questioned whether black men have the same kind of intelligence as Whites!'' {endquote} {endnote 7: C. F. Volney, Voyages en Syrie et en Egypte. Paris, 1787, I, 74-77.}
.........



In 1825, Arnold Hermann Heeren (1760-1842), German Professor of History and Politics in the University of Gottengen and one of the ablest of the early exponents of the economic interpretation of history, published, in the fourth and revised edition of his great work Ideen Uber Die Politik, Den Verkehr Und Den Handel Der Vornehmsten Volker Der Alten Weld, a lengthy essay on the history, culture, and commerce of the ancient Ethiopians, (the Greeks referred to all Africa south of Egypt as 'Ethiopia') which had profound influence on contemporary writers in the conclusion that it was among these ancient Black people of Africa and Asia that international trade was first developed. He thinks that as a by-product of these international contacts there was an exchange of ideas and cultural practices that laid the foundations of the earliest civilizations of the ancient world. Heeren in his researches says: "From the remotest times to the present, the Ethiopians have been one of the most celebrated, and yet the most mysterious of nations. In the earliest traditions of nearly all the civilized nations of antiquity, the name of this distant people is found. The annals of the Egyptian priests are full of them, and the nations of inner Asia, on the Euphrates and Tigris, have interwoven the fictions of the Ethiopians with their traditions of the wars and conquests of their heroes; and, at a period equally remote, they glimmer in Greek mythology. When the Greeks scarcely knew Italy and Sicily by name, the Ethiopians were celebrated in the verses of their poets, and when the faint gleam of tradition and fable gives way to the clear light of history, the lustre of the Ethiopians is not diminished."

No! why the heck are useless threads created like this all sometimes? I can tell you that Fulani people feel no inferiority complex to anyone. Those who are feeling inferior to whites just know that you are just inferior in general. It's not black people that are inferior, it is you as an individual with your uneducated mind that is inferior. No one is better than me. I say this with extreme confidence as I stand tall at my 190cm height proud to be African.

My Fulani brother, Threads like this are not useless, they should prompt us to take a critical look at ourselves and see where we have gone wrong. Black Africa has imbibed all the wrong values from time immemorial and we refuse to change. On an individual and anatomical level we are equal to all other races on earth, but on a social level, we are well behind. We have never been able to create a strong and viable social organization that will ensure our collective survival. The Fulani people are indeed inferior to the Arabs, that is why they were conquered by Arabs and have been subsumed by Arab language, culture and religion.

The sad aspect is that even if your people think, dress and worship Arabic Gods, the Arabs still see your people as grossly inferior to them.

Lets not get too emotional in this dicussion... Rather, lets present facts that we can lay our hands on... One thing I want you guys to look at is this... The blacks are not inferior per se, but the blacks let the white rule over them and then the inferiority complex set in... How can one explain the fact that in school, we are all thought about western theorems and culture. Apart from history and some courses, the blacks spend years in school learning about the whites men ways and culture.
