Culled from the book: What Is Wrong In Being Black?, written by Matthew Ashimolowo

Being black is natural, but becoming black is a different 'issue'. I am not a subject of my skin pigment, I am a mankind.

I do not have reservation for being black, nor do I have anything against being called a black man or African man or man.

Perfect world is just an ideal, it does not exist. Also, people who look down on others have inferiority complex too, you know?

First, they are worthless in their own race and it feels good to come across someone they can call "worthless" as a worthless souls.

Meanwhile, some people always want to blame their failure in life on "the boogeyman" that is white or witch so they might appear blameless.
Albeit, nobody stops anybody from being great be it people of colour or Caucasian or a man from the east and the aborigines of this world.

The stereotypes that people carry about limit them to their shells and hamlets.

The black is blessed beyond the curse of religious propaganda of their exploiters these days.

But that does not guarantee that you will find yourself among top echelon of the society if you don't try.

The world stand aside for the man who know his path to pass.

Race is not the issue, who you are is the issue.

Being black smears your shirt, making you spend a sizable lump of your income on Hypo(c): an expense that your Caucasian colleagues with equal earnings don't have to make- less money for food for you- POVERTY.

I am no philosopher, but I'm sure that living like a loser won't make you a winner. Being black to you might mean Oprah or Samuel Doe, Good or Bad, Benighted or Enlightened ....... YOUR CHOICE!

Black beauty. Black is our African Pride

hmmmm..am i really that black

That's the black man's spirit.

NOTHING wrong with being black.

but in terms of progress, we are our own worst enemies.

There is nothing wrong in being black...only racism

The only thing that is wrong being black is the low self esteem mentality black people have!!

The plight of the black man brings an old tune by UB40 to my mind:

"King(Martin Luther), where are your people now?! Chained and pacified! Tried in vain to show them how and for them you died."

Malcolm, Dr King, Stokley Carmichael, Patrice fought hard for the black man, at the end of the day, the black man is still in chains. The chains of mental slavery.

Jst try and watch this movie '12 years a slave',and you will weep. Blacks have really suffered from the whites,from brutality,oppression,dejection,hard labour etc. They used religion has a yardstick to oppress us more.

Blacks are full of shit. With rutting leaders, and epidemic such as islam destroying the continent. Hell any race will be backward with this type of problem!

nothing

Nothing wrong!
Am proud to be a black! Different colour but one People, one God! We re strong and intelligent, that's why the white find us as threats!

Define Black then we can talk

Look at your head like agbalumo....Agbaya!

Op you are totally wrong in some aspect, economic wise Black countries are poor but mentally body is equal, there is no curse anywhere, its not due to slavery or any other thing, but it is due to greed. The mind of an average African mind is filled with greed, the average African man want to be better than the rest, so therefore he careless to provide jobs just so that the man he tagged poor will not be richer than himself tomorrow. Dangote is a billionaire, but what has he done to help Nigeria?, Abacha stole billions, where did he keep the money? James Ibori went and bought estate in UK with investment, why didn't he build the estate here?

I don't blame our leaders but even the people ain't good either. Blacks are succeeding every where in different countries but the ones in the black govern countries are suffering. Go to Winnipeg Alberta Canada and see how those greedy leaders spend money on their Kids?, you will broke into tears.

My friend, the problem with Black African's is greed..

Who cares about dis Oyibo racism, if any think its easy to change his/her skin colour, let him/her try darkening his skin.

There is nothing wrong with it. Being black is a very unique thing, God blessed us with everything but we have destroyed it. I believe you should speak for yourself as a person and not your race because you can only be sure of yourself. Your skin does not define who you are,your actions do.

Ask the black man!

Blacks don't crack.

Black is beautiful...God's Black..

NOTHING ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
