InvertedHammer: / I think the OP is confused about what racism entails. He asserted that racism is about "superiority" and to be superior, you've to be the dominant race, with power. However, since minorities can never be the dominant race, and they lack the power to either rule, or be superior - there's absolutely no way they can be racist. But on the flip-side - they can be bigots and and also ethnocentric. Topic: - BIG NO!! |

If a black man is racist is it okay? What if its the white mans racism that made him that way? The bully is the victim some would say but by some sense they are all the same!! Say NO to RACISM. The piano keys are painted black and white for a purpose. 1 Like |

we have racism in nigeria. You may call it tribalism, i see it as racism. Yorubas hating igbos, igbos hating hausas, hausas hating yorubas, igbos hating yorubas , hausas hating igbos. Even other minorities tribes do these to one another. |

chineloSA: And aren't American Jews also European Jews and part of the Aryan race? You can't separate them from white America. Ditto the Irish Americans, Anglo Americans, Italian Americans, Polish Americans, Austro-German Americans etc.. All the same race. |

I've been here in the US since 1986. The only racism I've ever experienced in the US were from black people. You Africans come over here..... Go back to Africa...... 2 Likes |

Yes ,minorities does discriminate ,but its a complex that can be explained , i have experienced it , people become how they are treated , i noticed this in Europe , some of the afro caribbeans are obviously racist to african migrants , and the british born asians are worst than the white racist ...it is a vicious cycle bruv , i remember a black afro caribbean commuter in london abusing a bus conductor that happenned to be an african ( obviously she was nigerian or ghana because she had tribal marks ) , the commuter shouted at the conductor , go back to ur country and all sorts of racial abuse , the oyibos in the bus could not believe it , i was shocked beyond my brain and i will never forget. i remember this more than the white racism that i have experienced in Europe . i believe if the afro carbbeans that were born in europe had never experience racism they might have not been able to dish out the same evil to fellow african migrants that show up in europe. i will think the victims of racism will be compassionate but it nevers turns out that way ..the abused becomes the abuser most of the times .....same story amongst the afro americans and the african migrants, the tension and hate is just something else... this racism is beyond color and its an evil mechanism designed to destroy mankind..turning a blind to it makes it worst and when this evil matures it does not discriminate .... terrorism is an off shoot of untreated racism ..and so on 2 Likes |

CityNG: I've been here in the US since 1986. You need to check yourself - you're the problem. Learn to integrate with the black community wherever you find yourself, and you'd be alright. And a black person can't be racist to a next black person - you're both from the same race. |

The American Heritage College Dictionary, has two meanings. Firstly, racism is “the belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.”... In that case, most Nigerians are racist because most of them believe that "race accounts for differences in human character or ability" (every white guy working here in Nigeria is considered to be a genius), and that "a particular race is superior to others" (I don't even need to cite examples here). @poster, what is this type of racism called #curious |

Truckpusher: He's right to an extent - I have come across some African Americans that showed some sign of discomfort being around a continental African and I have also come across AA's that disrespects and disregard continental Africans for just no reason I can visibly see or perceive. But that's not racism - you can use whatever words to describe it but racism doesn't apply here in this context. And it goes both ways if people are more objective and not trying to play the victim mentality. |

Truckpusher: He's right to an extent - I have come across some African Americans that showed some sign of discomfort being around a continental African and I have also come across AA's that disrespects and disregard continental Africans for just no reason I can visibly see or perceive. Those are my cases. Once it was at an HOA meeting. I was fighting the HOA because they turned down my request to install a basketball hoop in my house for my kids. Response of one of the AA there (not even on the board but a fellow homeowner was to say "if it's that bad why don't you go back to Africa?". The other was many years ago. I was dating an AA and when I showed up at a club unknowingly her ex BF was there. So he came up to me and said the "you africans come over here and take our jobs and women". So any sane person can see that I clearly did not do anything to warrant that. 1 Like |

SirShymex: Like I suggested and not confirmed, you do indeed have an alternative agenda. Why would I label someone was being ghetto or thug? To what usefulness will that do for me? Regarding your suggestion, I think I'll rather stay here since my presence is causing you to be agitated and frankly I enjoy that You and I clearly aren't in the same social circle because I don't use words like that. 1 Like |

SirShymex: I'm far from someone that you can accuse of claiming a victim. OP asked a question and I answered. I live a very fruitful life, surrounded by a great circle of friends, an outstanding career. I have nothing but thanks and appreciation for my life. But good luck with your hangups though.

SirShymex:I got your drift, do not misquote me . If the word 'racism' does not apply in this context ,then I'd be more than glad to learn from you how a discriminatory attitude from a black person raised in the US or in the West all his life to another black person raised in Africa should be called or referred to. FYI: I do not play the victim mentality-for every racist person I come across I know exactly how to treat them and put them where they belong. 2 Likes |

CityNG: I definitely don't want to be in the same circle with a grown man who thinks people from the same race can be racist to him. Can't you discern the word "race" in "racism?" Nah, a black person outside of Africa where black folks are minorities can NEVER be racist - period! |
