SirShymex:

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 people outside of Africa where black folks are minorities can NEVER be racist - period!

Truckpusher: 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.

SirShymex:

It's just prejudice and it goes both ways.

SirShymex:

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!!

CityNG:

Excellent.

I simply ignore them and let them wallow in their ignorance.

No one should be playing a victim mentality. Any person that assumes that probably have underlying issues that needs to be evaluated by a Psychologist.

Truckpusher: If you call it simple prejudice based on the word 'race' in racism then we shouldn't be shouting racism each time these white folks starts running niggas down - it should be simply be taken as human prejudice against other humans and not the 'racism' we keep yelling.

BadBoy25: yes ,if given power ,black people are the most bigoted people, That is why i have no sympathy towards blacks in some situations sometimes . that is why God did not give black people power to dominate the earth .

SirShymex:

It's deeper than that. With white folks it comes with power and being the dominant race. Also, it's more or less a culture ingrained in their consciousness albeit subconsciously through white privilege and a white dominated system, based on history. Once you understand that - you'll understand why black diaspora can never be racist.

Anyway, no body can ever charge a black person in a court of law of being racist anywhere in the west...it will be thrown out of court. Bigotry and hate crime - YES. But racism - never!

We can huff and puff, but we don't have the power to be racist.

ooshinibos: 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

BadBoy25: yes ,if given power ,black people are the most bigoted people, That is why i have no sympathy towards blacks in some situations sometimes . that is why God did not give black people power to dominate the earth .

all4naija:
Do you know what I hate about many black people? Repeating the same ugly processes claiming to know what they are doing. Like upholding ancient barbaric culture and practices, those who refused to learn from their mistakes,etc. Those kind of black people are pulling back those who want change. They are the problem of 21st century black people. They are annoying!

BadBoy25: yes ,if given power ,black people are the most bigoted people, That is why i have no sympathy towards blacks in some situations sometimes . that is why God did not give black people power to dominate the earth .

Truckpusher: What makes you feel that some cultures are barbaric?

all4naija: Some parts of the African (black) culture are barbaric like human rituals,etc.

Truckpusher: You have a point too.

Whatever ,I think racism becomes racism when you make it look like racism.

Most of us have friends and colleagues that are from other races and in our cause of fraternizing and working together I've come to understood that the only time we black people take offense, is when such racist comments are coming from people we don't know but the same comments can be made by your white friends but you'll never perceive it as racism simply because you know them and they are your friends.

This is one reason I still maintain that any black person that screams racism all the time should get a psychological help asap.

In your voice.....*shalom*

Truckpusher: And you truly think that human rituals and sacrifice are barbaric?.....Though I do not support any form of human sacrifice.

Truckpusher:

What has dirty environment got to do with barbarism?

all4naija:
Okay! You just proved me right that you are among those pulling back black people from advancing. Jeez! You could arguably justify human rituals as not a barbaric practice. Smh...

all4naija: Some parts of the African (black) culture are barbaric like human rituals, dirty environment, backwardness as in not willing to advance with some kind of brute-like nature, etc.

all4naija: There are racists in every race of majority and minority. The magnitude and consequences of racism in these groups is what matters a lot. Hate is human problem. Finding solution to it is very important. That is the truth.

fr3do:

the crusades is barbarism.
colonialism is barbarism.
Outright beastiiality and homosexuality is barbarism.
Fascism is barbarism.
Refuting polygamy is barbarism.

It will be barbaric for only a people to decide what is barbaric for others.
Dont you think?

BadBoy25: you are laughable . why dont you take your belongings and get the fvck out of whatever first world nation you reside in and move back to your third world shiithole and practice your supremacy there ?
If I were in the position of power , you should be stripped off your citizenship and deported back to your third world shiithole . I don't have time for whiners, I just let my feelings flow.

all4naija:
Those are no longer practiced in the West! You should know when to make your points valid. Refusing polygamy is not. Jeez!
