no problem . . . i just wonder why you have to come on OUR board to remind US. Are there no Kenyan forums or American forums you could go post this in?

As much as we hate ourselves we can still come together to create a thriving forum where the likes of you lost souls can come and indulge in an orgy of self worship.

why did you have to put the pretentious "no offence" when your post was intentionally meant to create offence?
Re: African Americans Lack Values And Culture by Sammy107d(m): 4:15am On Nov 17, 2008
Mandingo has contributed no sense to this forum- just screaming 'up kenya, down nigeria' everywhere. like a high-schooler.

posting stuff like "im glad my forefathers were slaves". . . shish

this is a huge shame. Ever read "the adventures of Huckleberry Finn"? I had to drop it after a few chapters in disgust. To note that able-bodied men where sold like rags just for the color of their skin makes me sick.

That you are "proud" of such a fact shows what a sad, shallow-minded person you truly are. Its people like you who wont mind being slaves all over again as long as it means you can continue living in the US.

sorry, jungle boi

It's the Immigrant Africans - that are the NEW SLAVES.

You people will kill your first born to get next to YT!

You live to sniff YT's butt - and WORSHIP the ground he walks.

We historical Black Americans have been living with these DEVILS for centuries - we KNOW them for what they ARE!

All We want is our own peaceful existence without THEIR interference.

*********************

Black Americans have done NOTHING to the whites.

The Whites have done EVERYTHING DEMORALIZING to the American Blacks.

**********************

Our inner-city blues, jails, drugs, violence is a direct result of YT's BLOCKING our progression.

****************

On the other hand, NIGERIAN unprogressed stance is a direct result of CORRUPT GOVERNMENTAL NIGERIANS SUBJECTING IT OWN PEOPLE!!!!

&

TRIBALISM - the Hausa, Igbo, impotent Yorba's, Ijaw, Ogoni's, Tiv, etc, can't stand each other.

That's BLACK ON BLACK genocide.

a few American black knuckleheads will kill each other - BUT NEVER a mass genocidal killing,



WE BLACK AMERICAN ACTUALLY LOVE EACH OTHER

MandingoII:

So you admit u're a slave in the US? Such a shame . . . Nigerians are the most educated blacks in the US . . . ur own office of statistics says so.

MandingoII:

You people will kill your first born to get next to YT!

Pretty silly, i work with them daily, i'm one of no more than 10 black faces in a building with 4 floors . . . i dont even have a child to kill.

MandingoII:

You live to sniff YT's butt - and WORSHIP the ground he walks.

u're the one grateful to be a slave not me. Your folks are busy working as cleaners here. What a shame.

MandingoII:

u historical slaves you mean?

MandingoII:

BS. They are over 70% of the population, if you dont want their interference then go set up ur own country . . . Haiti is a good example.

MandingoII:

The Whites have done EVERYTHING DEMORALIZING to the American Blacks.

same old silly blame game.

MandingoII:

Our inner-city blues, jails, drugs, violence is a direct result of YT's BLOCKING our progression.

funny that they dont seem to block the progression of asians, europeans and continental africans. Infact a large percentage of us enjoy white scholarships to schools. What did you do to them?

MandingoII:

On the other hand, NIGERIAN unprogressed stance is a direct result of CORRUPT GOVERNMENTAL NIGERIANS SUBJECTING IT OWN PEOPLE!!!!

Try ruling yourselves first and then see if you're any better. Imagine a USA with no whites . . . yeah Haiti comes to mind.

MandingoII:

TRIBALISM - the Hausa, Igbo, impotent Yorba's, Ijaw, Ogoni's, Tiv, etc, can't stand each other.

Yeah, like you can stand your neighbours.

MandingoII:

That's BLACK ON BLACK genocide.

Ask Jennifer Hudson . . . she has firsthand experience.

MandingoII:

a few American black knuckleheads will kill each other - BUT NEVER a mass genocidal killing,

Of course, u're just a mere 30% of the population. you'd all be locked up in jail if you tried it.

IT BEATS STARVING IN AFRICA!

IT BEATS RAPES IN AFRICA

Yes and i'm damn well proud of it. Just like every French man is proud to be French and the German is proud to be German . . . i am proud to be Yoruba. What are you? Oh sorry, a slave.

MandingoII:

AA's knows nothing about TRIBALISM!

Have you seen Italian Americans, latinos in the US, Irish-Americans, Greek-Americans, Jewish-Americans (Rahm Emanuel) who celebrate their uniqueness and are proud of it? What has an AA got to celebrate? The abolition of slavery?

Economics of crime and drugs?  grin

Mandingo II, go to stormfront.org . . . the day Obama was elected their daily registration rate jumped from 30 a day to 2000. That goes to show what some "fellow Americans" think of you myopic slaves.

My dear, you have a lot more problems to think about. You're just another insecure soul with serious issues with self esteem. There's nothing wrong with being proud of the country you were born . . . but it is a sign of deeper issues of concern when you think being born in America makes you more beautiful than a woman born in continental Africa.

YOU AFRICANS sold us into slavery for:

GIN, TRINKETS AND non-working guns, serves you right that they came back and COLONIZED YOU!


Now, all of africa is a "stinkin corpse" of INFIGHTING!!!!

I'm not your enemy, the white man is.



but YOU PEOPLE are soooooo DUMB - YOU'D rather kill your own black skin, instead of the REAL ENEMY.





while all the world looks on, and claim Africans as BARBARIANS!!!!!

I'd say it was a good sale. We got rid of deluded souls like you who think beauty depends on where u're born.
- They colonized us but we were still free . . . my fathers went to Europe and America to study advanced degrees while your own fathers were still being chained to walls and forced to work in cotton fields.
- When my country was born, your fathers had no rights to vote, could not sit at the same table with whites and had to use back doors in motels and restaurants.

MandingoII:

Now, all of africa is a "stinkin corpse" of INFIGHTING!!!!

The "infighting" is no different from what we see among black Americans. Could that be the reason that blacks make up 15% of the US population but 65% of prison inmates?
- I repeat, remove the whites and u're all exposed for the ignorant, illiterates you all are. Apparently no one told you that the abiility to speak and write in English is not the same as education.

MandingoII:

I'm not your enemy, the white man is.

A foolish people with no hope are the ones continously fighting an illusionary enemy? the white man is not my enemy . . . neither is he yours. When are you going to get tired of blaming him for selling drugs while his own kids are in school? Is he the one infecting you with HIV? Is he the one responsible for impregnanting ur daughters?

MandingoII:


but YOU PEOPLE are soooooo DUMB - YOU'D rather kill your own black skin, instead of the REAL ENEMY.


What about you?

MandingoII:

while all the world looks on, and claim Africans as BARBARIANS!!!!!

funny thing is you try to include your miserable selves among the "world" that is looking on? grin

Dear, the REAL WORLD considers you no different from the rest of continental Africa. Ask white supremacists what they think of you and report back to us.

I am not sure what the previous post is about but:

I dont think all AA lack culture or values! You should not generalize people based on your opinion. What if I were to say all Nigerians are thieves and crooks!

Please understand the way your parents warn you about marrying an AA, we get a fierce warning about marrying someone from Naija, it is your decision to make.
Re: African Americans Lack Values And Culture by huxley(m): 9:01pm On Nov 17, 2008
It would help if you would define what value and culture mean, wouldn't it. The one thing that distinguishes Homo Sapiens from other animals is our ability to create cultures. To deride a people of having no culture is quite a statement and to pull this off, you must have a great deal of evidence on your side.

Let's see what sort of cultural activities African American participate in;

1) Music - Some of the foremost musicians of the last two centuries have been African American, predominantly so in the field of Jazz and many other forms of popular music

2) Literature - Although not as well represented as the Caucasian, there are many well-establish AA literary figures, probably more so that all of Africa put together.

3) Films - AA film production is on the rise

4) Sports - From track&field, basketball, American Football, etc, etc, AA are well represented.

5) Media

6) Visual Arts and dance -

7) Gastronomy -


etc, etc.

So to say AA lack culture, which area of cultural life are you referring to?

NIGERIA IS A SEEDY, FUNKY, DUSTY, DANGEROUS AND DEPRESSIONLY DREARY PLACE!!!!
