I think Inter ethnic marriages shouldn't be frowned upon, and it should be left as a choice, not as an obligation


It is your view that is the genesis of the problems of this world

Too much attachment to Cultural identity leads to a form of superiority complex and tribalism in the world, which has also led to genocides in the past (Nazi Germany and the Armenian genocide)

If they had in laws from there, they would have been less likely to commit genocide against them

How does intertribal marriage preserve culture?
What then is your identity if you are from different places at the same time?
Discouraging intertribal marriage IS NOT EQUAL TO tribalism. Tribalism has nothing to do with that, it's a mindset and you can still be a tribalist even in an intertribal marriage like the example i sited in the OP.

The bolded is what is going to destroy the West. The Asians understand the importance of protecting their values. This is why China will become the next world power.
It is political correctness. We can never be united, we are different people, @the tower of babel unity of the human race was discouraged by "separating their tongues". Its suicidal to try to unite everybody in the name of being politically correct.
We can only interact BUT OUR UNIQUENESS MUST BE PRESERVED. Not trying to "mingle" and intermarry thereby losing our identity.

So you know about the Armenian holocaust. Thumbs up. But please revisit the claims of the six million holocaust Jewish genocide by the Nazis. Google is your friend. Cheers

The bolded. If Isrealited continued marrying Hittites what would have happened to them?
Hittites would lose their culture offcourse to the Isrealites. Cause and effect. See?

Identity is identity. Wherever you want to claim.
If we all keep marrying fron other places it would get to a point most of us wouldn't even know where we are from.

you are a victim of "revised history"... the religion of b:lack people is sun worship...

the religion of Yorubas is not worship of Sango or Ogun but the worship of Olorun... In 95% of b:lack ethnic groups in Africa, the name of the sun and the name of god/goddess are the same... so all Africans knew the sun as god/goddess... till date people worship "the most high", the one that is the same today, yesterday and in future...

since I've been alive only the sun hasn't aged a day, only the sun is the highest point in the world, only the sun is omnipresent and only the sun will see the last day...

PataAlhaja:
I think the OP has a point.

As a proud Yoruba nigger, if at all, I consider marriage sometimes in the future, she just has to be Yoruba. Kids are closer to their Moms and I would love to raise 100% Yoruba kids, with 100% Yoruba names and inclinations ... kids who would learn the Yoruba language, culture and ways from their Mom and I ...

Besides, I love speaking the Yoruba language so much. So getting married to a "Non-Yoruba" is definitely not an option.

No apologies ... My life, my choice.

Life's too short, you know. Igba o lo bi orere, Aiye o tan lo bi opa ibon!

LordKO:
@OP

You have a parochial definition of culture. As far as I am concerned, culture isn't the way the dead lived and did their things, but how the living chooses to live and do their things. .

I'm too liberal for culture or any other trivial thing to inhibit me from marrying any lady that tickle my fantasy.

Chukazu:


Never say never... The day you meet the one you love, her tribe would be the last thing on your mind, talking from experience

It's the mindset that your tribe is superior to another, is what makes you want to cling to your tribe.

God did not create any tribe, God created humans in his image, but we what want to recreate God In the image of our Tribes

deedeedee1:

Marry from your tribe so your children will appreciate their culture. I have seen many children born from intertribal marriages that are either here or their. Most even tend to love their mother's side more.
If you are a man, my advise is for you to marry someone from your tribe.
Only fools marry people outside their tribe

The holocaust was an undeniable event, a shameful event

The only people who don't believe that are mostly some Muslims, or will I say Arabs who don't like the Israelis.
The accounts are there, the Gas chambers were (and still are) there, eye witness account, and even holocaust survivors narrated the story


So indeed, there was a holocaust

deedeedee1:
My child will never try that. They will be raised well. His tribe matters most.

Mujtahida:

Sighs, I understand where you coming from and how your mind has been shaped. It would take time but if you are curious enough one day you will come to see a different perspective. I ain't a Muslim.
But for starters and as I write it Google it :the number of persons claimed to have been gassed at Auschwitz as depicted on the plaque at the site was reduced from 4 million to less than 2 million in the 90's as a result of the Ernst Zundel trials of 85(the evidence of the foremost Jewish holocaust historian was torn to shreds by Doug Christie, lawyer to Ernst Zundel) and 88
Google Red Cross data on the total number of jews that were killed in the camps.
There's no single evidence for the gassing of the Jews. None! Zilch. The gas chambers shown were constructed after the war.
Are you aware that questioning the veracity of the holocaust is a crime in 17 countries in Europe. Why? The truth fears no investigation, not so?
The popular Anne Frank's diary has been proven by Robert Faurisson to be forgeries.
I could go on and on and on. But Google is your friend. I am not a Muslim. Never been and would never be.
Download 'Tell the truth and shame the Devil' written by Gérard Menuhin (son of Yehudi Menuhin great Jewish violinist of the 20th Century) So many books I can refer you to sha. Cheers

Kwara is not an example, Kwara is the way it is because the Fu:lanis attacked the Yorubas in Kwara who at the time were fighting the B:ritish in Lagos and fighting an intra-tribal war so the Yorubas fought on three fronts, the Yorubas realised the intra-ethnic war was pointless and decided to split and attack the f:ulanis, the f:ulanis were killed and were pushed out of Kwara and were almost over-run by the Yorubas but at that point the B:rits called a truce, and since they probably had better firepower and there were Yoruba traitors an agreement btw the f:ulanis and Yorubas was signed and the f:ulanis were allowed back into kwara by the b:ritish who installed an emir there because they wanted to make sure the Yorubas were subjugated..

the same thing repeated itself during the 1967 civil war but the b:ritish never called a truce because the two major southern Nigerian tribes were at war with each other... I still don't understand why the I:gbos stopped attacking the f:ulanis and started to attack the SW.. but the Yorubas over-ran the eastern region and then the british had successfully used the igbos to change the constitution and create disharmony btw southern Nigerian tribes and again installed a f:ulani president..

In summary, kwara happened because the people with better deadly weapons favoured a particular ethnic group and till today in each African country there is always a "favoured" ethnic group...

the b:ritish could have stopped the civil war but they didn't because the ethnic group they favored was no longer been attacked, remember the biafran currency was Pounds... so Biafra itself is a b:ritish creation so igbos can never be supported to attack the f:ulanis but the Yorubas..

Ugosample:


So are you telling me that the holocaust never happened?

Na wa o

Extermination of the Jews was a state sanctioned policy of the Nazi government under Hitler.
Hitler made it clear from day 1.
Why did hundreds of thousands of jews flee to the USA?

Or are you saying that Hitler was hallucinating?

One may argue that maybe not up to 6 million were killed, but to say it never happened is just unbelievable.

tintingz:
Dumb post. False history.

Go and read how Afonja allied with the Fulanis to take over Alaafin.

The Fulanis were already settlers in kwara state not by war but hosted by Afonja.

I was having a discussion with a few friends yesterday. I told them emotions aside, intertribal marriages shouldn't be ENCOURAGED.
..
Why? To preserve our culture, our identity is in our culture. I know alot of products of intertribal marriages that are torn between the question of identity.
I once read where a lady from an intertribal marriage said her mom insisted she married her own tribe as against her dad's.
In many intertribal homes there is this cultural neutrality, and many times there's a power play on the kids among the two in-laws.
Even the bible doesn't encourage intertribal marriage, remeber the instructions Abraham gave to his servant and the fact that Jesus was sent to the jews ONLY initially.
Have you wondered why the Chinese and Koreans do not marry outside their race, why do you think there is that cultural cohesion and reverence with them anywhere they go.
...
My take is INTERTRIBAL MARRIAGES SHOULDN'T BE ENCOURAGED.
What's your take? Please be factual and intelligent DO NOT APPEAL TO EMOTIONS.

**modified**
Alot of people are saying "culture evolves". Yes cultures evolve. But fundamentals like identity remains same.
Culture evolves. Identity doesn't. The fact that the Yorubas believe they descended from Oduduwa is UNIQUE TO THEM ALONE AND CAN NEVER EVER EVOLVE.

There is nothing like cultural preservation (Except in the sense of historical artifacts), culture changes and evolves are we do.

If we had insisted on using clay tablets to write because that was our cultural way of writing, do you think you would be typing on that device right now? though the device is a Samsung "tablet" it is not a clay "tablet." meaning we have evolved from the culture of using clay tablets to Samsung tablets.

Bibidear:

its a big factor,my dad's sis even married an Esan man she is also having issues,marriage is a life time commitment. I will never make that mistake of marrying from another tribe
