victorvezx: Cold hard fact: as of today, based on group achievement, black people are by far the most inferior of all the races. No amount of emotional outburst can change that. The truth is there for even the most simple minded person to see. Could things change in future? who knows? Perhaps we could experiment by putting our house in order and checking the results. 1 Like |

victorvezx:Of course that should not justify racism but the truth is that is how the human mind works. When someone keeps behaving the way you don't like the natural impulse is for you to start hating the person. A lot of us hate Fulani herdsmen for all their atrocities. How would you feel if someone says it is not a justification for hating them? It would take someone with a great deal of good self conduct to accommodate those whose behaviour don't measure up to acceptable norms. Only few people posses this quality so we can't rely on that to stop racism. 3 Likes |

Bidobado: You correctly stated that black people are hated. But I disagree with the reason you gave for the hatred. It is obviously not because of our potentials or what we have given to the world. Rather, we are hated because of our underachievement. As the OP pointed out, the rest of the world will start having a positive impression of sub-saharan Africa if the African countries can start developing their countries like the Asians are doing. Respect is earned. We need to wake up and start making impact on science and technology. If you check out the STEM faculties of the major research universities in North America, the student and faculty make-ups rarely include blacks. Usually predominantly Asians from China, South Korea, Taiwan, India (of course) and the indigenes. Nigeria, with an abundance of natural resources and a large population, remains one of the poorest in the world. How can anyone respect or love us. We don't even seem to be able to run our country. |

poseidon12:Reason why I made that point is because throughout history, white people have sabotaged and continued to derail every positive attempt we make at moving forward. How many of our upright and sound leaders have been assassinated just because they refused to sell out. The fact is, the whole world does not want the black man to succeed but by God's grace (whatever God you serve) we will rise again. 3 Likes |

victorvezx: How can you say most Arab countries are nothing to write home about? Apart from Yemen, can you mention one Arab country that Nigeria is better than? Where did you put the likes of Qatar (with the highest Income per capital in the world)? Where did you put UAE (which has Dubai, constantly ranked the most beautiful city in the world)? What about Oman, Bahrain, Saudi & Kuwait? Even countries like Iraq with all the terrorism and wars is still better than Nigeria (the supposed giant of Africa). Can't you see how the arab speaking North Africa is far better than Sub saharan Africa? 1 Like |

dasparrow: It's not a matter of inferiority. Let us understand the message the man is trying to pass. Asians were also discriminated all over the west decades ago, today such hardly happens! Did Asians protest, cry, campaign, shout or raise their own shoulders high before the west started respecting them? No! So, what is it that these Asians did that made them earn the respect of the west? That is the message here. 3 Likes |

So, I've read 4 solid pages and no one has mentioned the words "white supremacy". Therein lies the major misunderstanding amongst most people. Most of you are wrong, but it's because you don't know any better. But i'll say this: you think white people are scared of blacks? Think again. Who makes atomic bombs, machines guns, weapons of mass destruction? Who bomb countries year in year out? Who does mass shootings and school shootings every now and then? So most of what you think is basically deception. That man is just one person, but as a collective, white people get on code. For everything you think blacks are guilty of, they are 5x more guilty. It has nothing to do with development, that's just nonsense. There are effects we blacks exhibit today as a result of centuries of slavery, etc. And it may equally take centuries to get over. But make no mistake thinking it's anything to do with how black people are. That's just nitpicking. You say Black Americans are lazy. Black Americans are the most progressive blacks on the planet and it's African blacks that go out there and suck on white zaddy's balls. I won't say anymore on a public forum but if anyone wants to engage in an intelligent conversation about this, hit me up. |

BlackManta: Make no mistake. I can never justify racism... All I'm saying is that it is an endemic trait in humans and even animals to look down on others they think they are better than. Yes, we can try to fight the outward effects of this discrimination, but we can never change the subconsciousness... I don't know how else to put this for you guys to understand me. The only way you can stop people from looking down on you completely is by proving these people wrong on the reasons why they look down on you! Take a class of children for example, the whole class will always make fun of the dull one... No matter how much the teacher tries to stop the other children from making fun of the dull one, the fact that that one is dull will still never leave their minds..... They may not laugh at the dull one again because they were cautioned by the teacher, however they will still discriminate him in other ways which the teacher may not be able to control, like no one would want to be his friend or play with him, no one would take him serious even if he has something important to say etc. Not until the day the dull one can disprove his mates and prove how bright he is, or at least excel in another area, the negative views about him will never change... It's nature, you can't fight it. 5 Likes |
