[s] I do not think the author says racism is okay. Racism is definitely not okay!But it already exists. Human beings are prejudiced. What could be our most effective weapon against this problem of racism that already exists? The author's solution is that we should put our house in order.

If your house is not in order you will have a bad reputation. There is no running away from that. People are prejudiced and will keep looking out for reasons to justify their prejudice. Our notoriety for corruption and lawlessness gives the prejudiced the justification they seek, and frankly makes some of those non-racists who are higher on the anxiousness scale to make rational decisions for their safety.

Put your house in order and people will have little choice but to respect you more. Will that end racism? Probably not. Will that reduce racism? Very likely. Most importantly, will the lives of the members of your household improve? Most definitely. [/s]

Inferiority complex opinion

victorvezx:

U agree with that fool? He just stated and believes white people are superior

Abbeyme:
Racism is everywhere.
Even here in Nigeria

victorvezx:

Trash as usual. Africa has problems, but that does not justify why white people should disrespect and be racist towards us. U are the kind of black person black Americans call House negro.

GiantParrot:


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.

Nobody hate black people. They are just viewed as inferior. Black people are believed to be closer to Apes. I wonder why I rarely see Asians complain about racism. The whites believe Asians are more intelligent than they are. Japan, China, South Korea, and even North Korea are technologically advanced. Their countries are extremely rich. The Asians have immense love for their culture and language. There is no respect for the black man at all. You want to know why? Because Africa, the origin of the black man is ensnared in famine, poverty, and underdevelopment. Another reason for this is because they created the countries we live in and we rever their language at the expense of ours. We must accept the fact that for black people to regarded and respected by other races, we must build Africa. But how can we build Africa when we have country like Nigeria that is filled with tribalism, hate, religion intolerance and killings? We should split Nigeria so that tribes that are compatible can live and grow together. The only way police brutality against African-Americans will stop is when we begin to have our Japan, China and Singapore in Africa. That is when the 'superior' whites will give Africans and her descendants respect.
This is my take

I don't blame u sha, E dey ur head

I disagree with the first statement that nobody hates black people.
Black people hate themselves first, followed by every other race on this planet.
We are hated because of our potential and what we have given this world, yes, black people gave this world a lot.
But I really don't understand the hatred for each other.. Evident here on nairaland with the afonja, Igbo abuses we witness daily.

[s] 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. [/s]

Everyday I feel like to stop visiting nairaland because of the Afonja,Igbo and other rubbish that comes out of the mouth of the so called youths. Nigeria racism/tribalism level is bigger than that of Eastern Europe or some other white countries.

Giddymoney:


Here in Nigeria, we have tribalism, we see other tribes as shit, this is common among the igbo folks, whenever they see an Hausa person, what you hear is ONYE HAUSA.

And now when they travel outside and the whites does the same they starts shouting RACISM upandan

It is nauseating the amount of bigoted comments I come across daily. White people cannot believe the level of hatred we show each other.infact they are shocked at how depraved we are towards each other.

BlackManta:


Dont mind them.
So because Africa the home of black race is not doing well, that gives people the right to be racist

There is no justification for racism.
Africa may be bad but that doesn't give a white man the right to spit on me.

We are humans before RACE classified US.
Humanity must be considered before race.

Optional09:
Well, you should have used your GPS to safe yourself that drama and if you are a frequent traveler you should know there is always service center between 20 to 30m on I-95 and 75.

Have you experienced “nice racism” that’s the type that frightened me the most.

Nice racism is when a white person act so nice to you...not knowing he or she had just called the police on you

Nowenuse:


Stay there and keep on writing sermons.

It is natural for people to look down on those they feel better than. It is a universal practice, it can never be enliminated. It's effects can only be reduced..

victorvezx:

Arabs do not not go through the same disrespect black people go through in America or Europe, even when most Arabs countries are nothing to write home about. Their skin colour keeps it at the bearable minimum. Look at how the Libyans are treating black people as inferior beings only fit to be slaves even when Nigeria and most black African country is far better than war-torn Libya. Look at how Lebanese treat black people both in Nigeria and in Lebanon even when their country is nothing to write home about. They can't treat a white man or an Indian like this. It all boils down to skin colour. Once they are light skin, they automatically believe they are superior to other darker humans. They don't care about whether ur country is developed, because Nigeria is far more developed than the two countries I used as example, but yet this people still see us as inferior to them because we are darker.

BlackManta:


Yes Racism is good.
In fact Racism is very nice and every black man deserves it
If someone is inferior then it's perfectly okay to be racist on the person
Every black man deserves racism because Africa is not doing well
In fact more racism should fall on us
In sha Allah Amen.

Racism is justified

Racism is natural.

victorvezx:

The man has inferiority complex. We know black people like him that worship white people. It's no surprise the fool is married to a white woman. Am sure he considers her a trophy

Nowenuse:


Madness

dasparrow:


Most Nigerians are notorious for worshipping white people and excusing their racism. I really don't know why so many Nigerians suffer from inferiority complex. I don't even know where they got it from.

Many black Americans wish they had their own country so they won't have to deal with white people's racism anymore and here you have some Nigerian excusing rascism. Nigerians will learn.
