America is full of slaves. LOL, including sons and daughters of slaves. LOL

Any black person who sees America as home and looks down on Africa, and the African people, or the black person in diaspora, must be reminded who he or she is, a slave son or daughter, beaten and battered, seperated, hated, looked down upon and fed the white man's remnants, that person needs his head examined and his or her butt hole fried with pepper until he or she sees reality.

Any black man, outside AFRICA, REMAINS NOTHING BUT A SLAVE AND THE PRODUCT OF SLAVERY.  

That's cool  

some of us DO VERY WELL.  Ask your Nigerian brotheren.  I am an American.  A Black American.  I no NOTHING about Africa.  Other than the few Africans, I encounter that want so desperately to be the white man's lap dog.  

Life is suffering, What you CHOOSE to do to alleviate your suffering is on you.

I choose to LIVE, ABUNDANTLY!!!!!!

What is your culture?

African Americans (also referred to as Black Americans or Afro-Americans, and formerly as American Negroes) are citizens or residents of the United States who have origins in any of the black populations of Africa.[2] In the United States, the terms are generally used for Americans with at least partial Sub-Saharan African ancestry.

Most African Americans are the direct descendants of captive Africans who survived the slavery era within the boundaries of the present United States, although some are—or are descended from—immigrants from African, Caribbean, Central American or South American nations.[3] As an adjective, the term is usually spelled African-American.[4]

African-American history starts in the 17th century with indentured servitude in the American colonies and progresses onto the election of an African American as the 44th and current President of the United States—Barack Obama. Between those landmarks there were other events and issues, both resolved and ongoing, that were faced by African Americans. Some of these were slavery, reconstruction, development of the African-American community, participation in the great military conflicts of the United States, racial segregation, and the Civil Rights Movement.

Black Americans make up the single largest racial minority in the United States and form the second largest racial group after whites in the United States.[5]

Cultural influence in the United States
Further information: African American culture

The King & Carter Jazzing Orchestra photographed in Houston, Texas, January 1921From their earliest presence in North America, African Americans have contributed literature, art, agricultural skills, foods, clothing styles, music, language, social and technological innovation to American culture. The cultivation and use of many agricultural products in the U.S., such as yams, peanuts, rice, okra, sorghum, grits, watermelon, indigo dyes, and cotton, can be traced to African and African American influences. Notable examples include George Washington Carver, who created 300 products from peanuts, 118 products from sweet potatoes, and 75 from pecans; and George Crum, who invented the potato chip in 1853.[122]

African American music is one of the most pervasive African American cultural influences in the United States today and is among the most dominant in mainstream popular music. Hip hop, R&B, funk, rock and roll, soul, blues, and other contemporary American musical forms originated in black communities and evolved from other black forms of music, including blues, doo-wop, barbershop, ragtime, bluegrass, jazz, and gospel music.

African American-derived musical forms have also influenced and been incorporated into virtually every other popular musical genre in the world, including country and techno. African American genres are the most important ethnic vernacular tradition in America, as they have developed independent of African traditions from which they arise more so than any other immigrant groups, including Europeans; make up the broadest and longest lasting range of styles in America; and have, historically, been more influential, interculturally, geographically, and economically, than other American vernacular traditions.[123]

African Americans have also had an important role in American dance. Bill T. Jones, a prominent modern choreographer and dancer, has included historical African American themes in his work, particularly in the piece "Last Supper at Uncle Tom's Cabin/The Promised Land". Likewise, Alvin Ailey's artistic work, including his "Revelations" based on his experience growing up as an African American in the South during the 1930s, has had a significant influence on modern dance. Another form of dance, Stepping, is an African American tradition whose performance and competition has been formalized through the traditionally black fraternities and sororities at universities.[citation needed]

Many African American authors have written stories, poems, and essays influenced by their experiences as African Americans. African-American literature is a major genre in American literature. Famous examples include Langston Hughes, James Baldwin, Richard Wright, Zora Neale Hurston, Ralph Ellison, Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison, and Maya Angelou.

African American inventors have created many widely used devices in the world and have contributed to international innovation. Norbert Rillieux created the technique for converting sugar cane juice into white sugar crystals. Moreover, Rillieux left Louisiana in 1854 and went to France, where he spent ten years working with the Champollions deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics from the Rosetta Stone. Most slave inventors were nameless, such as the slave owned by the Confederate President Jefferson Davis who designed the ship propeller used by the Confederate navy.


Chuck Berry in Örebro, Berry is considered a pioneer of American Rock and roll
B.B. King is a blues guitarist and songwriter acclaimed for his expressive singing and guitar playing.By 1913 over 1,000 inventions were patented by black Americans. Among the most notable inventors were Jan Matzeliger, who developed the first machine to mass-produce shoes, and Elijah McCoy, who invented automatic lubrication devices for steam engines. Granville Woods had 35 patents to improve electric railway systems, including the first system to allow moving trains to communicate. Garrett A. Morgan developed the first automatic traffic signal and gas mask.[124]

Lewis Howard Latimer invented an improvement for the incandescent light bulb.[125] More recent inventors include McKinley Jones, who invented the movable refrigeration unit for food transport in trucks and trains. Lloyd Quarterman worked with six other black scientists on the creation of the atomic bomb (code named the Manhattan Project.) Quarterman also helped develop the first nuclear reactor, which was used in the atomically powered submarine called the Nautilus.[124]

A few other notable examples include the first successful open heart surgery, performed by Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, the air conditioner, patented by Frederick McKinley Jones. Dr. Mark Dean holds three of the original nine patents on the computer on which all PCs are based. More current contributors include Otis Boykin, whose inventions included several novel methods for manufacturing electrical components that found use in applications such as guided missile systems and computers, and Colonel Frederick Gregory, who was not only the first black astronaut pilot but the person who redesigned the cockpits for the last three space shuttles. Gregory was also on the team that pioneered the microwave instrumentation landing system. In 2000, Bendix Aircraft Company began a worldwide promotion of this microwave instrumentation landing system.[124]

Political legacy

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. remains the most prominent political leader in the American civil rights movement and perhaps the most influential African American political figure in general.African Americans have fought in every war in the history of the United States.[126]

The gains made by African Americans in the Civil Rights and Black Power movements not only obtained certain rights for African Americans, but changed American society in far-reaching and fundamentally important ways. Prior to the 1950s, Black Americans in the South were subject to de jure discrimination, or Jim Crow. They would often be the victims of extreme cruelty and violence, sometimes resulting in deaths: by the post WWII era, African Americans became increasingly discontented with their long-standing inequality. In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., African Americans and their supporters challenged the nation to "rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed that all men are created equal , "[127]

The Civil Rights Movement marked a sea-change in American social, political, economic and civic life. It brought with it boycotts, sit-ins, demonstrations, court battles, bombings and other violence; prompted worldwide media coverage and intense public debate; forged enduring civic, economic and religious alliances; and disrupted and realigned the nation's two major political parties.

Over time, it has changed in fundamental ways the manner in which blacks and whites interact with and relate to one another. The movement resulted in the removal of codified, de jure racial segregation and discrimination from American life and law, and heavily influenced other groups and movements in struggles for civil rights and social equality within American society, including the Free Speech Movement, the disabled, women, Native Americans, and migrant workers.

[size=18pt]Economic status [/size]

Oprah Winfrey, the wealthiest African American of the 20th century.[85][86][87] A pair of economists estimate that Winfrey's endorsement of Barack Obama delivered one million votes for him in the close 2008 Democratic primaries.[88]Economically, African Americans have benefited from the advances made during the Civil Rights era, particularly among the educated, but not without the lingering effects of historical marginalization when considered as a whole. The racial disparity in poverty rates has narrowed. The black middle class has grown substantially. In 2000, 47% of African Americans owned their homes. The poverty rate among African Americans has decreased from 26.5% in 1998 to 24.7% in 2004.[56] African Americans are the second largest consumer group in America with a combined buying power of over $892 billion currently and likely over $1.1 trillion by 2012.[89][90] In 2002 African American owned businesses accounted for 1.2 million of the US's 23 million businesses.[91]

In 2004, African American workers had the second-highest median earnings of American minority groups after Asian Americans, and African Americans had the highest level of male-female income parity of all ethnic groups in the United States.[92] Also, among American minority groups, only Asian Americans were more likely to hold white-collar occupations (management, professional, and related fields),[93] and African Americans were no more or less likely than European Americans to work in the service industry.[94] In 2001, over half of African American households of married couples earned $50,000 or more.[94] Although in the same year African Americans were over-represented among the nation's poor, this was directly related to the disproportionate percentage of African American families headed by single women; such families are collectively poorer, regardless of ethnicity.[94]

By 2006, gender continued to be the primary factor in income level, with the median earnings of African American men more than those black and non-black American women overall and in all educational levels.[95][96][97][98][99] At the same time, among American men, income disparities were significant; the median income of African American men was approximately 76 cents for every dollar of their European American counterparts, although the gap narrowed somewhat with a rise in educational level.[95][100]

Overall, the median earnings of African American men were 72 cents for every dollar earned of their Asian American counterparts, and $1.17 for every dollar earned by Hispanic men.[95][98][101] On the other hand by 2006, among American women with post-secondary education, African American women have made significant advances; the median income of African American women was more than those of their Asian-, European- and Hispanic American counterparts with at least some college education.[96][97][102]

African Americans are still underrepresented in government and employment. In 1999, the median income of African American families was $33,255 compared to $53,356 of European Americans. In times of economic hardship for the nation, African Americans suffer disproportionately from job loss and underemployment, with the black underclass being hardest hit. The phrase "last hired and first fired" is reflected in the Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment figures. Nationwide, the October 2008 unemployment rate for African Americans was 11.1%,[103] while the nationwide rate was 6.5%.[104]

The income gap between black and white families is also significant. In 2005, employed blacks earned only 65% of the wages of whites, down from 82% in 1975.[56] The New York Times reported in 2006 that in Queens, New York, the median income among African American families exceeded that of white families, which the newspaper attributed to the growth in the number of two-parent black families. It noted that Queens was the only county with more than 65,000 residents where that was true.[31]

In 1999, the rate of births to unwed African American mothers was estimated by economist Walter E. Williams of George Mason University to be 70%.[105] The poverty rate among single-parent black families was 39.5% in 2005, according to Williams, while it was 9.9% among married-couple black families. Among white families, the comparable rates were 26.4% and 6%.[106]

According to Forbes magazine's "wealthiest American" lists, a 2000 net worth of $800 million dollars made Oprah Winfrey the richest African American of the 20th century; by contrast, the net worth of the 20th century's richest American, Bill Gates, who is of European descent, briefly hit $100 billion in 1999. In Forbes' 2007 list, Gates' net worth decreased to $59 billion while Winfrey's increased to $2.5 billion,[107] making her the world's richest black person.[86][108] Winfrey is also the first African American to make Business Week's annual list of America's 50 greatest philanthropists.[109] BET founder Bob Johnson was also listed as a billionaire prior to an expensive divorce and as of 2009, had an estimated net worth of $550 million.[110] Winfrey remains the only African American wealthy enough to rank among the country's 400 richest people.[107] Some black entrepreneurs use their wealth to create new avenues for both African Americans and new opportunities for American business in general. Examples such as Tyler Perry who created new filming studios in Atlanta, Georgia which makes it possible to film movies and television shows outside of California.[111]

Health

Ben Carson (left) being announced as a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House on June 19, 2008.African Americans continue to have lower life expectancies on average than whites in the United States. Even when adjusted for age, African Americans are 1.6 times more likely to die from one of the 10 leading causes of death in the United States than European Americans.[112] However, there is evidence that this may be changing: by 2003, sex had replaced race as the primary factor in life expectancy in the United States, with African American females expected to live longer than European American males born in that year.[113]

In the same year, the gap in life expectancy between American whites (78.0) and blacks (72. had decreased to 5.2 years, reflecting a long term trend of this phenomenon.[113] By 2004, "the trend toward convergence in mortality figures across the major race groups also continued", with white–black gap in life expectancy dropping to five years.[114] The current life expectancy of African Americans as a group is comparable to those of other groups who live in countries with a high Human Development Index.

I need to sponsor you a trip to Africa, even for two days, and i bet you, when you get back to America, you will be singing a different tune about Africa and the black race.

How do people talk so bland about a place and people they have not met? I have never been to Australia, and i will be foolish to talk about Australia and her people, not even judging by the few Australians i have had to work with somewhere else.

Nobody is comparing America's wealth to Africa's, but to talk so low about your descendants, her people and the place, speaks so much about who you are as a person.

You said we have different cultures, Africans and African Americans, how can that be?

If I as a Nigerian was born and bred in the UK, does it mean i no longer have the culture of a Nigerian? Come on, be reasonable or i will cut your manliness and use it to do experiment on how not to abuse the African man.

In Amerikka,

anybody can get this:

because their is plenty of this, LYING AROUND,

mandinfool

sometime i still wonder what hole u came out from

and then the white are even to pay up and over $30,000 to get a white kid

menhhhhhhhhhhhhhh mandingoinglllllllllllllllllllllllllllliyy u are loser and always remember that when u picture naija man walk by

What Africans FAIL to realize


is that Black Americans have more in common with their OPPPRESSOR.  The White man, THAN WITH AFRICANS.


personally, I feel more comfortable around White People (who I ignore) Than Africans (whose culture -I Cannnot get with)

I just showed u above^^^^^^Black Culture in Amerikka.

Understand it.,

Allow it to sink in.

Get with it.



All Black people DO NOT have the same CULTURE.  S. African and Nigerians DO NOT MIX.  Why?

different cultures

In Naija, anyone can buy more than what you have on display.

Cars are toys in Naija, my cars cost me $100k to purchase, so what u talking?

You can always get them on credit ! Is that the kind of life you live there and you are blabbing since ?

Thats why you hate Naija, because what you count as high price in America, are stuffs you see on a day to day basis in Naija.

What is a common Escalade Truck?

You must be a poor man.

Yorubas and Black Americans have something in common though. . . They are always getting in debt, because they like to buy things they cannot afford!

I'm tired of trading marginalized stories with Africans, Because at the end of the day.

We are all oppressed by the 1% that OWN and CONTROL everything.

and with that said, I'm off to a BOOTY CALL.

I'm bout to HURT SOMETHING.

Just as i thought - you desperately crave to be a white man - so in effect you are a self hating black man trapped in a black man's body thanks for letting us know, now i ask you this - what the hell are you doing on nairaland? why arent you trading stocks on the NYSE (if you can understand how it works) and amassing more of your supposed wealth- could it be because you are just another miserable, underemployed african american man earning minimum wage in some dead end job?

Okay so we have now established that you secretely love and admire whitey and would love nothing better if you could wake up tomorrow, look in the mirror and discover that you are now a white man who no longer has to walk around with the burden of being a black man in america, surely that means that the only reason that you have beef with white america is that you are resentful of the fact that you were born a black man and not because you beleive that the white supremacist system is unjust - how tragic!!

So youve got more in common with the white man who according to you you choose to ignore   than africans - wow im so impressed!!!

according to you - you and whitey both have the same culture - thats funny because the last time i checked white americans opted for complete and total separation from your communities - why is it that after the brown v board of education decision which permitted blacks to attend schools with white children the majority of whites went on a crazy rampage threatenting to kill, maim or beat blacks who dared to venture into their schools or neighbourhods , also explain to me why Kennedy had to call out federal troops to escort your african american people into white schools for their own security and protection.

You see what you are doing here is exposing just how desperate and pathetic you are, cant you get it through your thick skull that these people dont want you?  why are you begging people who hate you to accept you into their communities?  Why are  you pretending to have the same "culture" as people who handed down a second hand culture to you which you glorify, praise and pretend was something created out of your own ingenuity?

American culture is empty, false and based on immorality,greed, hatred and empty materialism and this is what people like you praise and aspire to.

You know what?  you deserve the hellish existence that you have been condemned to in america.

Tensor77: I've already researched and notice that you are into your religion. I did not say abortion should be for those who were careless.

There is NO need to bring children into the world to live like animals. It is ABSOLUTLEY wrong to give birth to a innocent life and take it to an orphanage for someone else to raise. All over the world children are abandoned on doorsteps, in market places. Children are placed inside of bags and discarded like trash, children are born and locked away, Children are born and molested before they can open their eyes, Children are left to starve. 

You can hype up your stance by using the word "butchering"; I will defend the argument I made and said it is wrong to carry a life into the world to suffer. A woman should not have to be reminded of her despoiler (sometimes more than one offender) nor the act of incest.  Do you really believe a child born out of despoil is really loved by the mother? ***I am now derailing the original topic. My apologies.

^^Well you are just plain wrong on this one. What gives you, or anyone else for that matter, the right to assess  another person's life and say they are not worthy of
living or to say they are living like animals?
And if people take it upon themselves to raise abandoned babies what is it to you and how does that affect your life?

However at a less emotional but more philosophical level, does all this talk about[b] global [/b] poverty and suffering  really matter at the end of the day?
{Of course we can and should as individuals help the poor and disadvantaged whenever we can}

Be that as it may, I'm very suspicious of Adolf Hitler types that would plan to turn the world into an utopia through the implementation of various kinds of revoltingly outlandish schemes.

We are all individuals, when all is said and done and each one of us had his or her time of birth and will also have his or her time of death.

Tensor77: When it comes to forums It's impossible to assume we know who a person is and what they do in their lives away from the computer.

You ask "what is it to you, and how does that affect your life", For starters my name is listed as a sitting board member of an organization that provides home and education for children. Said victims of one of the many cases I mentioned. My finances are taxed without mercy, It pays into the social services that provides for the medical, housing and feeding of the children born into poverty and misfortune. Therefore, it is my business and over 50 million other peoples business.

I am sure eveyone here has a list of things they would rather their tax money was not spent on. Again that list varies from individual to individual. Some are perfectly fine with funding the welfare needs of other citizens, some are not.
However my basic point remains that you cannot turn your own personal feelings about this issue into a global jihad against these kinds of births.
Who even knows the REAL UNDERLYING reasons for your supposed discomfort with these kind of births as distinct from the mundane reasons like having to pay extra  taxes or even more abstract reasons like because they affect global poverty statistics

Tensor777" "Real underlying" reasons? Jihad? I don't deal in terrorism!

I am a woman of compassion, its that plain and simple. My discomfort started early in life. It began when I first saw the commercials for Feed The Children. I was upset to see children with protruding bellies, and flies pitching on them all because they were orphans, dirt poor and HUNGRY.

It is my life goal to assist those without and if the cycle can be broken then that's the route I will take. And no, the majority don't want to pay an abundance in tax to aide & abett worthless and wanton behaviors. There is a large percent of females who get preganant and know the system well enough to know she'll get by at all times, and never work a day in her life except fi spread her crotches to tom, dick, and harry.

of course AAs have more in common with white americans [not the recent immigrants] than black africans.

you've both been living and coexisting together for over 400 years, for better for worse.

Mr. Cap please do not dignify his "Dunce-tardom" illness with a reply, I beg you. You are too good to indulge in childish bosom-for-tat with someone who clearly knows that truth but is now behaving ridiculously because to him this is now a game. Someone like him who is intelligent and at first was able to reason and now posting pictures of cars he's Googled just needs to good old silent treatment until he can use his testosterone and act like a man for once in his life.


LouisThoru I dont know who you thought you were amusing or entertaining when you made that bull-ish remark about:

"America is full of slaves. LOL, including sons and daughters of slaves. LOL

Any black person who sees America as home and looks down on Africa, and the African people, or the black person in diaspora, must be reminded who he or she is, a slave son or daughter, beaten and battered, seperated, hated, looked down upon and fed the white man's remnants, that person needs his head examined and his or her butt hole fried with pepper until he or she sees reality.

Any black man, outside AFRICA, REMAINS NOTHING BUT A SLAVE AND THE PRODUCT OF SLAVERY.

But let me inform you I am the product of Jamaican and African American slaves. I represent generations of Roses that have grown from concrete. Your comical view point on the separation, beating, and oppression of my ancestors ENLIGHTENS me on who you are and which role YOUR ancestors played. Theres NOTHING comical about a man going out to get food for his family only to find a net over his head and thrown on a ship NEVER to see his wife, children, parents or loved ones again. Nothing hilarious about a mother giving birth to her baby knowing that by the age of 5 that child will be ripped from her arms and sent to the market to be sold along with cattle, bread and land property a child she carried for 9 mo.s and whom she'll never see again. There's nothing AMUSING about being a young man and a father being held at gun point while being forced to watch a white man - if not a gang of white men- r.ape beat and torture his mother and/ or sisters. Or what about the grandfather who used to roam African land only to witness two generations later his grandson being lynched and his corpse later burned as his killers pose around his hanging body in celebration just because they "felt like killing a n.gger". You don't know how much you made my blood boil girl. I almost 'like' Mandingo's dunce self compared to you at this point because you know better. You don't have to care either.

There IS however total sadness when each of those people look back and remember that it was someone who looked like THEM who betrayed them often times someone they knew and TRUSTED. You see you? the difference between you and I is while I am a descendant of the slave, my conscience is clean. I can celebrate their lives and sacrifices made for me but you? Which role do you think YOU fall into? look down in your hands, I am certain if you look hard enough you can see the marks left behind from each net you used to fling over us, while finding it 'funny'. You and Mandingo are the SAME Africans who just so happen to end up in different paths. Both of you should be deeply ashamed of yourselves. You are both delighted at seeing the suffering of other blacks and find it easy to poke fun of, but as I SAID God don't like ugly and some of the problems central and west Africans faced and CONTINUE to face are DIRECT results of the slave trade, you're not invincible hunny and there's a blasted reason why YOU speak English, you were enslaved on your OWN land.

whats GOING ON IN BLACK BRITIAN.
while i sip my chai vanilla tea, Watch Football on my 50" HD Television, in my entertainment room the size of a nigerian HOUSE!

Mandingo you epitomize "bi.tch@ssness", crawl back in the hole from which you came. blasted fool. bout Nigerian house, you mean Nigerian dog house? because hunny some Nigerians are living such posh lifestyles once you see it you will want to break down and cry to how much it will put you to shame. Yu tan deh. You just keep typing junk on the public library computer and pray to God he allows you to reach safely to your apartment. The only tea you Americans drink is sweet tea LOL. (*Lord Please forgive me lol) I will leave you alone like I asked Cap to lol. But be off to your "booty call" but i think everyone will agree with me when I say we do not need you to advertise your homosexuality LMAO! ok i am being childish now. . .lol.

@Cap, let me correct you, NOT ONLY was Mr. Lumumba shot, he was then quartered and then diced, THEN those remains were soaked in acid, to this day there's only ONE remnant of Mr. Lumumba which is a tooth taken from the scene and is currently owned by a white former journalist in Belgium or London. Mr. Lumumba is one of my heros and I read soo many book about him NEVER once have i read a book or watched a documentary about his life and not cried. I cry like a baby. Not because of the actual way he met his death but because he DIED for his people and yet ppl like Mandingo take his sacrifice for a damn joke. Mandingo needs to change his NAME now, he's not worthy.
