This is why America is so blessed:

If you love America, please join this forum:

http://www.stormfront.org/forum/

Make sure you tell them you are black and you love America so much. Dont fail to join or fail to read their posts.

And that is the problem with brainless individuals like you; if I so wanted I could create an online forum that discriminates against and abuses any race I so choose. There is even a site where black Africans and black Americans wage verbal war against each other daily; ironically, that is the beauty of America: freedom. America is like the Bible in that anyone could make almost anything look bad by arguing in a particular context, while neglecting the overall advantages of America. It is illegal to discriminate in God's own country on the basis of, at least, one of race, gender, age, nationality, disability, and religion.

Of course you can be a racist in your own home, but you cannot use it to discriminate publicly lest you face the wrath of the law. And what about tribalism in Nigeria? The fact still remains that not all Nigerians are tribalistic just like not all Americans are racist.

I am guessing that you are not in Nigeria; if I am right then you would be amongst many hypocritical Nigerians who religiously find faults with their adoptive western homes, but have refused to go back to their former homes which they think are better.

From your reaction and reply, all can see that I was right about, at least, one thing: your vacuum endowed brain. Is this what you call an intelligent reply? So if I had lived in America for more than five years, or if I had been born here, my argument would have had more integrity? Skipping medication is not a good thing, honey!

My my my. I will be wasting time if i spend all my time telling you that you can never be a first class citizen in America. Like live your whole life in the house of a white man, you cant. You have only been there five years and he goes, i am a first class citizen in America because i went to one of the best schools.

LOL. That is how to define a first class citizen?

Honestly, you must have woken up on the wrong side of bed when you wrote that, so i beg, go back to sleep.

You are black, and thus you are never going to be a first class citizen in America, take it or leave it. Go and check out the definition of a first class citizen, you dont fall in that class. Never going to.

Take the whole population of the U.S and dump them in Nigeria.

While in Nigeria you will see the yanks doing things that Nigeria has been unable to do since Oct 1st 1960. Like constant power.

Quote from CAP28 in Reference to a post by Mandingo who alleges
that in his view african-americans have  more in common with white people than black african,
Please check the post on this thread, Page 12


cap28:

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  grin grin grin 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.

OH MY WORD, IT IS FUTILE TO TRY AND FIGHT AGAINST AN INTELLIGENT GUY
LIKE CAP28, IGNORANT/RASH PEOPLE BE WARNED!!!

Cap28, i was beginning to think for a minute that Mandingo was a sensible guy, but when i went through some of his post , he seems to be on a "bitter self hatred tip",  


CAP28 KEEP ON EDUCATING US ON THIS BOARD,  I LOVE IT!!!
I WISH WE HAD MORE PEOPLE HERE LIKE U TO DISPERSE KNOWLEDGE

america was started by religious people in case you forgot.


west africa has long been hazardous for europeans due to the climate, and that's why they didnt settle in the place in large numbers like they did in southern africa.

so your claims are quite doubtful.
Re: Why Is America So Blessed? by Nobody: 3:13pm On Oct 22, 2010
excellent point @ tpia

@topic: I think African people deserve much more credit than they are given. I mean, there are basic human rights issues that are violated and all I am saying is ONLY IN THAT should America be used as a platform. AGAIN: America has its flaws but it still for the most part abide by its basic constitutional laws. But don't get it twisted, Africa is NOT "under developed" at all it's just black and white people represent two different cultures. We contrast in EVERY way from physical to mentality. Here's what I am getting to by mentioning black and white:

Remember most African nations - black countries for the matter- only know independance since the 1960s! So if you take a land that was already populated by people who self governed themselves and then drop foreign ppl of a totally different creed, in who used the naive native peoples to dominate and keep each other down after 100s of years of brainwashing you cannot expect the indigenous ppl to be "up to standards" in ONLY 30 odd years! Theres much to be cleaned up after centuries of oppression and detrimental "happenings" due to imperialism. Africans already had their beliefs/systems of gov.t from Animistic clans to the Egyptian/ Kushite Amen-Ra fearing empires so it's most likely they would refer to that lifestyle mixed with the foreign ways pushed on them which due to the contrast creates an awkward imbalance. So this is the reason for lets say Liberia's brutal history and wars which include Juju/ voodoo inspired "cross dressing" while killing and cannibalism being perpetrated by men who would wear 3 piece suits and be able to have an intelligent dialogue with you. The world recognises the contrast in culture which is why this strikes them (and I'll admit myself initally) as an ODD oxymoron because we are being tought that one culture must go, I am saying both can coexist within Africa but with dignity.

Africa is a "not so great" fusion of indigenous and imperialistic cultures. Dictators Mobutu and Idi Amin are prime examples of this. Their ancestors were conquered and their tribal wars capitalized to create further division (this was done solely to prevent uprising). So when they (Mobutu and Amin) were finally given the chance to reign the first thing they did was use the torture methods of the Europeans to oppress their rival tribes rather than see themselves as struggling together and to rise as a black race. Instead they purchased luxury cars, homes and villas not to mention spent money on high class p.rostitutes and security while ignoring the famine and tribalism plaguing the society. Meanwhile their white former oppressors used the bloodshed to highlight via CNN and the likes that "this is why these negros needed us in the first place!" because white ppl were able to master the "look out for our own but be smart" method. We have yet to. I refer back the first line that "Africans deserve much more credit" after all of that to say that Africa has suffered far great than anyother land on this planet Earth and yet Africa stil has it's foundation, after attempt after attempt to cripple Africa it still stands because there are still Africans who believe in rights and equal justice many of whom die for that. The only thing is each black/ African country has to figure out how to rule itself without prejudice in terms of religion and tribe IF AND ONLY IF they wish to be part of the "western" world/ international community; MASTER THAT AND I SWEAR Africa will be a super power as a continent! - an international attraction!

I disagree, his claims are not doubtful at all.

@manmustwac (lol, funny name), I agree with you. The truth is bitter but we should not lie to ourselves because we want to appear as patriotic or 'proudly nigerian'. I too have often told my friends that if you transfer nigeria's citizens to a western country such as the US, and then transfer that country's citizens to nigeria, wait just one year. Nigeria would turn around within that one year and all the infrastructures and amenities and other basic indices of development will almost miraculously work perfectly according to what the 'new' american inhabitants were previously used to. But on the other hand, nigerians would ruin their new territory (USA) within that one year. To put it simply, if americans were transfered to nigeria and nigerians were transfered to USA, in the space of one year USA would become nigeria and nigeria would become USA - in terms of physical and socio-economic development. I am 100% sure of this. As it applies to nigeria so it applies to other BLACK african and caribbean countries. The ONLY totally black country in the world that is almost as developed as europe and america without white input is Botswana (their per capita income rivals some european countries). South africa's so called development is entirely as a result of the past and present contributions of their white population - their blacks are even worse than nigerians, very violent, lazy and unproductive. In essense, there is no need to be defensive about our terribly pathetic situation, or to keep blaming slave trade or colonialism. We as nigerians and africans need to sit down, tell ourselves the truth, and jointly find solutions to our serious problem. We claim to be too religious but we are not at all godly.

Back to the topic, I am still expecting more relevant opinions as regards why america seems to be number 1 in everything. There is no need lamenting or denying that they are blessed - everything clearly points to the fact that they are superior to the rest of the world economically, militarily, and in terms of socio-cultural influence. No need debating that. The real question remains, why is the country so blessed?

You are too defeatist. Your main problem is that you are comparing a work in progress with a completed article. Imagine the very unwise stereotype you have of black south Africans a people that only attained independence less than 2 decades ago after more than a century of brutal subjugation!!!

However I am not interested  discussing or eulogizing America on a Nigerian forum as that is simply  not the way to go rather we should look inwards and shed aspects on those aspects of our culture that impede development and progress.

Funny how this thread has been taken over by atheists like manmustwack with his quite myopic views. They have no faith themselves but surprisingly love attacking those with faith.

Seriously I don't know why you're off on a tangent with these wild views. Consider the sheer size of America . About 50 times that of Nigeria and with a very fertile land and temperate climate. These factors have enabled American companies to enjoy tremendous competitive advantage by their exploitation of low cost- high volume manufacturing.

At the end of the day though development is not about physical structures per se but rather the development of human capital . The extent to which human capital can be developed in a country is of course constrained by the culture and tradition as well as the sheer quantum of financial resources available and expended per head. However proper development of human capital would in turn lead to the development and efficient maintenance of the required physical and social infrastructure.

Lol. We are always quick to offer explanations or theories about why we remain stagnated as a people and as a race in comparison to to the developed countries like USA: if its not size, it is the weather (lol); if its not slave trade it is colonialism. And we then explain away our deplorable condition and failures with vague theoretical rationalizations and excuses. But at the end of the day these do not satisfactorily answer the question of why we are so backward. That is why you see all our 'paper' professors and intellectuals talking dust and proffering recommendations upon recommendations in this or that policy dialogue or conference.

But don't get it twisted, Africa is NOT "under developed" at all it's just black and white people represent two different cultures. We contrast in EVERY way from physical to mentality. Here's what I am getting to by mentioning black and white:


The negative portrayal of africa  to the rest of the world  is no coincidence - there is an agenda behind it and that agenda is to misinform and keep blacks all over the world DIVIDED. 

the western media uses negative images of africa to evoke feelings of embarrassment and shame in the minds of  african americans and carribean people .  In doing this the african americans and carribeans feel no inclination to learn about their ancestral home.  It is all part of the grand plan by the white supremacist to keep blacks divided and full of hatred, contempt and scorn for each other.  Only the intelligent blacks who refuse to be hoodwinked by the white supremacist's agenda and prefer to find out the truth for themselves ever discover the truth.

Isnt it strange how despite africa's percieived poverty, disease and relentless wars the whites continue to remain on the african continent reaping huge profits by way of their multinational corporations, if africa were such a basket case why have shell bp, exxon mobil, chevron, elf, citibank, etc been on the african continent exploiting its natural resources for well over 50 years?

Nigeria provides close to 20% of america's crude oil supply and this figure is set to increase by 2015 so you see nigeria is an important trading partner with the US, but in the same breath the US and their corporate media continue to spread misinformation, half truths and ommissions about Nigeria.
What they dont tell you is the central role that they have played in the destabilisation of the african continent, they dont tell you how they use the CIA to stage coup d etats to remove leaders who refuse to comply with their negative agendas and install puppet collaborators who open up their countries to exploitation, plunder and wholesale robbery of their natural resources.  They dont tell you about the billions of dollars worth of arms they sell to these same african collaborators so that these collaborators can crush and repress anyone who dares to rise up against this tyranny.

In the 1970's the then US national security adviser (henry kissinger) drafted a memo stating that certain countries posed a threat to the US's national interests because of their huge manpower supply and vast natural resources, nigeria was one of the countries on that list.  The name of the memo is NSSM 200, various recommendations were made in this memo to stagnate the political and economic development of those countries using various covert methods.   Among some of the suggestions were: war, famine, biological warfare (HIV aids), forced sterilisation or population control,  withdrawal of economic aid or loans.  You might ask why would america seek to undermine the economic and political stability of certain countries, i'll tell you why - to ensure that america could continue to have access to an unlimited supply of cheap raw materials without any challenge from opposition groups.  If you reduce the population of a country that you're exploiting - you have less opposition from the indigenous people of those countries to contend with.

The long term goal was to ensure these weakened countries would not be in a position to challenge the wholesale plunder and pillage of their natural resources by the american multinationals.

Africa has been in a constant struggle to throw off the yoke of colonialism.  The misconception that is made is that africans were the white man's burdern, that the white man came to africa to enlighten and civilise the heathen and primitive africans - anyone who beleives that deserves to be kept in perpetual bondage.  The white man came to africa to seek trade and profit, slavery was all about trade and profit.  Colonialism was also about trade and profit, and now neo colonialism is also about trade and profit.  At no time has the white race ever been interested in anything other than retaining their position of economic and political dominance on the world stage.  The white man is prepared to destroy the entire world if he cannot hold on to his position of power.  Why do you think he built the nuclear  bomb?  Why do you think he dropped two bombs on Japan? Why do you think he wanted to drop another one on China when china killed thousands of US troops in the korean war?  Why do you think america's arms budget for 2010 is $1 trillion? 

Amin and Mobutu are just a few in a long line of US and british trained, armed and funded western puppets.  Ever heard of Abacha, Babangida, Gowon?  these are all former nigerian british backed dictators - Nigeria is a country which has been hijacked by western funded puppets who act in collusion with western financiers (IMF and world bank) and multinational corporations to keep the masses down.

What the western media dont tell you though is that there are well intentioned african leaders who try to lead their country in the right direction by rejecting foreign exploitative economic policies like: Patrice Lumumba, Kwame Nkrumah, Thomas Sankara and Robert Mugabe. 

Mugabe succeeded in defeating a racist aparthied govt that was intent in holding on to Zimbabwe (formerly known as rhodesia) he fought the british to a compromise agreement in 1980 and was allowed to rule subject to certain conditions.  The conditions were that the white farmers should be allowed to retain ownership of the farmland they stole from the indigenous blacks and the blacks would be allowed to gradually buy back this land but only if the whites were willing to sell!!! this situation was to carry on over a 10 year period (1980 to 1990).  At the end of this period whites in zimbabe who make up only 2% of the population were still in control  of  60% of the arable land.  It was for this reason that mugabe decided to amend zimbabwe's constitution and begin the fast track process which would speed up the process of land being returned to its rightful owners.  If you were to rely on the western media's account of this story you would think that the whites were the rightful owners of the land while the indigenous zimbabweans were the racist thiefs who stole and appropriated the land.

Africa is a "not so great" fusion of indigenous and imperialistic cultures. Dictators Mobutu and Idi Amin are prime examples of this. Their ancestors were conquered and their tribal wars capitalized to create further division (this was done solely to prevent uprising). So when they (Mobutu and Amin) were finally given the chance to reign the first thing they did was use the torture methods of the Europeans to oppress their rival tribes rather than see themselves as struggling together and to rise as a black race. Instead they purchased luxury cars, homes and villas not to mention spent money on high class p.rostitutes and security while ignoring the famine and tribalism plaguing the society. Meanwhile their white former oppressors used the bloodshed to highlight via CNN and the likes that "this is why these negros needed us in the first place!" because white ppl were able to master the "look out for our own but be smart" method. We have yet to. I refer back the first line that "Africans deserve much more credit" after all of that to say that Africa has suffered far great than anyother land on this planet Earth and yet Africa stil has it's foundation, after attempt after attempt to cripple Africa it still stands because there are still

Africans who believe in rights and equal justice many of whom die for that. The only thing is each black/ African country has to figure out how to rule itself without prejudice in terms of religion and tribe IF AND ONLY IF they wish to be part of the "western" world/ international community; MASTER THAT AND I SWEAR Africa will be a super power as a continent! - an international attraction!

the 53 nations of africa are artificial constructs which were created by our former colonial masters.  In some of these countries you have over 200 ethnic groups forced to live in supposed unity despite differences in culture, religion etc.  this is the reason why there is so much volatility in africa today.  We were set up to fail, various groups were thrown together and pitted against each other.  Nigeria is  a country made up of over 200 different ethnic groups we were not supposed to be one country but under british occupation our borders were redrawn and  we were forced into the artifical country known today as nigeria. 
The hausa fulani of northern nigeria were chosen by the british to rule over the southern nigerians.  The british preferred the northerners because they were not agitating for independent rule, infact many of them wanted the british to remain, the british saw them as being easier to control and less independent minded.  The southerners on the other hand were seen as independent minded, intelligent and nationalistic in their outlook - as a result the british decided to hand power to the north before their departure.

Our so called independence was a sham as it was marred by election rigging, the british knew who would win before the results were announced, power effectively had been transferred from our colonial masters and handed over to their house boys who continue to retain that position to date.

In the 1960s the igbos of eastern nigeria faced persecution, lynching and other atrocities from the hausa fulani in the north.  Since our security could no longer be guaranteed within this fake contraption we decided to secede from the rest of nigeria, the british did not want this because all of nigeria's oil reserves were in the area which was under our control. In order to prevent the secession the british armed the hausa fulani who invaded the seceded land - this led to a civil war which lasted for 3 years and led to the death of 3 million igbos.

The northerners then went on to appropriate all of the land containing oil reserves.

The british deliberately set us up to fail, their aim which continues to date is to continue to exploit our oil reserves using their northern hausa fulani collaborators, anyone who gets in the way of this arrangement gets crushed. 

Divide and rule tactics are the blue print of white supremacy, their media tell you that we are a savage primitive people who kill and maim our own people but they dont tell you that they are the architects of the mayhem that currently exists all over africa today. 

Divide and rule tactics is what keeps the white man in business, as long as africans cannot unite the european will continue to use and abuse us.

@ Cap that was beautifully written. I am IMPRESSED. Divide and Conquer is definitely a white man's nature the only thing is even after all that they have done to EVERY race (even their own) it's like people never seem to cease falling for their trap. Sad!

I am WELL aware of what has been done to Africa and how artificial the flags, the national mottos and even the name of the countries are however now that that has happened I want to know how can Africa go on from that? What will it take for Africans to realize that the beef is no longer amongst tribes but that we as a race of people are being targeted? undecided Nothing saddens me more than to see Igbo vs. Yoruba, Krahn vs. Mandingo, Tutsi vs. Hutu and the white man just standing there watching the mess happen with his hands on his belly grinning angry and yet those same fighting tribes KNOW he is the cause of the havoc but are still killing themselves to be amongst his kind.
