What are you on about.If you follow Beyonce you will know she always refer to herself as black.listen to her songs like black parade, formation and she just produced a film called black is king.Which people have kicked against black.When Obama was in office was he not referred to as the first black president,Do that not have black entertainment television(Bet) Black people still attend historical black colleges and universities(hbcu).if black is so offensive in america why do these organisations still have black in their name

You are perfectly right ... But the idea of black has been captured from the black that we all wanted instead of negro....those who worship the black , have captured black

Back to my curious question. Who told u u are black??

Nice way to dodge my points.

You are yet to answer my initial question. And you have failed to give us any logical explanation why calling yourself black affects you negatively, and why it should be brown instead.

tutudesz:

Do black is themselves has Africa America They prefer to be called Black American. Instead of African Lives Matter, they choose Black Lives Matter.

Those people are crazy, if they choose to call themselves Blacks then it should become their identity.

They are Black Americans if they wish.

See ethnic groups in South Africa as written in Wikipedia.

See how Asians are classified as Asian then Africans as Black African.
Europeans as White.
Some Asians like the Indians are darker than the people they call Blacks in Africa.

We are majority in Africa so we must have that African as our identity.

I know this is Wikipedia, it can be edited by anyone.
I won't be surprised if it was indigenous South African that wrote that.

Spit on Black people.
I'm not Black.

Akwaibomman, I think you being too harsh with your comment. I just watched the video where Pastor Chris talked about black on this thread and you just need to be open minded about the comment. Literally, he is right cos I have check a few dictionaries for the meaning of black and he is right. It was when slave traders and conquerors came to invade our lands that we were being referred to as blacks. It was a word used to describe us as inferior beings and everything negative that the word represents. Back then, it was a intentional derogatory word used especially for slaves. its was a word that stuck all through the slave era. Then many Africans didn't understand English but as the years goes by, cos we adopted other languages and their words used to describe us, we have long accepted what we are called but doesn't necessarily mean we are what they call us. Just as Aborigines aren't referred to as blacks and Red Indians who are the original natives of North America aren't referred to as whites. Egyptians are Africans but aren't black for most of them neither are they referred to as white either. Its a mental thing that we are accustomed to.



We are a people of color and have different skin pigmentations cos of where we come from and how we are born. Some say brown, some even say caramel, melanin, some are even albinos. If the word black is used, its because of how we are described and that should be important cos it is what eventually shapes and defines us, so if Pastor Chris disagrees that we should not accept it cos it is a wrong perspective of us, I agree with him. Pastor Chris see it as a racial comment and I agree with him cos other words similar to it like Niger (also often called as nigga), Negro are similar meaning as black. In fact, Wikipedia says the word black was coined from those words and if that's so and blacks refused to be called nigga or negro, what makes black different cos its the same meaning!

Am an African is am an African. An African can be brown, black, caramel, albino, melanin or even white as we have seen in the new age. An american is an american whether blue, white, black or red. When we begin to view the new world from that perspective and not the slavery mentality world perspective, it will go a long way in subduing racialism and division amongst nations.

And on that note I stand with Pastor Chris. When we open our hearts and minds, we will see that for us to correct so many wrongs in this world today n even more in our country, there are some things we need to start refusing and changing if things are to get better.

Pls, no insults o cos I no insult you o, just sharing my thought on the topic

Thank you so much for enlightening my myopic mindset
Didn't watch the video anyway, just my usual way

Seems like you and your Pastor are in denial, maybe calling you Caucasian white would make you happy. Remember it's the Same pastor that told us 5G causes corona virus

Isinweke:


You said nothing, you just told me that "B" and "W" start with caps,
We are not talking of capital or small latter here as I already know that probably before you.

Who made White and Black ethnic/racial classification? why is it not Pot and Kettle?
You lack sense.

What will happen if you change the status quo?

The pastor made is making sense, if he was not in the scamming business, he would have told you that Christianity or God is scam.


On no grounds should they be called Whites and we Blacks.

I go use bottle burst your head if I catch you.

aalangel:


Oh my!! What did you just say I wish you'll meet this man in person...you'll just start crying.

blind zombie follower of Chris spotted.
If a blind leads a blind they will both....... (you can complete the rest) .
I pity you.
By the way give me his location so I can say it to his face over and over again, perhaps he'll come to his senses

TechCapon:
but he's better than my entire generation

fixed

kingxsamz:


Give us a good reason why it's not okay.

Go read through this,

The black they call us or we call ourselves now was a derogatory term.

why should Africans be called Black?

annford:



By insulting a Man of God, someone's dad and a man probably old enough to be your father, you have already shown how stupid, foolish and useless you are to your family, entire generation and human rave at large. Must you comment on a post? Must you insult him to drive home your point? fool like you.

e pain this zombie die
It's obvious your blind since you could call this mere person a man of God.
Do you know what it takes to qualify Someone as a man of God?
Well how I wish I were to see him so I'll reiterate it to his face over and over again so he'll come to his senses

djsteplion:





I take him serious tho ..., no matter what you think or say..
#I'm Alive ( only loveworld members will understand the hashtag)

what you and your fellow love world zombies need is to be freed and your eyes open from religion cos you all are enslaved to it

I have told you that I'm not a Christian or religious person.

He was stupid for saying 5G curses Coronavirus or relating 5G to Antichrist.

That doesn't mean he's wrong on this.

CuteMercury:
Ladies and gentleman for so long AFRICANS have lost it, we have been made to accept things that were not right, things that have been said about Africa.

A recent video of pastor Chris oyakhilome surfaces when he Said AFRICANS should stop accepting that they are black and to my surprise.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dIAaD6_um4

lots of NIGERIANS started to attack him, well i really don't blame them because most NIGERIANS/AFRICANS are not Enlightened and this is why the whites secretly laugh at us.

Now taking a look at the new music video of Beyonce featuring Wizkid came out days ago and the song was titled "Brown skin girl"

Now was Beyonce trying to pass a message?

Why did she not use title like "Black skin girl"?

Why Brown skin girl?

What is with the name "black" that made her to refuse the name looking at the fact that according to general Believe, she is a black American.

Can't you all see that she is trying to pass the same message that pastor Chris oyakhilome is passing.

Let me ask you people especially NIGERIANS.

They say NIGERIA is the most populous black country in the world but are NIGERIANS truly black? How black are we?

A larger percentage of NIGERIANS are brown skin which is 100% fact.

There is nothing black about us so we should open our eyes and stop accepting Nonsense.

Perhaps the reason why AFRICA is where she is today is because we have accepted something that we are not supposed to accept from the beginning.

How do you expect good things to come to you when you accept that your life is black.

Little wonder BoB Marley said in one of his song. "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery' perhaps he was talking to AFRICANS.

THIS is the video of Beyonce's brown skin girl.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRFS0MYTC1I

Now this is the lyrics to the chorus of the song.

Brown skin girl
Your skin just like pearls
The best thing in the world
Never trade you for anybody else
Singin' brown skin girl
Your skin just like pearls
The best thing in the world
I never trade you for anybody else


Now like i said, why didn't she use "black skin girl'

Perhaps she knows something that pastor Chris oyakhilome knows too that is associated with the word "Black"

She was trying to pass a message but only the Enlightened will understand.

Dude, reality is that our skin is brown and not black!! Don't you know what the color black looks like? I have never seen a BLACK African. Even some of the darkest skinned people of Africa in Bayelsa, Sudan, Ghana etc can't be called BLACK.

Isinweke:


I have told you that I'm not a Christian or religious person.

. Thank God people like you without fixed mindset still exist on this space.

BROWN LIVES MATTERS

I’m discovering the reason. Cud black be a retrogressive name? I’m exploring the possibilities as absurd as they may seem to some right now. I’m not quick to dismiss it. I have seen and heard of people negatively affected by their names. Incase u think it’s impossible.

The black in America hate identifying with Africa and Africans. Whites treat Africans far better than black american and yet they claim whites are racists

Black Americans shares DNA with other minority blacks of Africa, European and Asian descent. But being lumped in a community where they are all termed black will give rise to segregation because in the primal they are not all that black and Africa(ALL animal have a feeling of Thier own not minding appearance). The quest is to know if African American who are conscious of Thier heritage discrimate against Thier kind in America. ( There is much I want to type but can't due to time and location)

Ok, I understand were you coming from

RaphaellaDD:
So what about Africans that are on the much darker side and are actually not brown but black. This isn't a colorist statement but such people exist. Are they evil or what since nothing good can come out of being black or the color black or whatever. Please let's exercise wisdom.

Those people are minority they could be around 5% of us in Africa here.

It's like same way American media was portraying we African in Africa as subhumans who live in bushes, wandering in forest with no government or system.

They will go and take videos and pictures of African tribes like those they called Bushmen whom are less than 1% of African population, that's what they present 99% to African Americans and make them look subhumans to the Europeans.

Being Black, White or Green should be individual thing.

the people of Kenya and Senegal are brown skin abi? metal slaves

stonemasonn:
Who cares.

The last thing in my mind is my skin color.

You don't care
Until you're treated base on your skin color

Oh, so now you're not sure?
You're now discovering the reason...
Until you prove it affects black people as a whole negatively, then you have nothing to complain of.

Isinweke:


Go read through this,

why should Africans be called Black?

People are called white and red.
What is wrong with being called black? How does it affect one negatively when he calls himself black? Give a logical explanation.

I never said I was sure. I said don’t be quick to dismiss the pastors words bt rather analyze it open mindedly
