PhysicsQED:

Africans in Africa don't seriously ever call each other "nigga" . . .

I once came across an image of it being used by a poor [b]African shop keeper somewhere who tried to use the word on a sign on his store in the "cool" way [/b]that rappers in America do but instead failed terribly at it. I can't remember what country it was right now but I think it was in central Africa.

Royal,

We have different definitions of "ghetto culture". In your view anything that is violent or backwards seems to be ghetto culture - which is pretty all-encompassing, and should include all psychopathic killings like those in Norway or America. If we're going to talk about children being beheaded out of nowhere, we could also talk about the "Milwaukee Cannibal" or we could also talk about a man recently eating another man's face off in America, or a man recently shooting a pregnant woman and several other people in a theater in America for no reason, or a woman recently killing her daughter through negligence in America and getting off with only minimal jail time.

I haven't seen you apply your criteria for "ghetto culture" to America and the rest of the world like you have to Africa. India and parts of South America were also completely missing from your analysis. You mention civil wars, but Africans didn't invent the concept of civil wars nor are they exclusive to Africa - the Yugoslav civil war wasn't even that long ago. If anything, looking at the actual civil wars that have broken out in Africa, some of them (not all) couldn't have happened without screwed up borders drawn by westerners or crisis situations created indirectly by westerners. Making civil war of all things an inherent "ghetto" attribute of African cultures was just a bizarre argument.

I commented on those living in the water in Lagos in particular because you emphasized not once, but twice, their living on water in one of the main cities in Nigeria.

Now I never blamed rap music - it's not clear to me why you think I really have something against rap music. I merely tried to give the context for why people would be imitating the negative aspects of contemporary American rap in a city like Lagos (a more westernized place) than a place like some remote, less westernized village in another state.

See how you lose debates constantly on this forum and take things out of context....LmL

I slay each silly quote one by one....

Number 1 Royal,

We have different definitions of "ghetto culture".

ghet·to
   [get-oh] Show IPA
noun, plural ghet·tos, ghet·toes.
1.
a section of a city, especially a thickly populated slum area, inhabited predominantly by members of an ethnic or other minority group, often as a result of social or economic restrictions, pressures, or hardships.

a : an isolated group <a geriatric ghetto> b : a situation that resembles a ghetto especially in conferring inferior status or limiting opportunity <the pink-collar ghetto>


Stop Creating "your own" definition of the word ghetto when i clearly post the definition multiple times as i have above in this thread.. LmL


Here is the Definition of Culture

a : the integrated pattern of human behavior that includes thought, speech, action, and artifacts and depends upon the human capacity for learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations b : the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group


In your view anything that is violent or backwards seems to be ghetto culture - which is pretty all-encompassing, and should include all psychopathic killings like those in Norway or America. If we're going to talk about children being beheaded out of nowhere, we could also talk about the "Milwaukee Cannibal" or we could also talk about a man recently eating another man's face off in America, or a man recently shooting a pregnant woman and several other people in a theater in America for no reason, or a woman killing her daughter through negligence and getting off with only minimal jail time.


You are comparing random american "crimes" to African Traditional Cultural Rituals ....

It is part of some backwards african cultures to Cut Off Heads

It is part of some backwards african cultures to slaughter kill and maim Albinos

It is part of some backwards african cultures to Rappe Virgin when when you have Aids...

It is Part of some backwards african cultures to kill gay people and slaughter them like animals

It is part of some backwards african cultures to Mutilate young women vaginall organs as part of a "traditional" cultural belief

Key Word..."Culture"....We are discussing "cultures" not random crimes....Your "Culture" is backwards and beyond "Ghetto"....

You understand the difference ?....Good wink

Keyword.."Culture"

Now I never blamed rap music - it's not clear to me why you think I really have something against rap music.

The op blamed rap music....And You blame "westernized" culture for having a negative impact on your already incredibly backwards beliefs.....

You co-sign a moronn..that makes you a moronn...you can't backtrack Now..it's too late ..Do you not understand this?....

You can't argue on his behalf(you quoted my post first to co-sign his western influence point) Then run after getting slayed in a debate just to say...

"Well Truthfully Royal i do not agree with the Op i don't know why you would think that"

^--You embarrass yourself constantly over and over by endless contradictions....

If you were not in here blaming "Western Culture" and co-signing this fool pleep we would not be having this discussion now would we?

....exactly....

"Yo we are Nigerians we got to stick together man no matter how many facts Royal continues to post and destroy us"~~~Physics

....You still want to continue?...LmL

I mentioned Jeffrey Dahmer and the man who recently ate another man's face off in Miami, but there are other gruesome crimes one can point to that happened even more recently:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/27/brandy-stevens-rosine-case-love-triangle_n_1711393.html


The point is, there isn't any reason to conflate the discussion the "ghetto culture" that was being discussed earlier with every instance of a psychopathic crime.


On cursing, this may be hard to believe, but even several decades ago in America - not to talk of the rest of the world, where some languages and groups have a more limited inventory of vulgarity (but still do have it) - cursing casually was not at all seen as normal or acceptable. You couldn't even get away with much cursing in movies. Now "oh sh1t" is hardly even cursing to some people and you can turn on Comedy Central and see a barrage of curses anytime you want. grin

Are You still comparing Random Crimes to Traditional African Culture that Expresses positive views towards human mutilation,,child slaying,albino slaying,killing and beheading even after i just wrote that post.....? LmL Are we going to ignore that it is traditional "culture" in many parts of africa to do such wicked things and ignore how western society looks down on these acts, yet they are lorded and praised in Africa?....
Re: Is African Culture Becoming Ghetto Culture? by Nobody: 5:22pm On Jul 28, 2012
Im not even going to engage in the "Africans Did not Curse Untill Western Influence" Seriously...

Ill just politely type over such nonsense...LmL i Have too much respect for myself to even engage in that foolishness.

What about scantily clad women dressed in clothing attire that is deemed inappropriate...did western culture influence your women to do that too?...
