Why Does It Seem Africans Are Ashamed Of London Burning? by MandingoII(m): 6:13am On Aug 11, 2011
Is it because some of them share your skin color?

Is it because you want to live there?

Is it because you detest seeing Blacks protest?

Why are you feeling "some kinda way" it is not even about you!!!!

It IS about FED UP Oppressed & Marginalized people sick and tired of being POWERLESS. So they do what poor oppressed people do. Take it to the streets.
White people been doing it for centuries.

There is no love lost between me and mandingo but his last statement is totally on point.
This riot is now being labelled a black riot and only faces of black rioters are being plastered all over the newspapers despite the fact that in places like liverpool, birmingham, bristol and salford the majority of the rioters were white.

The british media are also using this riot to stir up racial tensions between blacks and asians and blacks and whites, a lot of the comments im reading on youtube are describing black rioters as animals and scum who shoudl all "go back to africa".

When the students rioted in this country early this year and smashed up shops i dont remember anyone describing them as animals or scum.

the british govt do not want to talk about the root causes of this riot, instead their focus is now on punishing the rioters  they are now talking about using rubber bullets, spraying rioters with water cannons containing dye, taking away their govt subsidised accommodation and social security benefits etc - no talk about addressing inequality, poverty and exclusion which majority of the people rioting are victims of.

the average nigerian has been conditioned to remain docile no matter how badly they are treated by their govt this is why nigerians rather leave the country than fight to change things, therefore the idea of blacks standing up to an oppressive racist system like britain is something most nigerians can't comprehend.

blacks in the UK and the blacks in africa are both oppressed by the same capitalist system which keeps them at the bottom of the socio economic ladder. The blacks in the west are slightly better off because there is a social safety net which protects them from starvation and destitution while the blacks in africa are at the mercy of tyrannical western puppets who bend over backwards to serve the interests of western banks and multinational corporations while sentencing their own people to a life of endless poverty.

Both groups are victims of white supremacy, the major difference though, is that the blacks in the western world UNDERSTAND who the enemy is while majority of nigerians stupidly think that their main enemy are their leaders, they are totally ignorant of the fact that those leaders would be virtually powerless without the financial and military aid they receive from the western puppet masters and multinational corporations who keep them in power.

EVERY MINORITY everywhere is suffering by some form of White supremacy. this is a fact. the only thing we can do is DESTROY their materialistic structures, and RIOT RIOT RIOT.

otherwise you become a part of the problem by your complictness, by your selfishness and by your fake individualism, because their will always be black,brown people to look down upon by the evil whiteys, Why?

BECAUSE THEY NEED TO COMPARE THEIR MATERIAL WEALTH AGAINST SOMETHING, AND YOUR BLACK A.S.Z IS THE "OTHER", nevermind that their rich is impoverishing them and keeping them sick & depressed, as long as they are not "you" they will go along with the elites propaganda.

@MandigoII,

EVERY MINORITY everywhere is suffering by some form of White supremacy.
So the suffering of the minority groups in Nigeria is also down to White supremacy?  Minorities of Indian descents in America are a small group and yet have taken over the IT industry.  What happened to White Supremacy in that sense?

this is a fact.  the only thing we can do is DESTROY their materialistic structures, and RIOT RIOT RIOT.
How does destroying what others have add to the value of your own life?  What sort of mentality is this?  Do you think you will be better off today if Bill Gates loses his fortune?

I was born in the UK but beleive me i despise the place, i would have left this place ages ago but your parasitic leaders have made it unbearable for ordinary people like myself, only the rich and the corrupt live well in africa, still making plans to get the hell out though, i hope you unwanted whites in zimbabwe, kenya and south africa are making similar plans because africa will rise very soon and all you unwanted whites over there will not be welcome in africa at that time
