Mrs.Chima:
I do agree that there are some Blacks living off the government but why are other nationalities including refugees are being "excluded"?

However, many Africans that come over without engaging in illegal and fraudulent activities are students from upper middle class families that can afford to send their members to school. You will never see a poor African attend American Universities unless they were selected by the Elite.

MsDarkSkin: Our ancestors came from Africa.

A beautiful place rich in history, culture and beauty but the mentalities? GARBAGE!!

Very tribalistic, hostile and pro-separatism in nature.
It's the same way TODAY!

imagine someone saying "japanese americans suffered like AAs"...
I guess it never occurred to them the edge they got over us was a PUBLIC APOLOGY..REPARATIONS..And
a chance to climb the social ladder by literally being given a boost. They were GIVEN GOVERNMENT FUNDED HOUSING, education, and the means to elevate collectively as a people. Mostly it was based on politics...but the advantage they had was mostly based on the fact that THEY although not white....were NOT black. It's amazing how even their descendants who are 3rd generation immigrants can now shamelessly look at AAs with disdain...smh.

Japanese Americans STILL can speak Japanese. They still have Japanese surnames and a culture they have brought with them since before the 1940s and even while locked up in American prison camps...I think there is NO comparison.

I agree that some of us are lackluster and lazy but
to say slavery and discrimination are non-factors? smh...who feels it knows it.

Mrs.Chima:


Yes...there are some lazy arse Black Americans on government assistance and just as well I can count lazy Black Americans...I can count lazy Africans who used other to escape or remove themselves from poverty. What is the difference?

Now...you already know how I feel about ANYBODY being on the system because any money I earn go into the "help the crook" pockets including settled immigrants and refugees. Because of the recession...more and more people are on the system including former upper class workers. Karma is a biatch eh?

With all that said...is that enough to keep disunity with Black folks going? Or we haven't really gotten to the root of the issue? The things that were said both on culture and fashion section hasn't warrant a solid reason why Blacks shouldn't unite and work toward something positive despite differences.

Mrs.Chima:
Royal is scared of an arsewhooping.

It is all good though....at least the thread is here and if they want to hash out reasons why people won't move forward TOGETHER...it would be here.

Ignorance has to stop or it will consume us.

Royal-VII:
And you know what was the greatest thing about that thread?

The most Educated of person among them...turned out to be the british kid with the "ghetto" rap video

Hilarious....

MsDarkSkin:

I dont even want to hear their opinions...it don't even matter to me at this point.

I would love to debate them in a fair forum where my post can't be hidden,edited and removed

lol i wrote like 30 post in there on that subject...she either marked some of them as hidden or edited them

If you truly feel you are more educated than me(All Americans) than why hide what i illuminate..?

Some of our African Brothers and Sisters are viewing this thread as a guest right now

Inferiority Complex is the reason for what you saw....And it's also "one" of the contributing factors as to why black people will never be united

Sorry for the delay im still on my phone

This is Sohooba, the repatriate who is still going home. It's now 2012, and many slaves have become trained and accustomed to living in the plantations that our ancestors were forced to build, without payment. The Africans who we so eagerly want to embrace, are trying their best to become like the slave-masters of old. Most of the leaders in the continent forget that they are normal Africans until they are selected and elected by the people.

The problem is Africans don't see us as brothers. We need to stop romanticizing about Africans, and romanticize about land. Liberia is where Blacks have the right to go, all other African countries will shun you and rob you of you loot. These are tribal people, if you are not part of their tribe, you are an enemy. How do you think they were able to sell us? It's because they felt no infinity towards us. Be careful thinking Africans are your brother.

You will never see a poor African attend American Universities unless they were selected by the Elite.

The answer to the title of the Thread.... Not a Chance

100%no

By the way, I hope you all were not shocked at what you witnessed in the other thread.

I saw the ways of many of the registered users along time ago...

That's why i poked and prodded @Them in various other threads trying to see into their mental state and closet bigotry

What kandii wrote did not surprise me at all honestly

It was truly disgusting what the whole crew of them wrote in that thread...

And you know what was the greatest thing about that thread?

Mrs.Chima:
One thing I want to add...

I did read a comment about one of the reasons why Black Americans do not prosper because they complain and depend on the system.

Let me use President Obama who is viewed by the American public as a BLACK MAN although he has a white mother.

President Obama is/has:

College graduate
Worked many high level political positions
married to a Black American woman, who has a college educated with a worthy profession. She didn't go to school for four years to be a secretary or housewife
Publisher
Nobel Peace recipient
He didn't go to the most populace country in Africa...he went to Ghana. That should tell you a lot.
Became the FIRST BLACK MAN to hold the MOST POWERFUL POSITION in the world and they STILL TREAT HIM LIKE SHIT.

He has never made any excuses, complained about the "White man", and even tried to address publicly to all Black men in America to pull your pants up and keep it moving. YET...HE IS CALLED BY HIS SURNAME as if he was never president.

What are the excuses now?

PhysicsQED:

lmao, where are you guys getting this stuff from?

But I guess I'd need you to define "poor" first before just laughing this claim off.

If you mean Somalia poor, then you may have a point.

PhysicsQED: Separatism among ethnic lines actually seems to make natural sense because it amounts to separation based on language and culture - which would seem like what would automatically happen. Those who speak the same language, share the same customs, and live the same would band together and away from those who don't.

Unity among racial or skin color lines might just be something that white people created recently and which parts of the rest of the world have suddenly embraced in a bid to have potential protection or alliances against the "other" in case this other group or groups (whatever their race may be) decide to invade and subjugate or attempt to verbally/psychologically degrade their particular group on the basis of skin color/race.

Mrs.Chima:

Good Point.

Obama does get treated terribly.

Especially with how he is addressed, even went to a public event a couple years back and The Pa announcer addressed him by his whole name, with no "president" Preceding it

My only counter to that is, there has been a decline of respect level given towards our presidents in the last 17-20 years...

It started with Clinton and The Mockery of his infidelity...

Then Bush who (imo) got it the worst...Im saying that as a Left Winger

Then down to Obama and the disrespect spiraled out of control....

Bush always got humiliated for being "dumb" And dimwitted...where as Obama gets typical Anti-Ethnic Jabs

Personally i think bush got it a little worse From the Left than Obama Gets from the Right

BUT...

That could be because i have been desensitized to racism and bigotry ,having lived through it and studied it for so long.

You make a great point though

@Dark Im still on tha video....Nairaland keeps messing up on my phone when i try to reply.

Mrs.Chima:


I get my source concerning visas and immigration from the HORSE'S MOUTH. I don't need google.

I guess you failed to read...."unless they are selected by the Elite".

Its okay. You can go back and reread.

Mrs.Chima:


On the thread....I said And he is Nigerian. I was shocked like a mofo. Real talk. He was spitting shit out like wildfire and I was like damn...THAT CAN'T BE LONDONBOY...I do owe him an apology because I pegged him to be a dumb arse. He has checked my arse.

That's why we shouldn't judge books by their cover because you never know who you are dealing with. I learned that today.

MsDarkSkin: There was a video I saw that I am gonna post for yall...it's kind of long so I will only post the link.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkEHWfj-Dlc

but basically it talks about how some black folks prey on our struggles and use it against us when we are the most vulnerable. they had a conversation about it in the comment section...here are a few of the posts that struck me the most:






smh.

chima and royal...your thoughts?

MsDarkSkin:

that is the thing...most black people do NOT sit around blaming the white man.
more of us are into self reliance and elevation YET we are type caste based on the actions of certain rotten apples.
it's no secret we make up some of the most successful Americans...hell most black folks in America (according to statistics) are middle class and moving up...what is the issue is the need for other black people to throw stones when it is convenient...

in effort to build some type of esteem they try to style out all AAs as being lazy...if Royal was not there...there would have been NO distinctions made...TRUST THAT.

let one black american come on here about "african booty scratcher" and all hell would break loose!!
so why when we cry foul...we are complaining?

Black unity my azz man.
