People also get stopped for "driving while mexican"

People also get stopped for "driving while dominican"

People also get stopped for "driving while puerto rican"

People also get stopped for "driving while arabic"

...Imagine a "Black America Cop" beating you down to a bloody pulp...and trying to break bones in your boney with a knifestick

^--When you experience that, You will realize that it's about ideology and beliefs and Racial Brotherhood won't mean a damn thing

If you haven't...then come back and talk to me when you have

Cause Black BrotherHood didn't mean a damn thing That Night.

Racial Clarity is believing in what isn't there

Racial Loyalty is believing in what was never there.

That's real.

In America Blacks would call him brownskin believe it or not.

The younger generation even classifies people like Nelly and T.I Color as "Caramel" now...

They are trying to divide what is considered lightskin and fraction it into smaller and smaller groups as a means to overpower them(Politically)

You now have to be "Drake" complexion to be considered Lightskin Now.....


Let me get off this subject....lol

Mrs.Chima:


With all that being said...Africans chatters have called Sexkillz an albino as if the color of his skin was his fault. He isn't albino but it was used to inflict pain in his spirit. I am sure that it has bothered him but he is confidence in whom he is and that is more than what I can say for many chatters on Nairaland.

What is also interesting is that Nairaland men idolized Beyonce and she is as light as Sexkillz and she is considered beautiful but Sexkillz is considered a misfit by his own people?

Color Stuck Syndrome is strong in Africa than Africans aren't willing to admit.

I read where you said that you are an Igbo...so you know Igbo people were considered the "mixed breeds" of Africa and treated accordingly...how does that make you feel knowing your people suffered from such ignorance?

Lol. To be honest, it doesn't bother me. It doesn't hurt and I'm serious. I only hear such things on NL and they are funny. The antagonism for Igbo people is more of a political nature in Nigeria and not based genetics. wink

Damn im trynna duck the skin complexion topic...But i see allot of it on the last page

lol back to the Black Unity, and the Black Hate from those looking in from the outside.

I explained many of the reasons why others and outsiders view us as Ignorant And Lazy....

In many stereotypes there is usually "some" truth in it

Many americans(not just black) are indeed lazy and have zero drive because It's too Damn easy to live "comfortably" in America.....

Because of Power,Wealth,Freedom...

It has it's positives and it's negatives....

You see...the average "poor" american lives like a king compared to the rest of the world.

I know many people who Have multiple cars, An apartment...Beautiful expensive items in their home, tons of jewelry

But these people would still fall under the poor/working class financial bracket..

Bottom line it's just too damn easy to life comfortably in America (for most of us)

As a Result the Average American Male becomes lazy and has no drive or desire....

You give the most 18-24 year old men a Air Conditioner, 50 Inch Tv, Video Game, Apartment,Car,Bed,Junk Food,and One Woman

And he's "content" with that......

That^ Is to easy to achieve in America, because of so much freedom an Opportunity.

As a result...So many Americans Lack the Drive to be Outstanding,

because being Outstanding is not needed to live comfortable in This Country for the Majority

In Other Countries...as a means of survival you have to be "Above Average"...So their Drive to Succeed is Higher.

I hear you. My husband said similar to what you said. He said he will make sure that all of his children are proud to be Igbos regardless of what people think of Igbos.

He is already quoting a bride price on Baby C and she ain't even had her period yet! Smh.

I see your point. I have said this before many times...yes America and UK has welfare system placed by the government however if other countries had welfare system........a man in Kenyan wouldn't be set on fire for stealing potatoes to survive. Yahoo boys wouldn't even have the time.....and you wouldn't have too many ashyhoes selling their arse for a dollar to the foreign tourists.

Let keep it real.

Concerning the Ebonics Royal, i would rather type Ebonics than having to type African American Vernacular when we all knw what ppl now commonly refer to as Ebonics. Since the 20th century, Ebonics has carried on a new meaning (lol). Lmfao @ ppl tryna prove their intelligence
@Royal, i doubt u knw what Bigotry mean. U need to meet real narrow-minded Nigerians(mostly older generation), then u would knw Ogugua and Kandiikane are far from being a Bigot.

Maybe we should be celebrating our creative ways of customizing cars, instead of arguing over whose customization is more superior

After hiding each one of my replies which contained no profanity or vulgar language while i was explaining their ignorant logic....

She then transitioned to having a go at "ghetto british" people....

This wonderful display of Bigotry coming off her legendary display of calling a darkskinned gambian woman braiding hair "ghetto" and alluding to the fact she may live in a mud hut

LoL anything associated with her own deluded "perceptions" of what is "negative" about the black race, she calls "ghetto"

Weather it be creative speech....

Weather it be clothing attire...

Mrs.Chima:
That's sad.

I briefly read some of the comments and I wasn't surprised to read them because I know ignorance wins all day. However I do see some valid points on both side but the ignorance was overbearing.

Londonboy made an interesting comment about President Obama and how the older Blacks were in tears. That's fact. However we know the media is owned by those who have no interest in exposing the real truth.

I do agree that there are some Blacks living off the government but why are other nationalities including refugees are being "excluded"? Is that enough reason for disunity with Blacks?

What are the REAL REASONS is what I want people on both sides to express because it seems to be real fuckery that people aren't WILLING TO KEEP it 100.

What also made it interesting is that Londonboy is Nigerian and he understands the struggle that many colored folks go through in Western world. 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.

I don't know if you were on the Romance section when an Black American chatter created a thread dedicating to Nigerian men and how women should obtain a man and stay married. The responses from the men were expected however some of them weren't realistic. I basically said if she had dissed Nigerian men...she would have been called all kind of slave biatches, welfare queens, and a baby momma.

She titled it Akata teaching you how to keep a man and stay married.....(paraphrased)

Your thoughts?

Damn, did I miss something? Show me a link to the thread.
