So You Think Akatas Are Useless Huh

earlier Quote from girl22 :


For someone to write all of this about College, then turn around and say they are an "A" student in college
is really mind buggling.

If this is how you feel about college, why bother seeking a profession that requires
a college degree ?

Why not practice what you preach ?

First off no one is emulating hiphop, if we did we wouldnt be in school, we'D be in gangs. If anything Africans get alot of grief from your kind that call us "white" for not being obsessed with your sexist hiphop so bite me


Ok first of all you're saying black americans commit crimes because they don't have jobs yet in the same post you are saying that people don't need college. You do know that NOWADAYS both go hand IN hand, right?

and give me a break. Do you know what EOP is? I went to college in this country so maybe an African like myself will have to school you on your own educational system. EOP is for poor black families, the govt helps them out with school finances, they get free computers, paid dorm rooms, half of their food is also paid. they ALSO get refund checks. I don't know how they do it in other colleges but EOP is in pretty much every State University in this country.

as for your "oh what did you people make" question, you sound like youve been lobotimized. These are the same people that go around claiming that they are the same as Africans fooling themselves with their bloody Kwanzaa and kente cloth bullshit, at the same time they will go behind Africans calling them barbarians and stuff. Who do you people think you're really fooling? You want to claim we4're the 'same" at the same time you are asking 'oh what have YOU people done", are you senile?

between in the midst of your mindless rant, you've yet to explain why immigrants from poor countries get here and tend to do better than those who were born here all their lives, how about you answer that before you run your mouth about juju or what not that doesnt even concern you.

Well,

Dear poster, I am sure you know the answers to all your questions.

Happy new year!!!!!!

Our African-American brothers need soap,useful for onanism while locked up in jails     

maybe girl22 is thinking of inventing KY jelly soap just for her imprisoned brothers.

hummmm,  _{sits and watches with interest the preoccupation with social status  and labels}

some Nigerian inventors

Dr. Igwemezie is the inventor of the patented Norfast Tie Plate and Clip Assembly products.

The Chief Scientists at IntelliPharmaCeutics, Dr. Issa Odidi and Dr. Amina Odidi, are the inventors of each of the diverse core drug delivery technologies which the company now successfully exploits. They were also directly responsible for the design, development and advancement to production scale of each of the ten FDA-approved and commercially successful drugs and dosage strengths now on sale in the United States.

Africans invented Viagra (Burantashi/magaji/okwuoto)  google it and be amazed

I am surprised that this thread is coming from a black person!

Anyway @ Poster - I can understand your anger if people have been insulting you here on nairaland or your people. But the truth is every race everywhere has its winners and loser and posting things like you have posted only make you appear worse than the people that insulted you to begin with. Many of the people who you listed as African American inventors were undoubtedly first second and third generation Africans anyway. My parents are here so i am a secon generation African if i invent something today does that make it only a black british invention. No it also makes it African.

Also there are alot of inventions i.e. condoms first invented in early Africa from animal gut, rafts, crude clothing, tools, weapons and traps, the wheel, pottery, the marked stick for measuring, and ways of making fire and smelting copper and iron,

Agriculture (the invention of hoes, digging-sticks, and sickles for reaping).
Farming (animals under domestication, increased milk secretions, wool, and hair for weaving).
Ancient Egyptian wall paintings show one of the early plows. It was invented by harnessing an animal to the heavy, short-handled, long-bladed hoe (which is still in use). However, the plow did not become wide-spread outside Africa until the succeeding Bronze Age (the period between the Stone and Iron Age-roughly 4000.

Twigs and reeds were used to make baskets. The weaving of baskets and mats was a well-developed art in Egypt by 5000 BC; rope by 4500 BC; elaborate textile weaving from flax by 3000 BC; and woolen cloth by 1000 BC. An Egyptian knife (between 900 and 800 BC) is the world's oldest voluntary making of a "steeled" piece of iron (Diop, Civilization, p285). 

"The point is that no invention ever stands alone but rather is built upon the inventions that have gone before. Simple as these things seem to us now, they were new to the life of that early time. Principles underlying these inventions and discoveries are still fundamental to human existence."

There are many inventions Africans had even before slavery that we may never know about as like you rightfully pointed out White slave owners never gave black people any credit for inventions. At least if it was made in America they could show the world their prototype before someone else stole it. I was not there all those years back to know what inventions were made and if it is not publicised no one will know. Who do you think will publicise it if not people who kept records or were alive during those periods. As for modern day inventions Romeo has given you some and here is another one by Brino Gilbert who has invented a device that has the capacity to avert accidents on the road, air, sea and rail - the CCG(http://www.edofolks.com/html/pub138.htm). But the problem with Africa, which by the way is a continent not a country as you wrongly stated in anger is that there is corruption in politics.

My sister, the only difference between an African and an African American is that one African was raised in America. Your genetics are similar, you even look similar so posting comparisons like that only says more about the governments and the facilitative nature of where these people are being raised as far as i am concernced. No one is lazier than the other and no one group is more intelligent. The difference is opportunity and marketing I guess, or maybe it is something else but i can't think of what. Before your comb was invented Africans had combs or were there hairs dreadlocked? Before this soap was made Africans did wash themselves. Anyway just remember you are African as well as American and you should respect both parts of your heritage even if others are narrowminded at times. Because my dear, you just insulted a whole continent for the sake of a handful of people.

Peace.

i don't know why many of you guys waste your time replying to someone like that. she feels like she;s the victim because she accuses us/africans of calling AA lazy or useless or whatever the excuse. you don't hear us complaining and we have to deal with ignorant people calling us names. we get asked the most ignorant questions about africa. africans have to prove themselves a lot more than the average person and all she can complain about is being called useless. wow, she really has it bad.

always blamin' white folks for black folks' problems

I have never blamed a white person for my problems. Damn you are dumb. I sound like Sister Souljah?
I said that alot of Africans misinterpret black people speaking out against racism as saying they are holding them back.

For instance 4 months ago a  black woman named Megan Williams was raped,forced to drink toilet water, eat rat feces, eat dog feces, had scolding hot water poured on her,had patches of her pulle out of her head, beaten, stabbed and forced to lick up blood. They then told her "this is what we do to niggers. "

Did I say something? You damn right I did. Did voice my concerns? You damn right I did.
Did I blame white people for holding black people back? No.
Did I say something about the racism? Yes

I have never once said white people hold black people black.

I said Africans misintepret AA's talking about racism as AA' Sblaming them for their problems.

You guys cannot comprehend what you read very well.

Another Akata moment is thatmy akata Chemistry teacher in high school made us read a novel about when blacks couldn't go to school with white kids because of segregation as if that is Chemistry. Those are examples of akataesque behavior.

What wrong with that? Maybe he had ya'll read that to enforce black kids to take school more seriuosly.
You SAID chemistry is a hard subject. Maybe he was giving you inspiration. LOL Or maybe it was an easy way to gain extra points. Did you gain extra points for reading it?
Some teachers will give you easy things to do to get extra points to pass the class.

Your claims of criticizing African Americans (not Akata) have become weak and assanine.

Oh my God. Your teacher is so horrible. He gave you a book to read that didn't have anything to with chemistry.
Them damn Akatas. Sighs.

Maybe because whites make up majority of the population.

Source?

Africans kill each other more than anybody over in Africa because its an African continent with the majority of African people. Africans Americans are not killing Africans in Africa its not white people. Its other Africans. Because Africans are the majority and most likely you lived in all African neighborhoods.

None of you are screaming about African on African crime.

Don't lie and say its not the truth.
