Sista, I'm just tired of all these prejudges and hatred. Homosexuals are humans. If they don't molest children nor force anybody else to have sexual intercourse with them (and most don't do things like that), they don't harm anybody. So please let them be.

I don't know what you are talking about, I think homosexuals should be left be as well. I don't have a problem with homosexuals. In fact, I was in this topic to get my continent born African brothers and sisters to see that all black people have suffered at the hands of whitey, even by taking on the homosexual tendencies brought upon by whitey. I was trying to get my people to see that we should not discriminate against each other because we don't appreciate how one of us has taken on a trait from white people we really do not agree with when all of us have been influenced in some kind of negative way by white people.


Quote
I have never denied that some whites have done terrible things.

You and this some shyt is getting on my nerve, what you refer to as some white people did, all white people as a whole benefitted. Also, it wasn't some white people, it was most white people.

Quote
Even in the post above when I mentioned under-age marriages in Africa, I did not keep quiet about the same (past) practice in Europe. However, not all whites commit(ted) such offenses and not whites exclusively.

It doesn't matter because Africans did not go into Europe to try and help Europeans with their own obvious problems, it is the hypocrite Europeans who came to Africa to so call help Africans. The fact that Europeans did this, that  gives Africans the right to talk about the negative impact white people have had on African people.

Quote
Furthermore, I have spoken for black women on several occasions in this forum saying that they mean no more hassles than white women and that black men should not forget that their mother is a black woman too. Did you forget that I just pointed out that Africans had/have scripts of their own as well as oral history? I speak up if I think somebody is treated unjust. I also spoke up for you once.

Did I ask you to so call speak up for me? White people are in the habit of so called helping people or speaking up for  people and then wanting to remind people that they helped them when the people they so call helped get out of line. Well, your white tactic to get me to feel guilty will not work. So what you defend African women and you feel that you defended me. Does that mean I should keep my mouth shut about the truth, Greeks and Romans regarded Pedophilia as normal and they also viewed Homosexuality as normal. I won't keep my mouth shut to please you because you feel you defended me. If your defending me means I have to stop talking about how white people bamboozled African people, then I think you'll be needing not to stick up for me anymore.

Quote
between, the adam-and-eve theory in my last post is not mine but I've heard it before just like I have heard your story about pedophilia being a reason against homosexuality before. I don't believe in either of them.

Adam and Eve is a myth, there is know historical fact behind them. Homosexuality and Pedophilia took root in Europe and that is a historical fact, not my truth. If you don't believe me, go and find proof to this prove this.

Quote
Truth? You mean what you believe what the truth is.

Everything that I have said is historical fact, not my truth. If you think I am wrong, again go and find the origins of pedophilia and homosexuality

No where in history does it state any where that Africans went into Europe to so called help Europeans by converting them into African religion or ways of Africans, it was your people (white people) who came got into African peoples business on African people land. That is not my truth, that is historical fact that cannot be denied.

You did your best to find information to support that Africans are just as bad as Europeans, you did your best to prove that Africans sold their own people into slavery. Now I ask you to do this. I ask you to go and dig up proof that Africans went into Europe in an attempt to help Europeans and as a result Africans converted Europeans to African religion. Please, I beg you, go and find historical fact that African men went into Europe and took Europeans back to Africa or to a stolen land to slave them to death. Please, find historical fact that states African men were in Europe kidnapping white women and raping them before and after they put them on the slave ship, I beg you, find those facts.

Please dig up some facts on those types of issues, then and only then will I begin to question if Africans are just as bad as Europeans.

Romans even regarded their self as Barbaric people.

I remember your saying you want Africans to have rights in Europe, is that because Africans have welcomed you to Africa with open arms?

Also, as a white girl, you will always have it better than an African woman so stop trying to act like you understand what they go through by so called speaking up for them, you are not doing them any favors.

I would like to know how many white racist forum's do you attend where you stick up for black people? You sure do make it a point to come to a black forum and tell black people what they should say and think about white people.

No, I did not speak up for black women/you to make you shut up but because I thought they/you were treated unfairly. And the reason why I mentioned it now is because you gave the impression that I only speak negatively about Africans which I don't. And wasn't it you yourself who said the following?

Quote from: sista
If you want everyone to be treated equally, you can't just be talking about it, you gotta be about it other wise you will just be enjoying the company of black people while they suffer at the hands of your people. To me as a black person who knows how good the comforts of black people is, that can be viewed as selfishness on your behalf.

Historical "facts" might be interpreted in different ways. We both think that pedophilia and homosexuality existed in old Greek and Roman cultures but the conclusion we draw are different. Your conclusion is what you consider the "truth". My conclusion is what I consider the "truth". And, by the way, some people believe what it is written in the bible. That you and I don't share that belief doesn't prove that it is wrong.

Yes, illnesses do have color. Why else do you think doctors make it a point to point out the color statistics before subscribing medication?

.

You can't interpret a fact in your own way. You can play around with the bible and interpret it in you own way because the bible has yet to prove historical fact except in Geographical locations which still exist, but true facts, can not be misconstrued.

Fact: Romans and Greeks have a historical nature in which they practiced Homosexuality and Pedophilia for them, this type of behavior was normal, you cans still see it to this day in their art history. Tell me, how can the be misconstrued? How can one mis interpret that?

The English brainwashed the Nigerians. The English who had been brainwashed by the Romans brainwashed the Nigerians. And now the Nigerians brainwashed by the English themselves brainwashed by the Romans brainwash me. So if they ever should succeed you can blame it on the Italian people who are descendants of the Romans and tell my Italian friend how horrible of him to have done so.

The English always knew what the Romans were up to so it was no brainwash, it was a meeting of th minds and an agreeing on both party's that Christianity was beneficial for making Europeans the superior ones. That is why the English felt it necessary to bring Christianity to Africa. That is what people do when they wish to take over, they go into other peoples country's and spread their lies.

I see how you conveniently present historical facts to back up that Africans fight against each other. Then, it was not your truth right? but it was actual fact?

Greeks today will tell you they are homosexuals and historically they have always been. Just the other day this Greek homosexual a lot of people like who is an actor, he spoke about historical Rome and Greek homosexuality. It is obvious in in the writings of Plato's symposium that Plato was not only a Homo but he was also a pedophile who fooled his students into sleeping with him and then he would dump student after student once he received sexual pleasure from them. Plato said so his self  Pedophilia is evident in Roman Art and homosexuality is as well.

Read again what I said, I never asked for you or any white person to speak up for African people. African people can and have been speaking up for their self, dying for their self, and living in poverty for their self at the hand of your people, they don't need white people to speak up for them. To me, talk is cheap. I would like to see white people put  money where their mouth is in terms of sticking up for African people. How about reperating Africans for the times they (Europeans) financially benefited off of African people while African people received nothing.

Sista's words:
Did I ask you to so call speak up for me?


Quote
So, my question: What do you want now?

I never wanted anything from you, I don't want anything from you or any white person. What I would like is for white people to stay out of black folks business, do black people go about getting into the personal affairs of white people?

Please tell me where I used the word "fact" when talking about some Africans of ethnicity x DISLIKING Africans of ethnicity y. However, I think there is some difference between these two cases. You can't talk to the ancient Greeks and Romans anymore because they are dead. However, you still can talk to present day Nigerians. And SOME of them dislike members of other Nigerian ethnicities. That's true to my experience and is a very vague statement. It could mean "many" or "very few". You can argue with me and try to show me why my interpretation of certain events that made me draw certain conclusions are faulty. I know my view of the world is not the ultimate truth. So I might be wrong, but I don't think I'm wrong in this case and will need good arguments to change my opinion in regard to it.

Why should I do that? I do think that homosexuality existed in old Greek and old Rom. So, why should I want to proof that it did not exist?

How can they do that while at the same time giving black people money? I say so because donators always influence the life of the "beneficiaries" by their choice of how much who gets or to whom they give it so that that person/group will distribute the money.

You don't have to use the word fact to imply a fact. When you overheard me telling an African sister she should never consider a white man because of what white people have perpetuated against blacks, you butted in and said, "Sista, do you know of how African tribes fight against other African tribes?" Your question to me eluded fact which you based on what your African fiends themselves have told you. I presented you a link and an insert from that link explaining to you how white people had their hands in that black tribal fighting, did you retract what you said? No you didn't, nor did you comment on the link I presented which was written by a Nigerian.

Sistas final reply:
I don't need for you to break down what the what condemn means. Again, I never condemned homosexuals. I said this before, which you continue to over look. I said African brothers and sisters should not be judging other African brothers and sisters if they are homosexuals. Some Africans picked up that sickness from white people we Africans, black people should be more than understanding sense all black people have been in some kind of negative way influenced by whitey. Casting each other out because we don't like the sickness one of us got from whitey is not going to help us. In fact, I have no problem with Homo's. However, I do have a problem with homo's who go around the world to teach everyone it is natural because they see it as natural. Why couldn't the Romans and Greeks keep homosexuality way of life to their self? That is the problem I have, no one should be forced to accept the ways of someone else.  I don't condemn homosexuality but I don't not agree with Europeans bringing homosexuality to Africa. If a cat has Fleas and he knows it, yet he comes around other cats who do not have fleas, he should be casted out. If he has fleas but does not come around other cats trying to give them his fleas, we should help him get rid of the fleas, if that is what he wants, who knows, maybe he likes having fleas. However, as we help him, we should not put our selves at risk.

Sista's final reply:
For your information, white people, Europe became rich at the expense of others. Nothing they obtained is original. Scholars kindly call it borrowing but we both know that if you don't pay back what you borrowed, it is called stealing. Europe was built upon thefts from people of color. Example: American banks and even banks in Europe was financed off of slavery, some of those banks to this day still exist. Why do you think white people have so many heiress and heirs? All these Mr and Mrs. Paris Hilton's running around, they are white people. They are white people who made their money from slavery and they became so rich that their children never have to work, all they have to do is wait for a rich relative to die and they get all the money. This has been going on for years while the free labor African ancestors supplied, was never paid for and as  black person, each day of my life, I have to work three times harder than a white person if I want to accomplish something as simple as a home. Also, putting your money where your mouth is does not necessarily literally mean money, in many cases involving white people it could just mean for them to mind their own business and let Africans show to be the humans white people keep telling them they are, as if they didn't already know.  I might also add that when you claim to help a people out by giving them money, yet you want to dictate to them what to do with the money, that is another form of subtle slavery and you are not helping those people.

"In lurid colors, Tacitus paints the Roman imperial system as successive scenes of violence, intrigue, corruption, greed, and sycophancy."

"Rebel nations, such as Britain, had the cruel alternatives of open war or slavery."

Power and Servility by L.S. Mazzolani

"“In the history of Europe so far as it is known to us there are two chapters marked by a special note of infamy.” These are, it emerges, the Roman slave trade centred around Delos in the second century BCE and the transatlantic slave trade of various European nations (of which Britain was the most successful and most inhumane) in the seventeenth-nineteenth centuries."

I never said that scholars are not reliable sources. I only said that they disagree with each other which, IMHO, does not make them (as a group) unreliable. Nevertheless, there are surely statements by scholars that I would consider less reliable than other statements (by the same or other scholars). The argumentation why somebody drew a certain conclusion is very important.

When you overheard me telling an African sister she should never consider a white man because of what white people have perpetuated against blacks, you butted in and said, "Sista, do you know of how African tribes fight against other African tribes?" Your question to me eluded fact which you based on what your African fiends themselves have told you. I presented you a link and an insert from that link explaining to you how white people had their hands in that black tribal fighting, did you retract what you said? No you didn't, nor did you comment on the link I presented which was written by a Nigerian.

Oh, let me correct the history of our exchange:

Somebody asked for advice concerning an "inter-tribal" relationship and stated that her mother has problem with it.

You brought up the whites out of the blue (off-topic I would say): "The only one all black people should be staying away from dating wise and marriage wise is white people."

Then you expressed your belief that "Black people ultimately love each other no matter what, you have to believe that."

I reminded you of the present state that not ALL black people love each other.

You made some speculation about my skin colour: "[---]this is usually something a white person would bring up to prove something."

You made further speculation about me without knowing me: "From what I can detect, you are here to make sure that black people keep continuing to love you and you would never advocate them uniting, however you would conveniently keep it alive that we fight each other."

Then you wrote that the whites are responsible for any hostility between blacks themselves.

I did not deny that some whites are responsible but asked if it is ALL whites (even the white embryo).

As for your link, it wasn't very informative. That's my comment on it now if you insist on one. However, somebody else took the pain to reply you: http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-7229.128.html#msg672539

You were the one who said that historical fact is always misinterpreted and your example you gave was how scholars go back and fourth.

No, I did not say that. What I said is:

Historical "facts" might be interpreted in different ways. We both think that pedophilia and homosexuality existed in old Greek and Roman cultures but the conclusion we draw are different. Your conclusion is what you consider the "truth". My conclusion is what I consider the "truth". And, by the way, some people believe what it is written in the bible. That you and I don't share that belief doesn't prove that it is wrong.

Somegirl,

Here is some similar information. Maybe you can find it by looking up this journal. Maybe it is the journal study published elsewhere, that I got it from. I can't remember. Smile.

Quote
More specifically, in 1977, four years after the APA 'switch,' the journal "Medical Aspects of Human Sexuality" revealed that it had polled 2,500 psychiatrists on their view of what "current thinking on homosexuality" was, and, by a lopsided margin of 69% to 18% (nearly four to one, with 13%undecided). the respondents answered that "Homosexuality was usually a pathological adaptation as opposed to a normal variation."

"In lurid colors, Tacitus paints the Roman imperial system as successive scenes of violence, intrigue, corruption, greed, and sycophancy."

"Rebel nations, such as Britain, had the cruel alternatives of open war or slavery."

Power and Servility by L.S. Mazzolani

"“In the history of Europe so far as it is known to us there are two chapters marked by a special note of infamy.” These are, it emerges, the Roman slave trade centred around Delos in the second century BCE and the transatlantic slave trade of various European nations (of which Britain was the most successful and most inhumane) in the seventeenth-nineteenth centuries."

A Brief History of Western Culture by Michael Peverett on H. A. L. Fisher A History of Europe (1935)


Okay Somegirl I went to your link, I saw nothing which specifically said anything about Romans enslaving, beating, colonizing, sodomizing, etc., the English. Until you point me directly to it, I am going to have to rely on the key words you stated in this response keywords being (alternative war or slavery) They had a choice. I can imagine all those Africans who had a choice, can you  Undecided I know I would have chose war if had had matching weapons.



Quote
I never said that scholars are not reliable sources. I only said that they disagree with each other which, IMHO, does not make them (as a group) unreliable. Nevertheless, there are surely statements by scholars that I would consider less reliable than other statements (by the same or other scholars). The argumentation why somebody drew a certain conclusion is very important.

Sounds contradicting, why ask for a source then if your conclusion will be drawn from only those scholars opinions who in your opinion you feel are flawless, why not just have your own opinion then? Why not do your own research then?

If it looks like one, it is one, if it walk like one it is one. Your comment was not called for. I was already talking to an African girl who would know better than you about those tribal warfare's, remember, she was there talking about how her family did not want her with a man from another African tribe. What I told her was called for because black people should be more concerned about being with each other than we are concerned about being with white people. I wanted to assure her that her choice being a black man was the correct one as long as he was not white. What did you want to assure her of? Let me guess "Love has no color" poetic rubbish and BS.

I don't have to keep messing with my flow to say (some) white people. If you are so sure that it was only some, you wouldn't have to keep making it a point to say that we should say (some whites). If a bunch of whites was sitting around making negative comments and saying (black people) do this or that, I would know they don't mean all black people. Although they blame all black people for what some blacks do and they judge all blacks by what some blacks do.  Again, all whites benefited, even those who did not own slaves or rape black women. All of you benefited. I would like to see you disprove that statement.

I don't think, I know homosexuality existed and so did pedophilia in old Greece and Rome. Greeks today have even admitted it as I already told you. Have you seen ancient Roman art? Where man after man is lined up behind another man on his knees and each man accept the last man in line has his private parts in another mans azz. That is homosexuality. Also, the paintings of little naked boys standing staring into space as an older man reaches out to grab the young boys private parts, that is pedophilia. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know what is right in front of your face as you look in dismay at this art. Romans and Greeks were proud of Homosexuality and Pedophilia.


Quote

You don't tell me what I condemn. I will say it again, I do not condemn homosexuality. However, I understand why black people become gay. I understand that white people are the natives of homosexuality and pedophilia. I don't agree with pedophilia but if a grown man or woman wants to sleep with the same sex for whatever reason, I am not mad with them. I don't agree with how white people took homosexuality around the world convincing people that it is normal. It may be normal to them but that does not mean they should go about convincing other people that for them it is also normal. Have you heard of misery loves company? If I love what I am, yet I see that some people do not agree with what I am, If I am really happy, I would just love me and be me, not try to turn everyone into me and make them accept me. Only miserable people will do that. If Romans and Greeks would have stayed in Rome and Greece being homos', that would have been there business.

I am saying it is the truth because you said it is my percieved truth. Or, why don't you just tell me your self what do you think about the Roman art which I speak of where the grown man reaches out to touch a young boys privates and the art where grown men are on the knees inserting their private parts into the mans rectum who is in front of them?

No, I wouldn't tell them anything because those (some) blacks that are doing things I wouldn't do are still my brothers and sisters and I won't deny them to make white people look at me differently but with your being white, you don't want to claim bad white people as your brothers and sisters and therefore, you care about proving something to black people, that being, you are not like to evil whites. This is one of the reason why as a white person, you would never understand certain things. This would be one of those things that would be useful to bring up if I was to start that topic you spoke of but I have to much work to do with my own people, can't be trying to get white people to see their selves from an objective point of view.
