Racism isn't really my problem its the streotypes that people make that pisses me off  i don't have a problem with racism b/c most of the stuff that is said doesnt apply to me. like the slavery stuff and the nigger word. i don't care about those because my ancestors werent slaves and i know where i come from. |

That's ridiculous. Before AA's were brought to this continent they were just plain ol Africans, membered to the same families and ethnics that all those who were lucky or unlucky enough to not be captured and sent over here were. So in that case how is it that your ancestor were not enslaved? Our ancestors are your ancestors. 400-500 years of separation, doesn't cancel out tens or hundreds of thousands of years of togetherness in which our ancestors shared as one back in African. |

omogenaija that was bad of u to say. it is this kind of statement that infuriates me. anyway, i am determined not to be angry anymore.
this is the kind of white propaganda that divides the black world. we blacks have been divided such that we can't come together to fight for our common good. all to the advantage of the whites who continue to exploit.
we have been divided into african, carribean and african americans/black british/black canadians etc. what is all this.
we are one. abeg.

What dose that have to do with the white man.
Even be4 the white man came Africa was not united.
Villages were still in war with other tribes.And Villages.
The Osu cast is not an invention of the white man.
If we read our history on States (Cities) like the Dahomey Kingdom , Ghana , Ashanti etc etc.

ha, mamaput,i no know say u dey read o.
anyway, i'm talking about unity of the race. in this case black race. we are one. blacks.originally from africa and we should be together for our common good.
if we follow your argument there is no race that is one indeed.among whites there are germans, englich, scotts, welsh, french etc
u get what i mean?

Madam do not be annoyed but when you with your people de sleep i hide come read your grandchildren school books.
More on a serious note even the Germans discriminate among.
They call those from Hamburg Fishhead, Those from Stuttgart misers and those from Munchen they say that they do not even belong to Germany, The worst are those from former east.They give them the worst names communist , build up the wall etc.
How many Blacks even speak the same language?
You see what God did that time to scatter the people (giving them different lauguage)
Even en they use they look as far as "Who yellow pass".
Your Theory Can only work out in a Theory not in the practice.
Or maybe in a Jail were they need themselves.

omogenaija that was bad of u to say. why is that bad ? i aint racist, i know i'm black all i was saying is i know the exact country that i come from which means my ancestors werent slaves, if they were slaves then i wouldnt know that my family is orginally nigerian. sorry if i offended u in any way. |

@mamaput hmmmn i'm impressed  (make u smile small now .haba.we de quarrell?) @omogenaija u may be innocent but your words appear somewhat divisive. u know these people don't like to be reminded that they are descendants of slaves. when u remind them of that, and go ahead to remind them that it is why u are different from them, what u are effectively doing is to rub it in on them.it will hurt them.it is not good. rara o. |

i never remind black-americans that they r descendents of slaves, but i do only when they make fun of africans.

If you call them them of slaves it dose not have the same impact as if you call an African the same.
If someone calls me that i will answer it was your people that sold my people.
Fact is the white man did not enter the interior of Africa alone.
Many a times he waited at the coast for blacks to bring their fellow

Have always seen rascism on TV never experienced it until one day, I went to the recreational center in my area just to put everyday stress and pressure under control. I got to the soccer section everybody there was white. I signified my intention of joining in the game, they said thats when theres a "space" for me since both teams were complete, i agreed wit that, anyway thats the sensible thing to do.But things changed when 3 other white dudes came after my arrival, they instantly joined the teams. I was like WTF, i didnt say anything being a cool guy. When i was eventually allowed to play i ended up just running around nobody would pass the ball to me. I felt bad, packed my stuff and left them.That was when i realised what black players face in Europe. But anyways who see them, may they perish in okokoriko river.White bastards. Although there are some very nice white people. (over nice sef). |

just that they don't know which country they come from omogenaija, The African part of our idenity is not derived from country lines drawn up by whitemen centuries after we were ripped from the continent. Although you make an excellent point that all Blacks are interconnected. Name calling between us is sorta like talking badly about your grandma to make your mom mad. |
