Thank you Islander. You have made my day.

I love ya. You keep on moving. I will be the first to bend over and let you stand on my back. So you can get higher in this world.

Your worthy. Smile.

No No, there would be no need for you to bend over and all that crap. I was raised to work hard for whatever ineed. That's why during school vacations, myself and other siblings had to work on our Poultry farm to earn money to purchase books etc for the next school year.  One year I decided to use my money to purchase a "Walkman", my parents made me wear a pair of old red shoes to school since they weren't going to get me a new pair.

And I do not hate African Americans, if you read my first post, I have befriended a few since residing here.  My problem with the majority of them is that they are NOT goal-oriented.

Kudos to you, and I mean it,  NO hard feelings,

Fynewaka,

I am African American.

That means you've got your root in Africa.

Do you believe the US government should make heavy reparation for Africa, and it can come in whatever way for the gross injustice against our forefathers?

Subjecting them to all manner of labour against their desire and will?

Drucilla,
I am black, well my grandmother was Irish, my grandfather a black Carib (combination of african and Yellow carib)  I consider myself very much African.  I am fully aware of the struggles that AA have endured and still continue to endure.  However, it pains me I know that they can do much better.  Yes racism is alive and kicking in this country, I have experienced it firsthand, this does not in anyway give them the right to become complacent. 

Every minority race has had to deal with some form of oppression.  That in itself builds character.  I believe with the right focus, AA can make drastic changes.

PS> Look at the Jews, they endured so much, however, their bank accounts are singing a different tune, right?Huh

Fynewaka,

Africans were already paid, gin and guns for the slaves they sold.
Then of course they paid the blood debt to the slaves with colonialism.*

And America has already paid in blood it's debt to the slaves with the civil war. *

As you can see, African Americans now have to collect the financial penalty from America.
And some land we are owed in Africa.

And everything about slavery will be paid right up.

I agree 101% with you.  
Slaves sold slaves for gin and guns,
Yes the civil war was a payment for such hedious acts by the Europeans.
And yes yes, Exo 21:16 shall surely come to pass.

The more the merrier. Unlike some here. I really believe the bible meant it when it talks about giving to and helping the poor or the poor in over 1000+ scriptures.

Africa and the Carribean governments don't give no phuck about their people.

They spend more time killing the people and robbing the people, than trying to feed them.

That's why you ran here, remember?


i was actually born so i didn't run anywhere. just because we don't have welfare doesn't mean our government doesn't care about us. welfare just makes someone lazy so that they do not have to work. i know and i'm sure you know, there are alot of people who are on welfare who shouldn't be, only because of laziness.

If Monicagate had happened somewhere in Africa, I bet CNN would have recycled it over and over. If a black president had said he did not have sexual relation with an intern but an 'inappropriate intimate contact' it would have been a reference point, whenever Africa was mentioned.

There is so much potentialities embedded in an African, but the west are out to frustrate these geniuses for the obvious fear of eqauling them.

Naija_Diva,

I don't know how old you are but do you remember when whites would say to each other: "I worked like a Nigger today." Meaning that they worked hard that day?

Do you remember that Blacks in America until the 1960's or so were considered the hardest workers in America?

Quote
The Oxford English Dictionary:

Nigger (‘nIg∂(r)), Also niggar. [Alteration of NEGER. Cf. Also NIGER and NIGRE.]

1. a. A Negro. (Colloq. And usu. contemptuous.) Except in Black English vernacular, where it remains common, now virtually restricted to contexts of deliberate and contemptuous ethnic abuse. b. Loosely or incorrectly applied to members of other dark-skinned races. c. to work like a nigger, to work exceptionally hard. orig. US.

http://kpearson.faculty.tcnj.edu/Dictionary/nigger.htm

The idea that Black Americans are just lazy is a rather new idea,for a measley few welfare crumbs.

However when whites recieved massive help from the government nobody called them lazy:

Quote
In 1935, the US. Congress passed the Social Security Act, guaranteeing an income for millions of workers after retirement. However, the Act specifically excluded domestic and agricultural workers, many of whom were Mexican-American, African-American, and Asian-American. These workers were therefore not guaranteed an income after retirement, and had less opportunity to save, accumulate, and pass wealth on to future generations.

The US. property appraisal system created in the 1930s tied property value and eligibility for government loans to race. Thus, all-White neighborhoods received the government's highest property value ratings, and White people were eligible for government loans. Between 1934 and 1962, less than 2% of government-subsidized housing went to non-White people.[2]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutional_racism

AA think the blacks are lazy argument because of welfare is a really rather convenient hypocrisy.

@Drucilla,
I noticed you did made mention on one of my earlier statements( well you paraphrased).It's regarding Blacks in the early 1960's being refered to as "the Jews of Harlem", a name which came about as a result of their urge to work.


And once again, welfare isn't a bad thing, just when it is abused as it is here in the mighty USA. 

Also Fyne raised an important question regarding repartiation. I feel that Blacks have been dealt an unfair hand. Afterall the Jews were reinburst for their suffering during the holocaust.


@Naija
So you were born in the USA? Kudos to you for being such a focused young lady. With that mind-set you will go places. Keep it up,

Haiti- first black republic

KWAME N---- GHANA

M. Luther KINg--- afro american

and besides black immigrants have been coming to americas as early as the 1950s when it was still segregated. More nigerians came in the early 1960s.

We are the Africans in America.

If we freed ourselves only.

Drugilla, your madness does mount to dizzying heights.

If you fought for your freedom, you were fighting for yourselves. I don't remember anytime any foreigners came to fight for freedom for Nigerians. However, I do remember that foreigners came, and still do come, into our country to pillage our resources.

you are a deluded American thinking that America does any good for anybody in this world. I can also point to the democracy your nation has taken to Iraq and the hundereds of thousands who have died since you stepped in there.

CURRENT ASUU STRIKE

ASUU STRIKE

it is high time we discussed the ongoing ASUU strike.
A good number of universities has pulled out though.
But please what baffles me most is why STATE UNIVERSITIES SHOULD ALSO BE GOING ON STRIKE. IT IS NOT ONLY OUTRAGEOUS, BUT ALSO RIDICULOUS AND SUPERFLUOUS. For Christ sake, state universities lecturers get their money promptly. Infact posterity will always commend any state governor that decides to sack all the lecturers in his state universities.
please what do you think?
