Of course whites aren't only civilization to bring about change,  but they are the most recent and we have to deal with that.

Yeah, That was whites who brought the world the Civil Rights movement.

Yeah that was whites who forced an end to Colonialization.

Yeah that was whites who brought the idea of all races being equal to the table.

The most recent changes to all civilizations in the world came from Black People.

Steady trying to change what you said and just falling deeper and deeper into the hole.

Delf747,

No you can't play that racist, horribly insulting shyte you just said off.

I been meaning to get back to you.

Trust me. Your little remark that "the worst thing Blacks could do is unite" doesn't go unremembered by me.


Delf has eluded that remark several times and his reason for doing so was because he wasn't sure that Africans in Nairaland would fully accept it, in other words ,he wasn't sure if he had them wrapped around his finger yet, brainwashed in other words.

 As you can see, he is now very confident not to elude anymore but to just come straight out with and blatantly say it, that being " the worst thing Blacks could do is unite". Why should he even have a say so is not beyond me. He does that when he see's AA's arguing with CA's, that is when he works his divide and conquer magic. Delf is nothing but an agent, he is here to report back to white people that blacks still fall for the subtle tricks white people play on them and  I don't think he is even highly paid for his work.  Delf is a racist he cares more about getting Africans to look up to him than he is concerned with black unification. He wants Africans to think that white people are much more better for them than their own brothers an d sisters.

I'll guess you'll shut up then?

I've got work to do although I'd prefer to stick around and defend myself from racist slander and threats but I guess Americans have got to learn to grow up one day either through realising it themselves or being taught it.

I hope its soon for both of you.

China is soon going to make America look real small and insignificant.



No Delf that is what you do and now you want to turn the tables and blame Drusilla for your true intentions. You say it all the time in so many different white man subtle ways. Blacks should be thankful for what white people have done to this world. You even try to dismiss all that Africans have done for this world saying that it is all in the past and insignificant. I even tried to show you present African Contributions but you twisted your nose at it. You are so full of shyt that your bowels are hanging out. Ha, ha, ha, I learned that one from Babiosisi but I added my own little twist.

, if you get a chance, go to the "Black and white we are one" thread Read only what I said to Delf and what he said to me in return, you will see all of his subtle and blatant hypocrisy and you will see where he made the comment you mentioned him making.

AA WERE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE AFFECTED WITH THE KATRINA, THERE WERE OTHER NATIONALITY THERE TOO THAT WERE AFFECT BY THE HURRICANE.BUT ON THE OTHER HANDS, YOUR AA HAS A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY COMPARED TO ANY OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES


I am afraid you don't really know what you are talking about. I have family members who were in Katrina and I have heard true stories, not to mention what I seen on the news. Whites were affected as well but not like black people. Black people could not even get paid from their Insurance for losing their property due to some racist shyt white Insurance people tried to add to the rules of payment and conditions. Black people were passed up in order to go and rescue White people in the rich parts. Some of the poor Whites suffered because they lived amongst blacks but that is the only reason why they suffered. To this day, many black people from Katrina are still homeless and misplaced. Agency's have been using Katrina to profit from but have been doing nothing for the Katrina victims. Here where I live, many of the young black girls who were victims of Katrina, they have turned to prostitution to take care of their children.


Also, the money that was supposed to go towards rebuilding and strengthening the Levy's was not spent on the Levy's but was spent on something else. If the Levy's were to protect rich white land and property, the money would have went to the Levy's.


You can say what you want but I don't think yo really know.


As far as delf saying they came to rescue black people from Katrina, ask him how many days that took? Then ask him how many days it took for Bush to order Americans to go and help the people who were affected by tsunami? America takes care of their own? You people don't know what you are talking about.


You people must think that America is the land of milk and honey.


If African Americans had it so good, why is it that African Americans have not ever been reperated, yet America has reperated Chinese and Japanese and they even gave the Native Americans some land and casinos. Not only that, how can African Americans have so many benefits when America is an open book to all that come to America. White people are the only ones who have not worked so hard to obtain the benefits of America. Anything black people get in America, they work damn hard for it, not because anything was given to them so please get that straight in your mind.

Delf747,

What is amazing to me, is you are promoting "whites gave africans everything" as a way for Africans not to feel like victims.

Well, if they think only whites did something and africans did nothing, how will they become INDEPENDENT and NON-VICTIMS?

By following and loving whites and hoping whites give them some more Christmas presents?

Ah. Now I see your thinking.

Whites are Gods, who did everything for the world, Africans should just worship and beg from them, if they do not want to lose the favor of the white gods.

Sick but I recognize the thinking from more than just your writing.

Delf747, these guys are right, you're no friend of Nigerians. We had our world way before Europeans woke whoever you imagine they woke up. We had our way of life and we weren't inflicted with all the diseases and new levels of poverty and hardships you "woke" us up with.

I'm sorry, was everyone else in the world sleeping accept for white people? Sleeping dead eh?  That's news, while everyone sleeps, white people are awake.

Look at a modern map of the world.

It is oriented along the Earths magnetic field.

This is a practical neccessity for navigation.

Did white people invent the magnetic field? If not, I don't see delfs relevance for bringing this up.  Undecided


Quote
It is not global white supremacy.

and I was beginning to think it was the awakes who thought they were superior to the asleeps.  Undecided




Quote
You are asking me to make conjectures based upon scant written or scientific evidence.

At a push I will say African people invented language, mathematics and what it means to be human.

That was all a long time ago though.

Ubuntu is an African word meaning 'I am human because we all are human'.


Pure subtlety but not for me. For me, this is quite blatant to see what he was implying and then he tried to down play his
subtlety  ( in case any awake Africans noticed) by talking about the meaning of and African word meaning I am Human. He is so full of it.

Check out the keyword I highlighted him saying. Do you mean to tell me Delf has  to be pushed to believe Africans could have done anything worth doing?

Look how Delf justified white people stealing America.



Quote
The AI's never had any concept of 'ownership' so they could never be called rightful owners. I'm afraid it might sound callous but that's the truth - at least in the sense that we think of ownership.



No doubt about it, Delf's total regard is for white righteousness and we see what he perceives that to be.


He is only in Nairaland to laugh at Nigerians, he has to be.  Look at how he has the nerve to say the things he says. He must think that Nigerians are so asleep that they will agree with him or not refute anything at all to him about what he say's in regards to African people. That has to be his reason for being here. He wants to see just how many black people are still sleeping.


I noticed that when Delf made that statement about Europeans waking up Africa, no Nigerian came to help me dispute what Delf said. I was left standing alone.


I bet Delf really got his kicks that day.

If this is really Delf's premise, he wouldn't go about talking about all that white people have presently- technological,  medicinal wise, and historically contributed to the entire world. Where is he getting that information from if not biased history books written by white people with a specific agenda?

Donzman,

My words are figurative not literal.

Of course Africa and Asia had ancient and rich cultures prior to European expansion and still do, but people's lives were lived almost entirely locally - wherever they were.

People didn't travel anywhere like as much as they do today and they certainly never flew!

What was over the horizon was mostly a matter for conjecture and myths.

So when I said 'woke up' I meant to the presence of the rest of the whole Earth, all its continents (including the ones people were living on but not aware of) and people.  Like many people would have wondered when they encountered European explorers - who are these weird people and where do they come from?

This involved a whole load of technological break throughs too like the printing press, navigational tools, maps which allowed people to find their way back home after a long journey overseas, new types of ship, etc,

I certainly never meant to suggest that Europeans were Gods or anything as ridiculous as that.

And yes their Monarchs were trying to increase their power against their rivals - sometimes at any cost - and hence the evil atrocities of Leopold.

I'm not in a position to make moral judgements about the world so I take a secular line based on science and tech.

At the end of the day nobody born with a mouth to feed is innocent and we are pretty much all in the same boat.

And whatever Europeans did - good or bad - had already been done by civilizations previously but on a smaller scale.

Europeans are not original or unique.

Why are European history books filled with their "discovery's"Huh

Don't Europeans believe that they were the ones who were woken up to a big world they never knew existed?

Of course.

So Delf747, for you to be giving MORE credit to the Europeans, than even THEY desire!!!!!

Tells me that you are not only white, but you are a white supremacist.

Their the ones who always prop up white things even more than other whites.
