Kwame Nkrumah  Nkrumah with Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Kwame Nkrumah (September 21, 1909 - April 27, 1972) was an anti-colonial, anti-neo-colonial, and anti-imperialist African leader from Ghana. Nkrumah was the founder and first president of the modern Ghanaian state and emerged as one of the most influential Pan-Africanists of the 20th century. He was born in Nkroful, Gold Coast (now Ghana). Educated at Achimota School, Accra and the Roman Catholic Seminary, Nkrumah taught at the Catholic school in Axim. In 1935 he left Africa for the USA, receiving a BA from Lincoln University, Pennsylvania in 1939. He also earned a Masters of Science in education from the University of Pennsylvania in 1942 and a Masters of Arts in philosophy the following year. While lecturing in political science at Lincoln he was elected president of the African Students Organization of America and Canada. During his time in the United States, Nkrumah visited and preached in black Presbyterian Churches in Philadelphia and New York City. He read books about politics and divinity. He encountered the ideas of Marcus Garvey. He also tutored other students in philosophy. He arrived in London in 1945 intending to study at the LSE. But following a meeting with George Padmore he helped to organise the Fifth Pan-African Congress in Manchester, England. After that he began to work for the decolonisation of Africa and became Vice-President of the West African Students Union. Nkrumah was later awarded honorary doctorates by Lincoln University, Moscow State University; Cairo University in Cairo, Egypt; Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland; Humboldt University in the former East Berlin; and other universities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwame_Nkrumah |

Yes, Rev. Jessie Jackson speaks for Africans . Now I know for certain that you are absolutely MAD. A non-african speaks for Africans? what do you really think the we are in africa? you must think that we are unable to speak for ourselves and that all africans are daft. No wonder you decide to call yourselves africans so that you can be the self imposed leaders. America wants to rule the world so black people in america want to rule africa. Ogun go demolish all of una joy. una no go ever know joy for una lives again. |

what's your definition for "African"?
adj.
Of or relating to Africa or its peoples, languages, or cultures.
n.
1. A native or inhabitant of Africa.
2. A person of African descent.
How is Drusilla not African? take your own definition and see if the drugwoman fits into it. where are drugilla's relatives in africa? what language does drugilla speak? does the drug one have african culture or american culture? she even denounces african/nigerian ways of doing things preferring the ways of america. if you're a native of somewhere, you know where your land or family is. where is drugilla's family house? no one can claim to be a european without having a passport of one country or the other. in the same way, you cannot claim to be african without having a national identity. i hope we're not being daft here and accepting just any dung that some failed and unrehabilitable american women would throw at us. anyone who wants to claim africa has a national identity. I know that many Ghanaians don't like being referred to as Nigerians and Nigerians don't generally like being called Ghanaians. You are unlikely to find a Nigerian who allows you to refer to him or her as Rwandan. WHERE IN AFRICA IS DRUGILLA FROM? |

Nelson Mandela  Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (born July 18, 1918) was the first President of South Africa to be elected in fully-representative democratic elections. Before his presidency, Mandela was a prominent anti-apartheid activist and leader of the African National Congress (ANC), and was sentenced to life imprisonment for sabotage after he went underground and began the ANC's armed struggle. Through his 27 years in prison, much of it spent in a cell on Robben Island, Mandela became the most widely known figure in the struggle against apartheid. Among opponents of apartheid in South Africa and internationally, he became a cultural icon of freedom and equality comparable with Mahatma Gandhi. However, the apartheid government and nations sympathetic to it condemned him and the ANC as communists and terrorists, and he became a figure of hatred among many South African whites, supporters of apartheid, and opponents of the ANC. Initially committed to non-violent mass struggle, Mandela was arrested with 150 others on 5 December 1956 and charged with treason. The marathon Treason Trial of 1956-61 followed, and all were acquitted. From 1952-59 the ANC experienced disruption as a new class of Black activists (Africanists) emerged in the townships demanding more drastic steps against the National Party regime. The ANC leadership of Albert Luthuli, Oliver Tambo and Walter Sisulu felt not only that events were moving too fast, but also that their leadership was challenged. They consequently bolstered their position by alliances with small White, Coloured and Indian political parties in an attempt to appear to have a wider appeal than the Africanists. The 1955 Freedom Charter Kliptown Conference was ridiculed by the Africanists for allowing the 100,000-strong ANC to be relegated to a single vote in a Congress alliance, in which four secretary-generals of the five participating parties were members of the secretly reconstituted South African Communist Party (SACP), strongly adhering to the Moscow line. In 1959, the ANC lost its most militant support when most of the Africanists, with financial support from Ghana and significant political support from the Transvaal-based Basotho, broke away to form the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) under Robert Sobukwe and Potlako Leballo. |

The 99th was ready for combat duty during some of the Allies' earliest actions in the North African campaign, and was transported to Casablanca, Morocco, on the USS Mariposa. From there, they travelled by train to Oujda near Fes, and made their way to Tunis to operate against the Luftwaffe. The flyers and ground crew were largely isolated by racial segregation practices, and left with little guidance from battle-experienced pilots. Operating directly under the Twelfth Air Force and the XII Air Support Command, the 99th FS and the Tuskegee Airmen were bounced around between three groups, the 33rd FG, 324th FG, and 79th FG. The 99th's first combat mission was to attack the small but strategic volcanic island of Pantelleria in the Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and Tunisia, in preparation for the Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943. The 99th moved to Sicily while attached to the 33rd Fighter Group,[1] whose commander, Col. William W. Momyer, fully involved the squadron, and the 99th received a Distinguished Unit Citation for its performance in Sicily.
The Tuskegee Airmen were initially equipped with P-40 Warhawks, later with P-47 Thunderbolts, and finally with the airplane that they would become most identified with, the P-51 Mustang.
On January 27 and 28, 1944, German FW-190 fighter-bombers raided Anzio, where the Allies had conducted amphibious landings on January 22. Attached to the 79th Fighter Group, eleven of the 99th Fighter Squadron's pilots shot down enemy fighters, including Capt. Charles B. Hall, who shot down two, bringing his aerial victory total to three. The eight fighter squadrons defending Anzio together shot down a total of 32 German aircraft, and the 99th had the highest score among them with 13.[2]
The squadron won its second Distinguished Unit Citation on May 12-14, 1944, while attached to the 324th Fighter Group, attacking German positions on Monastery Hill (Monte Cassino), attacking infantry massing on the hill for a counterattack, and bombing a nearby strongpoint to force the surrender of the German garrison to Moroccan Goumiers.
By this point, more graduates were ready for combat, and the all-black 332nd Fighter Group had been sent overseas with three fighter squadrons: the 100th, 301st and 302nd. Under the command of Col. Benjamin O. Davis, the squadrons were moved to mainland Italy, where the 99th FS, assigned to the group on May 1, joined them on June 6. The Airmen of the 332d Fighter Group escorted bombing raids into Austria, Hungary, Poland, and Germany.
Flying escort for heavy bombers, it racked up an impressive combat record, often entering combat against greater numbers of superior German aircraft, and coming out victorious. Reportedly, the Luftwaffe awarded the Airmen the nickname, "Schwarze Vogelmenschen," or Black Birdmen. The Allies called the Airmen "Redtails" or "Redtail Angels," because of the distinctive crimson paint on the vertical stabilizers of the unit's aircraft. Although bomber groups would request Redtail escort when possible, few bomber crew members knew at the time that the Redtails were black. It has been said that the Redtails were the only fighter group who never lost a bomber to enemy fighters [3]. This belief is now being reassessed, as Air Force records and eyewitness accounts, indicate that at least a few bombers were lost to enemy fire [4] [5], but nonetheless the record remains distinguished.
A B-25 bomb group, the 477th Bombardment Group (Medium), was forming in the US but completed its training too late to see action. The 99th Fighter Squadron after its return to the United States became part of the 477th, redesignated the 477th Composite Group.
By the end of the war, the Tuskegee Airmen were credited with 109 Luftwaffe aircraft shot down,[2] a patrol boat run aground by machine-gun fire, and destruction of numerous fuel dumps, trucks and trains. The squadrons of the 332nd FG flew more than 15,000 sorties on 1,500 missions. The unit received recognition through official channels and was awarded a Distinguished Unit Citation for a mission flown March 24, 1945, escorting B-17s to bomb the Daimler-Benz tank factory at Berlin, Germany, an action in which its pilots destroyed three Me-262 jets in aerial combat. The 99th Fighter Squadron in addition received two DUC's, the second after its assignment to the 332nd FG.[1] The Tuskegee Airmen were awarded several Silver Stars, 150 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Bronze Stars, and 744 Air Medals.
In all, 992 pilots were trained in Tuskegee from 1940 to 1946. About 445 deployed overseas, and 150 Airmen lost their lives in training or combat. [6]           |

@Drusilla
I don't know if this is the right topic to post this. . . but i have to salute the strength of my people and yours who overcame such adversitycheers
Former US Presidents' view of Black People
The White culture has performed a fundamental function to augment “laws of the land.” The American Legal System assists Whites to make them feel they are permanent, safe and never-ending. It causes Blacks to jump in UNISON on the back of the wagon. We establish our identities with White Race principles because Caucasian ideologies promise to connect—a significance that will never perish. Look at what the United States' former Presidents had to say about Black people. White opinions are staunchly embedded into this country's history. Pay close attention to Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson can also be labeled one of the "Founders of Trickery."
Thomas Jefferson
“When freed (the Negro) is to be removed beyond the reach of mixture.” In 1784 he wrote, “Our confederacy, (the United States) must be viewed as the nest from which all America, North and South is to be peopled.” In 1801 he continued, “When our rapid multiplication will expand itself over the whole northern, if not the southern continent, with a people speaking the same language, governed in similar forms, and by similar laws, nor can we contemplate with satisfaction either blot or mixture on that surface.”
James Madison
“The remarkable increase of slaves, as shown (sic) by the census, results from the comparative defect of moral and prudential restraint on the sexual connation; from the absence, at the same, of that counteracting licentiousness of intercourse, of which the worst examples are to be traced when the African trade, as in the West Indies, kept the number o females less than that of males. “.(free Blacks are) generally idle and depraved; appearing to retain the bad qualities of the slaves, with whom they continue to associate, without acquiring any of the good qualities of the whites, from whom they continue separated by prejudices against their color and other peculiarities.”
Abraham Lincoln
“I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, not to intermarry with white people; and I say in addition to this that there is a difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together in terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be a position of superior and inferior and as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.
Andrew Johnson
“This is a country for white men and by God as long as I am President, it shall be a government for white men.”
James Garfield
“I have a strong feeling of repugnance when I think of the Negro being made our political equal and I would be glad if they could be colonized, sent to heaven or got rid of in a decent way.”
Theodore Roosevelt
“Blacks are a perfectly stupid race.” In 1901 he wrote, “I have not been able to think out any solution to the terrible problem offered by the presence of the Negro on this continent. He is here and can neither be killed nor driven away.” As far as Native American/Indians were concerned he once said, “I don’t go so far as to think that any good Indian s are dead Indians but I believe nine out o ten are, and I shouldn’t inquire too closely into the health of the tenth.”
William Howard Taft
“Your race is adapted to be a race of farmers, first, last and for all times,” he told a group of Black college students.
Woodrow Wilson
In his five-volume History of the American People, Wilson described the Ku Klux Klan as having been organized by a group of idle young men in Pulaski, Tennessee as a social club for mere association and amusement. They named it Kuklos, Greek for circle. Wilson proceeded to write: “Secrecy and mystery were at the heart of the pranks they planned: secrecy with regard to the membership of their Circle, mystery with regard to the place and objects of its meetings; and the mystery of disguise and of silent parade when the comrades rode abreast at night when the moon was up: a white mask, a tall cardboard hat, the figures of a man and horse sheeted like a ghost, and the horses feet muffled to move without sound of their approach. It was the delightful discovery of the thrill of awesome fear, the woeful looking for calamity that swept through the country sides as they moved from pace to place upon their silent visitations, coming no man could say whence, going upon no man knew what errand, that put thought of mischief into the minds of the frolicking comrades. It threw Negroes into a very ecstasy of panic to see these sheeted ‘Ku Klux’ move near them in the shrouded night; and their comic fear stimulated the lads who excited it to many an extravagant prank and mummery. No one knew or could discover who the masked players were; no one could say whether they meant serious business or only innocent mischief; and the zest of the business lay in keeping the secret close. Year by year the organization spread until at last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan, an “Invisible Empire of the South,” bound together in loose organization, to protect the southern country from some of the ugliest hazards of a time of revolution.”
Warren Harding (The Well-Known Black President)
“Men of both races may well stand uncompromisingly against any suggestion of social equality. This is not a question of social equality, but a question of recognizing a fundamental, eternal, inescapable difference. Racial amalgamation there cannot be.
Harry Truman
“I am strongly of the opinion Negroes ought to be in Africa, yellow men in Asia and white men in Europe and America.” In a letter to his daughter Truman described the White House waiters as “an army of coons.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The fact that Blacks were entitled to political and economic opportunity did not mean necessarily that everyone has to mingle socially or “that a Negro should court my daughter.”
Renaissance Magazine
Thomas Jefferson’s View of Blacks is especially puzzling since he fathered Black children.
(The lover of a Black mistress--Sally Hemmings and the father of Black Children. Television has glorified the love relationship between Jefferson and Hemmings. What a hoax some of us tend to believe).
Thomas Jefferson, who was the third president of the US, presented a hard act for Warren to follow. Jefferson was the author of the Declaration of Independence and one of the professed great champions of human freedom and the rights of man. He even built a home on Monticello--his plantation--with his mistress, Black children and other slaves--that stands today as a monument. The Constitutional framers’ attitude toward liberty and equality believed that all men--at least White men--were equally entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Framers changed “pursuit of happiness” to “property” in the Bill of Rights. Like the Declaration, the Constitution refers to “men,” not to “slaves/chattel” who enjoyed neither liberty nor equality (Burns, 101). Read the following, and you don’t know who is writing--Jefferson or Adolf Hitler:
These disapprovals according to Jefferson are political, physical and moral. The first difference, which strikes us, is that of color. Whether the black of the Negro resides in the reticular membrane between the skin and scarf-skin, or in the scarf-skin itself; whether it proceeds from the color of the blood, the color of the bile, or from that of some other secretion, the difference is fixed in nature, and is as real as if its seat and their own judgment in favor of the whites, declared by their preference of them, as uniformly as is the preference of the Octoroon for the Black women over those of his own species. The circumstance of superior beauty, is thought worthy attention in the breeding of our horses, dogs, and other domestic animals; why not in that of man?
Besides those of color, figure, and hair, there are other physical distinctions proving a difference of race. They have less hair on the face and body. They secrete less by the kidneys, and more by the glands of the skin, which gives them a very strong and disagreeable odor. This greater degree of occurrence renders them more tolerant of heat, and less so of cold, than the whites. Perhaps too a difference of structure in the pulmonary apparatus with skillful experimentation discovering to be the principal regulator of animal heat.
They seem to require less sleep. A Black, after hard labor through the day, will be induced by the slightest amusements to sit up till midnight, or later, though knowing he must be out with the first dawn of the morning. They are brave and more adventuresome. But this may perhaps proceed from foresight, which prevents their seeing danger until it is present. When present, Blacks do not go through it with more coolness or steadiness than Whites. They are more spirited behind their female: but love seems with them to be more an eager desire, than a tender delicate mixture of sentiment and sensation. Their grief is temporary. An animal whose body is at rest, and who does not reflect, must be disposed to sleep.
Comparing them by their faculties of memory, reason, and imagination, it appears to me, that in memory they are equal to the Whites; in reason much inferior. One could scarcely be found capable of tracing and comprehending the investigations of Euclid; and that in imagination they are dull, tasteless, and anomalous. It would be unfair to follow them to Africa for this investigation. We will consider them here, on the same stage with the Whites, and where the facts are of doubtful authenticity on which a judgment is to be formed. It will be right to make great allowances for the difference of condition, of education, of conversation, of the sphere in which they move. Many millions of them have been brought to and born in America.
Religion indeed has produced a Phyllis Wheatley; but it could not produce a poet. The compositions published under her name are below the dignity of criticism. The heroes of the Dunciad are to her, as Hercules to the author of that poem. Ignatius Sancho has approached nearer to merit in composition; yet his letters do more honors to the heart than the head.
They breathe the purest effusions of friendship and general philanthropy, and show how great a degree of the latter may be compounded with strong religious zeal. The improvement of the Blacks in body and mind, in the first instance of their mixture with the whites, has been observed by every one, and proves that their inferiority is not the effect merely of their condition of life, I advance it therefore as a suspicion only, that the blacks, whether originally a distinct race, or made distinct by time and circumstances, are inferior to the whites in the endowments both of body and mind.
This unfortunate difference of color, and perhaps of faculty, is a powerful obstacle to the emancipation of these people. Many of their advocates, while they wish to vindicate the liberty of human nature, are anxious also to preserve its dignity and beauty. The slave, when made free, might mix with, without staining the blood of his master. But with us a second is necessary, unknown to history. When freed, he is to be removed beyond the reach of mixture.

AA have been through all them 'ideas' let's integrate, lets be really good, lets clean up our act, lets assimulate, etc, etc.
It's a waste of time and giving people true information can help them get over those first stages sooner rather than the time that we KNOW will come later, when they realize on their own that it is all a joke.
In the west you can't be equal unless you act white and have white skin.
As James Baldwin said: I have drank my share of dry martini's and it did not do a damn thing for me.
Assimulation, Integration, just be a good boy, none of those work. I don't care how many white ways you adopt and how smart you are in college.
At the end of the day, your still going to go home to your white suburb and the police will be called on you by your neighbors who are still shocked to see a blackman there.

Chinua Achebe Chinua Achebe (born November 16, 1930) is a Nigerian novelist and poet, an esteemed and controversial literary critic, and one of the most widely read authors of the 20th century. A diplomat in the ill-fated Biafran government of 1967-1970, Achebe's work is primarily interested in African politics, the depiction of Africa and Africans in the West, and the intricacies of pre-colonial African culture and civilization, as well as the effects of colonialization on African societies. Achebe's 1958 magnum opus Things Fall Apart, a historical novel that considers the effects of colonialization on Igbo society, has been translated into over 50 languages. Well known for his classic critical text on Joseph Conrad, Achebe's 2001 Home and Exile reiterated his long-standing opinion that Africa and Africans were being inaccurately and unfairly marginalized by European and Western-oriented intellectuals.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinua_Achebe"The story is everlasting" the old man says. It continues beyond the war and the warrior.

To Donzman, Your stupidity knows no bounds, what happened to your polar shifting hypothesis?. . Ode! Your banal sarcasm only reminds me of Noah's arc. Asabas are Igbos and even at that, I'm not half Asaba. My grandmother from my mother's side is from Asaba, my mother is from the HEART of Igboland, Enugwu-Ukwu, Di Okpala Nri. What an idiot, why do you say things you know nothing about? They are really Igbos, but is not my fault or yours that they often than not come across as confused in the issue of identity Secondly, they do not call me "Nwa Onyigbo". They say "Umuaka si Igbo bia", geez, how old are you?. . .Age is NOT equal to wisdom because you're as wise as a wild animal. You keep falling into the same trap over and over again. Like how you kept talking shit about how I'm from Nnewi, your ignorance kills me. Are you just unnecessarily being garrulous or just another opportunity to show how quarelsome you can be, what is the difference beetwen ''nwa Onyigbo and Umuaka si Igbo bia, the two statements can only be used in the same context, they both mean that you are not one of them, my good friend Drusilla said that you like talking just to be hard, but the burden of making sense at the same time is not one of the things you ever consider,by the way is it not genius of me to come that close, from Nnewi to Oraifite is a treckable distance Donzman = 100% Igbo, take you rubbish elsewhere. there is no question about this, am not saying you are not, try to put what people say into proper context before you fulminate, cause damn!. My grandmother's lastname, "Njokamma". . .Does that sound Igbo enough for you?. . .What about her first name, Nwakaego?. . .Haha!
My mom is from Enugwu-Ukwu, my father is from Oraifite. I'm not LOST one like you, thanks for displaying your stupidity once again. Concerning my brother or me not looking Igbo, I attribute it to stupidity. I grew up in Igboland, nobody mistook me or any of my brothers for strangers so where you get this wacky idea of me being upset people discriminate against me because I do not look Igbo (whatever that is), I do not know. I can see you are very passionate about your Igboness, is all good but try to understand that other people are equally passionate of whom they think and know they are and respect that , cause what ever you say won't change what formed peoples opinion of themselves I think I know why you're upset, you have a mixed kid and yeah he looks more Igbo than Donzman, ODE!! yeah he does look Igbo and let me give you some advice, if we ever meet in real life don't say jack about my son cause amma api ji gi onu. No wonder you were in another thread claiming you're Yoruba by birth, only to turn around and claim you're not. Stupidity ehh, it's chronic. when you lie don't forget that an evidence could be requested, please provide where I said the things you stated above http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-15698.192.html#msg894453 , put what ever you read into proper context before replying cause damn!

My purpose for posting up such information was not to make anyone happy, sick, sad or any other one particular emotion, but rather to simply educate a few folks on some facts about an aspect off the AA community in which they may not have known about due to a severe case of character assassination by the world media about this particular community. A media in which makes it a front line point to paint the said community in a less than stiller view. If you or anyone else knew anything about the creation of this event called Black History Month, than you and they would know that its single most dynamic purpose was not to make folks feel happy, joyful, sad or any other type of way, BUT, MORE ENLIGHTENED, because it was simply created to educate, not black folks, but ALLLL folks on just what the black race hase given to and or contributed to this world we all share as human beans. Now many confused blacks and arrogant whites and others in this day and age may come sly out the mouth with dumbazz comment like, "Oh, but why should blacks get a History month, that's not necessary anymore!"   PLEEEEASE!! I simply tell them to take a look through a national and or world history book of their liking and or take on a comparable class if they will, and come back to me with a report on just what they've learned about the black mans many contribution to the world and or this nation from reading through that book or taking that class, and upon doing so, I won't have to tell them why, because their answer would have already been answered by then. A Niece of mine once took on the challenge and the result was as I expected; she couldn't name but 4 black men and or women, ever even being mentioned in her history book, and they all were the regular-old-common cut and past lineup of Martin Luther, Harriette Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Booker T., and another of usual 1 or 2 more token mentions that they usually like to throw in the mix as conclusion of the 3 or 4 page cameo they commonly give Black History in those, on average, 300, 400 or more paged His-Story books. Whether some folks want to be blind and hide from the truth and or want to be sensible and open up their eyes to realty, the truth will always remain reality, and the realty is that MOST people in this world, including MANY black folks, are walking around with a solid belief that blacks contribution to society, now and throughout history is and has always been little to nothing of SIGNIFICANCE, and in a sense, are an overall USELESS RACE, an overall DRAG on mankind with negatives amongst them being of the norm and the positives the abnorm. Argue that if you want, it makes me no difference. If the Event helps to teach but one, something, anything, in which they didn't know about in regards to the positive achievements being made by blacks today, and the countless ones made in the past, then the purpose of the whole event has been achieved, and via my observation in the time that I've spent on this board prior to my creating this thread, I've seen that there was certainly quite a few folks on this site that needed the teachings if this information pronto. They've obviously had not seriously taken the time to relish in the teachings of this month at any one point during their stay and or presence here in this nation. In turn they were consistently posting outlandish comments about the AA community's perceived negative aspects and presenting them as the norm amongst the community. They would not listen to sensible contradiction so I decided to post undeniable fact for them to attempt to disregard, and then once the deed was done, some claimed they knew such things all along.  Sure they did; and I was just refreshing their memory, of course. |

@925 Are you just unnecessarily being garrulous or just another opportunity to show how quarelsome you can be, what is the difference beetwen ''nwa Onyigbo and Umuaka si Igbo bia, the two statements can only be used in the same context, they both mean that you are not one of them, Smarten up an admit you're wrong, it does not mean the same thing. Umuaka si Igbo bia implies that they came from Igboland. Asabas are Igbos but do not reside on traditional Igboland which is why they refer to anyone East of the Niger as "Ndi si Igbo bia". Do I need to school you now? is all good but try to understand that other people are equally passionate of whom they think and know they are and respect that , cause what ever you say won't change what formed peoples opinion of themselves I do not respect falsehood and self deceit. If you're mixed, let it be so, don't go around claiming what you're not!! yeah he does look Igbo and let me give you some advice, if we ever meet in real life don't say jack about my son cause amma api ji gi onu. My friend you're weak, you go from thread to thread insulting black women, how strong of a man can you possibly be? @Hero

Who are you kidding?. . .We both know the guys you posted are far from the norm, the norm represents those teens who push trolleys full of babies. Haha!  |

The fact that most of AA's richest are either sportsmen or people in the entertainment industry tells u something.
Oprah and the BET founder are exceptions but the later is alleged to no longer be a billionaire since he lost half of his wealth in a divorce settlement
It's obscene comments like this in which prompted me to post this thread. |

There's nothing obscene about that statement, the richest AA's are either in sports or music.

A lot of people complained, why don't AA do like the Asian immigrants and have like these borrowing money groups to start even more business's. Well, when young black men starting selling music tapes out of their trunks. They found a way to consolidate more money in one Ghetto Blackman's hands and the rest is history. Smile. It's a neat little system of Ghetto Wealth transfer. You just needed for Black people to want to hear what you said, you did not need any whites to like it. |

To Donzman, @925
Smarten up an admit you're wrong, it does not mean the same thing. Umuaka si Igbo bia implies that they came from Igboland. Asabas are Igbos but do not reside on traditional Igboland which is why they refer to anyone East of the Niger as "Ndi si Igbo bia". Do I need to school you now? So Donzman now decides which land is traditional Igbo land or not, you are very naive my dear friend, most of these guys are saying that they are from Benin but happens to be residing in Igbo land, Zahymaka would give a good and supposedly free lecture on this subject and this thread http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-16220.0.html is my own free of charge contribution, go through it you would really learn a lot. I do not respect falsehood and self deceit. If you're mixed, let it be so, don't go around claiming what you're not!! You can't really change the way this is perceived in America, so just let it go. My friend you're weak, you go from thread to thread insulting black women, how strong of a man can you possibly be? So are you now implying that NINETOFIVE can not pi ji e Donzman onu, you need to think again, and by the way what has color got to do with the way a woman should be treated, stop being racist, I treat all women the same, if you are looking for solidarity from Sista, put it straight to her, am not too much into semantics but is so easy to read between the lines of your statement. |
