You are right brother, but do you think african people know what is going on at all? how many times is the ferguson stuff aired on the indiginous african television. it is only sahara tv that mentioned of it lightly. simply put, the news is not well circulated in africa.

Rogers210:
The last time I checked, their president was black. Disappointingly enough, he never gives a hoot about African South of the Sahara. Even African Americans view Africans with disdain. The said Michael Brown was obviously a delinquent. I'm not supporting racism, but we've got enough troubles here in Africa, so let them thrash out there own problems.

African Americans supported black south Africans during apartheid and support bring back our girls. They also support leaders like Nkrumah

yes, they get news and information. we don't get any information in africa. they just aired it fairly. africans no matter how sleepy will support their own. they just don't know. a lot did not know about ebola in lagos until when it came into nigeria.

abbakacici:
Black American hate Africans more white, furthermore 90% percent of charity in African are run by white Americans not black. most of them are even fighting the median to stop calling them African-American but Black--American. also during Bush era American help American with more than 30 billion in aid/charity through USAID while Obama reduce it.

USAID is Neocolonialism 80 percent of goods are made in America to make American businesses better.

Crocz:
It baffles me a lot not even a single state in Africa is concerned or showed displeasure over the injustice melted out to the kid...he was racially murdered...and a jury of 12 individuals (9 whites and 3 blacks) purportedly chosen randomly finds the "white" cop not culpable cos the vote has to be 9 to indict him...reading the cop's statement you will be stunned with his gross exaggeration of events...racism still lives and Africans seems not to give a sh*t

It's just very sad

We don't even care about our own people in the Congo, Somalia, Libya, Liberia or Sierra Leone, that is our main problem. We need to care for other African people.

Ujah Anthony gives solidarity!!

It's really really pathetic if you ask me.

The same African Americans protested for #chibokgirls. The same AA empathized with Africans when brutality takes place in Africa.

Strength is in numbers. What to we have when blacks do not support each other? Weakness.

And shame on Africa because the racism will be transferred to you politically, economically and diplomatically.

Why do you think Indians and Asians treat you like garbage in your own country?

And you wonder why AA continues to separate themselves from Africans. I don't blame them.

#BlackLivesMatter

No Justice........No peace!

No racist.....Police!

Say NO to ethnic cleansing.

I stand in solidarity with my African American brothers and sisters.

Black on black crimes should not justify extrajudicial injustice.

Africans are considered AA/Blacks in America so this concerns us as much as them.

Injustice against Native Americans and Blacks must end, else it will continue on to another minority group (Hispanics, Asians etc).

Even in Germany

Maybe because Africans usually don't have electricity so they don't know what's going on around the world, plus violence and extrajudicial deaths of innocent citizens at the hands of cops is a normal everyday life occurrence?

[size=15pt]Protests in Nigeria For Michael Brown[/size]

A group of Nigerians in Port Harcourt, Rivers, marched out to protest against the shooting death of an
unarmed American teenager called Michael Brown.

^ Now that is commendable.

This discussion must surely have my impute, there are two sides to this coin, before I begin with the two sides, I want to make it clear that you cant kill a white kids for shop lifting,hell the white kid who took a gun to school and kill many people was not shot by the white police,so therefor if you are black and you are supporting what the police did, please remember that when it is done to you and your love once don't expect black people to rally around you.
Now to my two sides, first the leading black activist in America I believe is farkan, I have listen to some of farkans taps, He doesn't like the real Africa but rather want to create an American African ,what do I mean by this, I would tell you, he praises the Caribbean, praises the Arabs Africans like Libya and Egypt but speak about the black nation of Africa as if he were referring to people he was better than, for the record Nigeria is better than everywhere in the Caribbean, I can tell you for a fact.so does people who say the blacks in America don't care about the black in Africa, I put it to you that you are %100 right, in fact it is easier for you to get white people to come to Africa for a visit than a black American. so bad is it that during the black president in America, Africa has never had it this bad in terms of policy which must equally be stated that all Africans stood behind him and when I say Africans I mean all black Africans during and after his campaign but like a typical black American what did he do, he got to office and forget he was black, he started trying to white.

Second side of the coin, now as much as we should normally pay our black brothers back in there own coin by turning our backs on them, I don't think we can afford to do that, because what is going on is targeted at all black race, to which we are part of, we all have suffered from been black, the cowards amongst us try to be white so they can be accepted by the white but does who are strong stand and face the stereotyping head on.so at some point we have to join in but as for Nigeria not right now till after election

just in case you require education Africa is not a country but a continent made up of 54countries,and secondly since you are from somewhere else and not Africa,then I wonder what you are doing here

Op u must u mst be a joker. Who in America cares about our solidarity. D boy gt wat h deserved abeg

"...shut the Bleep up with all that we need peace talk. Peace ain't gonna fall outta the sky. And shut the Bleep up with that Black on Black crime bullshit. Who extracts metal from the earth and mass produces weapons with it? Blacks?

How do these guns find their way into our hands. Did we raid the military bases and get them? do we manufacture them? Everybody knows who the true criminals are. Bleep all this politically correct shit.

We live in a criminal nation, founded by rapists, mass murderers and robbers. So don't tell me about "Black on Black" crime.

These motherfuckers are poisoning the food air land and water and causes wars all over the earth, extincting entire species of animals...

And then have the nerve to point a finger talking about crime and thugs. You motherfuckers are the supreme thugs.

Why would you expect Freedom Justice and Equality from people who still teach that Benjamin Franklin discovers electricity in 2014?...Then you wanna flash a image on the news of a Black man stealing a car or a tv..

Flash the image of the land stealers; and the lineage and birth rite stealers. They will even steal your name. Check your ID.

And don’t tell me get over it, just like you’re afraid to tell those Caucasians who suffered under Hitler get over it. Bleep that.

I'm not getting over one damn molecule."

and to those of you who think, that is theirs been an american and this is us being an african, you can be more wrong. just 4 centuries ago, like yesterday, they shared the same names with you, infact they are your blood brothers.

try to pronounce the names if they don't sound like yours. The african american need not to care much about us the africans, because they are lost, we on the other hand are suppose to care for them, it turns out that it is other way round, and for that shame on us!

I have listened and watched many Farakan videos. If you do a search very well on youtube, you will see a video he talked about his visit to Nigeria and how he was honored by a Yoruba King. He spoke with pride when he talked about it. Also, there is a popular video that was circulated in Nigeria, the video was in the 80s and a presenter asked Farakan about Nigeria and described Nigeria as a corrupt country, Farakan immediately put him in his place and defended Nigeria. If he is a man that looks down on other African countries, he would not have done that.

Farakan has also visited many African countries.

If you want to talk about African Americans looking down on Africans, Farakan is a wrong example.

By the way, we Africans owe those African Americans. Our ancestors captured their ancestors and sold them to slavery (I understand not all African Americans are a result of slavery).

If I get the other video I will post it here

Minister Louis Farrakhan is the bravest, the strongest black man alive. i have not seen any black leader who will face the entire power of the western world and call them devils to their face. i have not seen, except his father Elijah Muhammad and his mentor Malcom X.

Thank for showing me this video, it is my first time of seen this video as for the slavery part, that isn't true, the white created that story so the blacks on that side would hate the blacks in Africa,our ancestors didn't sell them to the white rather the white came here and were kidnapping people, several African kings waged war on the white for kidnapping people and lost there kingdom's in the process, the white later started tricking leaders that converted to Christianity to do there bidding.so anybody who tells you that a black man willing handed another black man over to the white, I suggest that person should read about the oba of benin, the obong of calabar, the jaja of okobo and chaka the Zulu of south Africa and even more in Ghana

I agree with you on the fight against the white mans imposition. I would also like to say that if you go through history, you will see some Africans who became wealthy slave merchants. So it is the fault of the whites and the Africans. We as Africans owe them for the little we played in support of slavery.
