Okija_juju: Why did the OP hide my post na?!!

Abi you no see where that Phalus called me a donkey!?

Vicjustice: Bravo, I agree with you

Most people seem to turn their fingers toward white people when talking about racism and racists. We seem not to realise that in the real sense, white people are much fairer to us than our fellow black people are.
  This brings me to the understanding that there is actual racism in Nigeria: but we don't see it as racism because we classify the behaviours into a wrong category "tribalism".
  For example, some Yoruba families often would not let their daughters get into marriages with Igbo men, most Igbo families would not encourage an inter-marriage with the Huasas, most Hausa families would often not accept inter-marriages with either Yorubas or Igbos, and the same applies with the minorities in Nigeria: Even among the Igbos, there is this intense degree of tribal prejudice: for example, an Anambra man disregard an Owerri woman and might not want anything serious with her, worst still, there is this barbaric cultural practice that distinguish some certain tribes known as Osu in isolated margin (that's if i'm accurate).
  Many people are also refused or denied social opportunities for reason of their races or backgrounds, but we don't seem to mind these developments, we only accuse white people of racism when we're refused or denied some benefits.
  Now, talking about the grudges and ill-feelings, can we see that there's prejudice in Nigeria, and that we suffer racism from fellow Nigerians than from white people?
Note: This is not "tribalism", but racism in its finest definition: Tribalism is experienced amongst specific ethnic groups for example; Owerri man versus Enugu man, but when it is inter-ethnic, such as Hausa people versus Yoruba people, then it is called racism.
Also, consider Polish people accusing the Germans of racism as well as English people accusing the Irish of racism towards them

mc~evans:



Who hid your post?

Vicjustice: [size=15pt]Would you therefore call Germans and Russians discrimination as tribalism?[/size]
Well, that is pure racism even though they are same white people

Mr.chippychappy:


Major cities in Germany have calmed down on racism . Perhaps its just an act to get along with the "multiculturalism" trend.

AjanleKoko: Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece.
Those are the four most racist countries I've visited.

Okija_juju:


When I lived in Paris, we were the only white family on the entire stretch of my street!!

Omo Alata:

I'm confused. Are you white?

Kpele.. Black family rather..

Vicjustice: Bravo, I agree with you

Even democracy and election in Nigeria is influenced by ethnicism and racism.

Racism goes beyond skin colours; consider Polish people accusing the Germans of racism as well as the Albanians accusing the Greeks of racism towards them yet, they are all white

thirty:

OP, i am 100% agreed with you. even when the past goverment observe this and try to post igbo man to Lagos, when disagreement happen between yoruba and ibo man in lagos, Igbo policeman will teach his tribeman how to write statement against the yoruba man in lagos ooo.

Freiburger: Nigeria and i've got my reasons.

Okija_juju:

All the illegal Nigerian immigrants I have come across on my travels always cry out about their travails in the entire europe..

AjanleKoko: Come to think of it . . . no point to this thread really.
Cos everybody hates the black man anyways

Okija_juju:

Thats called Tribalism not racism!! Note the difference..

Man_51ut: Ok even if tribalism (which we're great at) is not racism (your mileage may vary on that), some of the posts on here would not be out of place on stormfront. These posts have been allowed to stand. they have not been deleted, and the posters are merrily skipping through Nairaland like newborn lambs. On other forums, the people would have been banned.

So yes, Nigeria is a bloody racist country, and it's pathetic and childish at that. Waaaa, they were racist to meeee! I'm going to be racist back to them. Waaaaa. Tell me, when your dog bites you, do you bite it back?

Okija_juju:


It goes without saying that two wrongs never make a right...

However, there is only so much wrong that one party can take..

I didnt go abroad looking for nothing. All it was to me was a chance to broaden my horizon and see if indeed the grass was greener on the otherside.. And guess what?! It aint!

You say stop dwelling in the mistakes of the past.. HELLO!!!! We are not talking about the past, its still happenning now.. Today, this second.. As we speak.. White Cops are gunning down black people everyday.. Did you not watch the case of that white vigilante guy who followed a black kid over two blocks from his(the neighbourhood watch guy) house and gunned down the kid who as it turned out was selling candies and his defence was that he thought the kid had a gun..

Nwokem, leave this matter.. I am a vengeful person.. My Momma thought me to forgive, but when the erring becomes repetitious, do something about it!
Like I said, Fhuck White people and Arabs..

Freiburger: Nigeria and i've got my reasons.
