musKeeto: Smelly. Nigerian. Hw the 4k is this racist?

Inferiority complex no good.

No be 4 NL wey Igbos and Yorubas dey abuse each other tire? Abi dat one no follow for racism?
Mscheeww..

What is it with this una "belonging attitude"? You want to defend the "White Woman" by all means, right?


For the avoidance of doubt, RACISM is only associated with an incident when one person (of a different RACE) makes derogatory remarks using the RACE of another person in the process.

Igbo and Yorubas are of THE SAME RACE
!
(Black, African, Nigerian), they cant be racist towards each other.

They can be TRIBALISTIC or insulting ....but not RACIST!

In the above case, the two different races involved are "White/Caucasian race Vs. Black/African race.

She can insult the guy by saying he is "smelly" but when you concatenate that with "Nigerian" ....and the guy is "black" and you are "white", then it becomes a racist comment.

Calling someone "black" is also not racist cause it only refers to their skin color but when you concatenate it with a derogatory word like "Monkey" (as in Black Monkey)..and the person referred to is of African/Black origins, it then becomes a racist comment, for the same reasons l pointed out above.

You need to slow down and not jump into complex issues like this.
Thank you.

SO, how's racism worse than Tribalism?

Racism deals more with dehumanising people and making them less human... However, tribalism has more to do with territorial competition and survival...

So, the rwandan genocide had nothing to do with dehumanization just because they were all black?

What phuck is this bullshyt? Seriously?!

It's the same Goddamn thing, just that one is about skin and the other culture beliefs and ways of life which is even worse.

Big Fat Lie!

Tribalism is just as dehumanizing as Racism. It's even worse because it's coming from people that supposedly your brothers.

If what happened in Rwanda is as a result of tribalism, then the on-going war between the West and Arabs since after September 11 is also as a result of racism... Which is more barbaric out of the two

both are despicable. i dont believe in comparing idiots. the racist and the tribalist should be dumped in the hottest parts of hell.

i make no distiction between the two. what difference does it make? the tribalist kills people in nigeria, the racists believes blacks are monkeys in london. choose one.
1. people believe you are less human(monkey) in london
2. people cut your throat with a knife in nigeria.
choose one

let me know when you make up your mind.

Ok, let's use slavery to explain the difference between the two...

Africans back then fought wars based on tribalism and all the POWs were enslaved... Now compare the way Africans treated their fellow black slaves back then to the way Europeans and Arabs(trans-atlantic and trans-saharan slavery) treated their black slaves... That should paint a perfect picture for you...
Re: 'Smelly Nigerian': Racist Confrontation On London Train by kandiikane(m): 5:55am On Jan 11, 2013
The west knows why they are in the east fighting. It's not because they are arabs.

So, it now boils down to how black and white slave owners were treated? Do you know that some white slave owners treated their slaves better than other whites and better than some black slave owners?

Stop defending tribalism abeg. They're all the same thing to any sane mind.
Re: 'Smelly Nigerian': Racist Confrontation On London Train by kandiikane(m): 5:59am On Jan 11, 2013
Tell me, killing an outsider or your own brother, which is worse?

Abeg! Having your fellow countryman say spiteful things about you or treating you like nothing is worst than a whiteman doing the same.

Tribalism has been there since the beginning of time and it's always going to be there no matter how you lot make noise about it... The most important thing is about knowing how to use tribalism to your advantage - that's what Europe has been able to do.... Everyone is a tribalist, regardless of how you lie about it...

Some of you haven't witnessed racism, hence why you are always quick to compare the two... Despite the fact that they're two different things!! If you ever witness racism and how it makes people feel less human, you would beg your stars for tribalism, trust me...

It's not not about how some white slaves owners treated their slaves - it's about the innate hatred involved in racism... A racist is the last person you want to get involved with but you can still get along with a tribalist as long as you're humble and decent...

I'm not defending tribalism - I'm just explaining what it means and how most of you confuse the term with racism and bigotry...
Re: 'Smelly Nigerian': Racist Confrontation On London Train by Nobody: 6:05am On Jan 11, 2013
Racism will always swallow up tribalism when they meet - that shows how powerful racism is....

For example: In the UK, or USA - how many people remember their tribal/ethnic origins whenever racism strikes?? No one... All black people always speak with one voice - that shows how powerful racism is...

Bigotry is different from tribalism and tribalism is different from racism...
Re: 'Smelly Nigerian': Racist Confrontation On London Train by kandiikane(m): 6:08am On Jan 11, 2013
When people are born in the white man's country all they get is racism because it's different races living together. If you were born and bred in Africa you get tribalism because it's just you and your fellow countrymen. It won't be called racism because it's the same race. The same way racism may affect an individual in a white man's country it's the same way tribalism affects a fellow countryman.

There is no difference between the two and it's ignorant for anyone to say otherwise. Yóu're basically excusing the holocust. It's like a german telling a jew "Oh, it's not that bad because we're the same skin colour."
Re: 'Smelly Nigerian': Racist Confrontation On London Train by Nobody: 6:10am On Jan 11, 2013
The holocaust was as a result of Nazi racism not tribalism!!!

Stop confusing the two terms!
Re: 'Smelly Nigerian': Racist Confrontation On London Train by kandiikane(m): 6:11am On Jan 11, 2013
Because of ignorance, excuses are made for tribalism which is absolutely messed up.

Racism is not the only method of dehumanization.

If Aliens invade the earth, all human beings will also speak with one voice. Haven't we been speaking with one voice on issues that affect the whole world?

I'm not supporting tribalism, I'm just explaining the difference between the two terms and why you need to stop comparing apples to oranges....

That's the same way some simplistic buffoons always compare the black struggle and slavery to the struggle of gay people - that's just disrespectful!!
