SMDH!

On another note, they see Africans going at each other's throats like these ones were and we expect them to treat us differently?

Even here on NL, y'all fight each. . .call each others tribes the most despicable names and then get all up in arms when an outsider says something derogatory about Nigeria. You can't eat your cake and have it too....it's either you respect yourselves and get respected by all and sundry or. . .well you know undecided

I laughed so hard at the video, gracious God, it was funny. Ghanians can't even defend themselves... Imbe.cile no 1. cheesy cheesy cheesy

What other credible evidence does he need than the racial slur she mentioned? Abeg, if he has good lawyers, they will let him walk. When you make racist comments against someone you barely know, it's common knowledge for instincts to kick in leading to violence. How I wished this outcome would have been different...

he would be jailed for assault n affray. he can counter-sue her for hurling a racist abuse. she threw a bottle at him, he could have just returned the favour instead of punching her to the ground.

Oh yeah, but when it comes to setting up organizations to carry themselves along all of them forsake these petty tiffs, and carry out whatever they set their hearts to do. But ohhh come to Africa, especially Nigerians, if their tribal brothers are not there they can't reason intelligibly. Nigerians would rather thrive on tribal politics instead of doing away with their petty quarrels. That is the difference between we and them!

THANK YOU!!!

I read his post and shook my head. . we have a long-a-ways to go.

The only time you find them form any kind of alliance is when they are fighting silly remarks from ignorant people. They ignore the real issues that would actually have an impact on people's lives and carry their Nigerianess on their heads when it comes to petty stuff. undecided

He should just plead guilty to affray and get community service - that's the best deal his legal aid is going to get him, to be honest...

pDude: Nigerians you see your lives? cry cry

You have so messed up internationally that the word "Nigerian" is now an insult.

Chai cry

Later some ediots will say proudly Nigerian embarassed


Again another inferiority complex twart. im a nigerian based in the UK and yes.. im proudly nigerian, i look like a nigerian, eat like one, speak like one and dress like one. surely the woman have some issues with nigerians hence she used that word, .. as most white people are, she thinks all black people are nigerians, yet u see sell-outs like this foo.l jumping to conclusions dancing to the tune of an illiterate woman who thinks all black people are nigerians. People like u rather beg kneels than stand and fight.

Ok o, me I don't know U.K. law but an assault will pretty much carry penalty of community service or worst case 30days + anger management. Anyway, I still see throwing a deadly weapon (bottle) at someone carries more weight than the actual punching.

it's more likely to be a plastic bottle.....
the boy is way more guilty. regardless of what the woman must have said to him, you don't punch a woman. it shows total lack of respect....10 yrs ago, the other men on that train would have beaten the boy bluish blackish but today's britain is different. the mantra is mind your own business!

it depends on how the woman perceives the insult. if she feels racially insulted by the phrase "white princess" then the dude is in trouble. uk laws are funny. the recipient of a racist insult holds the 4 aces.

Not so fast.What does the law say about provocation,racial prejudice and discrimination?All these will have to be taken into account.You don't just throw people into jails like that.
On Provocation;
Where on a charge of..... there is evidence on which the jury can find that the person charged was provoked (whether by things done or by things said or by both together) to lose his self-control, the question whether the provocation was enough to make a reasonable man do as he did shall be left to be determined by the jury; and in determining that question the jury shall take into account everything both done and said according to the effect which, in their opinion, it would have on a reasonable man.

On Race relations,Prejudice and discrimination;
Where, on the hearing of the complaint, the complainant proves facts from which the tribunal could, apart from this section, conclude in the absence of an adequate explanation that the respondent—
(a)has committed such an act of discrimination or harassment against the complainant, or
(b)is by virtue of section 32 or 33 to be treated as having committed such an act of discrimination or harassment against the complainant,the tribunal shall uphold the complaint unless the respondent proves that he did not commit or, as the case may be, is not to be treated as having committed, that act.

They have got CCTV cameras... The only way he won't get charged is if the woman lunged the first physical attack - that's what they're going to look at..

Perceives it? It's not what the woman thinks, it's what the law states. I mean the term white and princess, two words are not racist, just like black and princess, and even in the context (he stepped on her) and she was whining like a little bit.ch, its not racial. What the law should interpret is simply that as a princess, no one can unknowingly step on you.

The most pertinent aspect of the whole exchange is that to be a Nigerian (and smelly one at that) is now an epithet/slur in itself. They boy could be from anywhere, from Angola to Zanazibar (originally), however she was just reminding him that he is still a smelly nigger-area as far as she was concerned now. He held himself up with dignity and when it came to the barbs, flamed her as you could tell it was not her mother tongue.

However, it just highlights the foolishness of tribalism on these boards. When they share money for Aso rock, no one is asking about about indigene wahala.

That's my point. The white princess has been used severally in media and entertainment, which has depicted several themes.

Can a white man b racially abused? Aint words like "Wigger", "Pelly", "Burb-Nigga", "White trash" , "Chinko" derogatory words used against d whites and I don't see dem get offended or overly truculent as shown by the Blacks.

the word "white" in that statement carries weight! white = ethnic group, no? ethnicity plus princess to describe a woman during a heated exchange is a racial slur. you have to look at the context in which he used it. he's not wooing her or asking her out. it was meant to be an insult!

in the uk, it's what the recipient thinks about it.
if a white person calls me a nigga and i am not offended about it - then there's no offence. that's the way it rolls on this side of the planet! if the woman claims she felt racially insulted with the word "white princess" then the boy would go down!

@denzel,

to understand your argument, in the context of argument between both parties, white princess becomes a racial slur but in the media, and entertainment concept, it's acceptable? However, you forget that the term "smelly Nigerian" isn't accepted in whatever form whether argument or for entertainment purpose.
