Blessmira: Dats why i like Naija. Nobody cares a fig wether u ar wearin a Loubotin boot or a Diamond stud. Wear a Bathroom slippers n come, e no concern anybody as long as u can pay 4 d fuckin item. U wrong man! Sometime last year, I walked into this exotic music store in shoprite ikeja (upstairs) I actually wanted to get a grand piano (which is pretty expensive) for a client but due to simple way I was dressed, the store owner or shop girl (I no know which one ) was really really rude to me!!.. When I wanted to check the specs of the piano, she refused... She even denied me opportunity of sending the picture of what I wanted to buy to my client I didn't argue or say ish.. Just quietly walked out... So this shiiit happens everywhere man! |

Why would the sales girl refuse to let her see the expensive bag? Opray is not just happy because she never knew journalists would dig in so deep and blow up the story. She did not tender apology to switzerland or the shop owner. |

E-Light:a little bit of education for everyone Once in awhile, I have chosen to insert an article written not by me, but by our daughter, Holly (18 years old). As you will see she is the inevitable product of her mother and me. We are proud of her and so want to use something she wrote recently as a college paper. Racism Through Education, the Media and the Government Racism has affected the world for thousands of years. Why? What is it that makes one man think he is better than another? Most people assume that racism only deals with color of skin, but it goes way beyond that. Racism is the belief that one person is better than another person for any reason at all: color of skin, nationality, mental ability, sex, etc. It is a serious social problem. It threatens the quality of peoples lives and cherished values. We have all seen the damage that racism has done. Why are we still dealing with this problem? The major reason is that for the past 150 years the theory of evolution has been taught in schools and evolutionary ideas are being sent throughout our society by our education system, our media and our government. You may be saying to yourself, "How does evolution apply to this?" Here is your answer. The basic theory of evolution says that from one single-cell Amoeba came all of life. This little Amoeba supposedly evolved itself into new sub-species or races of higher class, over and over again. Eventually people arrived and from them the white man, the superior race! Well, in order for people to get here, hundreds and maybe thousands of races had to become extinct because they weren't good enough or intelligent enough or pretty enough to stay around. So they died and we were left with all those inferior beings like animals, black people, yellow people and women. Now, you might say, "You cant be serious!" But, here is what Charles Darwin once said about white men being superior. "I could show . . . natural selection . . . doing more for the progress of civilization than you seem inclined to admit"The more civilized so-called Caucasian races have beaten the Turkish hollow in the struggle for existence. Looking to the world at no very distant date, what an endless number of the lower races will have been eliminated by the higher civilized races throughout the world." "At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes"will no doubt be exterminated. The break will then be rendered wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, . . . than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as at present between the Negro . . . and the gorilla." Here is what Charles Darwin had to say about women. "It is generally admitted that with women the powers of intuition, of rapid perception, and perhaps of imitation, are more strongly marked than in man; but some . . . of these faculties are characteristic of the lower races, and therefore of a past and lower state of civilization. The chief distinction in the intellectual powers of the two sexes is shown by man attaining to a higher eminence, in whatever he takes up, than woman can attain whether requiring deep thought, reason, or imagination, or merely the use of the senses and hands." Thomas Huxley, Darwins close friend said this about Africans. "No rational man, cognizant of the facts, believes that the average Negro is the equal, still less the superior, of the white man. And if this be true, it is simply incredible that, when all his disabilities are removed, . . . as well as no oppressor, he will be able to compete successfully with his bigger-brained and smaller-jawed rival, in a contest which is to be carried out by thoughts and not by bites." You might say, "Okay, I can see that Darwin was a racist and that evolution is a racist theory, but, so what?" Well, when the world, began to accept the concepts of evolution,. Evolutionary concepts of superiority entered every area of life and people truly began to believe them. Karl Marx and Adolph Hitler formed many of their beliefs around the concepts of natural selection and survival of the fittest. White race purity groups like the KKK began to arise. Everything became segregated: public transportation, public eating places, public schools. Signs were everywhere: "FOR WHITES ONLY!" Most white people believed the lie of racism, even some Christians. |

@ ooshinibos How about you post your daughter's entire piece as a .pdf for me to download? Nice write up in there - a little education, here and there, maybe we can help wipe off the scourge of racism all over the world. |
Re: Oprah 'Sorry' For Naming Switzerland In Race Row by ooshinibos: 12:34pm On Aug 15, 2013 |
ono: @ ooshinibos that gonna be a tough one , this article was written about 4 years ago ...at the time i just extracted the one that relates to race actually , the rest might not be applicable because it deals other stuff like sexism and evolution stuff which i was not interested in This publication about race has actually reduced racism crimes in countries like canada and Germany hence the low rate of racism incident in these countries ..since racism is a learned behaviour or habit , it could be wiped out gradually through exposure and education ...dont forget Nigeria has a bit of this bad behaviour , we call it tribalism , xenophobia and ethnism ...they are all a type of racism ..and can destroy life as well |
