Tensor777 Here is a classic example of institutionalised racism. It's easier for an international student of any ethnicity to get into Oxbridge, than a black briton. Dearth of Blacks at Oxford and Cambridgehttp://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/13/world/europe/13iht-educBriefs13.html?_r=0 ^^^The article was copied from the Guardian UK by New York Times but I can't find the Guardian UK link. |

I don't think oyinbo owes us any favour apart from the reparations for the evil of slavery and colonialism.The only reason why we worry about oyinbo being racist [b]is because we have not been able to make our own rules that suits us and define who we are as a people.We live by whiteman's rules and pace,that is why we tend to take everything they do [/b]and what they think of us seriously. GBAM for the bold! You are freed bro! May you continue to grow in wisdom. |

shymexx: Tensor777The article says nothing that we don't know. How come only 452 Afro Carribean black secondary school students met the 2009 Oxford University admission requirements compared to 29000 white students who were prepared to go for a wide spectrum of courses. It also says that those 452 tended to subscribe to the highly competitive courses like law and medicine meaning that those blacks were already top performers in their schools but even they could not get in to the courses of their choice. It goes back to under-performance in secondary schools of black students. The real question is why this segment of the population is under-performing in high school? It is not even about just Oxford and Cambridge but the whole university system sees a gross under-representation of Afro Caribbean students. |

tensor77: Blame the school system in the inner cities for that. Hence why most black parents are sending their kids to schools in white areas. However, there should be some form of affirmative action as it's in America for black britons. You can argue all you want but I'm sure a lot of under-qualified white students were admitted despite not considering the black ones. Especially the ones who went to Eton and other top private colleges. |

Let Nigerians develop Nigeria. Let us stop waiting for "manna" from the West. With the huge human and natural resources in Africa, we are still looking up to them to "help" us. Racism or no racism, let us leapfrog development and racism will not matter to us. If u are very successful, racism will turn to admiration. 1 Like |

Murder_X: I have lived in both places and will tell you confidently that the US is by far more racist. Even the Black Americans are racist to Africans. It is horrible there. The UK is more tolerant to Africans. I would rather not recount my nasty racist experiences in the US even though I stayed there less than half as long as I stayed in the UK. I really could not believe it, I always thought they will be more tolerant since it is supposed to be a free land - I was so so wrong. You can see hatred in their eyes, don't even ask for directions. Anybody that has lived in both will not even think of an answer to the question. Thank you my brother. You really don't know what racism is until you encounter some of these racist white Americans. |

This is a very cynical-topic. Its provocative. Its also Insulting. Why generalise a whole nation becos of scanty individuals? U shouldn't be over-conscious of these kind of things, Or else u would end up being a victim at those times that racism wasn't even an issue. 2 Likes |

As a Nigerian living in the US, I find this topic very disturbing. It is completely wrong to identify a country as racist. For all those that say the US is more racist, there is a very high percentage that you are racist yourself. The US is a very diverse place and people will treat you differently based on their personal experience. That does not make a country racist! And oh by the way, Nigerians are some of the most sensitive people I have ever seen. Ask a fellow Nigerian here in the US and they will tell you they don't even want to live in a neighborhood with a lot of fellow Nigerians. Bottom line, if you want to travel abroad, go with purpose and you will be respected. Don't come here depending on government assisted living and hope to be treated like a king. 5 Likes |

Also wherever you stayed in Ny. and heard gunshots must be the deep hood or bad poor areas. if you had stayed in Manhattan or most parts of any of the boroughs you would not have witnessed that. its like staying in okokomaiko in Lagos instead of lekhi and then saying that Lagos is full of crime.....and sorry..you write terrible English......brush up on it, take a course. |

Nelly Ghenghen: Here we go again! black man with s.tupid talks on racism. really who is more racist than Africans? would we allow a white man to be the president of Nigeria? Can we allow a white man/woman to be a minister or a senator in Nigeria? or even local govt chairman?? Can a white person win MBGN? most times you even hear stuff like "she's too light skinned, she shouldn't win MBGN, she doesn't rep Africa". Thank you!! the hypocrite of some Nigerians is unbelievable 1 Like |

Mr Mac-10: Sorry to say,I really dont fuq with Nigerians here for some very simple and sensible reasons 1: when one knows where you stay,expect that one to bring about 3 more people to your house 2: too fuqing loud 3: broke people who act like they own the world 4: too many Nigerians in the same place is bound to bring cop activity 5: over posing when most of them no even get any paper 6: Back stabbing your fellow Nigerians all for paper (not happened to mebut heard numerous stories) |
