EbolaParasite: I think that has more to do with the African America privilege that comes with living where you call your country. Africans on the other hand are immigrants and they don't have the same privilege. So if an AA decides to stand his/her ground, to defend his/her right based on the law of the land - I honestly don't see anything wrong with that in a civilised society where every citizen should be equal, regardless of race, colour, or creed. The police need to do their jobs and stop targeting and harassing black folks indiscriminately. Fighting crime is what they're paid to do, and the society, including AAs pay their wages. Anyway, I think this female professor might be Nigerian American based on her last name(not sure), but she was also a victim of police brutality: ASU professor be brutalized by cops 1 Like |

[quote author=EbolaParasite] You are misquided. You statistics is skewed. Most of the so-called AA you are talking about do not even KNOW SLAVES WERE SOLD. Yes some of the well-aware educated ones are, but MAJORITY do not give a damn.[/quote U must be a youngin,majoriity of African Americans who watched the movies roots on HBO in 1988 would differ with what u just said, or how the blacks (both Americans and Africans) worked hand in hand to protest the beating of Rodney King by Policemen. I will not say more, but also go and research the huge number of blacks who line up to take Africans as a langauge in colleges, or even the true story and history of Quanza holiday 1 Like |

CAMNEWTON4PRES: dont you think they react that way in sign of protes t , they have been victimized a lot, in fact it is not only BA doing that, most americans regardless the race are fighting back the police/law enforcemnts who are simply savages in uniforms, a doc about it was aired on CNN last week... Yes but what is that saying.......you can't keep doing the same thing and expect different results....... Do they need to fight the police? Haven't you seen people who behave politely to the Police and record their actions on hidden cams. Why be provocative when you know the person you are getting at - a police officer - has a gun that can kill you? (unless you are carrying a gun yourself) This is what we call ignorance. You will never find the educated ones doing things like this. The educated ones know their way to a lawyers office. |

Lucasbalo: You get that right. He was at soldier field about a month ago with Beyoncé, my wife and my girls paid about $500 . I don't want to make a big fuss of it because the girls love Beyoncé. Guess how much of that is going to Live Nation ?. 60,000 seats stadium sold out. Lmao...you just made Live Nation richer. That's why I don't pay for none of this shiit anymore.

CAMNEWTON4PRES: maybe you should also include the ones that have 10 kids with 10 baby mommas. the ones that do absolutely nothing and receive government pay checks every month, food stamps etc. Lets not be one-sided okay. lets look at everything. All what you posted up there are all EXCUSES. The same America that you claim will not give them low mortgage rates or jobs is the same one that AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS will come into and within 3-5 years possess all the things you claim the AA's can't get. Are Africans not BLACK as well. That's a question you need to ask yourself. 2 Likes |

EbolaParasite: At the bold - I believe you can draw a correlation with that from how Lebanese and Indian folks go to Africa, and end up being more successful than majority of African there. It comes with the territory. When you're at home and in your comfort zone, the way your survival mechanism works will be different from someone who's an immigrant. You can't use that as a yardstick to judge what the system is and the flaws within the system. 3 Likes |

Why pose that question to Nigerians? I thought Nigeria is the only place where ethno-religious riot is witnessed, nay? U.S, i surposed(from what folks over there post here wherever the issue of any form of violence comes up in Nigeria), was the empire of democracy where no form of undemocratic tendency exist, nay? Where then is the freedom they(U.S govt) preach? I wonder where else the home of right should be sought since the sanctimonious U.S has faultered. If a Nigerian soldier is reported by some APC newspaper to have shot a Boko Haram on the drive, U.S will stretch its holy head and call Nigerian democracy to question. And some addled Nigerians who know nothing but how to click gibberish on their gadgets about their own leaders should hide in shame. U.S Govt is the Universal Problem! Her downfall is 'Human Freedom'. |

SirShymex: You have a point but this is slightly different. AA and Africans are both blacks and both have been suppressed/cheated as history as shown us. The lebanese and indians coming to Nigeria would be better correlated with the British/Swiss/Americans doing business in Nigeria. When you apply for a loan in America and state your ethnicity, you are Black. With the exception of the actual loan interview AA and Africans are subjected to the same scrutiny so why do Africans get these loans? Maybe because the Africans are more determined and not because of the system? |

I fail to understand how a community like Ferguson Missouri can afford to arm it's police department like a military force and how the tax payers of the community allow the police force to be so ridiculously decked out. The killing of a unarmed citizen by police followed by this display of police paramilitary force is both tragic and farcical. The photographs make it apparent these officer have no firearms discipline and need to be called back in to their stations stripped of their paramilitary gear, assault rifles any other equipment including their armored vehicles and sent back out into the streets to enforce the law in Blue uniforms and regular side arms and equipment. Officers pointing fully automatic weapons at citizens protesting peacefully in the streets is not appropriate or acceptable. The speed at which this event has boiled over would indicate a long running dislike on both sides. Employing the same police force that is responsible for the death of the victim to suppress the "protest" has, and will, fan the flames... 2 Likes

Re: There Is A Race Riot Going On In America Right Now!! by Nobody: 6:39pm On Aug 14, 2014 |
EbolaParasite: Nah, I'm actually alluded to Lebanese and Indian immigrants in Africa who went to the continent, with absolutely nothing, and ended up building empires there. You can't correlate that with British/Swiss/Americans whose only interest in Africa is for business purpose. Also, based on success metrics - are Africans in America more successful than African Americans? - absolutely not. Not even in academics. And definitely not in business and all other facets of American society. I think the only reason why folks are always quick to pick out their deficiencies is because they're a group living in a place, and you can see the good, bad, and ugly about them easily. The same way you will be able to point out the good, bad, and ugly about Africa, if you're to look at Africans as a group. Evidently, you need to understand that they're in their country - and a lot of them are going to be poor, dirty, and uneducated - just as they have got a lot of achievers. And they have been systematically programmed to be that way for a long time. If Africans were so great, how come they aren't as successful as Jewish, German, and Irish Americans? Heck, I'd wager that Latino and Asian immigrants are far more successful than African immigrants in America, based on the metrics I have seen. And these folks are also minorities. 1 Like |

You are comparing apples to oranges Immigrants are not representative of the whole black population You should compare your sample with the guys in naija who live in the slums of ajegunle Subom1..the police were given military weapons from excess defense spending so police departments upgraded their arsenal It's a legacy from drug fights of the 80s and post911 where police were deemed to be be first responders in a terrorist attack EbolaParasite: |

SirShymex: All of the influential Lebanese and Indians we have in Nigeria today did not come from nothing. They had connections and used the corrupt system to build on that. Mention ONE lebanese or indian that came to Nigeria with NOTHING and is largely successful today. With regards to the statement in bold. You are so WRONG. WHEN IT COMES to ACADEMICS, YES AFRICANS ARE MORE SUCCESSFUL than AA's. With regards to Business, we will have to use ratios and percentages because AA's outnumber Africans by a huge margin so the comparison will be baseless. Let's just do it anyway - You will realize that 80% of the modern day Africans have some college degree while the same can not be said of AA's. The number for AA's is closer to 20% so where did you get your "they are better academically from" 4 Likes |

BanditC:you are correct. Police rarely carry guns in Europe except at airports but in North America, even some security guards at malls carry guns.i watched a documentary not long ago where it was mentioned that he crime committed in New York alone in a day is more than the crime committed in one year in Canada. |

This is complete bullshit, you are completely ignorant about the plight of African Americans. Yes, we have all been & are still victims of the system, (all blacks in diaspora) but having acknowledge this though, we can still operate within the system in a way that we can cultivate DECENT & RESPECTABLE lives for ourselves. A whole community and future generations succumbing to crack & substance abuse, resorting to crimes and violence against your own (gangs) is not the way to go / break the vicious circle. We all have one thing in common, we have all been hurt and we still get hurt daily, but the difference is, we do have a choice as to how we react. Responding in the usual predictable manner only makes us easy preys / targets. 1 Like |
