davehHull24: China is more interested in trade and business while Europe and America are imperialists who would rather enslave Africans economically by way of the IMF and the world bank. The American Liberian returnees were agents of the white racist structure in the US and worked to further the interests of the American Firestone rubber company - look it up. No man is an island, unless you are militarily and economically able to stand on your own two feet you have to forge alliances with other nations if you want to survive - that is a fact. You sound like an idealist, in the real world love does not guarantee your survival. Do european nations love each other? Nations simply co-operate with each other and relationships are based on economic interests not "love". Correct me if im wrong but didn't the op bring up the issue of racism being exaggerated in the US, if that's not a serious issue i don't know what is. 2 Likes |

anonimi: No the quote is " A man who does not KNOW his history is doomed to repeat it" But for the sake of argument lets say its LEARN - You don't even want to learn about our past, you see it as a waste of time, which is why you will never learn from your mistakes. If you were interested in the past you would know that Europeans are the root cause of the problems we are having today, but you don't even want to acknowledge let alone accept that basic fact, all you do is make excuses for the destruction that was meted out on us by them. But the Chinese aligned with the West to develop to where they are today, not so The Chinese are not aligned to the west in the same way that we are aligned to the west. The Chinese control their own destiny and are not economically controlled by US run financial institutions. 4 Likes |

cap28:The Fulani also stole land in Nigeria too. Over the years, you've proven to be one who antagonise the white without apportioning due blame on black people It's human nature to exploit his fellow man, when he has the power to, that's the truth. The white did it in the past, and the Nigerian elite is doing same today. That is one truth you must know. Freedom is never given just like that. It is collected by force.

Ugosample: Are the Fulani not Africans? How can you compare a European who left his own continent and went all the way to North America, committed genocide on the natives there, went to West Africa and shipped millions of your ancestors across the atlantic ocean, worked the ones who survived the traumatic and subhuman conditions on slave ships to death in terrible subhuman conditions on plantations to a group of Fulani who were fighting internecine wars on their own continent? You negros will never cease to amaze me with your undying love and devotion to a race of people who hate you. 7 Likes |

Amya: History is amazing but I strongly believe we're not learning from it. Recently one US state finally decided to remove the confederate flag as their state flag, but why now?? Am i supposed to believe that a church shooting in NC convinced them that after 100+ years they should take down their treasonous flag? African Americans didnt have to protest at all about that flag. The confederate flag holds deep meaning to southern confederates which includes white supremacy and then slavery, which has only been redressed as "state's rights" today by the politically correct. Slavery wasnt a black issue as much as it was white. During this course in history, Europeans used academia, courts, and religion to justify Blacks role in slavery, it didnt matter where they executed this (America, Caribbeans, and later with the colonization of Africa). When you really think about it, Africa is at the mercy of whites abolishing the importation of slave otherwise Blacks would have continued selling each other until there was nothing left, for the blacks who luckily remained they'd likely use them to eventually screw them. We know it's nothing new...Europeans used this similar orchestration to justify the slaughtering and land-grabbing from Native Americans. I dont think any race of people got it as bad as Native Americans, not only being killed off which is obviously the most poignant display of eventual betrayal from whites, but a few Native American tribes showed sympathy to whites as whites pathetically suffered from new-land famine and diseases, in many cases having to eat the leather from shoes and/or the bodies of their dead for the slightest chance at living. It only took a few Native American tribes to sympathize with whites and look what happened down the road... it only took a few African tribes to abet slavery but then look what whites eventually did to many parts in Africa... There remains so much that is still wrong with this picture, many blacks dont care to begin to wrap theirs minds around how much they're still being played by the same instrumental from history. Many African Americans are indeed on welfare..isn't Nigeria considering something like this? Aren't most Black people poor?? There was once a time African Americans cared to be included in the current system whites created and still control. Many AA decided it was a pointless endeavor to fight for white acceptance and thus started their own schools, music industries, sport leagues, business districts, police, etc.. today, some are still chartering these projects, but far too many AA are poor and/or lack common sense; a common scenario for many blacks across the globe. I dont let African Americans use slavery as their excuse to be criminal or an id.iot. Slavery was a relatively brief moment in history. Contrary to common misconceptions and fetishes, not all African slaves were forced to give birth to mulatto babies. Black/white relations were a taboo in America until about 50 years ago. So many of us still have plenty western or sub-Saharan blood in us. If it werent for welfare, our worse ghettos in America would look like the worse in Lagos, Soweto, or Kingston. |

cap28:Bro you are going round in circles, full of hate and being hypocritical. Apportion the blame where it lies, mostly on we and our fathers. Are you trying to tell me that if blacks had the machinery (means for circumnavigation and weaponry) the west had then they wouldn't have attempted to conquer less advantaged regions? Its basic human nature, only thing is that we on the receiving side of this presently. What we need to do now as blacks is understand the system and beat it, not crying all day of what the white man has or hasn't done. 2 Likes |

cap28: Cap28, I sincerely commend you for your efforts in trying to educate ignorant Nigerians. You really have the time and patience. I don't. What you need to understand about a lot of Nigerians is that many of them are a bunch of self hating Negros. The average Nigerian residing home or abroad will not give a second thought about throwing you under the bus just to please a non-black person. Yes, the self-hate is REAL. I made a conscious decision not to argue with Nigerians anymore. Hopefully, they will one day realize that no matter how they defend the white race, most white people will never genuinely love them. Another thing you also have to realize is that many Nigerians are white apologists. You will never see most Nigerians make excuses for Nigerian tribalists like they make excuses for white racists. I dare say that Nigerians are a CANCER to the black race. If we were still on the plantation somewhere, Nigerians will most likely be the first to inform the white slave master about any enslaved black person trying to flee the plantation. I once read on this same site of an america-based Nigerian who invited only white americans to her child's birthday party. They all assured the Nigerian that they were coming but on the day of the event, none of them showed up, lol. Nigerians are good at learning the hard way and the hard way they shall learn. They shall learn that no matter how hard they crave the love of the enemy, the enemy will NEVER love them back. You need to see they way expatriates treat many Nigerians like shyte on our own soil, lol. This is because non-black people have long figured out that the average Nigerian worships white skin and that they the expatriates will always get away with treating Nigerians like crap in their own country. Most Nigerians are a lost cause Cap28. Allow them to keep worshiping and defending 'massa' while they continue to wallow in abject poverty. You know poverty is a bastard and can cause people to do many things that they would otherwise not do. Lastly, just so you know, that davehull24 guy is a caucasian. I saw you asking for his nationality/race in one of your post and he bluntly dodged the question. They are many like him trolling black forums and looking to ferment trouble just like they do on some black American forums as well. Gotta go. Take care. 5 Likes 2 Shares |
