dasparrow: Thanks bro. It's really tragic, the sad thing is that our self hate seems to be getting worse. I've noticed that the Nigerian media has been hijacked by very damaging western influences for example the tv programmes in Nigeria seem to be replicas of what you see in Europe and the US, its as if we no longer have our own culture and values. I believe that this is what has contributed to most of the self hate that you see in our people today. 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. So true, its nauseating to see how Nigerians behave around whites, the only black people that I see acting with dignity around whites are afrocentric African Americans and Carribean people, but the most subservient blacks are Africans and in particular Nigerians. I find it absolutely pitiful that these fools bend over backwards to defend their enslavers while these same enslavers reward them by banning them from entering their countries, deporting them, keeping them in abject poverty, aiding and abetting their corrupt leaders and overthrowing any of their leaders who try to implement progressive economic policies that will alleviate their sorry condition - if that is not the height of Stockholm Syndrome I don't know what is. 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. The funny thing is that many of these ignoramuses actually look down on African Americans. The same African Americans who fought and continue to fight the brutal system of white supremacy. These s.tupid cowards forget that the only reason many of them are even able to visit, study and live in the US is because the same African Americans that they look upon with contempt actually challenged their corrupt and racist govt. In doing so their govt had to introduce things like affirmative action in order to try and undo years of racial injustice. As a result of this progress many Nigerians are now able to attend decent schools and uplift themselves but are they grateful to the AA's for this - hell no! Many of these dummys have no idea just how terrible life was for black people in Jim Crow America, this is why I laugh at these fools when they come on here boasting about what they have achieved. It amazes it me at just how shameless they are, how can you brag about what you have achieved when you were not the one who fought for these policies in the first place. This is why you have to feel nothing but pity for the poster and other id.iots on this forum who say that racism in the US is exaggerated. Tell that to the thousands of African American men languishing in jails all over America while their white counterparts who commit similar offences get off with a slap on the wrist. These dim witted sambos have no idea just how much the AA's had to go through in order to be even allowed to live as human beings in a society that their ancestors built and died for. If only these cowardly sambos would have the guts to do in their own countries what the AAs have done in the US. 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. Thanks bro, I knew he couldn't be black, if you read through his posts you will find out that he is a disgusting racist, he has nothing uplifting or positive to say about black people or Nigeria. I have no idea what he is doing on this forum. 4 Likes |

DanjaNinja: How do you identify a 12 year old looking like a 20 year old in a club? Why should the clubs be criminally liable for letting a 12 year old with an ID of a 20 year old in? I don't know but you seem to think you are quoting a lay man. I know why we have laws, I understand the importance of enforcing them and I am well aware that behind every law that the government passes to enforce a conduct is usually based on policy reasons. You threw out a question and you failed to answer your question. However I am going to help you. The only reason I can see why clubs rather than the children are made criminally culpable is to prevent abuse of the system. Unfortunately I am the type that takes responsibility very seriously. If a 12 year old decides to falsify her ID and unknowingly to the bouncer could only see a 20 year old and as a result let's her in, why then should it be culpable for an honest mistake? A 12 year old child can distinguish a grave danger from a minor one hence I believe it is not that young to understand what it stands to lose for sneaking out to falsify her age to enter a club. The only way a club been determine that is through an ID and if that is falsify, how else would they know they the person they're admitting is a minor?

cap28: Well I condemn both white and black evil doers. That Nigerians gloat happily till date about 3 million igbos who died in Biafra is testament to the fact that Africans are just as evil as their white counterparts. That Hutus can massacre tutsis to the tune of 1 million people in only a few months is another proof. Thousands slaughtered in darfur, liberia, even more thousands in Northern Nigeria today, Bantus displacing pigmies and bushmen, Somali and Hausa/Fulani enslaving fellow blacks prior to European domination...the list goes on. Some of the genocides mentioned were executed only with machetes so you have to wonder how deep the rabbit hole would go if Africans had access to nuclear and biological weapons. Black people are just as evil as whites. May hurt to admit but it's true. Humans are evil in general. Even the natives of Northern and Southern America enslaved and sacrificed each other in a bid for intra-continental conquest prior to the Spanish taking over. I'm not going to excuse anyone here. Oh no. Even YOU made a point to gloat about how much advanced blacks were than Whites who were "primitive" at a point in history. What makes you different from the racists who act superior to Black people? Whites just happened to be more efficient at consolidating their hold on the world so much so that they are on top now. As is the cycle of life another race will take over and dominate the rest in a brutal and hateful way. Human beings are a terrible specie of animals. All we know how to do is gloat over arbitrary notions of what a made up term, "civilization" is. We use that to feel better and then oppress those who we perceive to be weaker. We act as parasites and suck out the Earth's resources. The only good thing about being a human being is that you will eventually die. I can't wait for as asteroid to decimate the earth and purge it from the most worthless and deluded species that ever graced it. Only white people are evil? What a joke! Start from Nigeria and look at its people to see evil at our doorstep. Tribalism, ethnic clashes, crime, boko haram, Fulani killings of middle-belters, sexual abuse, prostitution and human trafficking, ritual murder, fraud, rape, disgusting deaths and mayhem. Are we talking about Black Americans? Come to Africa and see how their desendants treated the natives of liberia. Look at how they kill and degrade each other here in the US. Are we talking about the myriad of African leaders who care only about power and wealth and nothing about the poor masses? Isn't it a shame that the poorest region in Africa (Northern Nigeria) is inhabited by the richest Black man? The disgust I feel at these realities are so intense that I question the existence of God to begin with. 1 Like |

cap28: I highly regard what you and dasparrow have said on this issue of racism because it is exactly what many modern AA have re-entrenched back into, some primal and complacent state as well, extremely daft. "This is survival of the fittest" "this be a dog eat dog world" "why do you hate yourself?? white peoples do the same thing like us, killing each other"... stuck in a pure shameless animal state but somehow trying to downplay racism. Whenever I come across something cool white people created, it's always a team of them that was behind the creation, but instead too many of our pathetic black ppl are STILL proudly shouting "dog eat dog" bvllshit hating each other while proudly kissing up to white ppl. Everything theyve created makes us appear that much smaller remaining at their mercy. They dont begin to understand that black woman dont even like black men unless they have white money in their pockets, likely from a white job.. lol. Too many of us walk away feeling like Kings of the Blacks only because whites thought us their science... all you really can do at this point is go back into acting like an animal when you've been thoroughly defeated, fighting each other for the littlest crumbs of privilege that falls off white people's table. I could go on but I'm preaching to choir as you fellas are seeing the same tired bvllshit I see and on that basis alone I respect you. Just make sure you have eyes on these types of blacks at all times. Once again, close examination of African slavery will remind us the extremities the "dog eat dog" black man will do when he thinks he needs to survive. They would have killed Blacks like us. Harriet Tubman shot the 'dog eat dog' type of black slave on sight because instead of running away with her gang their selfish black ass.es would have foiled their escape plan for the smallest lure of white trinkets (privilege).. nothing has changed. Everything about Tubman (and others like her) I've beatified for my personal meaning. I could be wrong, but I dont think even Jews helped Hitler find more Jews once they got wind of Hitler's master plan. But I forgot Blacks are not like that, we're all "dog eat dog" Hang in there. 1 Like |
