Your reading and interpretation of history and its supposed consequences is equal to that of a 4 year old child. Tell me something. Name me one book on African history you've ever read. Just one.

Don't bother. I know the answer. Zero. Expert on "our ancestors".

Look. Let us not trade insults.

Understand what I mean. Even if what they did was wrong, they did it for the benefit of the their own people.

We are the losers. They won

If I sell you chocks gotten from a lecturers office does that exempt you from responsibility? No!

And I think it's disingenous to stop just at the part where we sold slaves to them. You skipped the part where they camped ships at the shore of a lot of riverine communities and forced them to give up the sovereignty of their land and the ownership of the resources therein.

You skipped the part where they themselves organised raiding parties to gather slaves.

You skipped the part where they forcibly fused different tribes under a single geographical entity just because they were too lazy to rule us separately and they were too stingy to disburse funds to rule us effectively separate. And years after they have left we are still feeling the tremors of this forced union.

So I think you do yourself and your generations to come a disservice for this dishonest defense of a reply you wrote here.
It must be frustrating having to read through the wretchedly uninformed posts here. Your intelligence and knowledge far supercedes what's on offer by our resident slave-minded dunderheads here.

See ehn, if it was our forefathers who did the same to make us developed then you wouldn't be arguing.

They did what they had to do to get where they are.

Even if what they did was vile and savage, they got what they wanted.

It is sad we are the victims though

Then I must really be an immoral person. But thankfully I strive hard not to be. Go on-line and see how many people are writing articles, forming rights organisations and going on peace works because of the atrocities committed by their ancestors. Are you telling me that those people have more morality than you? It would be shameful indeed.

Lol. That won't change anything. Africans will still serve foreign gods, give testimonies about getting visas to the same US whose ancestors enslaved us, loot public funds and take the loot to foreign banks

Sorry but not sorry. I'd rather buy myself that dream car and take myself on that dream date to Rome. And you gain nothing from dissing somebody who doesn't know you exist on a website she doesn't even visit. You just sound petty and little.

Hey if you don't there are many other damsels that will take my offer. Many beautiful, intelligent and more successful than you. Chimamanda is a stupid Biafran feminist and homosexual agitator.

I think she nailed it. A white man can never understand what it's like to be racially abused.

How wud they understand it when they live , respect and protect each other... In America alone 70% of gangsters are blacks, and they kill themselves everyday...the black race is a cursed race...we discriminate , with a wicked repulsive selfish heart...how many charity organizations thrive in Africa, with all the money we have...in this forum alone, they hv created NCAN , to discriminate against each other...they black race can never unite, unlike the white race , this is what the white race keep on using against us...dont forget that it was a black man that killed Malcolm x and martin Luther King...look at what happened in south Africa ( xenophobia) .... Tell me where that sort of thing happens in a developed white man country against their fellow race... Chiamanda should just Stfu, just like Most women , talking without concrete thoughts...And pls , no one should come here to spree rubbish that she has achieved alot...she chose that part, its not everybody that wants to come out in the limelight...she is accusing trump and his race, but still lives in his country...hypocritical f.ool

You mean many "other damsels" who you will later come on nairaland and call Olosho for coming for only your money and not for love. I stand on what I say, I will buy myself that bomb-ass car and take myself on that crazy trip. No strings attached, to myself off course.

Yes it will. The world is changing people are now becoming more aware of their faults and acknowledging it. Germany has apologised for the holocaust, The Vatican has apologized to women for the "witch-burning" era where hundreds thousands of women were burnt for witchcraft. If you want to be a pessimist that's on you. If you don't want to change the world that's fine. Just don't endorse these despicable art or glorify them as you have done with that article.

They apologized. Did the Vatican bother to tell people that Jesus is just a myth or has the apology made Germans less racist?

I live in the UK and I've spent considerably amount of time in the states and know what racism mean not in theory but from first hand experience - Next time do not assume everyone on Nairaland lives in Nigeria and have no experience of what blacks go through, also no need for calling me ignorant, I only made a comment on the way I feel.

Now to the point, I experience racism as well ,mostly from white people that are not necessarily racist but have no idea of who I am, so therefore, they ask silly questions and make a wrong generalization, that's on the surface level and experience proper ones once in a while

I do not condone racism, but I'm speaking from the video i saw(by the way I watched the extended version, not the one on this forum), Chimamanda has a history of doing this. She once shut-down a guy in Lagos just because he said "beauty with brains to her".

Again racism is not only faced by black people, but Asians, whites and Europeans can find themselves at the opposite end as well.

Trust me, I know what blacks go through in the western world.

I don't believe in racism, we are all human beings. Racism is just people hating on each other regardless of colour. What will you say about our different tribes in Nigeria? Nigerians are more racists against themselves than any other, and we still the black race. Racism is overrated.
