They are superior to us. I do agree with you. Africa is innately raw. You see a decent queue here in the Uk... a Nigerian man can arrive and would be impatient to wait like others. One day we were to queue to board a plane at Casablanca and we were connecting to Nigeria from the Uk. The whites amongst us were cool calm and collected waiting for their turn. Before we knew it, some women just came and went straight to the front and like a flash, everyone left their position and started rushing to board in.

I was really embarrassed that day and they were shouting at the flight attendants passing us in. I just hope one day we can teach our children patience and a modest lifestyle. Dino will be here flaunting cars, while May is there trying not to disappoint her citizens in the EU negotiations.

We need a reorientation... and I pray God just helps us
nice thought!

I don't see what is racist about the video o. But since Dove has owned up to the accusations, issoryt.
of course it is discriminatory. The whole point is that the white woman is more attractive due to her skin colour.

Have you heard of hillbillies, rednecks and savagery white people? I'm sure you haven't. Categorically, the retar.ded idiots blowing themselves up in the name of religion are Caucasians just like their fellow Neanderthals in Europe. Let the white race get subjected to one tenth of what black race has been subjected to and see how uncultured and savagery they will be. It is funny when someone like you makes very unintelligent comment just to say absolute garbage. The number one problem with black race is that vast majority of us are suffering from mental slavery and I can smell it all over your unless post.


God bless u sir!

This is a very foolish attempt at proving nothing. The whites could be superior to you and your household, it does not to some of us. The moment you realise that skin colour does not determine superiority, the better it would be for you see life from the perspective dogged Africans see.

I would have expected you to say they observe laws to the letter than we do but superior? I honestly don't know how you got into the UK but I'd suggest you start working on your self esteem.

Take a moment to study the rednecks.

God bless u sir!

There are optional materials they could use to market their product. A giant company like that knows how sensitive people can be. Sometimes they are just looking for trouble or want to be heard or are seeking attention when they portrayed White and Black in ads like this.

Race issue is so sensitive. Anyways, i don't like Dove. It is so hyped far as i am concerned but fake. The first time i used it my body felt slippery and not soapy. I am talking about when Oprah Winfrey used to advertise for them. I don't know now. I stopped using it since then.

Superior! I am sure that's what you are teaching your kids, if you have one. Please talk for yourself. Their collective circumstances may give them superior advantage but that's not the same as being intellectually superior. Their present circumstances is a result of decades of evil and non-evil perpetuations. At some point in the past, people of colour ruled this world but no condition is permanent.

Seconded. I can confirm that most white Americans are insanely dumb and ignorant.

Why don't you marry an Albino? She has the same "attractive" skin color

They sell a skin lightening product,how do you expect them to exhibit the potency of their product?


I don't see any body lashing white people at the beach trying to get a tan.

Isn't that "racism " in your own terms.

Lighten your skin if you want to lighten your skin abeg.

Black is beautiful , black is beautiful, why don't you paint your house black?

What is appealing to everyone is different.

You don't get it!

It's not about the product that folks are concerned about but the subliminal message passed across in advertising it. This concern is all the more warranted given that the firm in question has a history of doing this.

Well, I don't live there hence can't truthfully say I know what they are feeling but I do know that "he who wears the shoes..." you know the rest.

You nailed it bro. And that's why I keep asking, how did I end up as a Nigerian! Its sad and pathetic. We have lost modesty, patience, calmness amongst other endless list of things. Seems God is not even interested in naija matter again. Our prayers for changes ain't getting answers.
I think God might become interested when we the people show enough interest and determination to get things done, and right too. The nations we envy are a result of the hardwork of their citizens. We must also strive to do the same. God will not come down from heaven, as He has given us all that pertains to life and rightful living. My two cents

This is a very interesting quote. I don't think Racism is something we can do away with, but I suppose it's more mental now than physical.
yes you can. Just start fixing Your Own shit and you win respect. But as long as we keep struggling to enter white man's land.. ... They will remain superior to us
