The Europeans never recognized nor agreed to the fact that Ancient Egyptians or Abbysinians (Ethiopians) were black.
That is why they do not classify us under the same racial category with these people. I have done an extensive research on this. They claim Horn africans are of Hamitic-semitic descent just like the Arabs while ancient Egyptians were caucasian just like current day north africans... We all know this is false.. But hey they invented all these terminologies and hence did the classifications.

Agreed. I've read extensively on this topic, ancient Egyptians were indeed black, this includes all the pharaohs'. Do you realize that Jesus is depicted as a Caucasian instead of middle easterner in most of their portraits? Some depict Him with an image of blond hair and blue eyes. There are several conspiracies in this world, one major one is an attempt to make black race look like a primitive race but in actual fact we had existing empires even before the coming of technology age.

LordAdam16:


Egyptians were mixed, not black. Ethiopians were respected by the Assyrians, Persians, and Romans. They didn't pursue too far out militarily, so they were never taken as existential threats. Even the Nubians took black slaves from surrounding black societies around them. The Bini king in time past were buried with the heads of up to 2,000 captured slaves. Slavery is slavery. Whether inter-racial or intra-racial, it is bad, it has been abolished, and we have to move forward.

Napolean went to Egypt and was awed. The Brits went to India and were awed. The Brits/French/Germans came to sub-Saharan Africa and were embarrassed. Even the Spanish who landed in South America had better things to say about the native population than their contemporaries had to say about sub-Saharan Africa.

So the Europeans ransacked Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and South America at about the same time. 100 years later, only Africa is struggling at the bottom, and yet you want them to respect you?

How? Why?

Respect is earned. And collectively as a people, we have done nothing in the past to deserve any respect. We are doing nothing at the moment to deserve any respect. That's why we've become professional protesters. We are great at giving speeches and pointing out the frailties of the white man, but we have no solution to the Malaria epidemic. We can't seem to know how to curb the despicable situation where aid for refugees is sold in the open market.

And that's the fact. The problem of the black race is the Black Man's inability to work together with fellow Blacks for the collective good of the black community. Individually we are excellent, collectively we are abysmal. Until we work on ourselves more than we concern ourselves about what others think of us (unfairly or not), we'd always be at the bottom.

You hit the nail accurately in the right spot.

Dude, focus on your race, she has just given you a tip of their deadly poison but low self esteem will not allow you to see it. By the time white girls deal with you that "oyinbo life is so simple" wen you de talk go change to another thing

The author goofed IMO this wasn't a case of racism remember they chose to park next to a car whose occupant was a black woman.

The women were simply paranoid.

LordAdam16:


Dude, you should read more if you rarely "see" or "hear" Asians complain about racism. They do. And whether it is in America or the Middle East, they get discriminated against. The difference however is that as you said Asia is gradually becoming a high-income continent.

The China-US trade deficit is over $300b. The size of our economy is around $500b. Japan, China are two of the top 3 economies. Unemployment rate in Hong Kong is less than 1%.

But here's the thing, while Asians complain about racism in host countries. They don't treat it the way blacks treat it, because they themselves don't feel inferior to the whites. Blacks do. Blacks blame the whites for virtually every problem they face, whether in Africa or in North America. Asians don't have that time.

Japan became the second largest economy in the world in the same time it took Germany to become the largest economy in Europe. Both countries lost the second world war. The Japs see themselves as peculiar people, like the Germans and Jews do. To become a Jew you only have to have Jewish parent, to be a true Jap, you have to be born by two Japanese parents and raised in Japan. Japanese are racist to fellow Asians and even half-Japs. 1 in 3 tourists encounter racism in Japan.

So you can't be racist to a racist. Do you want to talk about the Chinese, Indians, Koreans, Malays, Thais, Vets.

Blacks do not deserve respect. Individually, yes; and if you excel in personal undertakings, many people with racist tendencies will even accept you; case in point the Black politicians in Italy and Russia winning posts, a mixed Black Jap winning a beauty pageant in Japan (they aren't accepted in the entire country, but they get by). But collectively, as a group, we have done nothing to deserve respect.

We can win as many prizes for individual achievement out there, but as long as Africa remains a stain on this planet, brimming with resources yet the disease, poverty, and non-productivity is perplexing; no one would take the Afro race serious, and nor should they.

The population of China and Africa is the same. Yet, while China practiced a one-child policy starting several decades back to curb overpopulation because of finite resources, over here we are still giving birth like rats even though we lack the technical knowhow to produce toothpicks.

Here's Lord Lugard's (some people's hero, since Nigeria's structure can't be negotiated anymore) take on Africans "In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person. Lacking in self control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving
weapons as an oriental loves jewelry. His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future, or grief for the past."

And even though the Brits conquered and pummeled India like they did parts of Africa, here was Lord Lugard's comparison on Europeans, Asiatics, and Africans. "His [ An African] mind is far nearer to the animal world than the that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the State he has reached."

Europeans and Asians on one hand and Africans on the other. It wasn't just color. It takes a pathological sense of victimhood for anyone to think it is only about color.

Even then at the end of the 19th and start of the 20th centuries, when Britain had Africa and Asia well within its grip, Lugard knew which race was a doormat and which was at least the equal of Europeans. 100 years on and he couldn't have been more correct.

-Lord

you got that right

travelland:


How old are you? I'm guessing you are an inexperienced teenager who feels the need to type something even when he has absolutely no knowledge or clue of what he's saying. Clap for yourself

that guy you quoted is absolutely correct and you are the one that got it wrong.we have to build africa first in order to earn respect from the whites.

Interesting reading this thread, on another thread some Nigerians were were claiming that racism is not that bad in the U.S . Until one lives here , they can’t truely understand it .

Ugosample:


If a white politician commits fraud, and GETS CAUGHT, The SOCIETY will ostracize him and he will carry his load


In black Africa, if you are caught in fraud, you will have your kinsnen and paid fools on the streets protesting to free you and whipping up ethnic sentiments

The height of this was the #FreeEvans hashtag last year.

In Ivory coast, some still deify Gbagbo despite the damage he did to that country

Examples are endless


So the deduction of this narrative is that black men (I'm resisting the urge to say monkey) tolerates crime and worship money.


According to falz----- This is Nigeria, everybody be criminal

Stop saying white man,it infuriating. Better say German or British because people are influenced by their environment and not their skin color.

Russia is very corrupt and Putin is rumoured to be a billionaire. A blind eye is turned when it comes to corruption in Russia. It was rumoured $50b was spent on the Winter Games for instance.

Ukraine is also notorious for corruption. In the EU, Romania, Bulgaria and Malta are notorious for corruption.

And if we should include South America, the list is endless. Brazil and Argentina, the 2 largest economies are notorious for corruption. They are all corrupt probably exempting Chile and Uruguay. These 2 have tolerable levels of corruption.

England, USA and many developed white nations today had lots of corruption but as they grew richer, they were able to tame the monster.

I saw two ladies and decided to ask them. I approached their car and immediately they spotted me they roll up the car windows and warned me to stay away from them. They were very scared and locked the doors of the car and drove off immediately.

Since the write-up confirms an awareness that in the USA, the general rule of thumb is that white women fear black men by pure instinct, the writer's first mistake, as a man of African ancestry living in the USA, was to approach a car containing two white women, to say ANYTHING.

Most street muggings start off with the perpetrator asking some manner of distracting question from the victim, before then launching the attack whilst the victim is thinking about a response to the question asked by a total stranger. By striding up to a car occupied by women, the bold African set off MAJOR alarms that prevented the occupants of that car from even hearing what he was trying to say, since they would have been focused on the hands of the rapidly approaching man, to see if he might be armed.

There is no reason to test out your welcome among all the disparate racial classifications that live in America, simply because you have an African accent when you speak, and therefore feel different, or perhaps even SUPERIOR, in comparison to a typical African-American "street nikkuh" who's uninvited rapid approach in a public place WOULD be perceived as a threat to all women, especially of non-black races.

When next you need travel directions at a highway rest-stop, look for the grounds-keepers or the janitors to seek directions. Consider this lesson in public relations, a fortunate one that ended well, for no gun was pulled on on the writer the instant he invaded those women's personal space.

deedeedee1:
Nobody hate black people. They are just viewed as inferior. Black people are believed to be closer to Apes. I wonder why I rarely see Asians complain about racism. The whites believe Asians are more intelligent than they are. Japan, China, South Korea, and even North Korea are technologically advanced. Their countries are extremely rich. The Asians have immense love for their culture and language. There is no respect for the black man at all. You want to know why? Because Africa, the origin of the black man is ensnared in famine, poverty, and underdevelopment. Another reason for this is because they created the countries we live in and we rever their language at the expense of ours. We must accept the fact that for black people to regarded and respected by other races, we must build Africa. But how can we build Africa when we have country like Nigeria that is filled with tribalism, hate, religion intolerance and killings? We should split Nigeria so that tribes that are compatible can live and grow together. The only way police brutality against African-Americans will stop is when we begin to have our Japan, China and Singapore in Africa. That is when the 'superior' whites will give Africans and her descendants respect.
This is my take

Well said !!!

One day, my wife and I were travelling from Miami, Florida to Cape Coral, Florida, USA. We had to drive through US 75. That road is Long and lonely, with very few petrol stations. Remember not to fall asleep because the road is straight , as if someone used a laser beam to measure it.

If you miss the last patrol station before the long straight you are in trouble when you run out. Because you will get stuck halfway at the Alligator Alley. You will find out soon enough why they call it the Alligator Alley.

The car was running low on gas, as the Americans would call it. ( I will further call it petrol.) So I decided to stop and ask if someone knows how far the next petrol station was. Because, I could only make another 40 miles with what I had. If it was too far from it I would rather go back to Miami to refill because I don’t like alligators.

So, we came to this nature reserve area and there were lots of people there. I felt safe. I parked the car, left my wife in the car and I walked about 100 meters away where other cars were parked. I saw two ladies and decided to ask them. I approached their car and immediately they spotted me they roll up the car windows and warned me to stay away from them. They were very scared and locked the doors of the car and drove off immediately.

Guess what? They drove to the other side of the park 100 meters away and parked next to my car with my wife sitting inside. There they felt safe because now they were three white women there. Remember the saying, there is safety in numbers.

I later found a man who politely told me that the next petrol station was just 10 miles away. So, I thanked him very much and started moving back to my car and these two women were right next to it..

Now, I was thinking, I hope these women don’t decide to shoot me to protect themselves from this ‘Black maniac’. I was trying to signal my wife to come out of the car at least to pretend she knew me, so the other women stay calm, but she was too busy with her magazine that she didn’t see my act of desperation. Now, I was thinking. I have protected you all my life, at last you have the chance to save me and you are reading a magazine.

Luckily, as I got closer the women thought the place was getting too dangerous and they drove away leaving my poor wife there to face the black maniac alone. When I got into the car, my wife said she didn’t notice anything.

Lesson Learned

No matter what you have achieved in life, as long as you are a Black man you remain a suspicious character and someone people have to watch out for. Except of course you are Barack Obama or Kofi Annan or maybe Denzel Washington. What is the difference? Everybody knows these men. They know they are not hooligans but not many people know me in Florida, for them I am just another Black man.

Primal instinct says, Black man is dangerous, RUN. That is not the time to figure out if the dude is Barack Obama or Kofi Annan, because then the same women would have come out of the car for an autograph. That is what you do when you get home. Then you feel regret. In the heat of the moment they must have been thinking, what a stupid and dangerous Black man? And I was thinking, some stupid White women? Actually, I thought we were all victims of circumstances. I wonder what ever happened to these women in the past. It was hurtful, but that is one of the realities of life.

I can just imagine their story in the next Tupperware meeting about how they escaped death on the US 75 from Miami to Naples from a manic black rapist.

Whether you like it or not, black people have a reputation, an image. It is that reputation that makes people to disrespect us. Not necessarily due to our colour. If we were green with the same reputation we would still get the same treatment. Then it will be the green people who did it.

Anytime, you see someone cheating, lying, doing corruption and other vices that is now the order of the day in Africa. Say something, do something. Remember, if you don’t, you are a party to creating the environment of disrespect black people face daily, whether for a job interview, or at the airport or at the restaurant. It is the same thing. We are being disrespected all over the world, no matter how rich you are. If you have a degree from Nigeria, they say it’s fake. I wonder why?

The transformation of the Black race must start with Nigerians because ONE of every SIX black person in the world is a Nigerian. So, we don’t have a cheating Nigerian, no, a cheating black man, Not a corrupt Nigerian, no, a corrupt black man, etc. You know how we can tell if someone is an Igbo man and the other is a Yoruba? White people can’t do that. In Europe and America Black is Black.

In Europe you don’t have corrupt White man, no, you have a corrupt politicians and a stealing dentist. Why, because the society don’t accept these vices and in Africa we accept them, and celebrate the people. That is why we are all labeled as such. We respect thieves, corrupt people and high level hooligans too much. So, we have branded ourselves to be such. Birds of the same feathers flock together they say.

No normal people sell their own people as slaves, Loot everything that belongs to everyone and bring it to other nations to develop themselves, steal food donated to their refugees, allow their citizens to live in disease and squalor. No, nobody that does that gets respected. The only different is, because the other people don’t know you personally, the only thing they see first is your colour and they base their judgement on that.

Yes, I know, it is wrong and I am not condoning discrimination but remember, if a lion is pursuing you, that is not the time to find out if it is a trained circus lion or one that escaped from the local zoo.

It’s time we hold ourselves to a higher moral and ethical standards. It is only by doing this the black race will ever gain respect from the world.
