Yea sure all the millions of threads being opened on African American forums calling African people African Booty Scratcher. I ain’t African, Africans are this and that are Africans pretending to be black Americans, mtchew. What nonsense. Black Americans diss and insult all Africans not just Nigerians. There many threads of them dissing Africans in general. So what’s your not lie going to be?

Originalsly:


Hmmm....Black Americans are saying others are reaping the fruits of their labour?...this is news to me....never heard about that....but that's a fact and personally... they should be saying that a whole lot to inform and remind sooo many of us who believe they do nothing.
On looking down.... no doubt...but we look down on them a whole lot more since we have 'cast mentality' and see them all as descendants of slaves therefore in our minds they are all slaves...lowest cast.
On their part..looking down on us.... it's no different from other races because of how Africans are widely portrayed by the mass media. Thanks to the internet.... information is no longer controlled by a few and perception of Africans by African Americans have significantly improved wayy more than 100% over recent times and still improving.
Nollywood had unknowingly done a tremendous job in changing the perception of Africans .... uprooted the image Hollywood was pushing for yearssss. Do you think Hollywood would now dare to remake a Tarzan movie?
It is for us to help educate and share our culture to those in the diaspora ... and help bridge the great gap created by the Slave Trade and oppressors.
And yesss..... the back and forth need to stop. The invitation by the Ghanaian President to all Africans in the diaspora to visit the Motherland was sooo inspiring. A few of my friends have taken up the offer.
Yes...we need to bridge the gap.

No matter where you come from...
As long as you're a Black man....
you're an African
No mind your nationality ...
you've got the identity of an African

In Nigeria, the majority of the tribalism and name-calling begins and ends online. In America racism is both online and offline. Black Americans don’t like Africans. Black Americans or ADOS, as they now call themselves, show this bad blood in real life. That’s why I don’t understand what khiaa is talking about when she says white people are the only racist people in the world

Backfornow:


What is happening to you? You were always openminded and impartial. I admired that alot about you. Surely you know that YouTube and etc are a fragment or segment of the black American population. Just like I understand that the hateful Nigerians I've run into in person an d online are just a fragment of the Nigerian population.

Favor99:

I’m sorry about that. I do love and admire Black Americans. The majority of my experiences with them have been good. I’m going off what I’ve seen on YouTube and information from others that have had bad experiences. I’m sorry I didn’t mean offend you. But yes their are good and bad people in every group and race

Delivar:

What I mean is that Asians don't complain of racism as heavily as blacks do. They don't get the kind of mistreatment blacks get. I know you are aware of that too.

And you think it was always like that? Do you realize that anti-Asian racism in the west used to be so bad that the US completely banned Chinese immigration in 1882, Canada did the same in 1885, and Australia followed in 1901? Are you aware that it was the imposition of similar policies against the Japanese, including the veto of their attempt to add a "Racial Equality Clause" to the League of Nations charter, which set them on the path that would lead to Pearl Harbor? I'm guessing you have no clue just how many tens of millions of Asians died in racist wars of imperialist aggression between the Opium Wars of 1852 and the end of the Vietnam War in 1975? Did you have even the faintest idea that it was the black Civil Rights movement that eventually pushed the USA to roll back its anti-Asian laws and allow them to start immigrating in the late 1960s?

As I said, you speak from a position of rank ignorance, fueled by nothing more than your own self-loathing. It took a lot of Asians dying horrible deaths in war for them to reach the point you see today, from nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to napalm carpet-bombing of South Vietnam; it wasn't as if white people simply decided "These guys are alright, let's treat them better than black people", they forced the west to respect them the hard way, through fighting that would make the Biafran War look like child's play, just as the Israel so many Nairalanders uncritically admire forced the world to take Jews seriously by repeatedly beating the Arabs in war. Nobody respects a despised group just because they happen to follow some "model minority" template, that's just some right-wing hogwash for consumption by the self-hating.

Don't forget about the whites putting Japanese American citizens in concentrations camps right here on U.S. soil and later paying millions of dollars out to them in reparations. Delivar doesn't know what he's talking about.

Delivar:

Let's talk about today. Today is what matters and not events of many years ago. Are Asians being mistreated
badly today the same way blacks are being mistreated? If your answer is NO then why is it so? These are the questions you should ask yourself to help you figure out what can be done to end racism against blacks. Screaming whites are demons isn't going to solve this problem I assure you.

omohayek:

You clearly have a reading comprehension problem if you can't grasp that I already told you how Asians paid for their better treatment today: through tens of millions of their lives being cut short in wars waged by Western aggressors. Are you allergic to learning from history or something?

Try and demonstrate you have working brain-cells instead of putting ridiculous words in my mouth. The only one "screaming" that "whites are demons" here is you, in a bid to set up straw men you can knock down instead of addressing your raving ignorance. Here, read the following articles (all by the white men you worship) carefully and completely before spouting yet more nonsense that just makes you look like you belong in a "special-education" class.

And as a bonus, here's an article from the Japanese American Citizens League, putting the lie to your earlier claims about Asians not complaining about racism:

https://jacl.org/asian-american-history/

And here's just one example of a "model minority" Asian - a doctor - being treated just as badly as any of the black people you think must have earned their mistreatment by "misbehaving":

http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/04/dr-dao-and-the-model-minority-in-the-age-of-trump.html

Who am I kidding: of course you won't read any of them, as doing so would only interfere with your ability to regurgitate more inanities about "Screaming whites are demons" ... If conforming to some imaginary "model minority" stereotype was all it took to get white people to love other races, why all that terrible history you're so eager to avoid learning about? Do you think Chinese, Koreans, Japanese and all the others who used to be regarded as scheming and untrustworthy "gooks" and "slopes" suddenly decided sometime in the 1960s to change their entire cultures or something?

The greatest irony of your situation, assuming you are telling the truth about living in Chicago (which I highly doubt) is that the only reason your black a.ss was allowed into the USA in the first place is because of all the suffering and striving carried out by black Americans to tear down racist policies that would have kept you trapped forever in Nigeria, and yet you insist on spitting on the very people to whom you owe your supposed good fortune. As well as being a self-hater, you are an ingrate of the worst kind.

Delivar:

The situation today is what matters and not about the situation of 150 years ago. The situation today shows that whites respect Asians much more than blacks.

You sound like your solution to racism against blacks is by asking blacks to keep fighting whites so blacks can finally earn their respect.

Blacks have been fighting whites over racism for over 400 years and racism still exists. If fighting earns you respect why do blacks still face worse racism than any other race on the planet?

Listen bro, as long as Africa is a mess black people will never earn respect. Even if blacks fight for 100 years more the racism will still persist and the end result will only be whites pretending to love blacks. You think Asians got respected just because they fought? That's hogwash. Asians are respected today because they can challenge and match the whites in every field of endeavour, academically, technologically and standard of living. Whenever blacks finally improve their standard of living that's when their respect will be handed to them and racism will die out.

khiaa:


Are Asians discriminated against in the U.S today, yes, are Asians treated as bad as blacks, no because they aren't african or African descent?

Delivar:

I am glad you have accepted that Asians are not badly treated as blacks TODAY. So the question is WHY?? There must be something about blacks that makes them disliked by not only whites, but including Asians and Arabs. What exactly it is? Can you figure it out?

khiaa:


Africans/Blacks are hated throughout the world, who knows why? I really don't care because It's not like I hold any special love for them. As long as they leave me alone I'm fine.

Some of the comments I said about Black Americans African Americans a few years ago wasn’t right. I’m not sure if it was on this thread or not. It’s a long story and if I was to explain why it would make sense. Complete misunderstanding, very unfortunate. Black Americans are good people, although it’s true some are racist against us, but it’s likely due to miscommunication and misunderstanding.

We still need to come together in one love and unity and communicate. No more fighting between us. Love, respect and family.

I apologize

khia:


It's not true, Black Americans aren't racist against Africans, that's not even possible considering we are of the same race. Some BA don't like some Africans because they come to the US with a sense of superiority towards BA and nobody else.

They come here with that false view of BA taught to them by their white racist gods (the true people who are racist against them, whom these brainwashed Africans highly respect and adore) they are shocked when they see BA not bowing down to their white Gods like they do and the resentment begins.

They begin their learned bigotry taught to them by the media and their parents without knowing BA at all. Instead of getting to know them they start their bullshit.

BA are lazy, BA are drug dealers, BA are uneducated, BA have roach babies, BA are theives, ALL 40 million BA live in the same ghetto neighborhood. The sad thing is all these things they are spewing about BA is the reality of the homeland they just fled.

Just look at the multiple hate topics against black Americans created on this very website
which actually spews from a sense of inferiority and you wonder why BA view Africans (mostly Nigerians) the way they do.

Some of you guys are hardcore coons, and proud to be the mouthpieces for white supremacists just to receive that rub on the head and pat on the back from your gods while telling you, "You're alright, "We'll throw you a bone because you're not like those BA nig*ers".

You believe what they say is the truth because that's what you have always believed which is ironic coming from a race of people who don't even know the meaning of the word "TRUTH". SBT

I disagree. Many Africans and Nigerians have gone through racism from Black Americans so that’s not true.

I can’t attest to Nigerians having a superiority mindset against you. I know I don’t have that mindset.

We need to come together and stop fighting one another. I love you and love Black Americans. We’re close we family, brothers and sisters. This stems from misunderstanding and incorrect information.

Both sides not liking the other side. This is 90-95% a communication issue.

A divided house can’t stand. Both sides in truth love one another. Let’s not allow other races and groups of people divide us. One love

khia:


1. Give me one incident of a BA setting up a systematic racist institution that prevents Africans from living a happy prosperous life in the US. You see Favor99 that's what racism does. We don't have that power and if we did it wouldn't be towards Africans.

2. You know damn well Nigerians have a superiority complex over all Africans/blacks but inferior to all other races. As a matter of fact it's the Nigerian Arrogance ( not to be confused with confidence) that turns everyone off.

3. Don't tell me you love BA while telling the whites how much you love them as well (yes you have said that) the same people who have caused.my people so much.misery in the past as well as the present.

The same people you claim are trying to make things better for us, the same people you claim are no longer racist towards us. According to you the system has flipped, whites are no longer racist to BA but BA now controls the institutional system and are applying that evil systemic racism toward Africans.

Favor99:

Hey Khia good evening . I trust your day went well. Hope all has been well.
1. So according to this logic, Nigerians are also not racist towards Black Americans. Any and all races are racists to an extent.

2. Yes I’ve heard a lot Nigerians have an arrogance thing, but it’s not the only reason that makes people hate Nigerians

3. I’m sorry. I love Black Americans sooo much. You can still love two people at the same time lol. They can’t do anything to black people anymore. As long as we don’t allow other groups pit us against each other.

4. No systemic racism is still there, just not as pronounced as it was 50 or 60 years ago. The reason it’s not as pronounced as it used to is the Civil Rights movement, the constant protesting and advocacy from groups like Black Lives Matter. If not for this, we would still be living in 1950’s America. So racism is definitely there, but blacks have fought against it.

At the end of the day, blood is thicker than water. We blacks can’t be fighting each other. We should love one another and be family. We’re very very beautiful. We need to put aside past problems and accusations we had for each other and come together. Black Americans and Nigerians/Africans Caribbeans and all blacks are one. We’re powerful.

I’m sorry Nigerians have had a superiority complex towards Black Americans and other groups. It’s very annoying and wrong. We do it to each other to

We really need to treat each other right with love and respect. We’re still family.
