Well, this is a nice gesture. At the end of the day, everyone just wants to be treated fairly and equally. Blacks have contributed far more to the development of America than any other (minority) race...

But for once, I must say 90% of American white folks are against the incessant Police killings and I am proud of them.

I also hope here in Africa we can stop tribalism cos that's what leads to external slavery. If we blacks and Africans don't love ourselves due to tribal differences, then how do we expect foreigners like Asians, Europeans to like us better than we love ourselves?


Tribalism? What of colorism? The day I'll start taking black people seriously is when they stop discriminating against people with a darker shade.

They scream racism, yet colorism has been thriving for years. Abeg! Let everybody do what is on their mind. If you can't tame yours, don't expect the next person to tame theirs.

Everyone should learn to protect themselves from external aggression. Don't be in places people don't like you or fight and get to the top where no one can discriminate against you.

I watched the way blacks were looting during the protest and I was ashamed of being black, we are our own problem, not whites.

Very Stupîd identification/tag/label

What is black and white?

Are you colour blind?

What is obvious is

BROWN AND PALE!

DON'T CONTINUE TO IDENTIFY WITH WHAT PEOPLE CALL YOU.

Good gesture but I'm almost sure none of those white people kneeling down is in a position to make significant changes to the systemic racism in America.

You're on point dear. I noticed colorism is usually more promoted by ladies though. The reason I say that is because most black ladies themselves believe they have to be light-skinned to look appealing to men or satisfy their personal beauty urges. We don't even look at those things at the end of the day.

It's also an issue in a country like India where lighter shades are preferred.

In countries like Nigeria the fastest way to stop tribalism is to follow the example of omoluabis of the southwest. The rest of Nigeria should reciprocate rather than try to take advantage of that virtue

This is what I have always said cos as a Yoruba man, I have never seen any tribe show the kind of openness and acceptance we've shown to other tribes living amongst us. Yet some will claim that we're tribalistic, while ignoring their own bigotry.

At the end of the day, most people know that Yorubas are the ideal model for peaceful coexistence.

Colorism is everywhere you find the black community. In America, India, Nigeria, and everywhere there is a lighter shade to compare. And no, the ladies didn't promote it. But then, they reacted to it in ways they thought would solve the problem for them. Color discrimination is not only targeted at ladies. Men suffer it too.

You know when I told my mum about this George thing, guess what she asked? How dark is he? And it turned out he was quite black.

They were once properties of the white people. They were owned and treated like horses and beasts of burden. This is emotional. Hopefully, this starts bringing more discussions to race relations.

The common issue is that some non-Yorubas don't understand their host community so they think the Yorubas tend to mock them but that's not the case. Some people still think calling them 'Omo Ibo' or 'Omo Nna' or 'Okoro' is derogatory and they take it personal not knowing that Yorubas will also say 'Ibadan jatijati, come here!', 'Omo Ijebu', 'Baba Egba', 'Ekiti', 'Oyo', 'Bororo fulani' etc. Yorubas are even too easy going in real life. The politicians and their antics to win elections is a different ball game. Some of us know this for a fact.

Lol, in the movie, The Wizard of USA, this act is like dumping water on Trump, for hearing of this, he is going to dissolve, leaving behind nothing but a mop of odd hairpiece.

Could say something profound but given the well meaning gesture of those white Americans I would be mean-spirited.

Well I agree with you, but just like you mentioned, reaction is everything. If someone doesn't like me because of my dark, fresh, God-given, melanin skin, that's their own problem. You can search for a lightskin person to fill in whatever position you have...

If you don't have inferiority complex personally, then a lot of things won't get to you. I stayed in Germany and I saw passive racism, even from a lecturer, but I smiled and schooled her.

Life is easy if we don't beat ourselves when others beat us.
