Racism: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

Would the cop have knelt on the neck of an unarmed white man for 8 minutes? Again, the names I mentioned earlier, there was no shared past so please defend those ones as well.

I am black but you see all this protest by the black community and riots going on freely is simply because of excessive freedom and how liberal the western world had open up to people. I have traveled to 9 countries and I must say, I feel more attached and comfortable mingling with white folks than the blacks.

Where in the world aside the western world can you travel from GOd knows where and give birth to a child and the child automatically become a full citizen enjoying same privilege as the indigenous people. Where in the world can you automatically get citizenship by marrying a citizen. I studied in the UK, your child automatically get access to free education, health care and a lot of facilities by the virtue of your student status in the west. A lot of students exploit the system especially those on scholarship by bringing their spouse and children while on study, thereby overstretching the limited resources. Go to the hospital and see indigenous white queuing for appointments that might take close to a month before they get access to see a doctor because a lot of people both foreigners and citizen had booked earlier. They were overwhelmed by such things and displayed decorum in votes to pull out of EU rather than following the path of fellow BLACK xenophobic South Africans displayed some time ago.
.
See, typically the black man in a white man’s country is so sensitive to how the white react, speak or even look at him and point to racism at every instance. I had a friend who worked in a bar and was dismissed because of his carelessness and poor attitude to work...before he left the bar he made sure he created a scene shouting racism racism. They were so courteous not to respond or engage him in a fight because they know most of the black Africans use racism to cover their shits.

.
Now we have phrases like black excellence, black live matters, I am black and proud, black history....flip the coin and say something like white supremacy, white excellence, white rules and hell will be let loose from the black community pointing racism. What sort of inferiority can that be?
.
Lastly, you see this Arab countries or most Asian countries.. nobody do racism pass them, but why don’t the suppressed black population protest...because the freedom is limited and they make sure you understand from your first presence in the country that you are second class to them and nothing can change that. Anyway, as the saying goes...when you give somebody a yard he will later ask for a mile.

A man is only respected and modelled if he earns such. Look at the African continent, the poorest, the most docile, the most disease ravaged, the most corrupt, the most backward...who has ever earned respect by displaying such attributes??

Black people must do better, otherwise it's okay for them to be killed anyhow? Kontinu. And how about those that abide by the laws but still experience racism? Racism is beyond the covert killings, there are lots of subtle acts as well with many aspects of people's lives impacted. Promotions. School selections. Jobs. Interviews.

Anyway, it wasn't you I quoted so please stay out of it. When a person who has only travelled around and studied is making stupid generalizations about people's DAILY experiences, he needs to be called out. Simple.

Shattuck:
I agree with you that those other deaths might have been an act of racism. but not all police brutality against blacks should be regarded as racism,sometimes it's just police brutality.

winosport:
So bascially what you saying is we should overlook the killings by cops every now and then because the whites have been so gracious to us.Bro you aint the only one who has been abroad i know this people i have been around them even been in relationships with them, some are very free spirited but the calous ones, Bleep they are wicked to the core....There is no excuse for taking another man's live in such a cruel and heartless manner, nothing gives you the right to hate me just because my skin color differs from yours....let people cry, march, sing,burn things there is no right or wrong way to express your grief

Blackmoran:
Inferior and weak people always have this consciousness that they can't compete, so they use this tactics of been a victim to get the sympathy of others, there is no different between feminism, and most black Americans. Including majority of Africans... We have this self entitlement, the day we look inward and take responsibility and be self reliant, we would continue to always point fingers.....

Try to decolonize your selfish. Do you understand institutional racism?, people like who have no idea that the life you live today and mingle with other race freely, others fought with their lives for you. Those folks protesting in USA and elsewhere in the western world understand the game more than you do.

One thing about Nairaland is that one can easily spot unintelligent people.

@Gwan2, made an excellent submission, but some unintelligent fools have been calling him out on his comment, trying to poke holes in his comment, even though there is none.

The simple truth is that, there is no where racism doesn't exist. Right here in Nigeria, we call it tribalism, but it's simply racism. Even here on Nairaland, we all witness everyday, how, especially, two of the three major tribes exchange bigoted, hateful comments.

If the US was that bad, someone like Obama would never become a President.

You should also check out the incident of Amy Cooper, the lady who called the cops on an African American man falsely accusing him of threatening her. His saving grace was that he was recording it otherwise a perfectly innocent man would have landed in jail, or even worse been killed simply due to racial bias. Racism is a serious issue, we can't afford to sweep it under the carpet or make excuses for it.

Blacks are currently more likely to make decisions based on skin color than whites. We hear all the time how a Nigerian win election in the UK and other White countries. It's 100% impossible right now for black people to elect a white man in a black dominated society even if the white man was born in Nigeria and has lived his entire life here his opposition will say he is here to enslave us that we shouldn't turn our backs on a fellow black. If whites truly decide to start making choices based on skin color no single black American will smell city mayor or governor not to mention Congress or presidency.

Racism is such a sensitive matter
you can't fight bad with bad.. it only brings more bad
blacks in America are a minority.. so there's not so much you can do to "show them where it hurts"
we just have to take this as it is... I don't see racism ending because of speeches and protests, we've been doing that for decades now

Can u suggest better ways UEFA can handle racism ?

tot:


Most of them have no clue, thus the nonsense epistle people like Gwan2 come to write on Nairaland on the basis of a few travel experiences and living in a place for one month. Live there for a lifetime, experience being excluded from interviews or jobs based on someone's bias, experience cops being set free even after shooting an unarmed person, experience someone falsely calling the cop on you and using your skin color to describe you, then come back and justify this nonsense. MLK must be turning in his grave seeing what some black men are using the platform they have to do. Shame!

fairheart:


You are still wrong! Nobody is saying racism is good, or supporting a few white people that are racists. You need to do objective reading. If the line I bold in your comment is objective, based on fact and reality in our world, we know Obama would never have become the 44th U.S president. The Mayor of Washington DC, the U.S capital and office of the a white U.S president, is a woman like yourself, a black person! We have black Senators in U.S Congress, we have black governors, etc. Can you weigh these truth against the bold sentence and see how erroneous you are?

Activism against injustice must be done objectively, not with sentiment. And that is why Black Americans are not improving or changing their narrative. In a country black people kill more black people than white ever done, what do you have to say to that? The racist whites would say, "look, their lives matter and they are killing themselves like animals?"

Do your research before you attack objective view on this subject. People will address you the way you portray yourself, which is why black people must do better humanly, so that their efforts to remove racism can be complemented. Also, racism is a global issue.

The empathy we have for black people that have been murdered by white police is genuine, but what if I tell you it is racial empathy? Imagine white people protesting the killing of white people by U.S police, what would you say. If MLK wake up from his sleep and look at things, I can tell you for a fact that he will severally reprimand the black community than he will criticism the few white racists. You don't know anything about the man you quoted. He is a principled activist, not a sentimental man like most black Americans.

Racism is evil. It is everywhere. But while we point the finger, we've got to check ourselves and fix up our mentality. But I do understand you!

abbey621:


You are not black but live in Nigeria and obviously is well versed on the history of Nigeria and the Nigerian people, ogbeni you're BLACK! I don't care what your skin color is, stupidity comes in many shades and colors . Again I ask you to define counter racism? Choosing to patronize the black community instead of putting majority of my money on non black owned businesses is counter racism? You're delusional, how do you think the whites, the Jews became so powerful. In a fair system there would be no need for it but since we all know the system is bias and unjust then blacks must save blacks, we can't continue to wait on the white messiah or the jewish king.
