Obama used the same colour deception to almost destroy America. Now, he's back in the person of Joe Biden, to complete what he started. A straight forward, truth talking, howbeit, trash-talking undeplomatic Trump is better than a flattering Joe Biden.

An Indian considered black in America grin grin

Where is that one possible.

Indians will identify as blacks, you must be joking.

Kamala Harris mum is the fair hindu Indian from the Brahmins cast.

You are talking like someone who is not from Africa because of politics. Kamala father is a black man from Jamaica and her mother an Indian, that makes her a black woman irrespective of who raise her. In America, if one of your direct parent is a black person then you are black.

Her dad is black doesn't mean she is black, the culture she was trained in matters alot.

Her mum is Hindu and trained her as a hindu.

Her blackness matters only when there is election to seek the black vote.

Harris attended schools with majority-White populations from elementary school through high school.

After graduation from Howard she went back to California to her white space.

Please what make someone black? I need clarification. Let say Your father is yoruba and mother igbo, does that mean you are igbo only and not yoruba?

that means the person is half yoruba and half igbo... and the person can disguise when to act like a yoruba person to gain favors from yoruba and also act like igbo to gain favors from igbo.

you can't use Nigeria to compare... because in the U.S been black means been black american which is suppose to be like been a yoruba person or belonging to a tribe known as black american..

but black americans are not treated as a tribe, it is treated as an identity that anyone who is not wh:ite or euro-american can use for their benefits, that's one of the reasons a Nigerian/ a chinese/ an indian/ a jamaican born in the U.S can take opportunities meant for black americans.

black americans are people who have ancestors that went through slavery in the U.S.A..

In America any black person is considered African American. There is no distinction, a negro is a negro. Kamala father is also s descendant of slave.

Such a despicable comment. Trump lost because because of his divisive nature. He's just not potus material, and that's a fact.

Really? You're just knowing this? There's no major superpower including serious nations from Africa that dont have agents here.
Tip;
They use local names or names that sounds local, and make posts that are distinct.

They actually don't make post but online, and when they do it, it's done probably at middle of the night or early hours depend on location.
I may take time and single those posts and OPs later but now take a look at one of them working for a nation's intelligence OLAADEGBU

Thank you for the heads up.

my dear, USA is highly predictable,I quoted one Trump fan that Trump will lose election because of the following.
1.he is not representing the decisions of the NWO properly.he is not treating LGBT as the NWO expected him.obama did better.
2.the foundation of USA was patterned after ancient Rome whereby resources both human and material from all over the world are brought in to build Rome.but Trump wants to build walls.
3.
He failed to cut china to size,the Democrats are more effective in using diplomacy to destroy their enemies, Obama signed a deal with Iran knowing that the mad man that will take over will not honor the deal,the real war with China just started,if China survive what will come their way,then they must emerge new world power.

"I am not down with this description "people of colour". It is derogatory IMV. So the people who are describing others as people of colour are not people of colour themselves? Same people who pronounce Iran as Hi-ran and Iraq as Hi-raq instead of Hee-ran and Hee-raq, respectively. And I do not believe "people of colour" should be given jobs because they are "people of colour", but given jobs because they are the best for the jobs. And I certainly don't expect CNN to make any news of it, it makes it seem as though they are being done a favour. I am not a person if colour, I am a person: I will treat you as a human being because that is what you are. Your skin is something you'd discard at death and is not of prime imporance."

her culture, her experience may be black American but she is not black american and will never do anything to empower black americans...

the same way a non-yoruba woman whose culture and experience are yoruba, who becomes a senator in Lagos will rather give empowerment to people of her ethnicity is the same h:arris will rather empower more indians than black americans, africans, jamaicans e.t.c..

a child born and raised in US to 9ja parents will end up giving empowerment to fellow Nigerians and not black americans..

So why was Obama (actually the right person you can argue was not fully BA) not busy empowering Kenyans. How about all these children born and raised in diaspora.
Even whites came from elsewhere. How many of them do u see empowering their home country.
Also the only child born to both Kamala and her sister is married to an Igbo boy. So much for India! U can say they are now Igbo, but they are not - they are black Americans.

Ask yourself this question...
Why are the Republicans winning more states in the House of representatives? grin grin
The constitution will push the election to the house of representatives!
Are you aware that Nancy Pelosi wrote a letter to the HoR tasking them on the need for them to win the majority of the States? You know why?
The answer is the constitution!
Are you aware that Hillary publicly told Biden not to concede if he loses? You know why?
The answer is the same constitution.
What do you Nigerians know, you just follow the news upandan.
Let me not delve in deeper!
By now you ought to have known why Trump keep saying.... "We Will Win!!"
Last night he even tweeted, he won the election because he knows what is going to play out through the constitution.


your mentor, savior and lord just accepted via twitter
more republicans are accepting
but you...all the way in Nigeria, thinks otherwise...ok now

It’s funny how someone who’s never lived in America or schooled here will teach me about race issues.
Lol dude your funny. Last time I checked the african American population at Yale was less than 5%. You claim affirmative action but how does that help? African Americans have been able to compete against their white counter parts and always lost even with similar marks. But again you don’t live here so you have no idea what actually goes on here. Nigerians need to learn to stay out of things that don’t concern them. You watch movies and think you know us


thebosstrevor1:


If you don't have a victim mentality, you wont claim black people have to work harder to prove a point.

Only people with victim mentality blame white people fir their problems.

Black people get affirmative action to get into yale and other ivy league schools ,nothing special. Where they lower the standards for them to be admitted.

And the lawsuit you mentioned wasn't about black ans white but against discrimination against Asians who were put in high standards for them to be admitted to yale.

Yale violated civil rights law by using race as a “determinative factor” in its admissions process, alleging it disadvantaged Asian American and white applicants.


All persons who apply for admission to colleges and universities should expect and know that they will be judged by their character, talents, and achievements and not the color of their skin.

If thesw rule is applied many black people wont be stepping foot in yale.
