So, because there are scammers from some African countries, all black people all over the world should be victims of that stereotype? Are we applying that same standard to the tens of thousand of Indian scammer stealing billions of dollars from the West? Why aren't people painting every Indian and their diaspora with that brush? Or do you guys just like to reach deep into your asses to support other people's racism against you?[/quote]

You are wrong, you little air head.
You're just a dysfunctional monster if you think there's systemic racism remaining in the West, the only racism left in the West is just stereotypes - blacks are thieves and robbers and drug dealers, I won't blame someone who has never done business with a black person to refuse a business dealing because someone is black - he/she may just be ignorant but with the news of blacks and their inappropriate cultures - gang dealings plus the destruction and raping of white and Asian businesses happening in Chicago, I won't be surprised if he/she will be being stereotypical

Do you expect the contrary when they are far more than us numerically? I have seen a lot of top executives who are blacks. This mentality is a reason why blacks don't want to take strides in high places.

Indians face much more discrimination but still they are going ahead to take over political leaderships in the developed countries of Europe and America.
Thanks for this, a lot of my Indian friends face more racism in a day than I did in the US, fam.

Yea, I am wasting my time with this ignoramus. Using the government to keep black people from attaining specific privileges and political representation is not part of systemic racism? I was right, you are an idiot. I would pull up definitions for you, but you would be too stupid to understand those as well.

How about you shut up and let the African-Americans who have been at this fight for centuries continue their work. You clowns show up and think you know left from right. Shut up, sit down and make your little dollars with the privileges that African-Americans died for. Bye!

You're wrong. Systemic racism is institutionalized or structural racism. Preventing black people from having fair representation by diluting their voting block is systemic racism. That was one of the problems the Voting Rights act was created to remedy. I don't think you quite understand the term or the issues referenced by it..

And I am trying to push into the vacant skull of some of you clowns that some people are just racist. They are not some victims of the media brainwashing. Some full grown adults have made the choice to be racist. You do not need to dig into the crevices of your asses to find them an excuse. Japan is a place that even white folks sometimes talk about the racism they've experience. Must be the TV's fault, or the water. Blah blah

There is no racism abroad when compared to the level of hatred that exist in Nigeria among ethnic groups as being exhibited in offices, roads, markets, parks, schools, churches, mosques, politics and government, etc.

Nothing like racism for me. We call ourselves "nigger", "blacks", "Africans" etc but when a white refers us as that we term it racism.

Another one was some top banks in Malaysia refused to open a salary account for me telling me that they blacklisted Nigerians.

just dont believe anybody who tells racism is not a life threating ordeal.
Dont take lightly cause your career, and very life depend on it
YouTube search for experience of black Americans and west Indians with racism, dont listen to the experience of ass licking sell-out materialistic Nigerians. Cause if you listen to Nigerians you will not get a sense of how dangerous racism is to every aspect of your life.

And usually the European cults and individuals that are hardcore racists are usually also witches and satanic sects.
Examples the Nazis of old and thier moderns day Neo Nazi cults are deeply into witchcraft and Satanism.


So, what do you say about the tribalism in Nigeria and xenophobia in most parts of black Africa? If to say the discrimination we have in Africa is accompanied with wealth, one would have looked away. But no, poor people are discriminating against themselves. Does that make sense to you?

With respect to the bolded, you mean that everyone who had experience racism was because of something wrong they have done.
Here we go with blaming the victim

I want to assume you are a Congolese; you won't understand what some Nigerians have experienced regarding tribalism, which is why they don't view racism with much seriousness, considering the economic opportunities available. In my opinion, tribalism is worse because we share the same skin colour. Houses have been razed in Northern Nigeria by people of the same skin colour. People's businesses have been burnt because they are of a different ethnic group, even though they have the same skin colour. A man from Plateau is likely to live longer in South Korea than his native state as Fulani herdsmen (black people) would love to kill him. Meanwhile, the average South Korean is not bothered.

Earlier this year, Igbos were flogged because they went to vote. Some Yorubas who "looked" like Igbos were also flogged by their kith, and someone wants to tell me that racism is worse?

As much as I despise racism, some of the rednecks may have a little justification for racism and if I may play the devil's advocate for a bit. Their country is developed, they've managed to build a working system through sheer hard work over the years and some of them have never had contact with blacks before. Also, there are some places where blacks are always in the news for the wrong reason all the time.

What exactly is the reason behind tribalism? All the tribes in Nigeria are equally backward with very little to show the last time I checked and we are the same fvucking black skin.

Why exactly does one backward tribe think they are better than the other backward tribe? it's the same shit in different toilets.

I apologize for my frankness.

THANK YOU!

I would never take the rants of so whiners of racism to be serious. Never!

A lot of self-hating black people here. Inferiority complex to the power max. Excusing the racism that is meted out to them.
And a lot of denial of racism. "If e no happen to me, e no dey happen anywhere" is absolutely idiotic of an opinion.

It is not self-hating but an assessment of the whole issue. If I were in Lagos in February, I would have been flogged. Even non-Igbos were flogged. More than 500 farmers in Plateau were butchered by people who looked like them. If those 500 farmers were in South Korea, would they have been butchered?

Blacks have no moral right to complain about racism, especially as no black-dominated country (population above 5 million) is prosperous.

See Obiano walking his dog comfortably in the US without an iota of shame.
Why couldn't he build a covered drainage in Anambara during his 8year rule so others could walk their dogs or kids ride their bikes.

Why allow IPOB and UGM to become a monster under his watch so much that others cannot walk their dogs safely on the street. That is one example of a black man with black mentality.

35years ago, the Chinese were heavily racially profiled but see what they have managed to acheived within a short span of time.

Out of every 5 blacks on the earth, 1 is a Nigerian. That is the ratio of Nigeria to the black world population. If Nigeria could get her shits together, respects for blacks would skyrocket worldwide and racism will reduce.

The energy we put into religion and tribalism, we could use same energy to develop Nigeria and elect credible leaders.

As for the Chinese, they have suffered a lot. They were denied naturalisation status in the US based on their nationality. World powers then humiliated and punished the Chinese. China was divided across many parts by these World Powers. Japanese soldiers raped Chinese women and seized Taiwan. British colonial masters fed the Chinese with drugs and seized Hong Kong. Portuguese sailors seized Macau.

Today, as a result of their wealth, no one dares discriminate against the Chinese. When one says this to black people, one sees them ranting about capitalism, whereas that is the only economic system that has pulled more people out of poverty.

Those are white dominated countries. Why do you want them not to dominate the executive positions? How many whites dominate executive positions in black dominated countries? Why should the majority not dominate their country? You people want to reap where you don't sow. Whites built their countries. Go and build yours and impose your rules.

An Ethiopian will prefer to patronize their fellow citizens and pay a higher price than to patronize other nationals.

I know a lot of Anambara women who will never allow their child to marry Imo or Ebonyi person.

I see lots of Igbos look down on Ebonyi people and the list goes on.

That is why it was easy for the whites to colonize us since we were always fighting, bickering, and hating among ourselves for no reason. The president appointed 90% of positions from his tribe, An Igbo president will do the same as a Hausa or Fulani.

we spend all our energies in churches and mosques and still beg for money from China, an atheistic country, No be winch be that.

In my personal life, If I do the same thing for 3 years and it is not working, I try to learn and do things differently in other to have a different outcome. The advantage of failing is you now know what not to repeat.

This is 2023 and Nigeria is not doing anything differently. We are still doubling down on the same things we have done the past 20 years which has yielded zero results.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and hoping for a different outcome. To be frank, I gave up on Nigeria in 2010 and what is happening now has been in line with my predictions.

We are exporting church branches and all the members are busy remitting dollars as tithes and offerings. Because of the level of brainwashing going on in our churches in Nigeria, I have stopped attending any church service. I won't be brainwashed by my fellow man.

The average black Nigerian individual's brain is 60% religion, 30% tribalism and the rest is available for productive uses.
Very soon, Benin, Togo, and Ghana will pull out of Ecowas and start demanding visas from Nigeria.
