peacein9ja: What great minds we have in Nigeria. I am so proud and humbled to be part of this debate of like minds.
Fact:
The white people as we know them, ARE the smartest, and the most capable of all people and, The white supremacists(racists) are the smartest, and the most capable of all the white people.

The white people who practice racism know that they could if they wanted to, can produce justice and correctness among the people of the world. They are smart enough to do this. They also know, however, that in the process of producing justice and correctness, they would also eliminate white supremacy. Knowing this they have chosen not to produce justice and correctness. They prefer to continue to practice white supremacy, though they understand that in order to practice white supremacy they must promote lies, wars, poverty etc . They value white supremacy over peace. They are very skilled at deceit they only do this to be proud of themselves that people fear them and that non-white people are always dependent on them

One day they will have to become wise instead of being happy with just being smart.

We must wake up and understand that when non-white's abuse each other as I see on Nairaland we are promoting white supremacy.

Your job on this planet as non-white people is to find truth, and to use truth to produce justice, and correctness at all times, in all places, in all areas of our lives.
If not your life means nothing on this earth!
Huh! I wanted to say what the f**k! This is another comment that left me wondering why blacks keep facing things which will not bring any meaningful contribution to humanity on the table. Get organized first before fretting about white supremacists, my friend.

Horus: Please realise that Christianity still to this day has been rearranged with a white Jesus to make sure that other races see and believe the Caucasian white race is a superior race. They have sabotaged black history within the bible and made it their history thus making other races follow them as a race closer to god. African people need to wake up. Since you are the black African woolly haired man and the original man to evolve from the planet earth you become the manifestation of nature in flesh. When we give out our prayers (etheric mental energy) these forces go to the image in your mind, the white Jesus then channel through to the white male who is the physical manifestation of that image. The Caucasian feed off your mental strength regardless if they are agreeable or disagreeable. With all mental energy from all races channelled through the white Jesus the Caucasian race gain a god complex leading to intentional or unintentional white supremacy.

Thank you for your answer this is correct
Religion is the sum total of everything that a person thinks, says and does.

White Supremacists have chosen non-white people to worship them for being "white" and supreme.They have attempted to make God and White Supremacy one and the same. They have done all this to glorify themselves.

In a materialistic world dominated by White Supremacists all non-white people are Victims of Racism regardless of the "religion" they say they practice, or attempt to practice.

White Supremacy is a "religion". It is extremely powerful and exclusive "religion".
White people sometimes pretend to be a "Christian", a "Jew" a "Buddhist" etc., while actually practicing the religion of White Supremacy(Racism)

It is dangerous as our forefathers learned for any non-white person to think that especially those that use effective methods such as religious titles are working for the benfit of the up-liftment of non-white people.

Just so you know:
White Supremacists are people who classify themselves as "white" and who generally function as "white" and who practice racial subjugation(based on "white"-"Non-White" classifications_ against people classified (by white people) as "Non- White" at any time in any place in any one.

When you move to the western world they ask you almost anytime you fill out a form or application for school, banking system, even to turn on your gas and light what is your race.

White people are people who classify themselves as "white" and have been classified as "white" accepted as "White" by other people and who generally function as "White" and who generally function as "white" in our system.

Non White people are people who have been classified as "non" White, and/or who generally function as "Non-White" in their relationship with each other, and with people classified as "White".

White Supremacists control all the activities in this known world.
1. Economics 2. Education 3. Entertainment 4. Labor 5. Law 6. Politics 7. Religion 8. Sex. 9. War

Please brother enlighten me on any Non-White country that has full control over all those activities for the people they Govern.

Thank you for this question my friend.

Two basic problems:
1. Lack of knowledge and understanding of the reasons for us existing on this earth.
2. Racism

Every "problem among the non-white people is traced to:
A lack of knowledge and understanding of the reason for existence and/ or non-existence, compounded by and promoted by the practice of racism in the form of White Supremacy.

Five Major Political Isms in the Thought, Speech, an Action of ALL People in the World.

Racism= One or more white persons using deciet, direct violence, and or the threat of violence to promote falsehood, non-justice, and or incorrectness, against non-white people on the basis of color in order to satisfy white people, in one of the 9 activities I mentioned.

Tribal-ism= Any three and or sometimes more than three people thinking, speaking and or acting to satisfy each other with little or no concerns for others in one of the 9 areas.

Me-ism= Anyone person thinking speaking and or acting to satisfy him or herself with little or no concern for others in one or more of the 9 activities mentioned.

Two-ism= Any two people thinking speaking and or acting to satisfy each other with little or no concern for others.

Universal-ism= Any one or more persons, thinking speaking and or acting to promote the revelation of truth an using the truth in such a manneras to promote justice and correctness, at all times in all places, in all areas of economics, education, etc.

Since the establishment of White Supremacy (racism) among the people of the known world, the terms "upper class" "middle class" and "lower class" have confused people.

All white people who practice "White Supremacy" (Not all white people do)are in the
Powerful Class
White persons who do not practice White Supremacy are also in the "Powerless Class"

Peace is the result of the revelation of truth, and the use of truth, in a manner that produces justice and correctness.

Truth is that which is.
Justice is balance between people.
Correctness is balance between people, and all things.

When all people speak and or act to use truth, in a manner that produces justice and correctness at all times, in all places in all areas of activities in the 9 areas mentioned.

Most people in African countries and other non-white areas have one major goal! To survive by all means necessary. But we must stop certain things to progress.
Stop Name Calling (Stupid Idiot etc)
Stop being discourteous
Stop Stealing
Stop Gossiping
Stop Robbing
Stop Killing
Stop Fighting
Stop Cursing (Like God will punish you or swearing)
Stop Squabbling Among Yourselves
In order to help us excel and eliminate Racism and to produce justice, all Victims of Racism should, in all of their relationships with each other think, speak and act in support of the following three word suggestion:

"Minimize the Conflict"

4 types of power.

All Power-Power exercised by the "known and unknown" (God, the Creator, energy like the Sun)

Superior Power/or White Supremacy-Power exercised over non-white people in all things at all times.

Inferior Power- The lack of will, and or lack of ability of non-white people to do anything
of comparative significance without the direct or indirect force, approval and or voluntary support of White Supremacists and or White People.

Immediate Power= The power that person has, as an individual, that enables him or her to act immediately and effectively without the consent of other persons. This is the power that most peopleas individual persons have, that can employ immediately,. The power consists of:
The will, plus the means of causing the death of persons animals, insects, etc.

Olodostein:



Best comments so far.

We should also note that African, Asians and Native Americans had their great civilizations when caucasians were still living in caves.

If we as black Africans wants to move forward in this modern world, we need to embrace and develop our own philosophies to life; abandon extreeme materialism and make education: both formal and informal, part of our nature.

If i may add, the Jews have made great contributions to western civilization than most people have observed and they don't consider themselves "white". A lot of inventions and fortune 500 companies were started and still headed by them including your beloved google, facebook, raph lauren , tommy hilfiger, star bucks, major big banks and many others. Jews are also majority of Nobel laurate winners. They control 60% of US senate and a lot of them in the House of Rep. Karl max and many great philosophers that theorized our world and political discourse, many were jewish. Soviet union were arranged and controlled by them.

So stop giving the white man more due than he deserves. But i must admit caucasians make hardworking blue collar workers.

It is very easy to differentiate between caucasians and jews; their big nose, kinky hair and their brown skin is very telling. LOL.

Bros, to us in africa or nigeria, an isreali is also an oyinbo same as a russian and even a chinco for that matter. If an indian self show for naija na still oyinbo we go call am.

Point is, the "white man" in reference in nigeria isn't just caucasian but anyone who isn't a black man of africa.

White people no matter where they are are always better organised, even arabs! Take SA for instance, the africaans are better than the black ppl there same for zimbabwr before mugabe kicked them out and ruined the place.

Now look at haiti, an island very close to NY city, just a little off the coast of USA, is as bad as any black nation can get.

The darker the skin the worse the people. Indians are neither white nor black and they are also neither advance nor backward.

It is the Caucasian’s secret societies and higher entities behind them that are enhancing the negative forces on the planet earth. Many Caucasians on the ground level do not know that they are being used; actually being brainwashed to play the role of that negative force and through racism, sexual perversion, war etc. Caucasians challenge the belief systems of other races and implement their view of reality not knowing that it was universal nature and higher forces that established their own existence through Africans. They now disrespect the forces of nature itself. The individuals behind all this and higher negative forces have an ultimate goal to totally control the planet and everything on it. This does not mean be racist to Caucasians, not at all as that will make you as bad as them, but understand who they really are and don’t reject your history and culture to satisfy another races desire to manipulate you.

all4naija: I would call these claims utter nonsense! These are among the typical reasons African keep fooling around with supernatural beliefs.

@ ROSSIKK

With all your baseless history lessons and without single evidence to prove those being referred to in your comments are black proves your stand on this matter to be fallacious. And, this your very stand is arguably the one to make you feel good about your color while at the end you have nothing to offer to counter what you have been passing around with egoistic intention in this particular thread.

The truth is that if blacks really mastered these acts you listed in the past it would be clear they would still have evidences to prove beyond reason doubt they have once ancestors who were scientists and men with great knowledge who have change the course of history yet, there is none in these your comments to prove that than keep praising things your barely can defend. Egypt, and all North Africa have been home to largely the color of people you see there today. The people haven't change that much, my friend.

You keep pointing to Egypt whereas we know blacks were not so much into Egypt you use as your evidence as in other sub-Saharan Africa. Mind you, the origin of man from Africa is from East Africa, where the oldest hominid has been found not in Egypt or North Africa you keep using as examples. The truth is that that region has had encounter with Europe and other parts why the so over-exaggerated black people where still living unclad in the bush. Even at 5 centuries back many African blacks still don't have anything to do with civilization you so brag about in your comment.Before white people advent in Africa there has been ritual killings and other backward practices(it happens as well in Europe) and they have to educate many on these evil of these barbaric practices. The civilization that put Africa on the map in this regard is Egypt and it was once a nation of the people we see there today. The Arabs are another example of these set of people who skin color has been changed over time due to the hot nature of that region which is largely a desert area.

You don't have anything interesting to tell me than keep believing in things your do not have evidence to prove as affirmative. The Southern African ancient urban life you posted a link of has no evidences to show us how that civilization thrive with progress. You have to convince me beyond mere link without any positive information to posit it is actually a civilization that pre-dated others around the world.Now, without looking to far. What is actually the story behind it? It could be the Indians settlement, it could be a community of foreign invaders, just to mention but a few. If not there should be evidence to prove this South African urban civilization past with traces to this present time, when we know that the people of that region culture is still very primitive till this day and can barely cover-up their body in animal fur.

Please, stop peddling false information around. It is clear some of the old writings that black Africans can attest to are even written in Arabic before any other of the indigenous languages, which take a dimension from what they have learnt from it. Ethiopia writing is a case similar to the Jewish scripting because of close encounter with that Israel or middle -eastern region.

Indeed, your claims are just mere sentiments without thorough views on how much these bear some factual information. We have seen many case of false claims like these ones in the past and present generation of Africans. Even some parts of Igbo people claim they are Jews and it is something they cannot prove with facts. There is this allusion that when it is about Africa it is all about black skin color. However, we have seen that North Africa that has been used as an example in your argument is not as black as you claim, like the sub-Saharan African(excluding patches of white colonialists still living in many parts).

If you want to go about my personality you are welcome to do so. Yes, I am black and I few like a modern man. There is nothing that can make me feel inferior about myself by telling the truth. That I know the world has gone beyond merely dwelling in past while you keep dream about when you were king and queen folding hands doing nothing to contribute anything meaningful to move humanity forward.

This your comments are some of the reason black people cannot organized themselves, for the simple reason of misguided information and lackadaisical approaches to life.

Yes they are because they are Europeans and Americans that decided to create a homeland for themselves between 1882- 1902- 35,000 Jews moved to Palestine.The White Paper of 1939, stated that with over 450,000 Jews having now arrived in Palestine, the Balfour Declaration aim of "a national home for the Jewish people" had been achieved.[63] The White Paper recommended an independent Palestine, governed jointly by Arabs and Jews, be established within 10 years. The White Paper agreed to allow 75,000 Jewish immigrants(White People) into Palestine over the period 1940–44, after which migration would require Arab approval. Both the Arab and Jewish leadership rejected the White Paper. In March 1940 the British High Commissioner for Palestine issued an edict banning Jews from purchasing land in 95% of Palestine. In 1948 Golda Meir from sympathizers in the United States, and Stalin's decision to support the Zionist cause was able to create Israel.And start kicking out non-whites (Arabs)

Actually you're the one who has no idea what the hell he's talking about.




''Sub Saharan African tribes'' 2000 years ago were little more than bands of tiny, isolated settlements. The real action in Africa took place in the Nile Valley and East Africa. West Africa was the last place to be heavily populated in Africa. Most influx into West Africa was caused relatively recently by migrations of peoples from the Nile Valley and East Africa following foreign invasions and desertification of the once fertile Sahara. So it is senseless juxaposing 'sub Saharan tribes' of that era with Rome. As daft as comparing the wild northern European plains with Rome. Read The Destruction of Black Civilization by Chancellor Williams. You'll gain great insight into the great African migrations of antiquity, as well as the general history of the continent.




Many African ethnic groups have traditions of migration from the Nile Valley in antiquity, including West African groups. Much research has been done on this confirming the hypothesis. Read the works of Cheikh Anta Diop and Olumide Lucas. You'll learn a lot.



Hot air. Life for the average European was nasty, brutish and short before the Industrial revolution. Malnutrition was rife. Agriculture was primitive and the majority were land based peasants who lived in small villages. Transport was by horse (if afforded), and most people died in their mid thirties. What ''advanced contributions to human endeavour'' are you talking about? If anything, Europe's rennaissance was led by black African and Arab moors who dragged them out of the dark ages, ruled, and brought learning to them from the 8th through to the 14th centuries. Do you realize they were black and mulatto ruling families in Europe in those times from whom even their present aristocracy are descended?

http://www.slideshare.net/mmcdonald2/the-uk-before-the-industrial-revolution




Before the industrial revolution, Europeans did not regard Africans as inferior to them. Trade was pursued. Benin had an embassy staffed with its people in Portugal in the 14th century. European racism (ie racial arrogance) developed as a result of the greater wealth generated in the west vis a vis the rest of the world following the industrial revolution in the 1780s.



You need to educate yourself a lot more before posting. The creator of the term, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach said in his own words: ''I have taken the name of this variety [of people] from Mount Caucasus''

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race
You've been reading too many "black power" propaganda literature, my friend. Most of what you've just posted wouldn't stand up to serious scholarly scrutiny. Can you name any of these blacks that led the European renaissance as you claim.

And my point about the caucasus is that Europeans don't share a common history of being primitive cave dwellers that originated from the caucasus which was what you claimed in an earlier post. When Europeans call their Newtons and Shakespeares and Galileos and Michelangelos and Beethovens, can you list these great black revolutionaries of the Renaissance that civilized Europe? Stop reading all those black/African propaganda sites that distort history to mitigate their inferiority complex issues.

I wonder whose ''scholarly approval'' you are awaiting. Surely not the same people you've placed on a pedestal? I bet you cannot name a SINGLE book or research work on African history. Have you even HEARD of Martin Bernal, Basil Davidson, Chancellor Williams, Cheikh Anta Diop? Ivan Van Sertima? Olumide Lucas? These are all established scholars who have researched and published extensive works on African history and will school you for free on that history of which you are completely and abjectly ignorant.

Majority of the references, sources. and authors, ancient and modern, attesting to the above are white Europeans. So to assert that they derive from ''black power propaganda'' books shows you up as a complete illiterate where it concerns African history.

Entire black GOVERNMENTS and RULING FAMILIES ruled in Europe, and you're picking out single names like Galileo? That's like calling Soyinka when asked who built Nigeria, instead of GEJ, OBJ, Gowon etc.



''Many years ago there was an African Roman Emperor, Septimius Severus, who ruled large parts of Europe, the Middle East and parts of Africa. When he came to Hadrians Wall in 208AD, there were black soldiers already stationed there, they had travelled right across the Empire.''

The original “knights” of England were black. They were called “knights” after the night or darkness of their skin.

An African king named Gormund ruled Ireland during the Anglo-Saxon period in England reports the medieval historian Geoffrey of Monmouth.

Halfdan the Black was the first Africoid king to unite Norway.

The Huns: The Gothic writer Jordannes described their infamous leader, Attila the Hun as having “a flat nose and swarthy complexion.” He describes the types of Huns he had seen as “of dark complexion, almost black... broad shoulder, flat noses and small eyres.”

Lusius Quietus was one of Rome's greatest generals and was named by Roman Emperor Trajan (98-117 C.E.) as his successor. Quietus is described as a "man of Moorish race and considered the ablest soldier in the Roman army."

Moorish Kings Of Europe



THE MARQUESSES OF DROGHEDA WERE THE PENULTIMATE LANDOWNERS IN COUNTY KILDARE WITH 16,609 ACRES

From two brothers, SIR EDWARD and SIR THOMAS MOORE, knights (descendants of the Moores of Moore Place, Kent), who went over to Ireland, in the reign of ELIZABETH I, sprang the house of Drogheda and the extinct house of Charleville and Tullamore.

SIR EDWARD MOORE, the elder brother, obtained, for his services, from the Queen, a lease of the dissolved abbey of Mellefont, with its appurtenances, County Louth, which he made the principal place of his abode; and so it continued that of his descendants until their removal to Moore Abbey, County Kildare, the seat of the Viscounts Loftus of Ely, which devolved upon the Earl of Drogheda.

Sir Edward's surviving son Garret was created 1st Viscount Moore.

The 1st and 3rd Marquesses of Drogheda were Knights of St Patrick (KP). The 11th Earl was a Knight of the Garter. It is notable that the crest of the Moore family is a Moor's head.

More Moorish Images From Renaissance Europe

[img]http://www.codart.nl/images/NLAmsterdamRijksmuseumMostaertAfrikaanseMan.jpg[/img]
Jan Mostaert, Portrait of an African man, ca. 1520-30

An independent portrait of a black African, appearing so early in the 16th century, is absolutely unique. Black kings were regularly depicted in the 15th and 16th centuries in representations of The adoration of the Magi, but portrayals of Moorish kings in such paintings were generally very stereotypical.

http://www.codart.nl/news/78/





Excerpts:

J.C. DeGraft-Johnson adds the following: "It was because the conquering army in Spain was largely made up of Africans from Morocco that we hear such praises such phrases as "the Moorish invasion of Spain," and why Shakespeare's hero Othello is a Moor, and why the word "blackamoor" exists in the English Language, a word which leaves no doubt as to the color of the army of occupation in spain and Portugal."

English historian Basil Davidson, one of the most noted historians, recognized and declared that there were no lands at that time (the eighth century) "more admired by its neighbors, or more comfortable to live in, than a rich African civilization which took shape in Spain. the color of the conquering armies that came with Tarikh were described vividly by a European scholar who sympathized with Christian Spain: ''...the reins of their (Moors) horses were as fire, their faces black as pitch, their eyes shone like burning candles, their horses were swift as leopards and the riders fiercer than a wolf in the sheepfold at night ...''

The noble Goths were broken in an hour, quicker than tongue can tell. Oh, luckless Spain." The same degree of intellect and learning was brought by the Moorish conquerers of the Iberian Peninsula to Portugal. Like spain, that country was to be culturally influenced by the Moors. Its association with Africa dates as far back as the fourth, and fifth centuries when Africans arrived in southern Europe. But it was in 711 A.D. that they marched in as conquerors under the command of Tarikh.

To reinforce what has been said earlier these Moors, as the early writers chronicled, were ''a black or dark people, some being very black. After the invasion of 711 came waves of Moors even darker. It was this occupation of Portugal which accounts for the fact that even noble families had absorbed the blood of the Moors.''

Racial mixing under the Moors in Europe became widespread. The Moors ruled and occupied Lisbon and the rest of the country until well into the twelfth century. They were finally defeated and driven out by the forces of King Alfonso Henriques, who was aided by the English and Flemish Crusaders. The scene of this battle was the Castelo de Sao Jorge or, in English, The Castle of St. George.

Today, it still stands, overlooking the city of "Lashbuna" - as the Moors named Lisbon. From that time onwards, racial mixing in Portugal, as in Spain, and elsewhere in Europe which came under the influence of the Moors, took place on a large scale. That is why historians claim that "Portugal" is in reality a Negroid land, and that when Napoleon explained that "Africa begins in Pyrenees," he meant every word that he uttered.

Culled:

Over 50,000 years ago, Africans spread out to Europe. There are remains onf Africans in the Paleolithic layer of the
Earth. Whites came into Europe only in 1,200BC.

The Franks and Celts were Black people. White fantasy images were created only in the post Renaissance era
to justify the notion that Black People were not to be found outside Africa


Maurice, Duke of Saxony 1541-1553, elector from 1547




The word "K night" originated from the word "night", because Knights of Medieval Europe were as black as night.

Notice his hair and facial features are obviously that of a Black Man. In coins
only the ruler wears the crown.

White Europeans always claim that Black People in Europe were captured as slaves from Africa. This 14th century painting shows different, with black nobles and ordinary folk mixing with the local population:

In the middle ages, Europe's ruling families had Family Crests and Emblems, whose progenitors' heads were depicted therein.

'There should be no doubt to anyone, that these Family Crests represent old Britain's Black Elite, it's most noble, wealthy and powerful families. Peasants and commoners did not have family Crests and Coats of Arms. Though there is disagreement as to which came first - the Crest or the Arms, but it seems likely that the crest came first, as a family or Clan ensign.'

Nothing interesting. Look at the 14th century Lisbon dwarfing our 21st century Abuja. What a shame.
