So much people-worshipping bullsh1t on this page. Are white people Gods? no! They have several problems as a "group of people" as does every group worldwide. Black people have the problem of being passive cucks worldwide that are more than happy to be enslaved by everyone else except themselves Look at India, Libya, United States, Euro countries, etc. But when it comes to ourselves, we are more than happy to hurt one another based on different ethnic groups and religions.

If many of you were actually educated about past and present then you would know that you are f00ls for thinking that white people are superior to you. They simply are not. Anyone that believes they are is a f00l beyond fools. Just do research and educate yourselves. Stop acting like a bunch of slaves.

I honestly don't know how the Jews do it. They are like 2% of the American population but comprise 48% of American billionaires. Hated and persecuted for 1000's of years but always on top. Always in control. Always 100 steps ahead. Exceedingly cunning and slimy (ha!), but also amazingly smart. Running everything in entertainment, finance, media, politics, business/corporations, economies. Winning all numerous Nobel prizes in hard sciences and arts. SMH I would not even mind it one bit if black people were hated but were running things. How to even start to usurp the world in our favor when we find it hard to even clean house? We have a long way to go sha.



Nigerians will tell you that its god that favors jews

Many black people who have lived in the western world know how pathetic many Oyinbos actually are. They go out of their way to portray themselves as superior (history, TV shows, movies, documentaries etc) to conceal their fragile self-esteem. The truth is the large majority couldn't stand to live in a world where they don't get to oppress and look down on black people. To think highly of them and seek their approval is a slap in the face of your ancestors.

You're deluding yourself wih these distorted tales, bro. The fact remains that the famous, huge, 60,000-seater, concrete Coliseum in Rome was constructed about 2,000 years ago at a time when sub-Saharan African tribes could barely erect a mud hut with thatched straw roofs. And why does every black man on the planet, from African Americans to South Africans like to claim the ancient glory of Egypt as their own? Perhaps, the Sudanese and their immediate neighbours may have once roamed North Africa in greater numbers and dominated (even that is contestable history) Egypt and other Nubian territories at the time but certainly the majority of the West African ethnicities right down to the Bantu tribes and Southern Africa have no claim to that glory. Before the industrial revolution you talk of, Europe was already by far the most advanced civilization on the planet and their measurable, attributable contributions across all fields of human endeavour were already unmatched. Europe subdued and colonized Africa with minimum fuss because in just about every ramification of human advancement, they were superior to us as a collective. Much superior to the extent they saw us as sub-humans. These are painful to rehash but the truth is often bitter. These are people that even fled their European homeland and created a new heaven wherever they went: America, Canada, South America, Australia, South Africa etc while indigenous populations in those places were stagnant. These are people who have even conquered space.

Note that I firmly believe every human being is an individual and great variations in intellect exist among individuals within the same races. But as a collective, it's hard to look around you at the marvels of the modern world and not admit the caucasian has contributed so much more intellectual capital to it than the black man. We can offer every excuse under the sun but the white race is superior as a collective to the black race. It's not inferiority complex to admit that. It's just conceding plain, evident fact of which there are a million reasons to justify the fact.

And for your info, the fact they are called "caucasians" has nothing to do with living in caves in the caucasus at any time in history. Afterall, if you're a believer in evolution, you should know Africa is the origin of the entire human race.


U have made sense brother.

It seems like the whole process of blacks having their own countries is an aberration , .

That should explain why every single black country is an eyesore

Its interesting bro, if everything he has posted here isn't true, I believe many of them are.


Bro, if you see some 12th century castles in europe, you'll cry for black man. While we were living in mud huts these people were already laying cross country rail tracks, something we're still battling with in 2013. Shame bro shame.

And it's China building the rail tracks for Nigeria the Nigerians aren't even doing it themselves!

This is why Africa can't move forward

Africans believing that some haggard white folks are superior to glorious black individuals

I blame foreign religions as the the biggest factor responsible for this

There's nothing glorious about black Africa - even up till today, it's China et al that are building Africa

It's difficult to reply many of the posts from the likes of Rossik. While there's plenty of true facts, there are also plenty of distorted tales and spurious facts with tenuous evidence. What all these still doesn't explain is how the black race below the Sahara still wallow in such poverty while clinging on desperately to relics of Egyptian history as validation for long bygone greatness of the black race: a very disputable, foggy Egyptian history. All the while, the Caucasian colonizes every continent he steps foot on taking prosperity and order and structure with him everywhere: be it Australia, South America, North America, South Africa etc. The black man undergoes the reverse: be it in Africa or in Haiti or in Guinea-Bissau. It's the same old tale of poverty and chaotic rule. Rossik is implying the southward drift of the black man from the glory of Egypt ruined him. A half-baked theory if I ever read one.

I re-iterate. The white race is collectively superior to the black race. It is a bitter truth to hear but it is easily demonstrable, incontrovertible truth. It kills me to admit myself, but the facts are plain.

The black man is aso the most EGOTISTICAL. Seems blacks are spiritually cursed..... the progenitor of the black race is Ham and a curse was pronounced in Genesis 9 upon his son Canaan. Though the curse was pronounced on Canaan the anger was directed at Ham. Folks the black race (Hams children) are spiritually cursed.

In genesis the black race wad cursed to be "servants of servants" to all other races.

Today blacks are truly servants of servants to al other races just as the Bible said.

Yeah it’s ridiculous. The therapeutic history that blacks tell themselves allover the world. Black success is largely a myth. It’s not to say that there aren’t successful and highly talented black people out there. But Black Civilisations are all failures. It’s hilarious whenever I hear blacks talk about “Black Success” But they speak all of this in the language of the white man. Whites are obviously not superior. But their culture is different. There is a reason why European and Asian civilisations are the strongest, most advanced and developed in the world. It’s their work ethic, culture, history and so on.

Black success is not a myth. It's real. Europe is poor and was poor and met rich kingdoms in Africa which is why the decided to invade.

I said it was largely a myth. Contemporary Europe that birthed modern civilisation, sits as one of the largest economies in the world is far from poor. Europeans wanted Africa for its resources. But there is a reason why they beat Africa easily. Africa was and still is no match for them. Europeans built America a country that has been the strongest nation this planet has ever seen. There are no successful black civilisations out there. Please do not have the victim mentality of other blacks. Africa is the way it is because of the people and government not just colonialism.

Contemporary europe did not birth modern civilization. Blacks hv been too critical of themselves. CCECC employs Nigerian engineers who did the actual work.

Europe did not birth any modern civilization. Don't swallow that lie. Unfortunately thatblie has spread for long and ir will take a lot of typing to convince you otherwise so no point.

The western Europeans are savages. If only you know them well.

Also such thought comes from relying on western media.

A point of fact is Nigerian culture is quite laid back which is very bad when European culture is more disciplined.

Black civilisation is very successful and it was what got the European savages envious.

What about Ethiopia and Liberia? They weren’t colonised by Europeans. The Ethiopians defeated the Italians. But look at where they are now. You can’t blame the white man forever.

Black civilisation was never successful. That’s why the European “savages” tore Africa to shreds.

Ethiopian civilization predates European civilization. Hv you ever been to Ethiopia to know its nor good? Ethiopia is a very successful country.

Now every country has a breakaway region. Nigeria is bakassi and Biafra. Canada is Quebec. United Kingdom is Northern Ireland. United States is Alaska.

Ethiopia is successful and there's nothung wrong with it. Also the best countries aren't popular.

Except they did, Europe and later Asia developed the modern world.
1. They started the Industrial Revolution.
2. They pioneered industries and even till today remain highly innovative
3. It’s not relying on western media. One thing I hate that Africans tend to do is anything that criticises Africa is pro-western. Look at East Asia, They are just as modern and sophisticated as the Western world. They too made significant contributions to civilisation.
You say that

Western Civilisations are more successful than Black civilisations because whites prioritise Science and Technology. Blacks prioritise Religion and Superstition. Africans just see their life as a product not to be tampered with. They don’t want change but rather to lnanguish in poverty, despair and pain. There is also a lack of critical thinking in Africa.

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong
You don’t have to go to a country to know if it’s successful. That’s what empirical data is there for. You dating that Ethiopia is successful without empirical evidence is a joke.

1. Ethiopia is not a successful country, it’s not a world power. Its quality of life is like other African nations. Ethiopia is not even at the standard of Ukraine.
Ethiopia HDI-0.597
Ukraine HDI- 0.77
Ukraine GDP per capita-$4,835
Ethiopia GDP per capita $925

There is a lot wrong with Ethiopia from poverty, crime, rampant corruption underdevelopment and so on. Face it, Africa doesn’t measure up to the rest of the world.

2. Do not compare the division in African countries to ones overseas. How can you compare Nigeria to USA or UK? UK is 300+ years old. US is almost 250 years old. Nigeria is only 60 yet had a civil war, coups upon coups. No one asked for Nigeria. It’s an inorganic, artificially created state. It was just some white guy (Lugard) telling tribes to live together. It was a country no one fought for. At the time, Lugard didn’t even gain a public consensus before doing amalgamation. At least with America, There was a desire for the nation to be formed. They fought a bloody war with the Brits that led to them receiving their independence. The same with the UK. They were also born out of wars, conquest etc. those nations are far more organic. They are actual nations unlike Nigeria that is a fake nation. It’s a make believe country. The tribes have always hated eachother since day 1.

With the UK, Northern Ireland will eventually leave but they already have a mechanism in place that allows for that under the Good Friday Agreement. But it ain’t happening anytime soon

With the US, You must be absolutely mad to see any of those states as a breakaway region. Don’t you remember how the US civil war ended? We will be long dead before there is any genuine threat to the US’s union. That ain’t happening in this century. It will take AT least another 100 years for something like that to happen.

Canada and Quebec situation was solved long ago, Quebec is still Canada but with much more autonomy.

But with Nigeria, There’s no way in hell that country is existing in 20 years. The people have had enough.

There is little critical thinking in Africa. We are talking about a continent with more mosques and churches than schools, hospitals, universities and so on. Africans are some of the most irrational people you will ever meet.

I agree with Western promotion being a thing. They like to promote themselves as superior. But they clearly did create modern civilisation and this goes all the way back to Ancient Greece and Rome which in many ways are more sophisticated than Africa today.
You’re using a western device, western made things and even speaking a western language to communicate with me right now😂😂

I used to think like you but now I know better. It was after I understood somethings that I got to know the truth.

Science and technology including mobile phones and computers were not invented by Europeans as they hv lied to you. Instead they were invented by a global body of researchers including Indians, Argentines, Brazilians, Nigerians, Egyptians, Iranians, Chinese, Uzbekistan. It was a global effort. Electricity is normally attributed to Faraday and Einstein. But they merely claimed it. Electricity was found in Africa and in the middle east but during European conquests they claimed it for themselves.

European savages impose their language on local populations when they win a colonial invasion war.

"Modern civilization" - define it. Don't let the western savages brainwash you. Africa is just as modern as Europe

You have to give up this victim mentality
You can’t think of a western achievement as being a western brainwash.
Wrong again- Asia had contributions to civilisation but the West was even more so.
Just look at Ancient Greece and Rome who built and developed concepts like maths, science, democracy and so on.

It was a white American called Martin Cooper who invented a mobile phone.
It was Frank Canova that invented the first smartphone.
Internet was a global effort as UK, Canada, Australia etc were involved but it was largely the US Department of Defense.

It was neither Einstein or Faraday that discovered electricity but Benjamin Franklin.

Electricity was not found in Africa. This is mega coping at this point. Africa is as modern as Europe? Africa is not even as modern as Ancient Greece or Rome. Africa is centuries behind the rest of the world in modernity. Compare life expectancy, GDP per capita, HDI and other development stats of Africa to that of the rest of the world. Africa is by far and large the poorest and least developed continent. It is largely pre industrial

Latin America is far ahead of Africa

Asia and Oceania is way way ahead of Africa

The Western world/ East Asia is just overkill and is light years ahead of Africa to such an extent that it makes Africa look like it’s literally on a different timeline compared to the rest of the world.

You call these Europeans “savages” but compare the crime rate, violence levels of Africa to Europe. The deadliest wars be it internal or external have largely been in Africa and the Middle East. Africa is more violent than the rest of the world.

You’ve proved my point by saying that
“European savages impose their language on local populations when they win a colonial invasion war”
Why did they win this invasion war? Why didn’t Africa defend itself. The Europeans kicked Africans asses. They conquered the land and divided into pieces, took slaves to the Americas and so on. You say that Africa is on par with them yet you speak their language?😂😂😂😂
If really Africa was what you say it was. They wouldn’t have allowed Europe to impose themselves. They would have repelled such an invasion. But they didn’t and you know why? Because the Africans were not a match for Europe back then and still aren’t today.

Just accept it, The West beat Africa. Africa is influenced by the West culturally and so on hence why it speaks their languages, practices their religion and so on.
