I'll make this short, race has nothing to do with a person's intelligence it's how the person's mind develops. Do not let media media brainwash you.

THE AMAKA Today at 14:31:20:

I would love to see Jackie without her heavy "pancake" because as far as I'm concerned, Jackie is always heavily made up, EVERY TIME i see her.

very true- jackie wears a lot of makeup but i think she is a beautiful lady. her smile is gorgeous.

genny is nice, but i don't see her beauty at all.

Culture / Re: African Identity Crisis: A Must Read For All. by africhika(f): 3:20am On Jul 17, 2011
ODUMCHI, i understand you-- but "African American" has more than one definition.

here are some of the ways I've seen people use the term "African American" :
1) An African person who is an American citizen
2) An American citizen who is of African ancestry


i remember telling my teacher that i am from nigeria. My teacher is a "black american."
she said, "you're from nigeria? that means you are a real African American because you are an African living in America."

so, the term has several meanings

i do feel the term "black" is strange. I don't even use the word "white". I prefer to say "European American".

Read the BBC article here: India's Unwanted Girls http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-13264301
very sad


excerpt:

Kulwant has three daughters aged 24, 23 and 20 and a son who is 16.
In the years between the birth of her third daughter and her son, Kulwant became pregnant three times.
Each time, she says, she was forced to abort the foetus by her family after ultrasound tests confirmed that they were girls.
"My mother-in-law taunted me for giving birth to girls. She said her son would divorce me if I didn't bear a son."

Kulwant still has vivid memories of the first abortion. "The baby was nearly five months old. She was beautiful. I miss her, and the others we killed," she says, breaking down, wiping away her tears.
Until her son was born, Kulwant's daily life consisted of beatings and abuse from her husband, mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Once, she says, they even attempted to set her on fire.

"They were angry. They didn't want girls in the family. They wanted boys so they could get fat dowries," she says.
India outlawed dowries in 1961, but the practice remains rampant and the value of dowries is constantly growing, affecting rich and poor alike.
Kulwant's husband died three years after the birth of their son. "It was the curse of the daughters we killed. That's why he died so young," she says.

[size=15pt]sorry, but indian culture has little respect for women[/size] (with the exception of the few indian matrilineal tribes)


[size=13pt]yes, the bride pays the grooms family. which is why indian families prefer to have sons.
that's been a cultural tradition for thousands of years, as indian culture is quite ancient


i read an article in the bbc a few weeks ago about indian wives who are forced to kill their baby girls--truly pathetic
oftentimes, a family with daughters will go bankrupt just trying to pay for their daughters to get married!


my mom is a nurse at a large hospital in atlanta. the indian families are always rude. She said one Indian guy actually spit on one of the black nurses! and the indian doctors always talk down to her and the other african nurses.[/size]


[size=15pt]80% of every indian man i have ever met was DOWNRIGHT RUDE, including the ones who work at the gas/petrol stations [/size]  angry(because here in atlanta, indians own a lot of gas stations

Culture / Re: Is Osu Still In Vogue? by africhika(f): 9:16pm On Jun 23, 2011
tpia on: 27 November 2008, 18:44:15:

its only when the marriage is a family affair that someone's ancestry becomes the main issue.

Nigerians marry all kinds of unannounced "osu-like" foreigners abroad without anyone raising an eyelid.

How many Naijas check the background credentials of their prospective foreign partners before marriage? And even assuming they could, how much can they actually find out if the spouse doesnt tell them?

Say the partner's name is Pocket. You discover records for a Pocket who was jailed and deported to Australia as a criminal two hundred years ago. Meanwhile, Pocket is a common name and there are thousands of unrelated people in your town bearing that name. Your partner says s/he knows nothing about this other Pocket and they arent related. You'll still go ahead with the wedding anyway. And besides, many Nigerians marry the same kind of people they turn their noses up at home, when they go abroad. Who has the time or inclination to check records. Especially if its a green card marriage (that will still produce pikins oh).

Thats why you see Naijas abroad embracing a different set of rules when they want to marry a foreigner. When they're marrying a fellow Nigerian its a totally different pot of tea.


tpia, u better preach! cool
