Saying black women cannot pronounce or enunciate.

Saying black women are easy lays

Saying black people give their children trash names while Hispanics and other give their kids reasonable names.

Generalizing black people as being ostentatious and having low IQ.

Focusing all these negatives on blacks while not making similar “jokes” about any other race, is RACIST. RACIST not insensitive.

He never apologized for his racist jokes but instead sought to minimize them.

Ani had said in a video that she is not black (I.e. Black American) but Nigerian and that Nigerians have culture while implying that Black Americans do not.

I find Ami’s reasoning to be hogwash. If Ami so loved her culture then why didn’t she marry within said culture? Instead she perennially chooses loser white men (1st husband was abusive and current husband is a convicted felon and a former alcoholic who was not gainfully employed when she met him). Word is that (in between husband’s her Mom introduced her to a Nigerian Doctor, but she preferred a white man on the unemployment line.

Justin McClure hit paydirt when he married her because he is living high off the hog based on the YouTube earnings of the twins, who are not his biological daughters. I would say his marrying Ami was a strategic move which has paid off handsomely.

In my opinion, Ami has self hate. But of course she is not going to admit that. Her husbands tweets were racist. Why didn’t she sit back, let him apologize and then everyone move on? He didn’t apologize, instead she started voltroning for him. That is probably why she threw in the tidbit of having hated white people before (to deflect by implying she had behaved more egregiously in the past and so black people should give Justin a pass). Now when you look at Ami’s antecedents, it’s more likely that she has never hated white people but instead has put them on a pedestal and worshipped them.

The distinction you made does not really make a difference. The question is: can a man be sexually attracted to a woman while holding racist views against that woman’s race. The answer is yes.

You are well aware of the recorded spate of killing of unarmed black men? Well these has been happening since the beginning of this country. Black people have always complained. White people would deflect and say it’s all in their minds, white police officers would frame and tell lies against the dead victims and white jurors would always let the policemen off the hook. Well in this day and age when everyone’s phone has video capabilities, people are now recording everything. Yet I spite of the video evidence, the white jurors continue to acquit even in clear cut cases like that of Philando Castille.

Most of these people in interracial relationships can never discuss any current race related topics with their spouse because like the white jurors, their white spouse would always take the side of white no matter how clear cut the evidence is. During Trumps campaign, there was a black girl on YouTube in an interracial relationship. Her white boyfriend went on a rant racially abusing all black people was very aggressive and physically threatening to the girlfriend and even ended up calling her the “N” word. Most interracial relationships follow this dynamic with the black partner tiptoeing around racial issues (or just plain pretending that racism does not exist) so as not to offend their white partner. What kind of marriage is that when you cannot watch TV with your spouse while freely commenting on current affairs? Most people in Interracial relationships are in an abusive relationship. They just put up a good facade. And since a lot of people want to believe the grass is greener on the other side/live in fantasy land, they believe the hype. That is why a lot of interracial youtubers have very high views. But in spite of them trying to portray a fantasy, a lot of them are developing cracks and showing their not so pretty underbelly. For example Judith’s Foreign Life (Nigerian girl from a well to do family went and married this broke ass loser white man who turned out to be bisexual and involved in the adult sex industry). Then there is Valencia’s life. Also Brittslife or some similar name. In her case, her husband cheated on her with a suspected tranny and the news was all over YouTube. All these youtubers had very high viewership because people are/were enthralled with all things interracial.

Christelyn Karazin the premiere promoter of Interracial relationships on YouTube tries to teach female swirlers how to date white men without setting them off on a racist rant. My question is what kind of life/Love is that? That is not an equal partnership but an abusive relationship. The whites are mostly racist and when they have children from these unions, they continue to spew racist nonsense against black people while encouraging the children to identify more with their white side and eventually marry white. While the black partners are self hating try hards, who lack the ability to impart love of their black self/portion on their biracial children. Lose Lose situation if you ask me.

Justin McClure’s statements were racist. And yes racist white men are sexually attracted to, sleep with and even marry black women, all while holding onto the racist ideas they were raised with.

America was built on racism and it is closely interwoven into the fabric of the nation. All the civil rights movement achieved was to drive racism underground. It’s many proponents are alive, well and thriving and pass it on from generation to generation. They only difference is that they are more covert with it, which makes it even more dangerous because many people look but do not see what is “hidden in plain sight.” Racism is systemic, it’s in our judiciary, law enforcement arm, the prison industrial complex and the executive arm of government. Most importantly, it’s in the minds of many people. Unfortunately, one cannot legislate the mind.

That was rape, the idea was to inflict pains and dominate the victim.
This man isn't 'raping' her. Someone just posted what he tweeted on and I wouldn't call that racist.

Now you're sounding like he knew those twins were money making ventures on sighting them. Let's not forget its his account that was converted to theirs. He probably discovered that 'potential'.

the man kept his "views" on there till the kids became popular and on being popular converted it to theirs. if he thought his views were cool, why delete ? you sound like you know the family well enough... you know the dynamics that brought them together too? someone posted also the lady admits she hates white people (which I find reprehensible also) and that does not set off alarm bells to you?

Well, I don't think a core racist would marry and reproduce with a black. We can't say for a fact his comments were actually 'racist', knowing how some blacks can be so sensitive.

I wouldn't be so sure, you should know them better grin

In the foundational years of America, the early Caucasian settlers believed African slaves were property and not human. Certainly could not vote. That was racist. But you know what? that did not stop them from raping their female slaves and breeding children with them. Therefore I do not agree with you on this point. A mindset/pattern of racist behavior does not just change dramatically like that., Not to say one cannot change one's viewpoint but to me I wonder if this "change" was not as a result of the money making potential he saw with those kids. This is afterall America

Travel / Re: Pls A Good Suggestion For A Perplexed Law Graduate Who Intends Leaving Nigeria by aribs(m): 5:49pm On Jul 16, 2018
Depends on how much resources are available to you and what you would want to do. I would concur with the views of Cyberknight for the most part. If your resources are able to make you pass exams such as LSAT here in the US so you can go for a three -year program, then by all means sure. However, if this is not so, would suggest you explore other areas if you really want to school abroad. I would not suggest a Masters in Law except you are doing a Masters in Taxation Law or some other high specialty masters. Those might give you an advantage but they are quite tough (not impossible). Here in the US, which is common law like Nigeria, the market for lawyers is not doing so great except you go to certain schools which sort of give you a leg up over competition so that is also one factor you should consider. Ultimately, your resources, ability to adapt based on your country of choice and your personal drive would be the ultimate decider. By the way thanks Pocohantas

The truth is that for some reason I am yet to understand fully, Yorubas and Hausas dont want Nigeria to divide. You are quick to call Igbos emotional but i knw one thing... ur not wanting to divide has a lot to do with oil... also igbos wanting to break away with Niger Delta also has a lot to do with oil. At the end of the day, its not because u love Igbos, Ijaws or one Nigeria
Just in case u don't know, there are those who do want a Yoruba republic among the yorubas. My argument goes for those who want that too..this oil u mention, other than the elites who have the wherewithal to invest in/Buy the oilfields ( which again cuts across), how has it impacted the average Joe on the streets of Osogbo, Awka, and Azare? The term emotional as used referees to all parties , not just Igbo...everyone needs to first stop this sheer absurdity, know the real enemies for who they are and begin to proffer solutions on a way out. If there is news of a potential war, you think those willing to invest will come to ND? Everyone loses here as I see it . Not worth it

1st of all there are many igbo elites capable of articulating a way forward for Biafra.

Ppl who would have been beter presidents dan yaradua or buhari if not for the type of country nigeria is. 2nd how would u knw if biafra would succeed b4 dividing? Hausa fulani's interest has been carried along long enof. Maybe time igbo interest is considered. While we are talking wat will make biafra viable, there is relatively stable power in small Togo and efficient police too
I have no doubt these are fine men and women .I have listened to them speak at different fora. However, politics is a different beast altogether. I am sure you do know that this new nation will need time, possibly a number of years before the right infrastructure can be put in place. Not going to be Eldorado immediately. What about the other points raised? even during the First Republic, the political elite in Nigeria (this cuts across all tribes)have continued to take the masses for a ride, it has always been us against them . They have kept us busy with issues such as tribe and religion as they struggle for access to the national.purse. they have created a beggar class (almajiri, political thugs, assassin's for hire ) out of the very people they were to protect. Nationhood is a messy business . As i said earlier, let the head lead the heart.

Indians all speak hindi and 80% are of hindu religion. I live in a majority indian country so i know. China all speak mandarin and about 80% are Han chinese. America dont have diverse people who are extremely loyal to their country of origin. They have people who consider themselves america 1st. That was why obama emerged president in a majority white country and stayed 8yrs. U said u are yoruba.. i am igbo and believe me yorubas and igbos dont even mingle or live 2geda as nigerians abroad. Its usually each tribe to his own.. at least in the country i base. Ukraine broke 4rm russia and started to excel. Eritrea broke from ethiopia and started to excel. Singapore broke from malaysia and started to excel. Hausa fulanis reason like chadians and niger republicans not like southern nigerians... so coexisting wont happen anytime soon. Abroad hausas (the few based abroad) dont even mingle with d rest of nigerians. Believe me if odua nations comes and lagos as its capital, u will excel much more than nigeria has allowed u to or will allow u.
Not sure where u got the 80 percent Hindu from as there are ethnic and religious minorities such as the Sikhs, Christians and moslems there. Your argument as u put it seems to imply there is a superior genre that kicks in once separation is complete. You mention Singapore. U had Lee Kwan Yeu there who laid these sound polices that made sure the country grew solidly . Pray, which among the elites u know right now of eastern Nigerian extraction will be able to formulate these policies? This is what i mean by building institutions or is independence gotten just for the sake of it ? How then would the new nation not dissolve into chaos? I live in the US and went to graduate school here . Even in conservative Texas where i schooled , we Nigerians from different tribes co existed peacefully. I have received and given assistance from igbos and other Nigerians and i am sure this is not unigue to me . U say Americans don't have loyalty to country of origin. Then u should see the stadiums packed full of Mexican Americans when the US plays Mexico. This as I said does not negate self determination but at what cost? Those who are directly affected what then happens to them ? How is it to be done to ensure this does not bring war and everyone s interest is carried along? What is there to make the country viable. This is not being emotional as I see emotion is high on all sides.

You are right.... but to an extent.
Ok lets say we debate today and kanu quits his agitation... do u think that the christian igbos and the muslim north will now start hugging and kissing every morning. That igbos would now be given their dues and respect and that ethnic tensions will no longer happen.. EVER! Even in the nxt 30 yrs? Let me tell u sincerely, Nigeria is a peculier counyry. Largest black Nation, more than 200 tribes and tongue with strong tribal loyalty, almost equally divided between christians and muslims, oil found in the minorities' stronghold. Nigeria will divide eventually.. how and when is a matter of generations and their strongmen. Every generation has their strongmeb

No , I don't think people will get together just like that. u say Nigeria is peculiar. this may be true but its not the only country in the world with a diverse set of people speaking different tongues and with different religions. India is in a similar situation. different religions ,varying tribes. pray how does dividing really solve anything here? I am Yoruba . in the ethnic group, there are various subsets . you would have the same issue of one subset wanting to lord it over the others. in terms of economic viability, has anyone thought of how to create institutions for such a country. how will the new country not mirror the very evils you say you want to avoid by going separately? How then do you divide national assets in such a scenario? Are you willing to wage war to kill those who may oppose you? this utopian ideal of when we get our country, life will be so much better is not realistic. by all means I understand self determination is appropriate but let the true cost be taken into account also

The first time I heard of Pro government protesters attacking anti government protesters was during GEJ. During the Oduah Gate scandal, Dino Melaye led Anti corruption network group in a protest rally, another pro government group came and attacked them, police also arrested Dino while his group was attacked. Dino is now a Senator I know he can never forget the incident. Later in the government, there was always pro government group attacking any anti government rally. It happened several times in Abuja, OPC held Lagos hostage for hours for Jonathan before election, they damaged so many things.

I condemn the attack on Charlie Boy. It is uncivilised & barbaric but it is also a warning to Kanu to forget his visit to Kaduna. Wuse market has the high population of traders who could have been useful to Charlie Boy but they know they are on strange land even if they control 80% of the asset in Abuja they don't own the land and Kanu & the comments of his brothers on nairaland have made any objective rally a tribal sensitive issue particularly in the North

You are quite right. this protest and attack on peaceful protesters is disgraceful and should be condemned for what it is but then to be honest, even to the deaf and blind, it is obvious that the election wounds of 2015 are yet to heal which is sad. the vitriolic attacks on both sides of the divide have exacerbated the matter to the point of tension..If the separatist Kanu would want to take his campaign to the North, I am afraid he might begin something he would regret really. If he has police or guards, who would protect the average Igbo trader in the North who just wants to go about his business? I think it is time for laying aside these issues and having frank discussions on the way forward. I do not support the breakup of Nigeria as I see no value in it and I am yet to see a non-violent breakup in Africa (Eritrea and South Sudan as examples). This election is over people. Do not let those who seek to divide using ethnicity and religion destroy common values we hold dear. their kids and loved ones are here with me in the US and the West, living the best of lives with unfettered access to cash siphoned by their elitist politician parents. the ones that are in naija have visas on their passports and will take off if things go south. the ordinary Nigerian will be the refugee, the homeless starving ones...

If you read this article properly, especially if you are into business and get to do transfers regularly, you would find nothing incriminating there.

I have read it over and over to see where there was a crime but couldn't find any.

So AEB got a license to lift rude for sale overseas. They find a competent company, Televeras that has the networks and the logistics capacity to execute the trade. They enter a price sharing agreement with Televeras paying a percentage of its trade to AEBD.

Apparently, that's what the transfers must have been about. Televeras paying off its commitment to the owner of the license. Where is the crime?

If the crime is in Deizani getting kickbaks from the trade off, then that is definitely corrupt practice. But this article didn't in anyway indicate that Televeras transferred money to DEIZANI.

This is mere sensational reporting. Televeras has not been shown to commit any rime.
This is not sensational reporting but a factual analysis done after forensic auditing..the evidence being alluded to here is the use of funds from Sanomi's companies yo fund bribes. There is a clear nexus between these payments and corrupt proceeds. As to whether he is criminally liable or not, the burden of proof will be on them to prove that he knew those funds were going ro bribe corrupt officials in Nigeria. For the purposes of asset forfeiture, the proof is there and the connection has been established

Crispels:
.


Am a student from the best University in the South East. I study History and International Studies. Am in my third year. Presently, am faced with a puzzle. Firstly, am a student politician/unionist/leader. I currently serve as the General Secretary of my Faculty. A position I took as the youngest in the History of my institution. Based on my track records, leadership qualities and innovative ideas, the Students' populace are urging me to test the waters of Students' Union leadership. However, am contemplating pulling out of Campus politics so as to explore other opportunities as an undergraduate. These opportunities includes - Taostmaters international programmes and certificates, debates, conferences, lectures etc. For instance, I will be a delegate at an upcoming United Nations programme. Am a decent 2'1 student, and I thirst to study harder to increase my CGPA that has dwindled as a result of my participation in campus politics. Campus politics consumes lots of money, time and energy. And even when you emerge, it brings about more stress and problems to face.

In terms of money, am okay, I lack no basic needs as am not even into campus politics for money but for the life lessons one learns from it. In terms of connection, am closer to my VC than even some SUG representatives as he loves the ideas I bring on board.

In summary, I want to focus more on my studies and seal my 2'1. I also want to explore other aspects of international opportunities like Toastmasters international, UN models, conferences, debates , improved scholarship et al.

More so, I already received a certificate of honour from the University authorities for my leadership qualities and contributions.

However, I believe am a born leader, filled with ideas and I evidently can serve the Student populace the best way possible. I see myself as a missing link. What is neeeded.

I can't combine the two, one has to step down for the other.

I plan to proceed to the United States for my postgraduate after my degree in Nigeria.

Your advice?

This happens to be the biggest decision of my life.

You have a very good academic background in my opinion and you would succeed anywhere regardless of where u eventually settle . However since you want to move to the US , here is my advice
1) please come through the school.route if you don't have anyone to sponsor a green card for you. That keeps you legal while you are exploring your options .
2) prepare to work very hard while you are here . Lots of people are super brilliant and are as accomplished as you are. What would differentiate you is your hunger for success .
Focus on getting your good grades . To be honest in my own experience , no one cared what grade I made in university in nigeria . The experience you will get here is unparalleled and can set u up for life depending on how you handle things . They cared more about my experience , GRE scores, and the fact that I demonstrated that I would be willing and able to undertake the academic rigor a postgraduate degree entails .
I have a few options if you are interested based on your background. I normally wouldn't talk this much but I love to see people succeed, people who are not afraid to work hard and believe in their dreams.Cheers

Clever writeup but your points are not all valid. To address them one by one:
First you claim we have an incompetent executive . That in this case could be because you may not have a full understanding of what goes into a budget bill. A budget is a bill of law that is passed like any other bill before the legislature. Amendments are made and are allowed up till when the bill leaves the committee stage. This bill hhad neither been considered by the whole Senate no gone through the First or Second Reading. Even in advanced democracies, budgets go through this same process and it is not uncommon to have serial amendments made to budget estimates
To your other point about having a ruling party in disarray, I think that is the collective fault of the Nigerian voting public. Candidates of different political.parties stood for election into our legislature. If we chose to elect incompetent people to these institutions regardless of political.party affiliations , that is on us.
This flows to your third point about the seeming incapacity of these senators to deliver on their mandate. This shows the quality of those the Nigerian voting public thought best would fit. For instance , what are the qualifications of those who hold these seats ? Do they have the right advisors? In other countries freshmen lawmakers have technical advisers who guide the lawmakers in the performance of their duties. Here it is a job for the boys and hangers on...this budget debacle to me reflects everything wrong with how we perceive candidates . What we should care about is how to make sure all organs of government remember that we put them there and they are supposed to.work.for our interest irrespective of political.affiliations
