CultureRe: Don't You Feel Ashamed When You Kiss Up To Someone Elses Culture More So Than... by Blyss: 12:24am On Aug 22, 2012
Fulaman198: So do you view this as a good thing? The fact that English has become more dominant than mother tongues? Do you feel it is good to lose ones culture? Answer that. It sounds like you are having an inferiority complex into thinking the Western culture is better than yours. I am here telling you not to lose your culture.
How is it an inferior complex to acknowledge when something in which someone else possesses is of better quality than than that in which you possess? If you lived in a shack, would you deny that the person living in the mansion has a better home? If you were an illiterate, elementary school dropout... would you deny that the person with a PHD had a better quality of education? Your logic is flawed.

Ptolomeus: No, I'm not kidding.
Indeed I am deeply grateful affection that I have received many brethren.
Many would have understood that I am a rude comment from africa by without being African. But no one has done ...
I try to share my little knowledge, who provide friendship to give me, and share my love for Africa with everyone.
No, I'm not kidding, I'm thanking
Say what? huh

Ptolomeus: Dear friend:
It is I who should be grateful to you.
Thank you for accepting me despite being abroad for giving me your friendship, excuse my bad English, and for letting me feel your friend despite the distance.
I always read your always insightful comments.
A sincere hug!
cheesy You're joking with this right?

Do you even know whether i am female or male let alone pinpoint an etnicityhuhhuhhuh
I'm 90% certain that you're a BA, and 98% Certain you're Female. Their are certain slight things particular to certain peoples actions, words, timing in which you just cant fake, because it comes natural and unexpected. cheesy

Mrs.Chima:
Sis consider the source.


I guess everybody is yellow......fat......and akata.

Smh.
Nah, you took that the wrong way; I'm just getting at the fact of that I have a gift for telling how someone "most likely looks" simply based on how they express themselves toward others of various character. On the heavy side doesn't mean obese, it just simply means your big boned or thick. Now I want you to be honest, and tell me if my guess on your physical was correct or not. Remember, it was just a guess.. but it's totally how I've pictured you, based on social experience. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. cheesy

Mrs.Chima:
U gon take someones words about me over mehuhhuh?!!!!!!
First of all, that pic was taken in Nigeria of some street hawker. So unless you've been lying all this time, saying you're BA when really you're Nigerian, and a broke as a joke one at that; then that aint you in that pic. Secondly, that chick in the pic is on the slim side, and I can tell that you're on the heavy side, and most likely not nearly as dark as that girl is, I'm 75% sure you're actually pretty much on the yellow side. cheesy

PAGAN 9JA:
^NO WE CANNOT & WON'T. our traditional lifestyle has been messed up by the colonisers and we have reached a point of no return. today if we take a spear into the bush, we find hardly any animals left. how re we supposed tosurvive??!!!! no unless they put things right, we therefore are forced into accepting these new additions in order to survive in this world. it is our right.
you think we will just let them get away after stealing our resources and ruining our liveshuh NEVER! angry

and anyways we are talking about indigenous matters .
Yeah, that's what I thought. cheesy

Fulaman198: I am not a "tribalist" or "someone who is only for my ethnic group." I am a "traditionalist" aka someone who wants indigenous cultures to remain the same and have no outside influence from Western cultures. I think that is what you are. When you use the word "tribalist" it is almost like saying you care only for yourself and for your people.

For example, many cultures in West Africa and Africa in general have become or are becoming Westernized (Igbos, Yoruba, SOME Hausa (mainly Nigeria)), Kikuyus in Kenya, Bamakan/Bambara in Mali/Senegal, Lingala peoples of Congo/Rwanda etc.) I am for Africans not having any sort of Western influence whatsoever. In fact, when I see Westerners from Europe or the Americas going to study the various kinds of Fulani people (Tukulor, Wodaabe and other Mbororos, Jelgobe, Gowabe, Liptaako, Fulakunda, etc. etc.) I get very angry because often these Westerners are studying us as if we are lab rats.

They may think they are doing a good thing, but in reality, they are not. They are exposing our culture(s) to the Western world. More and more each day you are seeing Westerners going to ancient lands of Africa (like Timbuktu for Festival in the desert) or Agadez/Chad border to witness Wodaabe Gerewol. This makes our cultures more Westernized.

I can go on all day about this, but what I want you to do is to start calling yourself a "traditionalist" someone who is for the preservation of Traditional culture worldwide and not a "tribalist." It has a bad tone to it.
Then get your azz off that western designed and engineered computer you typed this up on.

Why is it that African leaders don't ever come to the US to visit directly with the BA community, for business adventures and such? We are the most robust black community in the world, and yet they go to placed like puny Tinidad and Jamaica? cheesy undecided
