And eastern European women are what?
I wish I could show you some of the begging emails I receive daily from eastern European prostitutes begging me to bring them over to the UK for marriage. Eastern European women are the biggest whores in Europe everybody knows that, ever heard of the saying that those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones? To call you a fool is an insult to fools, remove the log in your eye before commenting about the speck in someone else's mor.on.

Black is beauty etc but character- god help the world. Yourself - how did u end up in europe? Sham marriage with slavic dog? Loool
I hate European flat asses, dead eyes , limp hair and haggard faces.

Did I say Hitler was my idol - I simply demonstrated that a European (Hitler) regarded fellow Europeans (your Slavic people) as lower than rats hence his decision to gas as many of them as he could.

My idols are true heroes eg Thomas Sankara, Malcolm X and Marcus Garvey.

You need to focus your anger on those European Neo Nazis in the UK, Germany, Russia and the United States who still regard Hitler as their hero okay wink wink

I don't need to engage in a sham marriage as I was born in the UK fool.

Also the Africans who marry those white slags n Europe only do so for one thing - PASSPORT AND NOT LOVE.

The majority of African men who marry white women usually abandon them after they have got their passports and go back to Africa to find themselves aproper wife not a public bicycle that everyone has taken a ride on.

Noted slave! Now move on.

So because your ancestors were slaves it justifiea the injustice your people are doing to fellow citizens ba?. Because they were once slaves, their childrens children can go about and do evil, steal, kill and destroy ba? let me tell you, until we as a continent wake up any see that we own our lives, our power and all we have in Africa, we will continue to live as the scum of the world.
We Africans are the cause of our own problems. We hate to hear the truth. We like to pass blames to the white man or the devil, we like to have people give us stuff in a platter Which will never happen. In this world, no one will breast feed another persons child for free. If you are weak, the strong will take over that is the fact of life. If our leaders can stand as one and unite and stop thinking like animals, even the white man will have no choice than to acknowledge our strength. But we can not. we like to rape, kill and destroy one another. We give room for the white man to stand as our saviour thus opening doors for them to divide and rule us the more.
We are not better to one another. We are quick to insult, kill, maim and drag one another in the mud as soon as we do not agree with their ideas. We lack open communication skills and we hate with passion. Who in his right mind will like such an environment?
shut it please! You are so ignorant.
Dimwits like you are always focusing on the so called injustice that Africans mete out to their fellow Africans but never mention the architects of the problem. You never mention the mass murder of Africans by Europeans all thooughout slavery and colonialism and you never ever discuss the ongoing wars that take place in Africa over our resources which are all engineered by Europeans. Has any African ever dropped an atomic bomb on a country killing hundreds of thousands of people in one go? Has any African dropped napalm on the vegetation of a country simply because the people of that country refused to surrender their sovereignty? But many European nations have done this and continue to do this right up to now but i.diots like you refuse to see any of these injustices and instead spend your time blabbing about Africa this and Africa that. Your talking about how wicked we are to each other - did you know how an insignificant country like Belgium became rich? It stole an entire country in Africa by the name of DRC, for those who don't know DRC has an estimated mineral wealth of over $24 trillion, at the time that King Leopold stole that country it was a rich source of rubber, Leopold and his soldiers converted the entire population of that country into slave labour with men, women and children forced to go into the forest to tap rubber from the trees, anyone who did not bring back enough rubber for the day had one of their limbs chopped off. I bet you didn't know that - now that you know that would you call the European a barbaric animal for doing that? Would you call him an inhuman, greedy, satanic monstrosity for meting out such barbarism on his fellow human being - I bet you will still keep kissing his feet and thanking him for bringing you civilisation like that dirty Slavic white dog (gofyourself) tried to imply in one of her earlier posts.
May god have mercy on you ignoramuses.

excuses excuses excuses. are you qadaffi? or even equal to him? i don't think so. so what we are talking here? plus you are not centre of the world - many of africans were enslaved not only you- don't victimise yourself- old story. those countries u mentioned - they were colonists as well, and brazil speaks Portuguese, some africa speaks french, mexico and s.america speaks spanish. speak native in here than if you are so smart! half of the country won't understand what you saying

p.s. most of the europe will answer you perfectly english! especially scandinavia. been to south(spain, portugal and greece) - no problem.
unsurprisingly you missed my point - I wasn't criticising Qadaffi as I admire what he stood for and wish more African leaders could emulate him.

The transatlantic slavery is an old story true but so is the holocaust but I bet you wouldn't have the guts to tell a Jew to stop talking about Auschwitz. Would you tell Jews that they are making excuses when they regurgitate their holocaust under Nazi Germany? Would you call Stephen Spielberg a victim for making a film about the holocaust - no you wouldn't dare, you know why because you are just another brainwashed fool.

Yes the countries I mentioned were colonialistts but you were glorifying the English language as if it is the language of God himself I mentioned those other Europeans to show you that even they do not accord it the respect that you do, they put their own languages before other people's language - have you heard of the saying that charity begins at home? Everyone practices that saying except Africans.

Non English speaking Europeans speak English as a second language but their native language and culture comes first.

We cant get electricity issues sorted out because the bulk of our revenue is being used to service international debt and fabricated interest rates. The other day Obj and Okonjo Iweala gave away billions in dollars of our foreign reserve in the name of paying off a fabricated loan.

Thankful for speaking the language of the people who enslaved us - you need help - most Europeans don't even speak English as a first language - go to France, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Portugal and speak English to the average man on the street and see if he will answer you.

Bros if you knew me personally you would know that your above statement is way off track. In an earlier post I said that I lost faith in Buhari when I discovered the kind of people who are backing him, many of these people are southerners (Amaechi , Fashola, Tinubu) who I know are corrupt and do not mean well for Nigeria. Buhari 30 years ago is not the same Buhari you are seeing today. I believe that those criminals who may also be his financiers are merely hiding behind his anti corruption stance in order to fool the Nigerian electorate into voting them into office. ONce these APC vampires have their way their true colours will emerge. Buhari is basically being used as a front man, I believe that he has lost the apetite to fight against the corrupt vultures who are in the majority in Nigerian politics. Even if he means well he will be outnumbered, at 72 he is now too old to mount any kind of serious opposition against these people, it took me a while to come to this conclusion as I really believed in him but my suspicions were confirmed 100% when I saw that pic of him with Tony Blair. Trust me there is no way the UK would endorse Buhari if they knew he had not changed his anti IMF stance of 30 years ago. This was therefore the deal breaker for me because as you know the IMF is and will always be one of the root causes of the economic problems that we continue to endure in Nigeria today.

I think black people in predominately white countries should stop trying to be accepted by whites and just do their own thing. Be proud of who/whom they are naturally because whites will never accept them. Build a strong community that pursues innovation and education. That's just my 2 cents.
I agree. As you can see white people still see black people as N.......... even with a Harvard education. Infact many believe that the black people who were accepted to study at Harvard did not get in on merit. It would have been interesting to see what they made of the young Nigerian genius Saheela.

Until blacks all over the world understand that only they hold the key to their advancement as a race we will continue to see blacks begging to be accepted by whites like those young black students on that video, the Honourable Marcus Mosiah Garvey got it right when he advocated that black people all over the world must:


establish a universal confraternity among the race.

promote the spirit of race pride and love.

reclaim the fallen race.

establish universities, colleges and secondary schools for the further education and culture of the boys and girls of the black race.

conduct a worldwide commercial and industrial intercourse.

Garvey’s doctrine centered on the ideas of uniting the black race, educating all blacks and creating a strong economy that blacks could count on . The focus was on self-help.

Garvey's view was that : "As the Jew is held together by his religion, the white races by the assumption and the unwritten law of superiority, and the Mongolian by the precious tie of blood, so likewise the Negro must be united in one grand racial hierarchy."
Black self love and self reliance - this is the key to black emancipation, anything short of that will ensure that we remain the white man's slave.

Does Harvard produce house negroes or field negroes?
grin grin
Its an elite college and attracts mainly the children of rich upper class white people, therefore the answer to your question is that it has a high propensity to produce house negroes rather than field negroes.

The few blacks who graduate from a school like Harvard regard themselves as being above members of their own race and rather than use their god given intellectual ability and talent to help their people tend to shun anything that reminds them of their roots , these type of blacks tend to adopt the ideologies, beliefs and mannerisms of upper class whites, some even become more racist towards blacks than white people!!

A famous black comedian by the name of Dick Gregory once responded , when asked if his children attended Harvard that he wouldn't send his dog there! At the time I didn't understand what he meant but since listening to a few blacks who attended that institution I've come to understand where he was coming from. Harvard is really a finishing school for the children of white elites, most blacks who attend the school end up with an identity crisis - they can't fit back into the society where they came from and they can't fit into upper class white society either because of the fact that they are black.

Many end up with psychological issues, hopefully this young lady might turn out to be the exception to the rule.

Err, you still aren't getting my point. My point is that: Blair and the "New Labour" did make life a tad bit easier for the minorities. Before 1997, things were tougher. That's also the reason why we've a Chuka Ummuna vying for the PM seat...and the reason why tons of black folks feel integrated into mainstream Britain. And also why you have tons of Nigerians in London running around today like they own everywhere. They wouldn't have been able to do that pre-Blair. Do you remember how black folks used to dump their kids in foster homes cos they didn't have enough money to raise them?

Institutionalised racism isn't going anywhere, it's here to stay, and no one man can change that - reality. It's their country, and no matter how post-racial and globalised the world might be projecting itself on the surface...they'll always feel a sense of ownership to what belongs to them. And black folks are still a meagre 3-5% of the population. We just need to live with that, and make use of whatever opportunity presents itself.

What I've come to realise over the years is that: it's somewhat problematic to always feel a sense of ownership to what doesn't belong to you. That's how dreams are shattered. I remember growing up and how everyone used to be too engulfed in the dream they keep selling to us about sense of entitlement, till getting out there and discovering that it's just some MLK-esque dream - and you're just like any fresh African that just got off the boat yesterday. It's real out here on these streets, hence a lot of young black folks are disenfranchised cos they don't treat us like we belong here. When fuvckers ask you all the time about where ya parents are from, and make everything about that - then you know shiit is real.

Anyway, things are better now and at least I can drive around London and see smiling black faces everywhere. It never used to be like that.
Chuka Umunna is a token black puppet who does not represent the interests of the average black person in the UK so I don't see his appointment as a plus for black people in general.

When was the last time you heard Chuka Umunna addressing issues of inequality, discrimination and deaths of black men in police custody?

With regard to Nigerians running around in the UK - how many of them have good jobs? Majority do the jobs that british people don't want, actually thats one of the reasons why New Labour relaxed immigration laws as they need cheap labour to keep their economy ticking over.

You say that blacks should simply put up with institutionalised racism because the UK is not our country - it seems as if you've forgotten that Britain's wealth was built on the blood and sweat of slavery, colonialism and now immigrant labour, surely black people deserve to be treated as equals in a country which was built on the blood and sweat of their ancestors?

Anyway theres a black british guy i'd like you to listen to, you might know him his name is Akala - I have a lot of respect for him - see what you think:

SirShymexx:
Brev, I never said everything is perfect - the UK is still as racist as ever, especially the institutionalised and covert racism. I was just alluding to certain policies that were effected during Blair's tenure, which led to improved opportunities for black folks. Without even saying much, once you look at immigration and how we have loads of black folks here today - you can't do nothing but laud the guy. How many black people were running around, owning properties and businesses before in the 70s, 80s, and 90? I lived through the 90s, and there weren't that many black folks running around back then. And how about compare him to Margaret Thatcher and John Major? The Brixton riots?

Anyway, I'll go off the top and list a few things:

- He started training programmes for young welfare recipients from the poorest backgrounds - and provided them with free training to expand employment opportunities.

- Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) for young people in College, from the most disadvantaged backgrounds, also started during his tenure. Ditto the expansion of youth clubs to keep idle teenagers and youths off the streets.

- The housing/mortgage scheme was also expanded during his tenure. You can't deny the fact that there was housing boom while he was there. And that was also when loads of black folks started buying houses in Kent, and Essex - with white flight.

- There was a surge in the number of MPs who're minorities, and minorities were encouraged to get involved in decision-making about their communities.

- Also, under his government, there were improved opportunities for minorities. Higher education in-take was expanded, to allow more disadvantaged people from the poorest backgrounds in. And that effectively helped a lot of minorities. I think legal aid was also expanded during his tenure.

Those are just few things I can remember right now. Don't even get me started with Ken Livingstone, and his tenure as the Mayor of London, and how minorities benefited a lot as well. And that was also under Blair's government.
All of the above things you've mentioned do not address the root causes of institutionalised racism in the UK. Blair may have made it possible for more minorities to go into higher education but this doesn't solve the inevitable problem of unemployment that many of them still face when they finish their studies. If you read the link I posted you will find that blacks consistently outperform whites in terms of higher educational qualifications but they still suffer high levels of unemployment. Racism in the UK is institutionalised which is defined as the collective failure of all arms of a system to assist an individual simply because of their race, ethnic origin or colour.
Blair may have tinkered around with some parts of the system but the rest of the system remains fully intact.

Cap28

Anyway, the soft side of me think you need to cut Tony Blair some slack. I believe you have lived in the UK for over 20 years. So, obviously, you should know how the minorities fared - before and after him. The 70s, 80s, and 90s (before Blair) were crazy - Blair saved a lot of lives and gave us hope, with post-racial UK (though it's just on the surface). He ushered in the new era...and he's the reason why there are so many black folks walking around in the UK freely today.

He isn't perfect, and I definitely despise him for that Iraq war and how complicit he was in the whole madness - based on lies. But I'll always have a soft spot for that guy. He's no different from Colin Powell, since Powell was also complicit in the whole fiasco.

Take it easy on Mr. Rabbit Ears (lol) - most folks in the black community still adore him. grin
Bros I wish you could point out one thing Blair did for blacks when he was in office.
Black people in the UK have not fared any better under Blair's so called New Labour - yes, a few token blacks have been thrown a few crumbs but that's it. Yes blacks were openly discriminated against in the UK in the 70s, 80s and 90s but now the discrimination has gone underground but the result is still the same.

According to a study conducted by the University of Manchester last year black people still face significant barriers to social mobility despite being better qualified than their white counterparts, therefore I don't know how you came to the conclusion that Blair ever did anything for blacks in the UK during his tenure in office. #

The UK is still a racist place but its mostly covert now, but sometimes it bubbles to the surface - lets not forget what happend only last week between racist Chelsea supporters and a black guy on a train in Paris:

I honestly don't want to critique the greatness of Thomas Sankara. He was an upright man who died for what he believed in, and Africa doesn't breed too many people like that. However, he didn't play the game the right way...hence those great dreams died with him.

Let me use boxing analogy: in boxing, before every fight, the first thing the ref tells the fighters, is to protect themselves at all times. Sankara knew he never had the power nor protection, to keep the powerful forces against him at bay. He depended too much on the people - and in Africa, the people are like weather (also powerless). That was his Achilles heel and why he was killed like a chicken. He had the dreams of a nation, and a continent on his back - and he could've played game with the French to buy himself time, till he had more than enough protection. But he never did that. Though Mugabe overdid it by declaring himself the life-president - he's a classic example of how to play the game. Sekou Toure also played his cards right.

Yes, you can always learn from other people's experiences, however, when you're not enlightened enough to execute them - then it's basically just like pouring water into a basket. Do Nigerians even know what they want? If the people are a bit enlightened - I honestly don't think anyone would come out in the open to support GEJ. The guy is an utter failure in basically all aspects of governance. Yet loads of folks still see him as the saviour. And the Buhari man wouldn't have been selected in the first place, to begin with.

However, you have got a choice between two uninteresting folks in-front of you. One has been there for 6 years, and he has destroyed the country. While the other might be cut from a similar cloth, albeit a tad bit different in his outlook, he offers something better. Which one are you going to go for? A gift that keeps on giving and a perpetual failure of epic proportions - or something new?
I think Sankara was aware of the fact that he was on the hit list of French intelligence, but sadly France used the one person who he never thought would betray him to kill him -his childhood friend Blaise Campaore. Castro and Chavez surrounded themselves with family members and only those who they could really trust 100%, despite that the CIA made not less than 600 attempts on Castro's life and they eventually got to Chavez in the end so its not easy to stay alive when you go against these monsters, having said that it is not impossible as can be seen with Castro and even Mugabe (as you quite rightly pointed out)
Your point about enlightenment of our people is true but the solution to that is an overhaul of our colonial education system that teaches us that the white man brought us civilisation. The upcoming young ones need to understand that the Europeans are our enemies and have enslaved us for over 500 years , they need to be taught about things like slavery and its legacy on us as a people, they need to be taught about how capitalism has destroyed the world and how it has encouraged selfishness, greed and corruption. They need to be taught that racism was created by the same people who claim that they brought us civilisation and they need to understand that racism aka white supremacy is still being used against black people to convince us that we are an inferior race.

Err, at the bold, realistically, I don't think that's going to change any time soon. Only a government created by revolutionaries would be able to change the status quo - not a democratically elected government in a country under perpetual domination by outside forces. The only thing he'll be able to do, is reduce it. They've already signed the country into a lot of agreements, you can't just renegade on like that.

Just take a look at what Prokopis Pavlopoulos is going though in Greece to understand what's at stake.
This is why its a waste of time voting Buhari in in the first place, he is in London being endorsed by a western imperialist and notorious war criminal. How can such a person make any changes to the status quo? Buhari was removed from power in 1983 for refusing to kow tow to the IMF what do you think will happen to him this time around if he repeats the same action? Anyway all I know is that Buhari has been compromised, end of story, he will simply continue the destruction that GEJ, OBJ and other criminals have put in place.

We are simply replacing one problem with another one (which might be even worse than the original one, only time will tell), it would make more sense for Nigerians to simply engage in a mass boycott of the elections in order to show their complete derision for the whole sham that these criminals are calling an election.

By the way do you think revolution in Nigeria is an impossibility? At this point the average Nigerian has absolutely no stake in Nigeria in its current form.

Democracy is supposed to be govt for the people by the people, with power vested fully in the hands of the people - is this what obtains in Nigeria?

Yes, Thomas Sankara was a great man...and was definitely the Malcolm X and Che Guevara of Africa, in one. However, he had big dreams but his failure to play the game the right way, made those great dreams die with him. South America is a different kettle of fish entirely. Castro had Che Guevara, and the well trained revolutionaries - and also the support of the Soviet Union. And Chavez had the whole of Latin America, including Castro behind him.

They're all puppets...including the Fasholas of this world. However, when a situation is like that, and it's choice between different levels of puppets, you've to go for the safer pick. The incumbent has had enough time to build something, but he has failed woefully.So, how about try something new?

It takes a lot to beat the unseen hands, and the average Nigerian isn't enlightened enough for a real leader. Just pick between the two options, and be hopeful, he'll build something better than the incumbent.
How was Sankara supposed to play the game? Was he supposed to cut a deal with the French which would have made him a billionaire while his country men would have been left to die in poverty and hunger as is the case with Nigeria?

Rather than make excuses we need to learn from the people of South America, they had the same problem of corrupt leadership just like us but they rose up and kicked out their traitors. We need to find out how they did this and get organised, the revolutionaries of Cuba and Venezuela were ordinary working people who got behind a charismatic leader and vowed to fight to the end to rid their countries of western imperialist traitors, we need a movement in Nigeria that will organise and educate people.
