[quote author=blue-sky link=topic=119436.msg2108101#msg2108101 date=1206963993]@chiogo
your question is still quite puzzling, so your asking, why do the black sit at the back of the bus? so u mean most black people in america sit at the back of the bus, regardless of age, gender, socio-economic group?
In the UK, its the 'youths' that sit in the back of the bus, if your in an area with a lot of blacks, then yes it would be the black youths at the back of the bus. if your in an area with a lot of white people, then yes it would be the white youths at the back of the bus.
I still don't understand why you would want someone to answer that question, im sure u already know why.[/quote]Yeah, some 'adults' too sit at the back of the bus. I've never seen a white person, whether youth or elderly sittin' at the back of the bus unless there's no space at the front but these black people just go straight to the back regardless. It's not about space bein' at the front or not, they just prefer to sit there. I am so serious. huh

One thing I don't get is why someone would think because they think one way everyone else should follow suit, I mean, that was actually an intelligent answer, in a contest like at, a bit of humour doesn't go a miss, would you have come up with such an answer under that pressure, no!
Thank you!!!

Damn, y'all are a bunch of haters. what's dumb about her answer now?? I'm not sayin' this Cuz she's from my state but if i were in her position, i honestly wldn't know what to say, I don't even know how many governors the state has had in 3 years or whatever.

You can wash a slave, give him new clothes and sit him next to George Bush but you can't wash away the slave mentality.
I have also noticed that on public buses . . . whites sit very close to the driver while the blacks head straight for the very rare (most often times to make a ruckus!).

There are several spin-off questions from this one too . . .
- why do blacks have hoods and whites don't?
- Why do blacks revel in speaking ebonics (a by-product of slavery)?
- why do blacks think using the term "nigga" is cool? The next time Jesse Jackson comes to ask another Imus off the air i'll scream.
- what does it mean to "act white"? Is education, good manners, proper command of english language an exclusive preserve of whites?
That last one is also my point. I'd rather be a geek than be dumb in order to act 'black' or feel 'cool'.

sorry, i just had to make that correction. wink
To a certain extent girl22 is right, a lot of the upheaval the world experiences today is as a direct result of European interference.

Isnt it funny that NO SINGLE European nation is skewed like much of Africa and the middle east? In most European nations, they have ONE majority language, ONE majority ethnic group . . . however in Africa you have nations with more than 3-4 major ethnic groups and over 150 separate languages . . . these are already recipes for disaster.

While the Europeans are busy developing we are still struggling with how to co-exist among ourselves. Why is Iraq imploding today? Because the Brits in all their wisdom foistered 3 completely separate groups of people and forced them into one nation . . .
While fairly stable Iran is mainly Shia and Saudi Arabia is mainly Sunni, Iraq is both Shia, sunni AND kurds who don't even regard themselves as Arabs!!

Can you imagine what a nation with 30% Jews, 25% Germans, 9% arabs, 16% English would look like?

The one European nation similar to us is Belgium which is half Dutch and half French . . . even they are already talking of secession.
L0L, well, I just learnt somethin'. She was right but that wasn't my point either way because the topic says to ask African-Americans questions and I
asked why black folks like to sit at the back of the bus.I was havin' this argument with uspry1 when girl22 quoted me and started askin' me if i knew how

the name Nigeria came about. Good thin' she asked 'cause i might never have known but last time i checked they are called 'African-Americans' too. Isn't it the same white folks who gave it to them?? If 'Africa' means whatever she posted why do they accept it too?? The word America is actually a Spanish

word, i heard which i don't know its meanin', neither do they but they answer it by the way, right?? These are the kind of things that are inevitable, you have no choice. My point is, why do they sit at the back of the bus?? C'mon, that cld be avoided now. Segregation is over so why do they now want to enslave themselves and later say that 'whites are not the cause of their problems but they do cause a lot'?? cheesy

girl22:
Its the same way you call yourself Nigerians despite the fact the British carved out the country called it Nigeria and told you, you were Nigerians.

Chiogo, do you know what Nigeria was called befroe the British renamed it. Do you know what your people call yourselves before the British named you Nigerians?

Do you even know what Africa was called before the European named it Africa?

The word Africa was derived from the one of the invaders who captured Africa. Who was also called so called Africans savages. So basically its an insult for you to even call yourself Nigerian or an African.
These were names given to you by people who called you savages.
No, honey. I may not live in Nigeria but i know that what u wrote above is totally wrong!!!!! The british did not give the name Nigeria to us. They formerly named it
'Niger area' or somethin' and when Nigeria got its independence, it was changed to 'Nigeria' by Nigerians not Britons. get it right. I don't know about your theory
about the name 'Africa' and your comment about christianity but last time i checked, Africans were the first people on earth. Even 'Europeans' originated from Africa
but some of 'em wanted to explore the world. . . so they started movin' to places and made it theirs. . places such as Europe. . . y'dig?? Take biology and study
about fossils and you'd understand. As for your comment bout christianity, I don't know who told u all Nigerians practice christianity. There're MUSLIMS, pagans, etc.
Nobody is forced to practice one, so what's your point?? I personally practice Christianity and i never said it's d best. So whatever suits one.

Look at the picture of modern city bus in the USA---every 50 states in a metropolitan cities have one at below:

That what I talk about! Every city buses are different sizes, colors, as well as painting-print advertisement on the bus.

Thanx for the pictures, those are exactly d kind of buses am talkin' about. So, why do they(blacks) have to sit at the very back??.
To easily get off, u say?? You cld easily get off sittin' anywhere and why are they the only ones in a hurry to 'get off' the bus?? It makes no sense.

@chiogo
Oh really, how long you been stayed in MA? Is this where you live in Boston MA as you stated all black folks sitting at the back of the city bus just like back old good at time of segregation days? You said they degraded and enslave themselves!

I had been visited to Boston MA few years ago---i do not see myself personally on the city public bus as well as train riding as you mentioned above quote.

That is flatly not true! What a laugh! smiley grin cheesy smiley

In every major cities in the USA, where public transportation provide, the reason why black folks enjoying to sit at the back of the bus is [b]BECAUSE IT IS EASY ACCESSIBLE TO GET OFF THE BUS STOP at the rear exit door, not because of segregation days habits! angry[/b]
That too, gave me a good laugh!!! You say they sit at the back to easily get off the bus?? what a joke!!! I don't know what kind@ bus u're talkin' about but
the buses here have two doors, one at the front across from the driver at the right and another in the middle(1/2 of the bus) also at the right corner.
Therefore, if u sit at the front, u can 'easily' get off the bus thru the front door. And if u sit in the middle, u cld easily get off also thru d 'rear door', which is actually
at the second-half of the bus. So, there's no excuse for them sittin' there. I believe it's an act of self-degradation because back in segregation times, only
white folks sat at the front of the bus while the back seats are meant for colored folks. Now,slavery is wayyyy over, so why the act?? Don't try to justify this act
because it is practiced only by ignorant teenagers and some of these old homeless people. It came to my mind when girl22 made her comment about white
people bein' a cause of black peoples' problem. I'm thinkin': how are they the cause of ur problem when they ain't even enslavin' u anymore but rather, u're
enslavin' urself.

My name is bein' mis-pronounced too and best believe it, no matter how many times u correct 'em, Americans wld always call it how they want to, ok??
Especially if it has lots of syllables. He probably calls his name that way too Cuz he's obviously a Nigerian-American and probably knows nothin'
about his name save for the fact that his parents gave it to him.

@topic, I was mad too Cuz i was really proud a Nigerian was on American Idol but I've always known America
is full of injustice. I heard he's already recordin' songs and goin' on tours now. So like i always say, it's not
always about winnin', so long as u were among the finalists, people'd always discover u. I've seen people who
didn't win on American Idol become more popular than the ones who won. So, it's all good. . . . . .
