Of course, I wouldn’t have the forefathers do anything. When there’s a gun in your face, you act to save your life first. But there’s no gun in your faces right now and you still chose to exalt whiteness. Riddle me that please.

As we speak, a vast amount of African land is still owned by western companies as a result of colonialism. To this day!

We have nothing to be thankful for as a result of that experience. Everything we got from them could’ve been gotten through mutual trade. Our language, culture and currency could be more respected if they weren’t forcefully suppressed.

So Yes what’s happened has happened. I’m not here to split hairs about that. It’s the insinuation that we should be grateful that pisses me off.

Also, I’m not asking anyone to not strive for personal growth because their forefathers experienced slavery. Much contrary to the lies your right wing pals will have you believing if you stay here long enough. They’ll have you believing talking about such things is playing victim.

Temper! Temper!!

The below is one of my several responses to buda.

"It's not a sign of cowardice or weakness to acquiesce to superior force or knowledge"

What would you have our forefathers do? You said it yourself up there - they had brute force, better technology, firepower - etc etc. In war, it is the winners who live to write the story of how they won!

Now, these guys spared our forebears lives. They could have done to us what they did to the sioux and other Red Indian tribes in North America. Would you be here today if they had done that? There are some things we should be thankful to God (not them) for. We live to fight another day in a different way.

Great write up you have up there. Thanks!

Better for sanity my sister.

You said if it weren’t for white people we would still be consulting ifa for weather updates and agricultural tips. You meant that as a derogatory remark towards black people. I did not twist or misunderstand you.

All I did was ask you to research what you speak of instead of taking information from racist white sources.

We had/have lands and agricultural products in quantum that we could’ve traded respectfully with the white people. Instead they chose brute force because they had more sophisticated guns and we didn’t.

They took our lands and divided them into portions for their rich families to rename, amalgamate and rule over as they saw fit.

We didn’t need them to farm sustainably. And we never needed them for the weather. As a matter of fact, modern agricultural practices and weather technologies have tons of inventions from black people. A lot of British sojourn was in search of crops and spices that they didn’t have in their land or couldn’t grow themselves. So who actually needed who? What they’re best at is rewriting history to erase the contributions of black people.

I find it very disappointing that we as black women want to hold black men in higher esteem and everyday you guys come on the internet to convince us that you think white men are better.

It is unfortunate as well that we still have black leaders who are consumed with self enrichment (much like the pro extreme-capitalist ones on this thread) that would probably act the same way our current leaders are acting. Never thinking of the common good but all focused on personal gain.

Coco, I hate it when you get my point all twisted and misunderstood. Now, can you take a step back and check where I posted anything derogatory about blacks - and our black ancestors? Please, quote me.

Now, to be clear, all our chats are about colonisers and whatever benefit they brought to us. Some (buda and her friends) have argued that they brought only misery and evil to us. benalvi and I think otherwise. At best it's a mix of both - good and bad. Nothing about slavery. Let me stop there so you can see reason with us.

You actually think black people don’t have any inventions to their credit? All you have to do is look it up and not take your information from your white master.

Just off the first search without any deep research, you can find hundreds of inventions by black people. None of these actually include the ones that weren’t credited to the true black inventors due them being property of their white slave masters at the time.

Literal shame on you weak men.

First buda, I hope you are not the one who banned me last time I tried to respond to your posts.

Now, I am not the one who woke up one morning, communicated in English, dressed in clothes that are alien to my culture and tradition - and suddenly felt bad and ungrateful about everything I have received from my "colonisers"! It was you and your likes on this board.

I am grateful to them for what we have gained from them - medicines, Isaac Newton with his breakthrough Calculus and mechanics, nuclear physics, engineering, etc etc. This is real progress we can all see and there is no denying that it came from them.

Left to you and your likes, we should be consulting Ifa or some dibia in Awka to know when it's going to rain, or why our crop yields is not good, etc etc.

Funny thing is that your type benefit from what these guys offered and yet you open your loud mouth to complain on end how they are bad and treating you badly!

budaatum:
America seems more, me myself and I.

Collective good sounds communistic, to some, especially to these Nigerians who are not so used to paying tax.

Exactly

When you mention something that helps everyone, they start crying about how it is communism

bayelsaowei:
Fight corruption itself rather than kill initiatives that are good. Scholarships aren't bad. Corruption is what is bad.. deal with corruption..

Killing or ending scholarships would be like throwing the baby and bath water together.

We all have benefited from one form of scholarship or the other.. and we were happy. you think someone who's parents had nothing but benefited from government sponsored scholarships would be saying the same thing your saying ?

I cant believe i am arguing these things with folks who may not be earning more than a million dollar a year.

Its shocking

They’re temporarily embarrassed billionaires 🤣🤣🤣
Elon and co have them convinced that they’re one good investment away from being like them. So they support measures that oppress the actual economic class they belong in. Because they believe the problem is from regular people like them not the oligarchs who are the real leeches of American society

Imagine speaking of the good that came from colonialism and slavery like there’s no other reality in which white people could’ve traded with our ancestors.

We had/have immense resources, art and raw materials that could’ve been mutual exchanged for some of their newer technology that we didn’t have at the time.

Imagine thinking us learning English is a sign of development. When they could’ve have also learned our language just as we learned theirs in order for trade to go smoothly.

The kind men who currently think some “good came from it” were the exact kind of men who traded their sons and nephews for shotguns and whisky because money first obviously. And if you’re not capital minded at the cost of everything else, then you are playing a victim. SMH.

ijebosb:
This is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of some of the nonsense they spew here.
It's like arguing with a homeless drunk mentally ill person about what it's like to currently own a home.

I'm proudly Nigerian.
So, I feel profound sadness for them and then disgust at them, that they are so broken, they hate who they are.

You’re finding out in real time why I blocked them so they don’t have the satisfaction of quoting me with some low IQ level nonsense.

Unfortunately I can still see the asinine posts when I got to post a comment but at least they can’t address me directly with some nuisance air headed BS.

They’ll tell you that if you don’t stick around to validate their 60 IQ delusions, you’re running from “the truth”.

RodgersAkpafu:
These are what you lot call facts ?
Lmaooo. All these chest thumping and bravado is what is characteristic of low level thinking

but you olodinhos are still on the USA is boss and others are kissing the ring bs

RodgersAkpafu:
These are the calibre of people that I should be having conversations with
Smh

The ones who believe that colonisation brought "good" to the colonised

Yes he wants to provoke a reaction so he can declare martial law. If he’s not careful, that’s what will consume him. This vendetta he has against people who don’t like him will most likely be his undoing.

It’s a violation of the sovereignty of Chicago.

Where are the states’ rights hypocrites now?

BTW i am so glad that Zohran is on course to win the Mayoral elections in New York
He has a bright future and is exactly what that city needs

The problem is that you’re black. The racist white people and their black kuuuns are convinced black means less than. You can’t convince them otherwise.

Even when you have same or higher qualifications, any position you occupy must be due to DEI.

Obama Care or as it is known, the ACA is not a failure. It provided millions of people with affordable health care and provides no money for undocumented residents.
Pls do not let any liars tell you otherwise.
Once someone has shown you that they have no qualms about lying , believing them any further is a deliberate risk on your part.

RodgersAkpafu:
So the British people who are scattered the four corners of the world, what makes their case diffeent from mine ?

They migrated
I migrated too
They are educated

You see why I say you have low racial self esteem
They are working in thr middle east, south east Asia and even in cape town

I am rooted in Britain and sometimes dip into continental Europe

We are peers as far as im concerned

He hates his skin color and the lineage he came from.
It’s so obvious in everything he says.

Imagine white people travel to our countries and get VIP treatment. But we should be grateful for being allowed to exist in their spaces.

Such a proliferation of weak and pathetic men on this thread. Tueh

Stephen miller pretending to be glitching on national television because he put his foot in his mouth is premium entertainment for the day. Dude, we can all see you blinking.

Plenary authority my peach.

Republicans gonna republic

First amendment in the trash I suppose

GloriousGbola:
May as well be naija police at this point.

There are several videos of ICE instigating violence even against Chicago police officers.

But she signed the big ugly bill! Someone needs to collect Republican brains whenever they pass away to study them.

These mofas gotta some of the dvmbest people to ever walk the face of the earth. From their highest level to their grassroots. It just shows you that no one needs any special qualifications to be a republican leader. Just a handful of slwo pokes rounded up and given positions based on how loyal they can be to drumpf.

How is she vituperating against lack of healthcare access to Americans when she signed the bill that will take healthcare away from Americans?

Jesus pls come back today we’re tired

bayelsaowei:
But Raumdeuter says America is doing fantastically well as regards health care than the EU..



The Republicans should keep up witht their lies and wickedness..

Idk who’s surprised but I’m not

Bodycam footage from the Chicago ICE shooting shows a chilling moment that directly contradicts the agents' official story. Before opening fire, a Border Patrol agent taunted Marimar Martinez by saying, "Do something, b*tch," as he abruptly pulled over and immediately shot her 5-7 times. This explicit verbal provocation throws the agency's claims about Martinez being the aggressor into doubt and highlights a reckless and hostile attitude from federal agents.

Instead of Martinez ramming the agents as claimed by ICE and DHS, court testimony revealed the agent had rammed her vehicle first. Within moments of the collision, the agent jumped out and fired without warning. Authorities initially insisted there was a loaded gun and that Martinez was a threat, but prosecutors later admitted she never brandished her firearm, and her concealed-carry permit was valid. The factual record shows a pattern of misleading statements from law enforcement seeking to protect their own interests.

The left is outraged, seeing ICE agents not just as dishonest officers but as dangerous thugs abusing power and targeting protestors with violence. This episode reignites calls for zero tolerance of lies by law enforcement and demands independent scrutiny. Community members and advocates view these actions as part of a broader assault on civil liberties, especially in cities with vibrant protest movements standing up against aggressive federal tactics.

Checks out

IjeBos:
You mean posts like this.


I can't even imagine why someone who has never stepped foot in a red state or blue state would speak to what issues Black people would have.
It's the height of hubris, speaking about a safety issue when you have no real understanding of it and then being wrong about it.
Proudly very Loud. And proudly very wrong.

Obsessed. That’s the only explanation lol

RodgersAkpafu:
You beat me to it
I live in one of these multi ethnic cities and we all get along fine here

That’s what red state dwellers have against California.

In California we have hella LatinX, Russian, FilipinX, black and of course white. And everyone gets along well except the occasion rural Californian white person who thinks they should be the default.

Whenever you see the red state hill bills ranting about California, they can’t even explain to you what they have against the state.

bayelsaowei:
and the person who spewed that annoying statement may not have lived or visited Germany.

Thats how one told me that the Chinese economy is crumbling bad because of Trumps Tarriffs..I laughed hard.

And I asked him, is it the USA's economy that is flying high successfully?

I told him that the moment the Chinese economy goes down, then it means the whole world's economy including that of US would shut down.

They always know more than the people who are actually in the places they are talking about.

After living in Germany for a little while, I wouldn’t even dare speak on German politics let alone do so authoritatively.

People seem to get a kick out of being armchair analysts. all loud and wrong

14 years old! Imagine that.

Honestly if I were a teenager, I’d emancipate myself from my father if he ever opened his mouth to say that a time when young black kids could be legally put to death signed by a judge etc was a better time in American history.


What weak leadership would he be providing for my family if that’s his mindset?

GloriousGbola:
Where a CHILD could be lynched

He was 14 years old.

There is another kid George stinney who was accused arrested jailed and executed.

My son was the same age when I first read of this

This is actually the goal when conservatives defund education, go to war with Wikipedia and loot museums. Erase history and pretend it never happened

People like Charlie Kirk would have you believe Civil rights were a 1 and 0. Suddenly appeared out of nowhere, rather than the results of a decades long struggle




This is all you need to know about the so called benefits of being black before civil rights. People would literally separate from their entire families so they could have done form of peace in a racist society.

RodgersAkpafu:
Seems like this thread is a right wing cesspool

Time to hit the unfollow button

No point further engaging here

You get?

And then they want you to validate them with legit conversation when all they do is lie through all their holes.

Imagine bold faced lying saying that German economy is collapsing. 4th economy in the world at that? If I haven’t lived here for over a year now, I’d have believed there’s some truth to it. Same way I used to listen to their obsessed anti-California rants until I moved there myself

As an American yes you might make less money in Germany than you do back in the US(depending on your job). But the wealth is more evenly distributed and things are cheaper here.

Even with my dollar that is weaker than euro, I still get more bang for my buck as far as quality groceries and household goods are concerned.

These people are compunctionless liars and any conversation that’s not mocking their ghoulish behavior is not worth the effort tbh.

The audacity to even appeal the conviction

Lord have mercy

feedthenation:
---Supreme Court rejects Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction---

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s challenge to her criminal conviction for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein.

The decision means that Maxwell’s conviction on three counts and her 20-year criminal sentence remain in place. The case was one in a list of dozens of appeals that piled up in recent months that the justices rejected as they started a new nine-month court term.

This administration requested the private data of over 3 million South Carolinians including the last four digits of their social security numbers.

They sued him for attempting to breach their privacy and Judge Diane Goodstein ruled against him.

Yesterday her house exploded with 3 family members in it. The injured are currently in the hospital.
BTW She’s considered a “liberal” judge and her husband used to be a democrat senator.

Connect or don’t connect the dots.🤷🏽‍♀️

They don’t have even enough personal integrity to process what you just said and be like “oh wait maybe he’s right”. They’ll find another position to twist themselves into in defense of the indefensible.

IjeBos:
The founder's mistake was expecting/hoping for an Educated population, quasi moral leaders, and a Congress that would protect its powers.
The lack of those things ushered in Trump.
There is so much mealy-mouthed inconsistency from Conservatives who preached a big game about things like States Rights.

Look at what Trump is doing with the National Guard.
The founders were distrustful of a standing federal army, that was the sole intent of the 2nd amendment. They wanted the states to have the means to push back if the Federal Govt ever tried to encroach on their sovereignty.
But the 2nd Amendment warriors are the ones now cheering Federal Intervention in states.

And these southern states who said their sole purpose of fighting the Civil War was to protect "state's rights" are now asking Trump to send the National Guard into their states.

At least we fully put to bed the idea that the Civil War wasn't about Slavery .
