The difference u are trying to make is trivial
He is a black American that's the most important thing,do racists spare "non-ethnic black Americans"

this is the problem you fail to see and accept, you're right that racists don't spare "non-ethnic black Americans". but black Americans are not hired at the rate asians and other europeans are hired even though they have the same degree.

For example, lets say there is a Vacancy in COMPANY A, you as a Nigerian have an Msc. in computer science and a black american also has the same with professional certificates but you get the job, when you are filling your acceptance form you are going to tick the box that says "black" or "African American" since there will be no box that says Nigerian, this means that when U.S statistics comes out it says that COMPANY A has one "black" person or "African American" or "person of color" in its employees but you know you are a Nigerian, you have indirectly used the fact that you are also black to take what is meant to go to someone who is Black American by ethnicity while you're sending money back home and your family economic status has improved due to the job, the B.A is still searching for and competing with other black people from all over the world who are benefiting from disguising as B.A.

O:bama is not black American, he is a black person who took an opportunity that's meant for an ethnic black american.

I hope you understand what I mean.

but after disguising as them you , fairheart, gwan2, dustmalik, Corroro, TrueNigerian300, 1Sharon, Shattuck, Chicastle, Blackmoran, mummyson26, Arkmanbuddy, chuksvoice, Nuel4, theshadowknows will come online and start talking trash about B.As when you don't know anything about what they are going through and how other black people are benefiting from all their protests and activism.

I do agree with some of the points that Gwan2 made,nobody is happy that blacks suffer discrimination but then are protests the solution ?
If the racism continues despite the protest what are u going to do ?
The best way to tackle this is to empower ourselves
If we fail to improve ourselves starting from fixing our respective countries then we are at the mercy of the white men and this is the point,if we keep being at the mercy of white people then we are doomed,we have to improve ourselves, our community and the country at large and it starts with taking responsibility. You are sent to the University do u actually study to become the best or u just sort u way out,tomorrow u graduate and u want to earn millions but then what value can u give,u are giving am opportunity to serve as a leader maybe at the SUG level in ur school,what do u do with the money u get,u think when u become the governor u would turn a new leaf.

See let's put our priorities, let us look within,there is no reason why Africans can't stay in Africa, rather than typing black lives matter,no disrespects awareness is important but we need more than that
Respect is earned, that is the way the world works whether we like it or not

You still don't understand.. didn't your parents hard work send you to school and get you to where you are today. when B.As built their own community in the early 1900s wh:ite people bombed the place over rumors that a wh:ite woman was raped there, go and read about black wall street or tulsa, Oprah did a movie on wh:ite people using B.As for experiments.

We are currently empowering ourselves but like the demon lugard said, "its better to use indirect rule to rule Africans". it's the job of African govts to put things in place but they are lackeys for the e:uropeans. private Africans are also doing their part, look at what Oyedepo did in Ogun and Kwara and other Africans building their communities.

Well I think AJ got it wrong
Emotions are like fire it can be dangerous,his statement was malicious in my opinion, he shouldn't have gone that far,asking blacks not to patronise "their" businesses isn't that creating more division

tot is correct.

AJ didn't get it wrong, do the br:itish buy crude oil from Nigeria or do they buy the crude oil from a br:itish owned company in Nigeria? if you can answer this question correctly then you're on the right path.

Unlike F:rance that boldly collects over 50% of earnings from countries they colonized and forces them to patronize only french owned businesses, the br:itish own companies in Nigeria and other African countries that they buy from, on paper it will be as br:itain buys Nigeria's crude oil and not br:itain buys from br:itain owned crude oil company.

Br:itain owns Nestle, unilever, British American Tobacco of Nigeria, Shell - Nigeria's biggest oil company is owned by them, UAC, e.t.c some of this companies are the biggest in Nigeria in terms of revenue which they send back to their countries and they buy majority of their products from this companies which means they are only given the money to themselves by patronizing themselves.

fairheart:
It is obvious you are bitter. How many black people have saved black people? Check your very own state of origin and community. As for waiting on Jewish Messiah, you should wait. He has extended His promises. You should really wait for your king, because your fellow black men will not save you; instead, they are looking for how to eat you and take away what you have. Peace!

abbey621 is correct.

before the br:itish left Nigeria, the Br:itish did not build one university, our number of primary and secondary schools were very low, br:itish did not build
smooth roads all over Nigeria , no housing estates, no plans for clean water for communities, majority of the private companies where owned by the br:itish and they only gave Nigerians clerical work which is what the education system they gave us is meant to produce office assistants.

All the developments you see in Nigeria today from Abuja to lagos to calabar to Akwa-ibom to oyo to Enugu e.t.c are all built by Nigerians, our parents, our grand parents e.t.c the br:itish left Nigeria to rot. Everything you, fairheart, gwan2, dustmalik e.t.c had the privilege of enjoying in Nigeria was through the hardwork of parents, grand parents, and other Nigerians, yes Nigeria should be a lot better but don't ever in your life rubbish efforts of Nigerians like your parents, grand-parents e.t.c.

you are talking trash about state of origin, what have you contributed to your own village, how many scholarships have you given to people in your village, that you're not doing anything does not mean other Nigerians aren't silently helping their own people.
