sexual assault isn't part of rap culture. We have many rappers with no such history.

See some rap lyrics below. Just some

Those who say it's NOT by naming your son Sampson, you see your life?

jaxxy:
Kanye can't do such. Sadly for her she'd not even Kanyes spec

Definitely can and very likely did. But it was part of rap culture

When i eventually reach the stage to employ assistants or P.As, I will do everything possible not to employ a female. Having a female P.A for a man is a recipe for temptation, same as having a male P.A for a woman.

Not in Nigeria. Here it's assumed you're fucking your PA

The One Drop Rule effectively disregarded any non-African ancestry and classified individuals with any African heritage as black. This erasure of their European or other non-African heritage meant that Creoles and mulattos were grouped together with African Americans and faced similar discrimination and oppression. As a result, many individuals with mixed heritage were forced to identify solely as black, even if they also had European or other non-African ancestry. This erasure of their identity and heritage contributed to the marginalization and subjugation of Creoles and mulattos within American society.

Well, the truth is that ALL African Americans are of mixed racial background and within the AA community itself people are not grouped by color (as you're trying to do) but by income, education, neighborhood, and such. Thus a light-skinned AA from the ghetto will be "more black" and more of a "brother" than a very dark-skinned AA who grew up with whites!
These below are ALL equally ghetto blacks from Compton. No one sees a difference in their color

GodisStriking:
My forefathers have always been brown skinned. Neither the Black African is my forefather nor the White Caucasian man. But I can understand your exclusion of brown skinned people because Africans hated Hebrews historically the Kemet people hated Hebrews because the Asiatics took over their land of Kemet. Yes the Persians ruled Kemet or North Africa for hundreds of years. After the Persians it was the brown skinned Greeks then brown skinned Romans then the brown skinned Arabs now rule most of North Africa. Hell even the Moroccans are brown skinned putting an end to the lie that the Moors were dark skinned black Sub Saharan Africans. I can see why those of you who are members of the African Lodge or should I say Prince Hall hate the brown skinned people. And Prince Hall was an actual Mulatto which you foolishly tried to label me but so is Obama a product of your blackness mixing and marrying whiteness.

Since we have been conversing you have never given acknowledgement to the brown skinned people even going so far as to pretend to not see color. Stop it. I know a lot of West Africans bleach their skin to become brown. They don't want to white they want to be a pretty brown color, which is the center of the color spectrum. Nobody wants to be pale white like the white marble statues of Jesus that signify White Supremacy. But everyone wants to be pretty brown even whites risking skin cancer tanning to be pretty brown.

Jesus was brown and all the prophets of God including Prophet Muhammad. But all you want to talk about is black and white as if those two colors of man are the only ones who matter. Exclusion is a deliberate act of discrimination, how would you like to see everyone counted except yourself?

Older skeleton remains have been discovered in Asia but despite the majority still goes along with the Out of Africa Theory because the social, economic and political structure supports it. This is done through Freemasonry, Jesuits and other secret societies that hate God and want to suppress the narrative of the Torah. The Torah is unbiased and pure science it says God created Man and never mentioned any Chimpanzees as having anything to do with it. But you know what does worship animals? Pagan religion. That's right pagans worship animal deities and even removed 12 constellations from tools in Sumeria to animals or zodiac in Kemet. Yes Sumeria the oldest civilization on earth where the Torah came from the Sumerian tablets had the first star map with tools used as symbols of the 12 major constellations.

I have no respect for pagan sciences for every science that came pure from God pagans perverted it to elevate themselves as deities. You really think the Earth goes around the Sun and is spinning? Yet you see the Sunrise everyday and travel across the sky then set up on the horizon. You feel the warmth of the Sun from East to West as you infer its movement. The day gets hotter by the hour until noon where it really gets hot, as the Sun is at its zenith, then the day remains hot until Sunset where the Earth starts to cool off. All science is based upon observation, measurement and inference, yet you are taught to believe an illusion. The Torah speaks the truth that the Earth does not move, the Sun and Moons are but lights yet you still cling to illusions. Those were illusions created by your idolatrous ancestors who tried to take the place of God. Yes the Pharaoh of Kemet thought he was God. This is why the white supremacists backs your false claim as being the birthplace of humanity because he thinks he's God too.

Once again, human beings are NOT naturally wired to regard skin color UNLESS they've been "taught" to do so, or unless something happened that was based on skin color. I gave you example of someone growing up in Nigeria, HOW will he learn to hate, fear, or be suspicious of white people?? Unlike an African American or some white Americans, whose parents tell all sorts of things at home b4 they've had time to form their own opinions. Then any slight thing in society reinforces what their parents taught them at home. Thus an AA will be seeing racism everywhere and screaming that US is such a racist country, while a just-arrived African whose best tippers are whites will not have the foggiest idea what he's talking about.

As for you being "brown skinned", my friend you are BLACK in US. That or "Hispanic" - which is based on ethnicity not color. In Nigeria you'd possibly be "white".
In reality nobody is white or black. Africans are brown. It's a spectrum. Except that in a place like US it's NOT based on color, it is based on if you have any black blood at all. No matter how white (or "brown" as you put it) you look, you are black.
So stop deceiving yourself. Unless you are from South America, you are BLACK, no matter how white you look! And part of your ancestry is AFRICAN - specifically sub-Saharan African!

Whatever color Jesus, Muhammad, etc. were, it was NOT important hence it was never even mentioned. It is important to YOU because of where you live and your upbringing. It was also important to white colonizers that he be white, and white missionaries because they know Africans would less respect god that has a common brown color like them!

Whether you have respect or not, science is science and is based on observation and evidence and peer review. You are still in the position of the church for which they hung Galileo. They have since apologized and acknowledged they were wrong, that the earth did indeed revolve around the sun.
But you are still back at "the earth is standing still" Can't you see there must be something wrong with you??

Afonjudas:
So you know it's dishonest but still want to take your child to it?

You are the definition of hypocrisy.

See who is talking. You know the monetary system is a scam yet you participate in it. So is the banking system. How about Nigeria as a whole. Your girlfriend could be scamming you as we speak, but you letting her scam you because you love her . You could be scamming a girl you'd leave your wife and marry her - she knows it's a scam but she likes sex... etc

Afonjudas:
Then it's not a scam
It's a choice

Like I said, if school is scam and you send your kids to school then you are everything in my first comment.

My friend stop talking crap. A scam is a dishonest scheme. That you're participating in it doesn't make it less dishonest. If you charge N2m per child and pay your teachers 60K, it's a scam! That I send my kids to your school because there's no better choice doesn't make it less of a scam!

🤣😂

I'm the opposite. I thought Tinubu was the only and original T-pain😅

helinues:
That might sound like a cliche but it's important to be sincere when answering question.

Afonjudas:
Don't go to school send
Don't send your kids to school


If you & the other bloke quoting me can't do these then you are my first comment

Just because I do something doesn't mean it is not a scam. I can see something is a scam but either I have no chance or it is too much trouble to avoid the scam.
Example: I know a person paying N2.5m each for his 5 year old twins to go to school in Lagos. That he's doing it doesn't mean he doesn't recognize it's a big scam!

Afonjudas:
K

Meaning what? How can he go back to traditional school (which is what we're talking about) after writing a book called: “If you want to be rich and happy, don’t go to school”??

Afonjudas:
Did he attend school before AND after saying this?
Yes or No?

NO!! Ridiculous question. And he didn't just say it. It is the name of his first book!

Afonjudas:
But Kiyosaki himself went to school before AND after saying this?

That's a lie. He said he regretted wasting time in formal schooling b4 writing the book.
If you think about it, much of formal schooling is waste of time. You spend 4 years learning what can be taught in 3 month boot camp, after which you should learn the rest in practice

FriendsAndFans:
You say "School na scam" now look at

Afonjudas:
People who use that phrase are those that failed woefully

NoToPile:
School has never and can never be a scam.

Treasure17:
Whatever you typed here actually amplified the phrase. Even Tinubu will type better.

What else is there to do? It's called band-wagon effect. But just because everyone is doing it doesn't mean it is the best thing to do. Read Robert Kiyosaki's book named: “If you want to be rich and happy, don’t go to school”.

*Above posters are confusing school with education

GodisStriking:
The Torah and Quran revealed by God to His people. The Bible came from translations of parts of the Torah into Greek, then Latin and finally English plus other languages. Hebrew and Aramaic have completely different meanings than Greek, Latin and English so much in fact its starling. I don't know where to begin but trust me once you discover the huge differences in meaning you would agree that the Bible isn't the word of God. Only the Torah and Quran can be taken into the Holy land of Arabia rightly so.

Africa became the birthplace of humanity only in the 1960s it's based upon the Theory of Evolution not proven science. Before the Out of Africa Theory, The Out of Asia Theory was accepted by archeologists and anthropologists worldwide. If you remove the hypothesis that Man evolved from Chimpanzee then the Out of Africa Theory also fails. So one theory is depended upon another like a liar telling one big lie then another big lie to cover it up. Man evolving from mammals can never be proven. The white pagans were simply paying homage to Africa because your great ancestor King Nimrod gave them their religion. White Caucasian people have never liked or obeyed the laws of Moses and are interested in idolatry. The white supremacists have made Christianity into white Idolatry the same way the Romans made it into brown idolatry. This begins my next answer to your inquiry about the overemphasizing of color in the West.

Idolatry is making images of one's self as a god. As scarification, jewelry and attire was used to distinguish royalty in Africa who viewed themselves as Gods, skin color was used within the Roman Empire by the brown skinned Romans. Yes the Roman royalty used jewelry and attire to single out the royalty status but they also used the color brown. The color brown was the symbol of beauty and power, the Slavics who were the whites were the Roman's slaves. The Mediterranean and Southern Europe is brown to beige. Let no man tell you otherwise, the Fayum Portraits should be your guide to as what the Greeks and Romans looked like, they were very brown skinned. The early Roman Orthodox Church paintings all show brown bishops, brown emperor of Rome, brown Jesus, brown Virgin Mary and baby Jesus and brown Israelite kings and prophets.

The Franks were brown who built the Frankish Empire on top of the collapsed Western Roman Empire. The Franks were the ones responsible for the creation of Catholicism which was based upon Arianism which condemned idols and also Jesus was a created creature not God. The whites were pagan Idolaters and they fought ferociously against the Franks who conquered Europe with Christianity. It took the whites centuries to gain power inside the Church and when they did they began White idol worship. Jesus became white and the entire heaven was painted and sculptured white.

I hope this helps you to understand color in the West is intrinsically connected with idolatry. Everything can't be explained with slavery. European people of color were never slaves that settled in the New World. The slaves brought from Africa were used to enforce White Supremacy through using them as cannon fodder against other peoples. Remember the book, Germs, Guns and Bombs, trying to explain how whites took over the world? I am getting you to consider that using black men as despensible soldiers, out front as cannon fodder, is what helped the white supremacists conquer the West. The same strategy is what the British used to colonize the Niger Area now called Nigeria.

*From your writing I can already tell you're a light-skinned Black American with a lot of white blood

1) I'm talking about Torah in the original Hebrew and Aramaic - there is virtually no mention of color because nothing happened on the basis of color. So also the Koran. The Egyptians, for example, were not a different color from the Israelites. Compare to your own writing, which is all-emphatic about skin color.

2) No one has ever said humanity originated in America or Europe. We are all agreed they came from elsewhere. The past doesn't go away. If you dig deep enough you can reconstruct the past. So, that man originated in Africa (or less likely, China) is NOT based on Theory of Evolution. It is based on scientific evidence - the oldest humans (NOT chimpanzee) who ever lived were found there!

3) Once again, I know it seems impossible to you but the ancient people you're discussing did not see color the way you're seeing it. People's skin color were not seen as a big deal the way you're seeing it. Which is why color is NOT emphasized in their writings. Just imagine if you were Josephus writing history as he did. People were NOT discriminated against based on skin color. They had other bases for discrimination. I bet you most of those societies had both light-skinned and dark-skinned but they just didn't see it - much the same way a Nigerian will hardly notice if another Nigerian is light-skinned or not, rather it is language, religion, tribe and such they'd be interested in.

4) It is funny how you see "Africa" as a monolith. A place full of people that are totally different. But of course if you're from America all you'll see is that they're all black - when in reality skin color is virtually meaningless. Just here in Nigeria there are over 500 distinct tribes and in most of them where there is any royalty at all it is NOT "distinguished by attire and jewelry"😆 Neither are they viewed as gods by anybody! Your knowledge of "Africa" is entirely from books and is very different from reality.

5) Early Christianity was against any type of images. Hence there were NO images of Christ. This lead to people later comming up with images based on their own people. Hence early depictions of Christ looked like a Roman emperor. The exception was when people were subjugated, as amongst African blacks by whites: it was comforting to them that the Lord was of the exotic color of the missionaries and colonialists NOT another common black-colored person!

6) Most of those societies you're discussing and emphasing color did NOT themselves emphasize it. You're all about color when they themselves did not see color. Roman empire did NOT discriminate based on skin color. Some emprors were "black", and some were "white". It made no difference to them. They depicted Lord Jesus, Virgin Mary, and the apostles, as both black and white!

GodisStriking:
Skin color and phenotype is connected with race and the Bible isn't the word of God the Torah and Quran are the books of God. Race is a crucial factor when it comes to culture and religion because each group of people have ancestors that either were Monotheism or Polytheism. Most people in the world practice Polytheism ancestrally and those values are in their genes. Polytheist people must worship and honor their gods or ancestors in order to have success in life or perform miracles. Just the same those of us who came from Monotheism ancestors must worship God in order to have success in life and perform miracles. Religion is connected to your race because of the spirits in your blood. Today we scientifically call this bloodline as genetic memory but it still works the same.


Dark skinned people started slavery not light skinned people. Ham the father of the Black race was the first to rebel against the teachings of Noah. Ham became an idolater in which Idolatry is making images of one's self as a god. The Hamite kings of ancient Kemet and Taseti created stone idols of themselves as gods, forcing their people to pray to them and recognize the kings as living gods. Is this not African traditions? The royal families distinguished themselves through scarification, jewelry and attire so they looked different than the common people. The Hamites also spread their control into Semitic lands establishing the Kemetic Empire, Canaan and Babylon. You forget that your ancestors were imperialists and not the peaceful, passive people who were colonized by white Europeans. The conquests of Africa by white supremacists was due to the constant betrayal of your people by traitors amongst them with their eyes on greed and envy.


The French King who betrayed the Templars was not a peasant he was of royal blood. His father Phillip III was king but he consolidated his power through marrying a white princess Isabella of Aragon. This gave the king an alliance with whites that would protect his dynasty from the other Franks in the South who previously held power. Phillip III was the first Frankish King to become a stone cutter and his son who betrayed the Templars followed in his footsteps. To be a stone cutter or Freemason as they are called today a man regardless of rank or title must undergo homosexual acts. The spirits of the cults, demons, must enter into the blood making the man worthy to receive the fruits of the cult. Is this not the same with cults in Africa? Y'all have been lead to believe the Freemasons are Christians but they are a band of pagans just like their ancestors the Stone Cutters .



Ancient Egyptians who are descendants of Ham invaded the land of Semuria colonizing the people and forcing them to worship their gods. The Egyptian Pharaohs established colonies like Canaan

Well, the OT of the Bible IS the Torah! And that Ham story doesn't jive with archeological and scientific evidence. Evidence-based science has determined that humanity spread from Africa to other places. And who is the father of Chinese? And Indians, etc? You think only in terms of black and white - because you're from the West!

Also, Europe is NOT the world. Neither Israel nor Egypt was in Europe. Can you explain why there is no color in the Torah nor in the Koran for that matter, since you say those are the words of God?
Just imagine if the Torah or Koran were written by a black American. It'd be ALL about race, and understandably so, because it was the basis on which they were oppressed and enslaved.

The truth is that humans are NOT naturally wired to regard color. Something has to happen for them to become color-conscious. In most places on earth division is not by color at all, but by religion, tribe, language, even height (Hutus and Tutsis), but in America and parts of Europe colour is big deal - they forget it's not so in other places. A black person that grew up in Nigeria has no reason to hate or be suspicious of white people, unlike a black person who grew up in US with family history of slavery. It's all due to their differing historical experiences, and you can't blame either group!

The King who betrayed the Templars his mother was white, his father the king him before his Capet dynasty needed outside support because the other Franks had too much power in the South of France, so he joined the white stone cutters, who came from the North. Europe was brown in the South and White in the North. The King who betrayed the Templars was very fair skinned compared to all the brown skinned Frankish Kings before him so he received the name, The Fair. The King was also a stone cutters like his father and was a homosexual. Homosexuality was a Whiteman's religion in Medieval Europe and a lifestyle for them which they practiced in secret because the law proscribed death to anyone caught. The King was morally envious of the pious reputation of the Templars who refused him membership because of his corrupt nature and affiliation with the stone cutters. The King has awesome powers to send his armies to arrest anyone and the King often accused his rivals of Homosexuality and Witchcraft the things he and his consorts were guilty of.

Sometimes when you have a son with a woman of another tribe he may side with his mother's people against his father's tribe. Was not this the case with Esau who sided with others to come against his brother Jacob? This was the case of the French King who was mostly white and even now he is a symbol for white Caucasians because he took their side. The Franks were pure Catholicism with no idols and strict observance of the laws of Moses but later the whites corrupted the religion.


As far as how the Europeans conquered Africa it's simple. The blackmen weakness is pussy and they worship goddesses. This idolatry allowed to many women to seize power and rule the land with emotions and not wisdom of a king. When wealth and property is passed down from mother to daughter the men can become too weak to form army. The Fulani who accepted Islam had a strong patriarchy and they were able to build large well armed forces. The pagan tribes whom some had women rulers were easily defeated by the African Muslims. I can give you a list of these conflicts if you like to know the source for my views.

Oh I know the source of your views - some conspiracy-addled, crazy-looking YouTuber.
One thing that escapes you all is that skin color was NOTHING in those days - exactly as shades of skin colour means nothing in Nigeria of today. That’s why you don't see anything about skin color in the Bible.
Skin color became important when a set of people with light skin enslaved or colonized a set of people with dark skin. To people enslaved and the slave masters skin color became everything. Before that people hardly noticed skin color.

OK, so the king was a stone cutter and peasant.
Begging the question, how then did he became King?

GodisStriking:
They're hypocrites. A hypocrites is one who has a secret faith. The European Caucasian whites whose tribes were Saxons, Basques and Celts, their ancestral religion was rooted in Babylonian worship when your great ancestor King Nimrod spread the religion of Cushites all over the world. Nimrod was s black man or African. My ancestors were Franks and they were light skinned brown race like Arabs. The Franks created Catholicism based upon Arianism which was declared a heresy by the Roman Empire whose religion was Orthodox. The Romans were ancestrally pagan Semitic people who appearance was light skinned brown complexion and looked similar to the Franks. The Freemasons are not Knights Templar they' were stone masons, white peasants who worked on infrastructure projects of the Templars and kings. But secretly the Stone Cutters were a band of pagan who hated Christianity, practiced witchcraft and Homosexuality. The Stone Cutters became official in 1717 and changed their name to The Free and Accepted Society of Stone Masons I e Freemason for short. Freemasonry is the Whiteman's cult and mulattos whom they fathered through African slave women they raised up to head the African Lodge.

And how you know all this is same way you know feminine Michelle is a man and covid that had bodies piling up was the common flu!
Wehdone.
So they were peasants. How did they defeat the Knight Templars and take over everything including black Africa?

GodisStriking:
Chinese are Freemasons, Russians are Freemasons, Americans are Freemasons and Nigerians are Freemasons. Freemasonry is the Whiteman's juju when the brown skinned Christian Franks outlawed his pagan witchcraft in Europe. You're the one who believes untrustworthy people.

Because unlike Nigeria the United States openly celebrates LGBTQ people as heroes. The Obamas are looked at as folk heroes of the LGBTQ movement and people protect their reputations defend them with lies and attack anyone who criticizes the Obamas. People who go against the grain are publicly shamed, lied upon and attacked financially. You know the power of mob justice and how it secretly can target someone because Africa does jungle justice too. There was a Nigerian movie I recently watched called, The Throne of Justice, the character stood up against corruption and he loss everything through a phony allegation and fake investigation. People are afraid that's why Michelle Obama's secret is an open secret.


And those weird people you see on YouTube probably are LGBTQ people doing satire. If a man is sucking a sausage behind closed doors and other gays know it they're going to understand that he is just playing cover for the movement. Gays are insidious.

My friend, are you a COMPLETE FOOL??! They were HIDING it!! Nothing LGBTQ hates more than someone gay pretending not to be gay!
And do you know what it means to run for President of US? Your opponents and the press would hire the best investigators to dig up even the minutest details about you, your family, friends, and anybody you ever dealt with!

Here's Michelle, born in '64 and transitioned in '92 (according to you). Meaning she was openly a man for 28 years - and her husband ran for president twice! DON'T YOU KNOW HER POLITICAL OPPONENTS WOULD'VE BEEN JUMPING UP AND DOWN SCREAMING SHE'S A LIAR, THAT SHE WAS A MAN??!!

Karleb:
He's right. You're right.

But please stop using the words genetic and heredity in this case. Those are biology terms and they have meaning.

Well, they are also English words and this is NOT a biology class or forum. The dictionary defines "hereditary" as: "Able to be passed on from parents to their offspring or descendants."
In that sense poverty is definitely hereditary. All things being equal, if your family is generationally poor you're very likely to also be poor unless you are "stepped out" or a powerful outside element intervenes

Karleb:
Oga. Leave science and focus on your philosophy full time.



Timidity, laziness, risk-aversion, obesity, various physical and mental illness, are all inheritable and are al poverty-inducing



While these are heritable, they are not poverty inducing.

You can be a mad man and still be printing money. Stop finding correlation where there isn't any.

@bolded, not when that madness has resulted in your people being generationally poor - especially when it is then combined with generational poverty mindset and other poverty-inducing environmental factors. The net result of all this is that poverty is passed on from parents to children, unless a very strong outside element intervenes.
As Kiyosaki exaggeratedly put it: "If you're poor, you will always be poor"
