Jaubdu:
So I was wondering why our Queen are throwing in the towel for white man. I stumble on this interesting write up. Hope we black men can learn one or two.

Why? You don't get the bullshit some Black men give.

White men who are like-minded (educated, articulate, open minded, etc.) will not do the following:

Down your beauty while they uphold White women as the sole standard of it.
Call you Bitches, Hoes or Thots (Thot means “That hoe over there.”)
Make asinine distinctions between dark skinned and light skinned Black women. The idiotic phrases “Dark skin or light skinned girls be like” sickens me to my core.
In addition, having gainful employment is NORMAL. Attending college is NORMAL. No unemployed, uneducated Pookie from the corner living off of a woman types of situations.

Growing up and seeing this sickened me.

Yeah Brothers go to school. They play sports. But what do they forget about once they reach that success? Black women. Then what they do? Talk down about us worse than bigots.

Some of us (raises hand) ME and more Sisters like me could care less. I wouldn't have them in my bed so have at it.

I'll say the non MoC (men of color) I've met throughout my life have treated me MUCH better. They're not ashamed of our melanin. They love it. I LOVED my college years!!

When I stopped dating Black men many moons ago, that's when I began to be loved and respected for who I was.

I wasn't expected to live up to a stereotypical image Media conjured out of thin air.

The non MoC in my life weren't jealous that I was educated or expected me to be ignorant and ghetto.

They didn't laugh at how I loved JRR Tolkien, Charlotte Bronte or James Steinbeck.

I wasn't accused of trying to be White.

I wasn't called bitter when I spoke up about disrespect.

They didn't try to hold me down or back or make feel unworthy.

Do you have assholes in every race? Sure. Do you have some that will fetish us just for being Black? Yes, and I steer clear of them. They're sick.

However, I prefer not to be with Black, Jamaican, Hatian, African, etc men. And won't be.

Does it offend? Sure. Do I give a Bleep? Not at all.

I notice some get REALLY bitter and jealous when we date outside of our race.

Since they perceive Sisters as ugly and second class animals, they attempt project their asinine bullshit onto non MoC.

Nah. Save it.

They can't abide seeing us be treated with kindness and dignity, yet these are the same ones who are laid up with Becky with the good hair. *stirs tea* Yeah. Okay.

Why do we date White and other Non MoC?

We've grown weary of Black male antics.
We refuse to be labeled as inferior to White women due to their own self-hatred.
We've become desensitized to just about everything about them.
We will not be treated like trash, called names and disrespected.
We want to live good lives. Not in poverty.
We date them because they treat us like the Queens we are. Who wouldn't want that?

Now some Sisters will hold on to Black men no matter how much they dog them. They'll go to the grave being cheated on and exploited. Well, they can have all of that nonsense.

I've often been accused of hating Black men. I wouldn't go that far but *shrugs* I certainly don't care what they think of me nor do I allow my self confidence to rely on their limited perception.

If that's hate, they'll get over it. So yeah. I'm team Interracial. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
most of these don't apply to us here in Nigeria, I don't know why you brought this here.

WTF BOY!!!!!

You should have directed this post to the many Nigerians who started throwing insults towards black Americans from the beginning of this thread.

This thread is about the virus but some of your fellow re.tards saw it as an opportunity to insult us who are doing better than they are. Don't dish out insults if you are too sensitive to receive them back.

Who said Nigerians has anything to do with American society, what are you talking about? Nigerians are the reason Nigeria is grossly messed up.
The thread isn't just about the virus afterall P.diddy made some claims in that video. The thread was brought here for Nigerians to share their opinions, they did. Maybe you should have told the OP or the mods to delete the thread so Nigerians whom you deride so much would not have to share their opinions.


Did I ever say Nigerians have anything to do with the American society? Nigerians who live in the US and pay their taxes should have a say/opinion regarding the US you can't shut them up afterall they contribute just as much as you do.

Once again, your insults targeted at Nigerians will not solve your problems, both internal problems and external problems.

The average black american family that earns 700k gross income lives a better quality of life than a Nigerian earning 300k yearly. What about the Nigerians in America who earns below the poverty line.

Lets try this a little differently, lets compare the income of Nigerians who earn 300k with black Americans who earn 300k instead of the impoverished ones you love to compare yourselves with inorder to feed your huge egos.
WTF girl?

Easy with the way you insult Nigerians on this thread. The anger you exhibit has not and would not solve your problems. You and your fellow idiots on this thread who've been hurling insults at Nigerians, should take it easy and be careful.

You think Nigerians are the reason your society is grossly messed up? We have our problems, everybody all over the world does.

You should all find a way to solve your problems and not looking whom to heap blames on, whether you admit it or not; apportioning blames will never solve your problems.

There is universal healthcare for all in UK, just as in Canada that is funded by the government. But in the US healthcare is privately funded. Only kids below 18 and elderly is guaranteed healthcare by government. America practice extreme capitalism.
the Universal healthcare for all, does it cover every form of ailments and diseases? like whatever sickness you're suffering.

Personally I do not see much wrong with capitalism when you compare with the alternatives, I think something has to be done to lift blacks from poverty in the US and not these tiny handouts they keep handing them and stupid laws that make it seem like they're helping them whereas they're being given enough just to remain in poverty

You clearly lack the full picture. I was in your position once so I understand. I would point you in some directions and you can do further research.

Firstly, have you ever wondered why Nigerians and other Africans who emigrate to the US do so well? They are all blacks you know.

The American blacks have an oppressed mind set and it has cascaded down generations.

Have you heard of the 13th ammendment? That was the ammendment towards the freedom of slaves. Let me quote it here so you understand.

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

Take note of the part in bold. I know there was a crime at the time. I can't remember the name. After the abolishing of slavery, they needed workers on plantations. Think of half of Nigeria being farmlands with blocks picking cottons. All of a sudden, they are free. This farms would collapse. The crime simple arrested you if you were jobless or seen in a group doing nothing. Maybe playing cards. You would be arrested and returned back to the farm. Just imagine that paranoia and fear among blacks. Their self esteem and confidence would be completely eroded.

Let's fast forward. In the 1990s, Bill Clinton in collaboration with lobbyists built prisons all over America worth about $30b. The problem was, they did not have that many prisoners to fill it. They conjured a new law called the 3 strike rule. If you are arrested three times for a misdemeanor, you would get a long prison sentence.

It costs about $50k to manage a single prisoner in America. It's and out sourced service to the connected. No prisoner, no 50k.

I just gave a summary of the problem. Some of the crimes black commit are conjured to fill up the prisons. They have no confidence in themselves and according to the 13th ammendment, slavery was not abolished in totality.

Stop thinking they are lazy, commit crime etc out of choice. The system is built that way.
Wow this is insightful.
About the bold part, we can conclude that everyone in prison due to crimes committed is a slave right?

Also worsening it is the 3 strike rule, on paper it doesn't look racist but definitely has racist undertones. But it's a a very stupid rule to enact, especially for misdemeanors.

linearity:
In the UK unlike the US, there is healthcare for all, so everyone have access to take care of their underlying conditions. Blacks in the US only have access to the emergency room and when that happens, it is rather too late.

Also, because income inequality, blacks tend to eat poor quality food; it make absolute sense to buy a bucket of fried chicken that will feed the whole family, than some pounds of broccoli which is more healthier. Years of accumulation of these decisions leads to underlying health condition and with no access to healthcare, they start nursing these condition until a disaster like this happens.
how does the UK healthcare for all system works?

Because here in Nigeria we have nothing absolutely nothing.

Who pays for that in the UK? is it entirely free?

Because healthcare is expensive, really expensive.

If being an antidote to the brainwashed ipob miscreants is considered tribalistic in your warped mind then so be it.
I'm not anti Igbo, in fact to the contrary, I support common sense Igbos not the delusional retarded and brainwashed ones who sees others as their only problem in life.
I have a great and respected Igbo as an in law and we get along beautifully. I patronize Igbo businesses on daily basis and they are mostly great people. I often wonder why does these online miscreants come from because in my dealings with Igbos in face to face situations, they couldn't be more different from these ipob miscreants all over the internet.
So if you are one of thr brainwashed miscreants, then mend your ways, stop seeing everything from tribal and religious prisms. If you continue to do that , then don't complain when you get the same treatment back in return. You can show hate then expect love in return, it doesn't work like that amigo.

Nope. You telling me do my research makes me realize you don’t understand the research and reason behind why african American are disproportionately affected by this virus.
Maybe you really need to still take that advice once again.

It's apparent why the virus is killing Blacks in the US, even from this thread alone there's sufficient information to see reasons.

In case you missed it or it's hard for you. In short they're more affected because they're poorer than the whites. Their poverty is a multi-faceted problem. Also subtle racism has a hand in it too.

Summarily declaring it's killing more blacks than whites makes it seem like the virus is racist or it's selecting victims based on their skin colors.
It's just so unfortunate that African Americans find themselves in this situation, too too bad.

He’s saying the truth.

Now is not the time for all these. Fact is it’s killing more blacks than whites.
Fact is it's killing more blacks than whites, now the question you as a smart and educated person should ask is why is it killing more blacks than whites?

That's how some SJW out of no where claim men are paid more than women, they fail to ask why and how really. You'll come to see the facts clearly. But no, most of you will just take things halfway and carry it on without doing even the most minute of research to understand why.

Asking why is a very good way to get enlightened and see things from different perspectives so you can make informed decisions and of course opinions.

Well, WHO gave all those misleading information in connivance with the Chinese government.

To think that the world health organization has turned itself to the Chinese government's mouthpiece is bewildering. China that has never been taking seriously with issues like this in the past.

Right from the very first day China lied to the entire world regarding the issue. The lied to the whole world and allowed an estimated 5 million Chinese to travel out thereby spreading the virus.

China's public image right now is falling. To think that China will not suffer some consequences..... Why do some think that China cannot be punished for the poor handling of this saga? Let no one overrate them. Some nations are quiet now because their primary focus is to get a handle over the virus for now. China's consequences may not be immediate, but for sure this whole saga has betrayed their ill and aggressive motive for global domination.

It takes more than technology, military might, population to be a global leader like the US. Morality is a major factor which the Chinese lack.

Without a doubt, this saga will redefine international relations in more drastic ways.

Time will tell, and one is wise not to speculate in details.
you're right. It's strange for people to think China won't pay for misleading the world regarding this virus.

There must be an underlying reason. Those Nigerians have lived in China for years according to the CG. So what changed? Let's be reasonable instead of reacting based on sentiments.

Big market.

What surprise me is even when nigerian economy was better than this they could not make significant impact to break into the auto market.
its funny when Nigerians mention the population figure as a reason why we have a very big market. Bro we have a big market for some goods. Cars are expensive.

Out of that 200 million, how many can easily afford just 1 million naira?

out of that 200 million over 60% of it are either in poverty or living pay check to pay check, what we call hand to mouth here in Nigeria.

The other ones(say 20%) are just struggling to stay afloat, many can conveniently feed and maintain theit families but can't afford 'the luxury' of owning a car or would have to save for ages to do so. The last 20% are the ones who can afford to buy cars and stuff... that leaves every business such as the auto industry with roughly 40 million people as against your initial 200 million. Note that these figures are rough estimation and very certain the remaining who can conveniently afford a good car are much less than 40 million, infact the last 5 years has drastically reduced the figure.

The 200 million people population count would make sense if we're talking about businesses that sell food items or other commodities, not cars even airlines won't be stupid to do their calculation with 200 million people

bro no where in the world will you get a new car for 500k, even 1 million naira you can't get.

why do you guys expect his cars to cost that price when Nigeria doesn't produce steel which is one of the most important part of car production.

If you had mentioned 3m to 5m I'd agree but such a ridiculous price, they can't get a car with that money not even a used car sef.
