[quote author=George_D link=topic=614669.msg7977525#msg7977525 date=1300975856]mojo, nerd,
you guys don't try to be coy. you know what i mean! smiley[/quote]Hehehe, you started its only fair that we roll with it.

mojounited:
It's always prepared like pottage meal - which kinda makes it special - with plantain, vegs and periwinkle snails added to the main course of the meal (long throat go kill me). . .I can still recall my granny's vigil/burial, I ordered a full cooler of dog meat + fish; the dog meat was kinda mixed with a potion of weed and some of my folks decided to shun the fish for the dog meat; little did they know they'll all end up sleeping from 5am till 7am the next morning (26 hours) lol. . .

You can see my face from the pp huh shocked You have cat eyes, I'm taking it down. .
lol, yes I have cat eyes.

@OP: Stop being such a douchebag and just tell her you want to end the relationship. All the time you spent reading the rubbish suggestion from everyone else, you could have sat down and had a civil conversation with her. Be the man that you think you are and just tell her.

@everyone giving wor wor advice:
You all should be ashamed of yourselves. For your sake, I hope you all are joking. If not the reponse that you've given the OP shows what sort of person you are.

The guy may not mean rap.e in his statement. I guess he meant fuc.k only, Just to tease his girl.
There's no way he did it to tease his girlfriend. Its quite obvious that the fool thinks that rȧpe and sex are one in the same otherwise he wouldn't have said it as he did. Men who say things like that are men who cannot distinguish the difference between sex and rȧpe!!!

RomanceRe: Women: Do You Find Good Looking Men With Ear Rings More Attractive? by InkedNerd(f): 7:44am On Mar 24, 2011
@OP: Hmmm, I guess it depends on how the person looks.

Atreides:
Nope.
I like guys who are clean-shaven.
Most times guys with ear-rings are viewed as irresponsible.
I know earrings doesn't necessarily mean the wearer is irresponsible,but that's the way most Nigerians will see it.
The way you dress creates an impression in the minds of people who see you,and whether this impression is right or wrong-it doesn't matter cos it'll stick.
If two men with the exact same qualifications came to me looking for a job,one wearing earrings and the other not,i would definitely hire the one without ear-rings. I might not even consciously know why i picked one over the other,but at the end of the day,Mr. Earring will go home jobless.
So if the guy with the earring is qualified and the guy without the earring is under quailed you would disregard the first guy simply because he has an earring?
CultureRe: Are Africans Proud Of Black Americans? by InkedNerd(f): 7:32am On Mar 24, 2011
Ron Oneal:
I am AA and I'm telling you, almost no AA identifies as Native American, to claim to have some ancestry from a particular group and to identify as that group are two different things and the occurrences you're talking about are far, far rare, not even common among African Americans, almost NONE identify as Native American, you want to see people of African descent deny their African roots? Go to Dominican Republican or some places in Cuba and Puerto Rico, but in the US that is rare to almost nonexistent, so please quit trying to trump up your rare occurrences among AAs as something that standard. If anything, there are people who look completely white who deny their whiteness and say they're Native American and thats far more common among them than among AAs. The fact is that some AAs do have Native American ancestry, but many do not, but to claim to have some Native American ancestry is NOT rejecting nor denying their African lineage. I know some Africans who don't even see AAs as truly black people, but those aqre rare, ignorant people so I don't even waste my time bringing them up. Your problem is a problem of misunderstanding,
I'm not trying to trump up anything so stop getting all up in arms because of how I responded. I was only pointing out that you should speak for yourself. Because you don't do it doesn't mean that a lot of other African Americans don't either. Majority of the African Americans who use the whole Native American bit, use it as a means of distancing and/or eliminating their ties to their African heritage. The intent to distance is an indirect manner of denying their African heritage. I understand there are people who are proud of being ethnically multicultural but in this case that is not what appears to be what is going on. I have yet to meet me an African American who mentions that they are of Native American heritage just because they want to proudly display they multethnic/multicultural background. I have no And I already know about people in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic denying denying their African roots, I live in New York so that stuff is nothing new to me.
Nairaland GeneralRe: Posting Real Pictures: by InkedNerd(f): 7:07am On Mar 24, 2011
Because there are some creepy people here who will copy and post other people's profile pics to their desktop or will use the pic as their own on another website. Oh and another thing, some people here are just flat out weird!! tongue

Where are you from by the way? I noticed in your profile, you said you're not Nigerian.
CultureRe: Are Africans Proud Of Black Americans? by InkedNerd(f): 6:55am On Mar 24, 2011
Ron Oneal:
To clarify some points here, some African Americans claim to have some Native American ancestry but almost NONE identify as Native Americans. there's a big difference between those two points of view. And again, when AAs say w're not African they mean it in the sense that they're not Africans of the continental type, no one denies they're of African descent and or black and we don't pretend to have arisen out of a puff of smoke in America. You Nigerians know whether you are Yoruba, Hausa, Kanuri, Edo or Igbo, AAs are just limited primarily to just saying African-American. African is such a broad term, so if yome one walks up to me and says they're African I will not know which group or country they come from unless they tell me.
What are you talking about people? I hear people just flat out deny that they're of African lineage [which really baffles me at times]. No offense but I think you should speak for yourself on the whole Native American issue. I don't think its fair for you to say that no African American identifies as Native American, just the mere mention of them "having Indian in them" is an indication of one trying to attach some sort of identification to the whole Native American thing. I remember when I was in high school and there was some girl who's great great great great grandmother was Polish. . . The moment she found out, she flat out said she was no longer black and that she was white. I couldn't stop laughing when she said it. In fact, my friends and I still laugh about it when we run into the girl.

[quote author=A.D.M. link=topic=626139.msg7974522#msg7974522 date=1300943282]I'm of African descent, Inked_Nerd. I mentioned my being Afro-American in previous comments. To be more specific, I live in the Sheepshead Bay/Nostrand houses housing project. It's bounded by Nostrand Avenue, Bragg Street, Avenue V, and Avenue X, with Avenue W and Batchelder Street running through the development dividing it into a four block complex. Lots of black people here, along with non-blacks. It's relatively safe and quiet. It's not bad. And I second your pro-African solidarity thread. smiley[/quote]Oh ok, well then I'm sorry for assuming you might have been of European decent. I didn't see the part where you mentioned being of African decent. If you don't mind me asking, what exactly is your families' background/heritage?

Now that you given me an exact idea of the area you're at, it's a bit far.

[quote author=A.D.M. link=topic=626139.msg7974348#msg7974348 date=1300938326]I thought I said this dumb thread should be ended.

Inked_Nerd, I live in the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn. I agree with your comment about some Afro-Americans claiming to be American Indian or part American Indian. It is sad and pathetic. The self-hatred I see and hear from some Afro-Americans makes me shake my head and ask, "What the f---?" It's your basic self-hatred: "I'm not African, I have nothing to do with Africa and Africans" and on and on and on. It's pathetic.
K.o.n.y., you're right about Afro-American culture being in other parts of the world, but the whole "Africans should look up to black Americans" talk is condescending and disrespectful. By the way, the Africans you're responding to are black, too. Duh!

This may come as a shock to some, but a lot of Afro-American music has African influences. Jazz music is one example. By 1808, the Atlantic slave trade had brought almost half a million Africans to the United States. The slaves largely came from West Africa and brought strong tribal musical traditions with them. Lavish festivals featuring African dances to drums were organized on Sundays at Place Congo, or Congo Square, in New Orleans until 1843, as were similar gatherings in New England and New York. African music was largely functional, for work or ritual, and included work songs and field hollers. The African tradition made use of a single-line melody and call-and-response pattern, but without the European concept of harmony. Rhythms reflected African speech patterns, and the African use of pentatonic scales led to blue notes in blues and jazz.

All this back and forth is getting us nowhere. I'm not a religious man, but for the love of God and everything that is holy, can we please put an end to this silly thread? How many times are folks going to talk about this?

Let's talk about something more important like the possibilty of a third world war.
[/quote]lol, sorry I don't wanna sound rude but there's no way this topic will ever end. Even if we all shut up and go our separate ways, someone else will start a whole new thread--it's a perpetuating cycle. When I first joined Nairaland, I saw old threads on this topic and I read through them and although this may sound odd, I thought it was amusing in a way. It just goes on and on. I agree, the whole "I'm not African, I have nothing to do with Africa and Africans" thing is pathetic and at times very annoying. It's actually quite embarrassing, especially when people from other ethnic groups here such things. Overall, as a black person its disheartening to hear your own people say such things. It reminds me of a Nigerian that I heard about in the UK, when people would ask her where she was from, the girl would tell people she was Brazilian meanwhile everyone who knew her knew that she's Nigerian and has absolutely no ties to Brazil.

Oh and lol @ the whole let's talk about the possibility of a third world war. Are you actually serious about having that conversation because that's something that's been on my mind for a couple of years now? undecided

So, you're in Sheepshead Bay. . . Hmmmm, your not too far from me I guess [kind of]. I hope this doesn't offend you but I'm pretty familiar with the ethnic make up of Sheepsheadbay so based on what this is it safe for me to assume that you might be of European decent? If I'm being a bit too nosy with my question, feel free to let me know.

pleep:
I second that. Let's stop the arguing it's pointless.
pleep, I'm sorry to tell you this but it never ends. How about we start a pro-African solidarity thread? smiley
