Who cares?!?! If you can't finish your own, send it to me. I just ran out of garri not too long ago |
[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! [/quote]Hehehe, you started its only fair that we roll with it.mojounited: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. |
segunjowo: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!!! |
olgabb87:lol yupp, ya gotta deal with it like the rest of us .By the way, welcome to Nairaland my African sista ![]() |
Well, we're all human beings so yes beauty fluctuates--its just some look better or worse than others. |
@OP: Hmmm, I guess it depends on how the person looks. Atreides: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? |
Ron Oneal: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. |
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!! ![]() Where are you from by the way? I noticed in your profile, you said you're not Nigerian. |
Ron Oneal: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. [/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? ![]() 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:pleep, I'm sorry to tell you this but it never ends. How about we start a pro-African solidarity thread? ![]() |
I have a fear of yeye people ![]() |
pleep:Yeah, the name of the documentary is "Aron Ranen's Black Hair Documentary Part One" >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p96aaTSdrAE There's also a updated follow up to the documentary. Its called "Aron Ranen's Black Hair documentary Update . PART ONE" >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT-nX25UrsI. Here is the link to the UK version of the first documentary. It pretty much talks about the beauty supply industry in the UK >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SICRkQzww5Q&feature=player_embedded . I have yet to find the entire documentary for the UK version on Youtube--I'm still searching though . |
mojounited:Wow, I've never met anyone that eats dog meat. What's it like? As for your picture, its not entirely clear but I can see part of your face and the camera in your hand ![]() mojounited:Good point. Here's another one, for those who eats goats, I guess it makes them goats as well |
Twix!! |
Mmmm, now I'm hungry |
Kgdavid:Of course it was. |
blink182:Yes, that's what I think. chi21:I didn't ask whether or not she wants me to like or hate it. Its still my opinion. I didn't like the outfits, so what? Is that a crime? |
