MarieSucre:Honestly. I just confirmed once again that a majority of Nigerian girls are hypocrites and weild double standards. You know quite well he isn't talking of "Husband and Wife". He is talking of "boyfriend and girlfriend" and you know you just on purpose chose to manipulate the whole context. Please some of us are intelligent enough to see through y'll wimps and caprices. You don't always have to go against the truth when its staring at you in the face. PLEASE CHANGE! |

MarieSucre:He said the truth. I don't see the need for your question. I am a Virgin and i plan to remain so till i marry and I'm never going to settle for a lady that has hopped from one d!ck to the other. This technique you ladies use when we bring up the claim that we want morally upright wives by asking us if we were virgins is stale. Some of us still have our heads intact and would NEVER settle for a h0e (in this context: NON-VIRGIN) |

MrBrownJay1:Well your assertion that it makes "no damn sense" is subjective to you. Archaic? I guess that's what the white folks made you to believe. You have simply lost your idenity no matter how you try to twist the semantics. ... This is what western civilization has done to many parts of the world. And this is what is going to destroy the West. Trying to unify everyone under one identity is SENSELESS. Bruh!! You don't know who you are. You only know what the white man told you. African American?lol!! I'm Chinese African.....lol.. 1 Like |

tintingz:Lol. You're a very funny person. You know this is entirely a diffrent context but whatever suits your narrative is okay with you. How does this relate to the fact that we would lose our identity as butressed by you and Mr Brown when we intermarry. The both of you just proved me right. But you are fighting the reality that we are all unique and that its been lost. Enjoy yourself |

MrBrownJay1:This is what I'm saying. You don't have an identity. There is nothing like "African American". Your ancestors came from somewhere. But since you all speak English you think you are all the same. Very soon you'd say there is something like "Germanic French people". Lol what a paradox. Anyways enjoy your "misery" 1 Like |

MrBrownJay1:Lol!! important matters? .. You all just proved me right that the more we inter marry, the more we lose sight of our identity. It would get to a point we don't want to care about who we are anymore as we will adopt a unified form of identity. .. Black Americans come to mind. Most of them just know they are black. They nothing else about their identity. So long..... 2 Likes 1 Share |

tintingz:The problem i have with people like you is you cherry pick the part that suits you and leave the aspect where you know you're wrong. You just keep repeating yourself. And trying to say intertribal marriage doesn't mean culture will be lost. But then you and i know realistically that's not true. I don't have time for long passages. Just answer the question of identity. Isn't our identity lost? Are our values the same? If we don't share common values doesn't that make us neutral. .. P.s: if you keep up the cheery picking, repetition and long passges i would just have to end it here. 'Cos i believe I've made my point. Its your chkice now to face reality |

MrBrownJay1:This is not even the point. Yes identity is unique and is never shared. Yorubas believe they descended from Oduduwa. Chinese have their own belief. So don't go saying "I'm a product of intertribal mix". We have different values the moment we begin to mix we lose our uniqueness. I'm sure you know not all our values mix. Example Igbos do not believe in bowing down to greet. So when you encourage Yoruba to marry Igbo that culture is lost as they don't mix. See? MrBrownJay1:You don't have to lose your identity to become "open minded". Intermarriage doesn't change people i gave an example in the Op. What changes people is thier mimdset whether they intermarry or not. We are who we are. No matter the "vast cultural intake" happening. The moment we begin to shift we lose our identity. MrBrownJay1:What has discouraging intertribal marriage got to do with state of mind. What is wrong with you folks. Can't you see the point? So because i said intertribal marriages foster cultural extinction it means I'm narrow minded? All in a bid to sound western and politically correct you would let your culture become extinct. Well done. MrBrownJay1:Yes! A person's tribe a can be an obstacle. Especially where you share divergent views and your cultural values are opposed to one another. It shouldn't be encouraged for the sake of the kids. This is why many kids are now western. They can't speak their language because the parents don't share a common ground. Who said we can't have friends from other tribes? Stick to the point please MrBrownJay1:This your assertion here is mutual. I can say the same of all you wrote there too. MrBrownJay1:And if you don't share the same values. They should still marry all in the name of "fall in love"? This are the kind of marriages that produce kids that speak only english and don't have an identity (its not restricted to such marriages alone but it is condusive in such marrriges) |

Cherez:Culture evolves. Identity doesn't. The fact that the Yorubas believe they descended from Oduduwa is UNIQUE TO THEM ALONE AND CAN NEVER EVER EVOLVE. THE MONENT IT DOES WE HAVE LOST WHO WE ARE Cherez:The bolded is part of the point. We are losing our identity. Intertribal marriages even hastens the loss further Cherez:Those are exceptions, the fact your brother did doesn't make it acceptable there. And it doesnt mean its common. I'm also sure the "Chinese" is not the really Asian. Maybe Asian American. Am i right? Cherez:There are other ways to drive unity. Not at the expense of our cultural values and identity. And yes history? Any example where they encouraged intertribal marriage? Culture evolves BUT NOT VALUES THEY CAN ONLY BE LOST. Just the same way we are losing alot of them. Most of what you call "evolve" is simply our cultures been replaced and eroded like language for example. Like respect of elders for example |

menxer:The bolded. If Isrealited continued marrying Hittites what would have happened to them? Hittites would lose their culture offcourse to the Isrealites. Cause and effect. See? ...

tintingz:Please spare me! So you can't see those examples are exceptions. Don't you know there would always be exceptions. Besides do you know how long they've stayed in America. They are virtually Americans now. And it has nothing to do with being immigrants, Chinese and asian immigrants whenever they go are known to always keep their culture. That is why you have chinese villages, resturants and many more. How many 'original' Chinese can you say the same of? Or Korean? It's rare. The examples you would find are those whose ancestors were immigrants and their offspring have integrated with the existing culture which is rare anyway. tintingz:You're not being factual and realistic, you're talking about identity? What identity do offspring of intermarriages claim? You and I know from the many of such marriages that we know are mostly culturally neutral. The kids are neither here nor there. Infact in most of these homes they only speak English. tintingz:It is hard? What are you saying? The example i gave in the OP didn't you see that? How does conquering tribalism have to do with intermarrying. You don't have to intermarry to be untribalistic. Many of these people you're talking about hold inner biases and prejudices against their tribes and sometimes pass it to their kids. So your point here is subjective. tintingz:That's not entirely true. I have said it before "Discouraging intertribal marriage has nothing to do with being tribalistic. Tribalism is a mindset and you don't have to intermarry to be unbiased. You just have to reason. tintingz:Please don't even go this direction. You're off the mark and have completely digressed. If you can't differentiate between Values and Technology then? tintingz:Culture evolves but value does not. Identity does not. It's just like saying we all going to die but engaging in life threatening situations will hasten ones death. That's what intertribal marriage does. All the problems you mentioned there is a problem of Western civilization. 8 Likes 1 Share |

menxer:The bolded is what is going to destroy the West. The Asians understand the importance of protecting their values. This is why China will become the next world power. It is political correctness. We can never be united, we are different people, @the tower of babel unity of the human race was discouraged by "separating their tongues". Its suicidal to try to unite everybody in the name of being politically correct. We can only interact BUT OUR UNIQUENESS MUST BE PRESERVED.

menxer:Do you know what you're saying at all. Cultural values changes? That's the biggest joke I've heard this year. Farming methods and cultural values don't correlate. Values are found in respect, traditions, language, uniqueness of the culture from others. What you stand for, what you're known for THOSE ARE YOUR VALUES. So as a Yoruba boy we postrate to greet elders that's one of our VALUES. How can you say that should change? You're still confirming my point that cultural values are lost EASILY with this intertribal thing Besides what do you mean "how far i can trace that identity ? The fact that you even mentioned "YORUBA" you've contracdicted yourself. That's where the identity belongs. That's what makes me unique, that's why I'm not IGBO.

tintingz:I just knew someone will go emotional and leave facts alone. I guess the Chinese and Koreans who hardly inter marry are "backward" or you are more evolved than them. How does intertribal marriage preserve culture? What then is your identity if you are from different places at the same time? Discouraging intertribal marriage IS NOT EQUAL TO tribalism. Tribalism has nothing to do with that, it's a mindset and you can still be a tribalist even in an intertribal marriage like the example i sited in the OP.

I was having a discussion with a few friends yesterday. I told them emotions aside, intertribal marriages shouldn't be ENCOURAGED. .. Why? To preserve our culture, our identity is in our culture. I know alot of products of intertribal marriages that are torn between the question of identity. I once read where a lady from an intertribal marriage said her mom insisted she married her own tribe as against her dad's. In many intertribal homes there is this cultural neutrality, and many times there's a power play on the kids among the two in-laws. Even the bible doesn't encourage intertribal marriage, remeber the instructions Abraham gave to his servant and the fact that Jesus was sent to the jews ONLY initially. Have you wondered why the Chinese and Koreans do not marry outside their race, why do you think there is that cultural cohesion and reverence with them anywhere they go. ... My take is INTERTRIBAL MARRIAGES SHOULDN'T BE ENCOURAGED. What's your take? Please be factual and intelligent DO NOT APPEAL TO EMOTIONS. **modified** Alot of people are saying "culture evolves". Yes cultures evolve. But fundamentals like identity remains same. Culture evolves. Identity doesn't. The fact that the Yorubas believe they descended from Oduduwa is UNIQUE TO THEM ALONE AND CAN NEVER EVER EVOLVE. THE MOMENT IT DOES WE HAVE LOST WHO WE ARE 17 Likes 3 Shares |
