REALITY101:
Yes they do but hardly last nor lead to marriage. That is if racism allows them to date black homies. .  But they re pretty anyways. .
yea, thats why i didn't pursue any further relationship with that Lebanese girl.  undecided Racial BS is just something i'm not willing to take in a relationship.

@ Pleep No I don't know the reason why black guys don't date Arab girls since I am not Black can you elaborate

Isn't there sone kind of societal stigma on the Arab side?
RomanceRe: Black Guys Would You Date An Arab Girl ? by pleep(m): 8:10pm On Jul 24, 2011
Haha this one Lebanese girl had a crush on me once and I liked her too. undecided I kinda regret not doing anything about it.
I think Arabs are generally more attractive than europen white ppl.

Anyway @ topic, i think you know the real reason alot of black men aren't dating Arab girls. wink
PoliticsRe: 5 Reasons Why America Is Worse Than Nigeria by pleep(m): 7:23pm On Jul 24, 2011
Nigerians in Nigeria are oblivious to the fact that they are living in a goldmine of oppertunities. Often after spending a few yrs abroad the realize this and come home.

Others remain ignorant and never return, sad.

America really isn't the land of opportunity, Africa is. Were else could you legally have a monopoly?

CultureRe: African Identity Crisis: A Must Read For All. by pleep(m): 7:18am On Jul 24, 2011
You won't find any other ethnicities.

I Think I can answer that question. The scaning machine can only read one oval in a column.  If you think it's prudent to have a seperate oval for ever concievable ethnic mixture perhaps you should advocate that. wink
CultureRe: African Identity Crisis: A Must Read For All. by pleep(m): 6:59am On Jul 24, 2011
Yes i'm a Nigerian. And if "you don't care" about the topic maybe it's better you didn't post mmk? tongue
anyway, that post I made about illiteracy was stupid & I apologise.

You can't find any other ethnicities because there aren't any. The 'other' box is for mullatos, obviously, case closed.
CultureRe: African Identity Crisis: A Must Read For All. by pleep(m): 6:52am On Jul 24, 2011
^When kids look up Average black act score and see 16.9 how do u think that makes them feel?? I don't give a damn about some idiot racial scientist.
it's damaging for black kids to see 17 as thier average compared to an Asian 23 and not have that tempered out by high African scores.
What do you think that does to the mentality of disadvantaged blacks who already think they are inferior?

For the record I know: (African & Asian scores are only high because immigrants tend to focus on education)

[quote author=BABE! link=topic=712305.msg8777685#msg8777685 date=1311484940]lol---Funny enough, it's not a personal problem. I'm not mixed.

As for the "other" box, I don't feel it's "right". It's a very lazy way of ignoring mixed people's genre. Plus I'm so sure that in most cases, "other" is made for minor ethnic groups/races (that are not included), and not for mixed people.

Who am I to call your issue a small matter? Well, I'm someone that doesn't really care about your issue. Plus, you're "black", aren't you? So, it's technically a small matter. Get over it.  wink

Oh yh, hope you know that "black" is not really referring to your skin color, it's simply a racial classification. There're light-skinned "black" people. So, again, get over it.
[/quote]I dunno maybe you don't find this important or you just can't read. Let me repost my rationale:

"
The lack of a seperate spot for Africans prevents us from displaying our academic achievements in the same way Asians are able to giving the impression that black people preform poorly in academics across the board. The average act score for blacks, Africans and A.A's combined is 17. I bet the average score for Africans is somewhere around 27. Which would be the highest of any group of Americans. (Asians have 23, north Asians 25 if I'm not mistaken)

it would be a deathblow to racism if Africans (pure black people) were shown to be the smartest racial group in America. And it would prove that low academic performance in some a.a groups is because of circumstances not inherabt inferiority."
now if you think your silly little mixed ppl issue is more important na wa for you oo.
This is not about race.

And why don't you name an ethnic group that isn't represented in the act ethnicity form?  huh Can you? No, because that's what the 'other' category is for. So stop spazzing out over a non-issue.
CultureRe: How Did The Populations Of The Igbo, Hausa, And Yoruba Come To Be So Large? by pleep(m): 5:53am On Jul 24, 2011
Oh I see you were already on that thread. The arochukwu supremacist grin grin haha I remember now.
CultureRe: How Did The Populations Of The Igbo, Hausa, And Yoruba Come To Be So Large? by pleep(m): 5:22am On Jul 24, 2011
Great topic, I especially agree with your analysis of the Hausa. There is this one thread that discusses that in detail. One unfortunate fellow, pagan 9ja learned he was Hausa by assimilation.   tongue

I had an huge argument with a poster named ibibio girl about the differences between ibibio, annang and efik. On this topic I made a while back: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-609355.32.html we also talk about aro-Igbo and why annang & ibibio think they are different. I think you may find it interesting, tell me who u think won  grin

anyway, I personally belive that annang, ibibio & efik are absolutly the same ethnic group. The differences are caused by proximity other niegboring groups. Efik cultural differences come from ekoi ppl ( who also practice epke) and annang/ ibibio differences come from proximity to the Igbo. Just like sone Igbo subgroups like the ibeno have cultural differences from the main igbo group because of proximity to the annang & ibibio. (like the fattening room practiced by Mgbede igbos )

In the 50's annang was even called " western ibibio" and efik was called " eastern ibibio"

^ oh great another A.A bashing thread.  undecided

OP, Please dont bring this up again, just search for all the other topics that covered the same subject and see where they went.
I also suggest you go to the U.S and see for yourself, & dont belive all u see on T.V

Just delete this thread. . . thats the best move. Because in a few hours the 3 musketeers will arrive and an all out war will ensue. . . ppl in glass houses shoulnt throw stones my friend.  wink
