I would be careful about the bolded.
assault is assault. whether by a 'fellow' black kid, a yellow kid, a green kid or a purple kid.

Regex:


To think he was a friend to me. Tomorrow morning, I'll press charges.


The taxi guys one was Asian and the last one was white. He told he's lived in Gateshead and it was not pretty.


So I am going to pack out.

AirBay:

I am moving to Birmingham soon, what part of the city? So I can avoid those areas.

wallg123:

Not everything is about race. Not everybody with light skin is white. In Nigeria we call Indians, Chinese, Lebanese, Pakistani white (oyibo).
Also noteworthy is the fact that the Scottish/ Irish people are constantly being racially abused by the English white people. So when u want start playing the race card, be sure the idiots involved are actually racist and not just acting the part.
On a personal note I sometimes feel my father in-law is racist when he is drunk because of the constant jokes about Nigerian scammers other things Nigerian but then I blame the shayo

AirBay:


What led to this? I mean the punching, did he punch you without any provocation or argument? Were you trying to punch him as well? He "was" your friend

As advised, you need to to move from your current location, but try as much as possible to avoid any sort of issues that may have led to this, if not you may start preparing to move from your next location as well

@Regex:
Before I allow others on Nairaland to 'jump into conclusion' that this was a racially motivated assault, I would introspect and convince myself fully that it was actually so.

NOT EVERY BRAWL BETWEEN FLATMATES IN A FLATSHARE IS RACIALLY MOTIVATED.

There is a difference between a white kid shouting racial obscenities to/at you (during or after a 'fight') and a racially-motivated assault. You must be able to delineate the two clearly. If you fail to delineate the two, you would be left to feel as though the police are 'supporting their own' when infact, they are doing the right thing.


I would think very, very carefully.

Regex:


What led to this is that he's a narcissist, disturbing the whole house with his shenanigans just because the mother of his girlfriend refused to come settle him and his girlfriend. BTW his girlfriend's mother lives in the same house.

He comes and puts on loud music, leaves the kitchen door open both doors whenever he's doing his washing. All these, I couldn't take it anymore. I'm not against him getting at his girlfriend's mother, but he shouldn't do it at the detriment of others. We are 7 seven in the whole house, if we all starts being annoying like him, would he be able to take it? I closed the kitchen he left it open and he called his brother on the phone and his brother asked him what he was doing with a black guy.


Basically he punched me for calling him out as a racist.

Regex:


The guy na my housemate. He deh kolo

Alcohol usually makes people lose their inhibitions, so you'll then generally see (and hear) the real person.

Rubyventures:


One thing you have to learn as a Nigerian, is that when other people are brawling you stay out. Its none of your business.

Rubyventures:


What did you do or say that made him to punch you?

I noticed that nobody is asking this question, everyone is quick to jump on the racist band wagon. Although that comment about ape is a racist comment and unacceptable. Nobody just punches you for nothing.

Regex:


He's brother was on the phone and asked him what he was doing with a black kid.

I was broken because we do hang out and at that moment I thought I was just some black kid. Then I told him to his face that he's a racist. That's all. Dude punched me.

RalphJean:


1. His brother (ON THE PHONE) asked the question. Could you kindly let us know what HIS RESPONSE was, to the question?
What is my deduction from this whole story?
a. You and him have been pals (although you are miffed by his brawls with his girlfriend and others).
b. He did not racially abuse you. You overhead SOMEONE asking him a question.
c. You were the first person to call someone a racist, even though he has never acted as one, nor made any racist remarks at/or to you.


Brother Regex, as I mentioned earlier, it will do you a lot of good to stop seeing people based on the presence (or absence thereof) of melanin.

And to others on this thread, Before you begin to tell someone that a brawl is racially motivated, ask questions first. Unfortunately, we only get to hear an incomplete one side of the story, then we 'jump to conclusion'. Unfortunately, if the police are called on this case, and they conclude that indeed there was an assault but not racially motivated, we will start banging on about the police being "institutionally Racist"

Regex:


The whites will not even open the door of its someone they do not know... So what gives?

Regex:


Bro, I do not know what you are saying here. I know for a fact I do not view any body based on their melanin being present or absent if not I would not have lived here, I would have chose an all black house and lived there. I do hang out with this guy and do lift with him, even go on a long run with him. I never had anything against him at all. But for his brother to ask him that, that means something sinister has been going on. I find it hard to pull the race card, I have been offended a lot but I don't even bother... But coming from him...


When his brother said that, he didn't say anything other than, that's him.


Also I'm not suing him for his racial slur, I'm suing him for punching me. He threatened to beat me up.

Oggg:
If you need pounds, pls send me a message

Better go apologise to the boy and make up with him. If anything, he’s the victim in all of this, not you. A racist will not constantly hang out with you like you said he used to. Unless he suddenly became racist yesterday!
