Will Black Race Be Able To Rise To Prominence? by MightySparrow: 6:02am On Oct 23, 2021
Looking at history of humanity from the historic era, power empires, kingdoms have come and gone. Nothing of real substance or global appreciation in learning, sport, art, have been attributed to blacks. When you talk about Olympics, the game and sports have tried to unite from all the world, things for relaxation. Nothing seems to come from black race.


Many times, the whites have been blamed for the predicament and underdevelopment of black race. Truth be told, if whites have not visited Africa, will we have been able to produce bicycles?

Years after independence, most African leaders still depend on whites for loans, security, commerce, and education.

Even now, can black race rise to prominence?
Re: Will Black Race Be Able To Rise To Prominence? by WibusJaga: 6:14am On Oct 23, 2021


They will but definitely not in our lifetime. Present events plus what I see in our youths do not give me any hope we'll get it right in the near future.
Hopefully as from 22nd century (as from year 2100).

A race that never introduced any known technology and couldn't cloth themselves until white man came? Is that a race capable of thinking? It can never rise.

Before the white man came, most black never had an idea of the shape of African continent until the white man came to explore it for them, conquered it and thought them. That's a race that is not intelligent enough to explore it's immediate domain. Most white at about that same time knew the shape of European continent and even Asia because they travelled and explored it. They had compass and sailors, even traveling explorers who wrote books describing cultures in Asia And Europe

To buttress what Ruke1989 posted, they have even mapped our solar system and beyond while the black folk only thinks about what he/she would eat or mate with next.

The few black folk that achieved something great in human history (think of inventors) did it with the help of the white folk, in the whiteman's land. On their own, black people cannot do shít.

As beautiful as south Africa and USA sound, go to the black populated neighborhoods and behold the slum before your eyes.

Black refers to the colour of your skin and place of origin. As a Yoruba man, you are black. Have you seen a white Yoruba man?

How much time? In the world today, Africa remains the dumping ground infused materials, ISIS, diseases, bad governance, banditry, etc. While the others are moving, we are not only stagnated but refrigerating. Youths whose hands are future are ill - equipped. Leaders of today are bad examples.
Besides, there are virtually nothing to learn from those of yesterday.


How much time! Japanese built a colony on the sea in 1889; NASA has just tested a machine traveling faster than light. China is doing wonders,,; Indians are making waves in medicine.

What phenomenal things are going on now, anywhere in Africa?

You are talking my brother! I learned, London, is about five times of Ibadan, everything works. The state of Texas is double of Nigeria in land mass, everything works. USA, has about five thousand Universities, no strikes, even The University of Cairo, has about 150,000 students, mind you Egyptians are Arabs, they are doing fine.

I begin to consider Darwin's theory. It could be that blacks are a bridge between apes and whites.

Black man is not capable of ruling themselves especially in multi ethnic society not when you are choosing you leaders based on ethnic and religious sentiment. You can't have a dunce like Buhari and expect that society to flourish. Take Nigeria as am example 90% her leader can not not win their town union president

First of brown is the color of my skin and yes I've seen white Cubans who spiritually identify as Yoruba. The term black was invented by the racist europeans to classify African American slaves in America and it's neither a real identity or grouping. Plus what wokeness are you referring to? Is it by not wallowing in self pity and taking up an identity created by some europeans that you consider as "petty wokeness"? Plus it's pretty stupid and dumb to say that blackness refers to place of origin.

The field doesn't have to originate from Yorubaland for a group to have influence in it. Most of these fields didn't originate from the "white" man you so dearly worship.

And what exactly is even race that you're talking about is it Johann friedrich Blumenbach's defination and classification you're talking about? One that is logically flawed and based off the skintones and hues of certain demographics. If Africans according to your passed down conditioning are blacks, What do we call dark skinned indians? Or dark skinned Australian aboriginals? You speak as if the vague concept of race holds more importance that that of ethnicity and cultures. You've been conditioned to think like a nigger.

Do dark Indians have African hair texture? Even the authority you qouted, is he a black man? Leave these arguments.

No they don't? But hair texture isn't a concrete justification of the term "black race" plus the authority which I mentioned is an european who coined the term race to mainly drive their racist agenda and brainwashing, it validates my argument that the term is flawed. And you're simply the one making baseless arguments full of ignorance and self projecting. There are continents that have never won the FIFA cup but it doesn't deplete their development or self esteem as a people and probably the individuals who built cities like Dubai and london weren't sitting on the sidelines asking when their cities would become like cities they consider advanced. Wtf is your contribution to the "black race" to even speak of that gives you a right to question it's development? Most of what you guys are simply doing is projecting your own insecurities because if you were rich, successful and adding value you won't be asking these stupid questions. Be the fvckin change you want be, Africa is the way it is because of people like you.

People like me are thinking out out pains, our unseriousness, lack of vision and director. Not to engage in argument brother. No, not at all. Possibly, maybe in your town, people are still doing open defecation. It is in Lagos, major cities. These are small problems not to talk of corruption dishonesty, wrong spirituality, vanity. Do we really have the morals, the will power, the discipline.

Years after independence, most African leaders still depend on whites for loans, security, commerce, and education.

The Black race will only rise to prominence if Black people stop being coons, sell outs and self sabotaging. The African man will connive with the Whites to keep his fellow Africans down. How can you rise to prominence when you are joining hands with groups of people like the Caucasians, Chinese and Arabs who don't even want you to rise to begin with? Other racial groups put their people first. They prioritize their own people while Black people will support other racial groups at the detriment of their own. No be juju be that?

Look at African leaders as a typical example. African leaders are instructed by their colonizers France, Britain, etc to create policies that will cause inflation and economic down turn in African countries and these African leaders agree. Our so-called leaders sell us out to the Caucasians, Chinese, etc for loans which they our leaders turn around and loot.

You cannot expect to rise to prominence when you are self hating. Caucasians are where they are today because they won't join hands with non-Caucasians who would want to bring their race down. Even when it comes to hiring for jobs, they (Caucasians) consider their own people first. In Nigeria, Nigerians will rather hire a White person than a fellow Nigerian with the same qualifications and work experience. No be juju be that? Take a look at many of the top private schools in Nigeria. Many have principals that are not Nigerian or African. Nigerians feel since it is a white face running the school, it means the quality of the school's education will automatically be top notch.

Until Black people begin to practice self love and love for members of their own race, they will continue to remain at the bottom of the barrel. Until Black people begin to support and uplift one another rather than seeking to tear down and destroy one another due to greed, envy and unhealthy competition, we as a people can never rise. Until we stop self sabotaging, don't expect the Black race to rise to prominence. White people did not get to where they are today by throwing members of their own race under the bus. Think about it.

Indians also speak and write in English, so do other countries in Asia that are doing well, plus if you're educated enough you'd know that there's no such concept as the "white man's alphabet" what you refer to as "white man's alphabet" has it's origins from Proto-Sinaitic alphabets originating in Arabia and north Africa the movement of peoples, political and social influences and events in history led to what you know as English alphabet same applies to the French, Russian, Yoruba and some other languages.

Skin color doesn't oblige individuals to have love or affinity for one another, we may share the same skin tone but science via genetics have proven that the Yoruba man and Igbo man are two totally different individuals, linguistically and culture wise it has also proven us to be very different. So why should you even group people with so much differences as black and measure the achievements as a single monolith group when both science and culture says otherwise... it's an intellectually rettarded and weak way of looking at things and same stupidity your forefathers accepted when they allowed to be grouped into a country of multiple groups of people and be called niggas within an area by some brits.

Okay, I spiritually identify as a white American. Do you hear how silly it sounds?

How many white people are from Nigeria?

You claim the British military is over 300 years old, at that time, what were Yoruba people doing? They did not even call themselves Yoruba until this British force used the name to identify the set of black coloured human beings they started to deal with.

As for my contribution to the so-called black race, I would not say because there is this culture of "drag him down" we all have which is why black nations are not progressive. Your leaders would see potentials to make society more liveable but would actively setup policies that plunged everyone except them into perpetual poverty.
