RighteousI:Even if it's fake (and it probably is), it's a good opportunity to inform people about how to handle those situations. |

Interesting encounter but I am not sure how that is "racist" Maybe a definition of racist is useful Perhaps ignorant and prejudiced yea But the same thing happens in Nigeria one way or another we just have the same skin colour. There is no shame in not ever having seen or used a dishwasher and thee is no accomplishment in having done so.. nearly 1 in 5 households in the UK had a dishwasher in 2018 . It is not really a necessary possession for most people Once you really know who you are it is impossible to be insulted by such encounters. Always keep cool and never lose your composure. Put it down to experience and reflect if the same thing happens again you are better prepared .What would you do differently? |

If only Nigeria had good leaders ,all this nonsense won't be happening... The truth is we Africans go to these countries abroad for a better life so you can't really blame the whites for thinking the way they do. Even if they don't say it out loud ,almost all of them see us as second class citizens in their country. |

Right001:I don't know why you niggers do this. The rubbish you wont take from your fellow blackman you will take from oyinbo. When he first disrespected you by asking ifyou know what a dishwasher was, that was your cue. But yous till went ahead to bond with him. That guy could murder you and those his friends will cover up for him. The o ly reason he apologised is so you dont report him and make a case out of it.... he may lose his job , etc It should never have gotten that far. You were busy shining teeth and trying to please massa the way you niggers do whenever you see oyinbo. Serves you right. Let this be a lesson to other coons on this forum |

Do you know how long since Nigerians have been going to UK to school. I know an elder of mine who was amongst group sent by NNPC around the 70s to UK to school, much later in life when i was schooling in Europe he told be watch out, cause in his time they purposely did not really teach them anything. His comment struck me, cause i never thought they would be that wicked , cause they were getting paid lots of money at the university . So that in my case the same thing happened on robotics course, both students and lecturers were working together to destroy my education, to the point that they get angry when they see me in library studying. I got a good job immediately after graduation, and everything that got me that job i learnt inside my room at university where i spent some money to make my own lab, due to racism i stopped going university lab. What got me job, was stuff i learnt working in my room. I was never aware of racism, so at one point i was going to see university shrink thinking maybe i have some mental disorder why all this oyinbo people acting this way. This is nearly 30 years later, i worked as robotics engineer for nearly 20 years slowly realising that the racism that i saw in the university was a warning for what my career would be like, I spent most of career as freelancer cause i knew climbing racist cooperate ladder is no go. IN the end i gave up freelancing too cause the racist wicked behaviour is even worse in hitech industry cause they hate to see you there, i gave up robotics cause i no longer wanted to work with that industry and focus on projects i can do with resource i have without involving any oyinbo, so i am now game developers. Write my games sell online no racists office to deal with I say that to say this, if you are planning for a future where you go and work for or with them, then you aint seen nothing yet. People only still go places like UK to school cause they do not know how much this Oyinbo people hate us, and they will destroy your life for gain and for pleasure. And if you make the mistake of having them for landlord, you better not sleep. The reason there are no big sign boards all over Nigeria warning people of the dangers of racism which is rapant in all oyinbo countries is cause Oyinbo run Nigeria and africa and the world. African Americans know them far much better than we do, and what you think is just racism , goes far deeper than that. A lot of them are into black magic and witch craft from very very young age, and some of what you call racism is them stealing your energy, stealing your joy cause it gives them pleasure, just like being tied up and bleeped gives them pleasure, just like killing women during sex gives them pleasure. Youre not supposed to be living in the same house with them, we are not that close. They hate us too much for that. And as you rightly noted the others always standby and do nothing when the racism starts. And to make matters worse if there is another Nigerian in that your house, most likely he would have taken the side of the racist and do something to make what the racist did to you seem small. Telling you from numerous personal experience. That is why i tell you, we the black race are on fast track to extinction, caue if you dont know why there are many English surnames in nigeria is cause all the Europeans around 1492 race war were kicked out of Europe and sent to America ,africa, west indies. The people who currently reside in Europe calling themselves European are the ancient barbarian tribes of Goth/Vizigoth and Vandal from north Africa , who invaded rome and the rest of Europe , which used to be black continent. So that for example the Irish are now called Jamaican . The Camerons of Europe are now in cameroon. As you can see the very word Vandalism, is derived from name of ancient barbarian oyinbo tribe called vandals. So that you get barbarian vandal racist behaviour, should come as no surprise. That last thing you want to do in your life is plan a future where you are working with or for them closely, and quite often abroad our Nigerian bothers are even more dangerous to you than even the worst racist. That should explain to you what has been happening to us for better part of last 500 years, cause were the people in Russia, Europe ,Asia, middle east, now we are only in west africa, and where the word human was reserved for us and not barbarians, now barbarians are called white people and humans are called black people. Cause Hue Man means man whose skin has hue of colour meaning dark skin. And as far as i can see there is nothing to stop us going extinct given we are surrounded on all sides by yellow racist that hate us, and very often our own people are more dangerous than the enemy. Your ancient black ancestors lost all their lands in Europe, Asia Middle east to the barbarians, cause they used to use them to fight wars against each other. And now even with their backs to the see in west Africa, very often your fellow west african is your worst enemy. If you dont know the history , there you have it, We are from a race of people who have fallen from grace cause the people hate each other. And part of the reason they hate black people so much is cause they see how cheap you sell each other out. In the words of former Israeli President Netinyanwu. |

Right001:The problem is u get too familiar and Cosy abit too quickly. British aren’t that way. They are always reserved at 1st even though can act friendly when it’s necessary. U take that to be ure now all friends bt no they are just acting friendly they don’t even know or like u yet. Acting friendly means nothing it’s just being polite instead of rude. |

RagnarLothbrok:You are lucky she didnt call police and accuse you of raping her. Even as it stands you are not in the clear. She can still concoct stuff up and say years ago you raped her. No evidence and its always their word against yours. That Australia I hear a lot of guys are languishing in jail because of false rape |
