The koko of it all. The belief that everyone should like everyone does not exist. I recall Tensa20 told me about a popular Facebook group for black folks in tech. Guess what? The African Americans don't share job invites with black Africans. But the group was created by an African (I think Nigerian. Tnesa20 has to confirm this).

The same African Americans from what I read on Twitter would do anything to prevent blacks Africans access to the US, but befriend other races, who don't even like black people at all, and don't care to differentiate blacks based on nationality or ancestry. BTW, the reason Liberia had its civil war was because the returnee African Americans subdued the native Liberian population and impoverished them in their land.

So much for black solidarity. undecided If to say we even get one black dominated country like South Korea and Germany, e for better. Imagine arguing about racism when na we poor pass other races?

I think you should delve into the cause of that animosity. I saw it in University. And there was a good argument that Black slave descendants felt that Immigrants were taking up a lot of the opportunities put in place for slave descendants to correct for racism. In my school a sizeable percentage of minorities in my class were 1st generation immigrants. And, I do think, immigrants tend to be a self selected group.

I will share a bit of what i have discovered in my short stay here in Canada. Whites are very accepting of you as a black provided you stay within certain defined limits that exists in their subconscious minds. They are very ok with you working as a clerk, an entry-level officer in a bank or in a government agency or working as a support or care giver. They start rolling their eyes when you start breaking borders and moving into more traditional, professional roles which they consider their enclaves e.g being a lawyer or getting into management. You need to wear a thick skin at that level.

With black medical doctors and nurses though, they really don't have a choice. Same goes with IT. There's a shortage of professionals in those fields. I call them the "colour blind" professions.

With time, determination, a positive outlook, and having the right qualifications and skills, I find it's easier to break through those racial barriers than the nepotism and tribalism that exist in Nigeria.

You must have lived in Southside Chicago.

Do you mean the Japanese?

I respect them. I really do. They, especially the men, have been able to build a functioning society for themselves based on their cultural characteristics and norms. I applaud their tenacity, rule-based system and how the society functions. The women, especially young women, are facially beautiful. They lack the chubby features as observed in black women as a result of genetics, but from seeing them, you go know say suffer no dey disturb their skin. Why should it when they don't inhale generator fumes, enter poto-poto, sweat 24/7 and be exposed to constant noise

The society runs optimally, and we, as black Africans, have much to learn from them. I tell them this every time I am asked why Japan? But yeah, I admire what they have done for themselves.


There's an aura and class about Japanese people. This people are just unique and classic.

Racism any Nigerian faces abroad is not as bad or frequent as the tribalism they will (or do) face in Nigeria.

We are the dumbest race in the world, so people being racist against us is inevitable.

Good!

If you want to discuss it respectfully, I am happy to.

I can guarantee you that it is an argument you will lose, so I have no benefit in distracting from the points with insults. I would only insult you if you try that because you cannot win the argument or because you are not smart enough to see and accept facts.

So, lets go!

1. When I say Chinese are short people, does that mean I am saying every Chinese person must be short?

2. When I say people that live in Monaco are multi-millionaires, does that mean I am saying every single person there is a multi-millionaire?

Do those questions sufficient direct you to the answer to your question about me being included in the "dumb" class?

If you have any other question or opinion to use to direct the debate, the floor is yours.

Bro ... when you say we are the dumbest race in the world .... you are referring to Blacks worldwide.... compared to other races. What yardstick are you using to determine this? It is very dumb to make such a statement .... and dumber to try to justify it.

@ topic. Sent money via Western Union to a relative who moved with his job to a "White" town in Pennsylvania . It's a racist town ... Ku Klux Klan flyers everywhere .... Confederate Flags ... cold stares. With the usual ID required... they refused to cash their own money order.... basically because he was Black. M.O was returned to me and went to the location I bought it from in NYC for a refund. The elderly teller keep saying he sees no reason why it was not cashed ... and after I told him about the town.... he said he knew why but that shouldn't be. I visited there a few times .... you just will think twice before going anywhere and be very conscious of your colour and how you move. If and when you see another Black person.... it is automatic you introduce yourself to each other. I don't know how these die hard tribal people make out when they japa thinking they can drop their prejudices overnight.

There are measures one can use to judge intellect and make comparison with across races.

1. Via assessment - conducting intelligence tests or just assessing performance in educational activities. These shows we are the dumbest!

2. Via observation - by just looking at ability and history to deal with complexities, invent, solve problems, avoid doing dumb-shit, utterances and any other things that adds to or diminishes building a better life and systems for one's society. These also shows we are the dumbest!

1. Assessment. If a group of Bush men and a group of Whites are cast into the forest to be picked up 30 days later... which group do you think would be assessed to be more intelligent? Educational activities .... doctors ... why do Nigerians or Blacks perform better when given the same exposure? ... is this not about intelligence?

2. You need to educate yourself on African history.... if you did you wouldn't say what you're saying. Wasn't it dumb Africans that built the Great Pyramid in Egypt that the smartest in other races are to this day still trying to figure out how it was built? Inventions ... many if the inventions attributed to Whites were actually done by Blacks but Blacks were not allowed to hold patents.FYI ... let me give you just 3 very common things used worldwide that were made possible by Blacks. Try finding out how vaccines came about ... not who first produced vaccines commercially ... but who introduced the vaccination/immunization process. The GPS that we use everyday ... that's a Black woman ... still alive. Refrigerated trucks ... the ones that transport meat etc ... have you ever noticed the refrigeration unit branded " Thermo King"? ... that's the company of the Black man that invented mobile refrigeration. Our ability to deal with complexities ... 419 ers .... when they can hack into corporate systems with top notch securities and defraud them ... doesn't that show the ability to deal with complexities? ... and solve problems? Is the Western society better than that of the African society? How can a society of individualism be better than one of community?... an LGBTQ society be better? I guess it comes to one's preference.

If you believe that you are dumber than other races ... I wouldn't debate you ... but is not right to say we and include everybody.

Firstly you have a wrong mentality and it is obvious you are not good at creating systems of assessment based on what you suggested as assessment for intelligence.

I can ask you, if the same group set were put in front of X-boxes to play computer games for 30 days and the one that wins is the more intelligent. That will be an inane suggestion.

Please show me Nigerians or Blacks perform better when given same exposure. Please come with your reliable source and data. That is a must!

Secondly, explain to me who "gives" the exposure.

I wouldn't respond to all of this for now. I will only focus on the bolded because it is one of the dumbest shyt I hear from Black people every time.

If you ask a white person to give evidence of their progress and what they have done as a race to show they outperformed other races, they would EASILY be able to list and point to some events, achievements, civilisation etc. in the last 500 years to the point you cannot debate or dispute it.

If you ask Arabs, Orientals, Indians etc, to do the same, they too would be able to point to some events, achievements, civilisation etc. in the last 500 to 1000 years to the point you cannot debate or dispute it.

If you ask blacks, they can't. You will see that only they would have to go back 7,000 years to find any claims of superior events, achievements, civilisation etc. And worst still, is that they went back 7,000 years not to point to some clear black superiority. No! They would be pointing to achievement of Egypt, which anyone can dispute that they were actually black.

That is FUCKING PATHETIC! That, right there, is your evidence that the race is the dumbest and as dumb as Bleep not to be able to point to any INDISPUTABLE achievement for 7,000 years but instead are desperate to claim the achievements of some other people as their own, while other races can find great achievements in 1,000 years.

A whole continent that is the largest land mass on Earth cannot find achievements to point to, but would rather claim Egypt and argue "They were black". Fucking DUMB RACE!

7,000 years, no other achievement apart from the ones of other people you want to claim?

Civilisations rise and fall.... why limit it to 500 years? What have the Asians achieved in 500 years? .... or the past 10 000 years?... more populated than Africa? By your standard of measure ... shouldn't they be dumber than Blacks? Where were the Whites 1000 years ago? The Whites have pretty much been top dog for the past 400 to 500 years .... the time frame you chose to measure intelligence ... now the Asians are emerging to be the new top dog. I don't know about the race being dumb .... but I sure know when someone is suffering from inferiority complex and doesn't know.
