sapele914:I saw them with my own eyes. America election, Black vote should remain divided unless one of the party makes a promise to do something specific for Black people. No party should act like they own the Blacks on a plantation like the Deomcrats did, it is going to cost the Blacks now not even the Demoncrats white who will all be MAGA with exception of the LGBTQ+ commmunity. |

Bliss4Lyfe:You are an eediot, just commenting ignorantly since. Stop embarrassing your gender Blacks support democrats because they pushed through the civil rights acts. Blacks don't support Republicans because they are the party of the South, Willie Lynch and co With your IQ of 70, you just sit dey tell a whole race as if they don't know who did what for them Before you mention a Republican ending slavery, just know demographics have shifted from 200 years ago. This is about North and South. Blacks love the North and it's people because that is where they ran for freedom and jobs, and South enslaved them Now check electoral map and tell me which party controls North and which party controls South. |

Bliss4Lyfe:When you have lived with those Akata people, one will understand that we are Africans like u rightfully asserted, & dey are Americans who just happen to be black. I’d rather be an African American & have the best of both worlds, than a black American, but Nigerian African is the worst of the three, my sincere apologies. |

If a white person enters America today and can't speak English, they are White Americans and will learn. On the other hand the Blacks are going the extra mile to differentiate themselves from those arriving from Africans. Like they themselves never arrived from Africa. All for the white man entertainment, because he does not care. |

Ibime:Removing DEI initiatives doesn't necessarily mean scrapping diversity and inclusion altogether. Instead, it's about re-evaluating how these initiatives are implemented to ensure they align with Western values and promote genuine equity. It's essential to recognize that DEI initiatives, in their current form, can sometimes prioritize group identity over individual merit and achievement. This can lead to a form of reverse discrimination, where certain groups are given preferential treatment based on their identity rather than their qualifications. The argument that DEI initiatives are necessary to provide opportunities to minorities is based on a flawed assumption. It assumes that minorities are incapable of competing on their own merit and need special treatment to succeed. This patronizing attitude is not only condescending but also damaging to the very communities it claims to help. Rather than relying on DEI initiatives, we should focus on creating a merit-based system where everyone has an equal chance to succeed, regardless of their background. This approach will not only promote genuine equity but also protect future generations from the potential pitfalls of DEI initiatives, such as reverse discrimination and identity politics. It's also important to note that the removal of DEI initiatives will not necessarily harm the Black community. In fact, it could potentially benefit them by promoting a more inclusive and equitable society where everyone is judged on their individual merit, rather than their group identity. Unless you believe blacks have lower IQ. Ultimately, the goal should be to create a society where everyone has equal access to opportunities, regardless of their background. We should focus on promoting Western values such as individualism, meritocracy, and equality under the law, rather than relying on DEI initiatives that can sometimes perpetuate identity politics and reverse discrimination. A good example is ISLAMISM. DEI initiatives will definitely be exploited to promote ISLAMISM. This could potentially lead to individuals with radical views holding influential positions, imposing oppressive laws, and undermining Western values. You're aware of the proposed congressional bill that criminalises ISLAMOPHOBIA, it's alarming to see legislation that could criminalize criticism of Islam GLOBALLY ( NOT ONLY IN THE UNITED STATES, WANTING USA TO ENFORCE ISLAMIC LAWS ON THE ENTIRE WORLD) in the name of ISLAMOPHOBIA. This is a serious concern that must be addressed before it's too late. |

A typical black American looks down on an African and they would do anything in their power to humble you for being an African. That's why I never supported that black lives matter movement, it was solely focused only on black Americans and nobody else... If such movement was started in an African country, I'm very sure that those black Americans wouldn't care. Bliss4Lyfe: |

The whites instituted more than 400 years of slavery but can’t bear 50yr years of DEI , what have Trump ever gotten on merit in his life ? He inherited his money |

BadBradley:I call your kind a victim of right-wing propaganda. They realised that people of colour are rising and taking positions once deemed too technical or exclusive—positions traditionally reserved for white individuals. So, they crafted a narrative, to white people, they claim that is anti-white. To Black people, they push the idea that DEI is anti-meritocracy, hoping to make you feel ashamed of earning what’s rightfully yours or taking a seat at the table. Surely, It’s very unsettling for them having people like Okonjo-Iweala (the first African and woman to lead the WTO), Mohamed Kande (the first Black man to lead one of the Big Four accounting firms), and General Charles Q. Brown, Jr. (the first Black man to hold the highest-ranking military position in the U.S. with over 130 hours of combat flight time) challenges their narrative, add to that the many Indian executives leading top tech companies. Do you know a research was done that when job applications from various backgrounds were submitted with names visible, white applicants had a significantly higher chance of getting hired. However during DEI initiative, when names were removed from CVs, the probability of the offer going to a white person reduced significantly. What does that tell you? Lastly, consider the Jewish community (or Israel) after the Holocaust. They’ve been provided with aid, immunity, protection, advanced technology, special status, they treated them like they are above everyone else which is still going on today. Why is no one complaining about that, or jews themselves suggesting it’s making them intellectually weak? Thank me later for spending my time educating you. |

Omotaday:I didn't read. You're a washed up fool plaqued by decades of radical leftwing abuse. You're the finished product of liberal social engineering. And your loftiest ambition is to be an economic asylum seeker in the USA and a canvasser for homosexuals and LGBT in exchange for a dollar. You're made in Hollywood, limited by science and logic but buoyed by emotions, sentiments and falasy I knew you would have voted for Kamala to justify why you were raised singularly in the absence of a father But then . .common sense will never appeal to you.
