You didn't provide the evidence he supports terrorism online. 'you gave me an analogy' is this the official position of the USA? Are you a paid propagandist?
Check the first page and see what the authorities explanation was.

Surely you know that singular incidents have led to world changing revolutions throughout history.

Does the name Rosa Parks ring a bell and would you have called those who reacted to her refusal to get up from a bus seat overly emotional? Surely you know the influence on the entire civil rights movement. Her action and the "overly emotional" reactions it received led to the civil rights movement and eventually the end of separation in America.

I can cite one thousand other examples but I am on the move.

Rather than be embarrassed for me, dig deep and put on your thinking cap good sir.
Hello there.
Your Rosa Parks example is embarassing.That whole situation was created by the civil rights movement and their communist backers to start the "not using buses" by the blacks protest for i believ two hundred to three hundred days.Good...very good but what really came out of that in the end?Blacks in America and elsewhere around the world are now residing in Eldorado?
I standby my first post on this thread.Personally,i believe there is really nothing more pathetic than a black person who is an integrationist.I wish you lot goodluck in your endeavours.

bold of you to assume the guy knows what the civil rights movement was he will now likely respond with some regurgitated charlie kirk soundbites this is what i was saying about social media 's effect on people
Lol @Emboldened
Charlie Kirk was nothing but an errand boy for the American elites.

Thereby helping them much more than their so called leaders have...... indirectly telling them to look inwards and build themselves up.
There are no Americans living in Nigeria, Sudan, India, etc?

It's not everyone who migrates for economic reasons you know.

America was founded by immigrants and built by immigrants.

No one says immigration shouldn't be controlled but trump is simply a deranged racist. Have you seen his cabinet? How many people of color are there?

No be skeleton, nah bones..

The Ref hasn’t done anything wrong. This is politics. And it simply because of that MN woman from Somalia background..

The other factor is this young Somalia refree has a few records to break if he was allowed. He’s one of the best FIFA referee, an international refree… That he was a black man is another factor..

If security is a problem in USA, then why choosing to host World Cup? World Cup wey many countries dey host without issues..

As you can see, World Cup is starting today and it’s not even like it is. What a F-up World Cup..
Normally I don’t pity those Somalians

They are one people that have said they aren’t black but want to attach to Arabs

They deserve what they get

WhiteIverson:
Is he the only African referee?
Why was he the only one denied?

Let him go and officiate a world cup game in Iran

By the way, Iran promised to boycott the tournament, so why are they still hustling for American visa tongue
Una too dey lie just to lick the behind of your Masters

Bring proof that the Iranians PROMISED to boycott the Tournament rather what they have always sought is a GUARANTEE that they won't be denied.

Between, they QUALIFIED for it and not INVITED. Meaning they worked for it.

They weren't hustling for it , the husling part was done when they qualified.

You still haven't gotten my point.....even if what you say is true, can he try it with Russians,Chinese,Germans etc?......why is Africa always at the receiving end of all the racism you're talking about almost all the time.....it only means that Africans are hardly rated and you know why.

Use the opportunity and anger to look inwards and do the needful because the west is tilting towards hard core anti immigration leaders nowadays.

Sire,your posts were tilting towards integrationism and you cited MLK jr's work as an example (Rosa Park et al) and he was also an integrationist.Though,he later changed his mind with the "I've come to believe we're integrating into a burning house" statement he made to Harry Belafonte before he was slain a few months later.

Are you familiar with the concept of racism?

They don't tend to look down on people who look like them. The most diverse color on earth is.... black. Shocker, I know. So racism largely targets black people, then brown people, then yellow people. Russians and Germans are caucasoid, while Chinese are actually paler than white people (the same Chinese are racist towards blacks but not to whites).

And then there's the denigrating assumption that all black African countries are 3rd world decrepit hellholes where the people are subhuman lazy criminal bums out for welfare and crime. Trump himself says as much.

It's all because of our skin color and the many stereotypes that begat.

Do you know that white people believe ancient Egyptians are white, no matter the evidence? Because they refuse to accept black people are so civilized thousands of years ago they can build the pyramids and sphinx. Either white people did it, or aliens.

Face it, negroid skin is a curse in the world.

I do not even agree with @MattSwaggz but you just indirectly proved him right with the emboldened.

If negroid skin is a curse in the world as you claim,then those with negroid skin should organize and construct their nations so that they will not have to be travel/live in countries where they are constantly humiliated and discriminated against by other groups because of their negroid skin.

The End.

I'm not against fixing our own backyard.

But that doesn't mean we should accept the subhuman label slapped on us. Rather, we should venture out there in the world and prove some of their stereotypes wrong. It won't cure all racist tropes, but it'll lessen the misconception

If we all stay home then they'll continue harboring their wrong perceptions, every last one of them.

I've bene in conversations with people who truly were curious about us and the more they learn, the more their horizon is broadened and they come off it different people.

Have you seen some of the videos online of white people tasting and even loving Nigerian cuisine?

Still not getting it right?...... respect is earned.....if any black country were to be as strong as those countries I mentioned no one will mistreat their citizens like that.....but then with how backward most Africa countries are haven't they been justified that the continent is mostly filled with third world countries?.

You'll need to be on par with them or even above them to prove them wrong....actions speaks louder than words.....and I can tell you this for free Africa is still far from being on par with them.

Gbam..... instead of directing one's anger towards the right wing leaders of the west,why not direct it inwards and do the needful..... China didn't get respect by demanding it..they worked towards achieving it.

Even the US was once colonized by UK but now UK dare not mess around with them..... people who haven't gotten to the stage of accepting their own shortcomings and working towards self development other than blaming others for their woes are still very far from redemption.

On the contrary, racism is not just about Africa as a place. African Americans don't have it any easier.

Doesn't mean we can't dispel the notion of loincloths and swinging vines and stone tools.

Artan was denied entry to the US at Miami International Airport on Saturday over unspecified “vetting concerns,” US Customs and Border Protection said in a statement, without giving details of the concerns.
Where did you get your analogy? How much are being paid? I'd like to get some too.
Re: FIFA President Defends Ticket Prices, Dismisses Referee US Entry Denial by Titogbanski: 3:45pm On Jun 11
Mattswaggz:
The US found some skeletons in the referee's cupboard just like I suspected earlier so everyone attacking them about that decision can now rest.

In the US, security is taken very seriously unlike here......they don't use emotions, sentiments or give a damn about what others will say when it comes to national security......if they found dirt on him no matter how small then it's understandable to stop him from entering their country.
Is this the reason why the Senegalese team was almost striped to their pant for searching?

So you think it is not fair to make rules that make players inconvenient,
But you think it is fair for the same country to allow in people who chant "d***th to America" as a national anthem and make posts on social media with respect to that, and also have links with terrorist organizations like Al-Shabaab, ISIS, etc., just as the referee did?

Is that what is fair to you?



If you are hosting an Association party at your house and a member wants the worst for you, will you allow the member to attend?
You know they will be singing the national anthem for every country at the world cup. It's not too hard to google the national anthem of that country to check if what you are sharing is fake news. These two countries have met in the world cup in the past. They shared flowers.

And to you, because they don't sing it in World Cup stadiums, they therefore don't mean it.

Well, Israel is necessarily dealing with them.

Can you provide the lyrics of their national anthem please? Maybe there is one I don't know about that you know and the world does not. Your claim was what I quoted. You said their national anthem is death to America

BTW, this is the first time a World Cup co-host, the United States, is actively engaged in an ongoing military conflict against a qualified participating nation, Iran.

The irony I remember when Qatar(supposedly one of the enemy of the free world) was hosting the World Cup and everyone was questioning their ability(they made a lot of compromises) on the contrary today the so called “leader of the free world” is doing the same wink leader of the free world and liberator of peoples indeed
Which of the compromise made by Qatar had to do with the security of their country
