Davido is Nigerian...not Black American.


His history and experience is very different to the Black American experience.

Thus Confederate flag means absolutely nothing to him. Why should it?

The funny thing is that the Yeezy brand is owned by the Black American Kanye West - If Kanye is selling jackets with Confederate Flag on it, why cant Davido buy and wear it?

I never knew before now that Kanye was rolling out a clothing line with the confederate flag branded on them.

Kanye is crazy though..

I agree Davidoo does not share the AA slave history, still does not make it alright for him to to be insensitive (Deliberately).

Its cool though.. I see the point you and Sweetcocoa are making.

Every single person moaning about this issue needs to understand that Davido will probably never be a victim of racism...

Oprah Winfrey was once a victim of racism.
That flag was pulled down in South Carolina recently and the state Congress apologized.
Why should Kanye be producing jackets with such insignia.
Pls enlighten me, I want to know bcoz I'm yet to see a jew either producing or wearing Nazi inscribed jackets.

The Confederate flag: a symbol of racism for some, but a fashion choice for Kanye West.

The rapper was spotted Saturday wearing a jacket emblazoned with the flag after being criticized for featuring it on merchandise for his current “Yeezus” concert tour, People reports.

In an interview Monday with Los Angeles radio station 97.1 AMP, West explained why the former flag of Southern states during the Civil War made its way into his merchandise.

You know, the Confederate flag represented slavery in a way – that's my abstract take on what I know about it,” he said, according to People. “So I made the song 'New Slaves.' So I took the Confederate flag and made it my flag. It's my flag. Now what are you going to do?"

Oprah cannot be a victim of racism.

Victim bawo?

If you're referring to that shop incident....Oprah chose to walk away from the shop because she was shown cheaper bags than the one she wanted. The backlash forced not just the owner of the shop, but the Swiss GOVERNMENT to issue a public apology. grin

There is a level of money you get to when you can never be a victim of racism. Davido is there right now.

Yes, it should be taught as part of our difficult history, but brandishing it all over the place is highly insensitive.

That Kanye wore a symbol that glorified slavery doesn't make it right.
People even criticized him for wearing such, only for him to come up with defiant excuses.
Is he the first to sing about modern day slavery.

What is wrong is wrong, no need making excuses.

Look here, blacks are ready to move on n forget all about racism....... But will they allow u....
Look at what is happening in America......a black person commits a minor offence, and the next thing a white police officer shoots u or drives u to suicide.
A teenage black boy is going home, a white thug confronts him and kills him.
The law says both the policeman and the thug did the right thing.

Yet u want blacks to keep silent..........

One wonders why the US would be cautioning others for Nazi insignia, when the confederate flag still thrive in the USA. And this reminds me of a line in a song.

"Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK"
.

I think somehow, even though we were not in the slave era and we also didn't go through the trouble our forefathers went through. We're still bound in our minds. Just the knowing alone binds us.....

I'm bored today again. I need ya celestial message for this youngin running with Confederate flag, whilst invoking the ghost of hundreds of thousands of black folks left to die in concentration camps in Mississippi after the American civil war by the confederate states and the thousands lynched under the same flag during Jim Crow era.

I think it's similar to Prince Harry and how he was running around with Nazi insignia but you can always give Harry boy a pass cos he has German ancestry and the whole Hitler/Nazi story depends on what side of history you want to believe. Some believe Hitler did what he had to do to save Germany from the Jewish bankers and the hole the country was in after world war 1, while others believe he was a cruel maniac. But the Hitler never really sent his most powerful forces to attack the UK and he sent them to Moscow. And some believe it was cos of the royal family.

However, what do you think about a black person with a confederate flag insignia?

Don't sound naive my friend. Money can never erase racism in some climes. Is Davido richer than Samuel Eto,Prince Boateng even Danny Rose from England that have all been victims of racist abuse and chants? It's goes beyond money my friend.

In as much as the flag represents racism and all the atrocities committed against black folks, and Jim Crow - it is no different from the official US flag when it comes to slavery.

The confederate states weren't the only US states involved in slavery - the unionists were also slave traders/owners. Heck, all the founding fathers of America owned slaves.

And it gets tricky when you find out that a lot of black folks fought and died for the confederate states under the same flag, just as a lot of black folks fought and died for the unionists. So it is matter of opinion, albeit the Jim Crow era put a nail on the coffin of the confederate flag. But that doesn't negate the fact that this flag and the official US flag are both slavery flags, if you want to get to the nitty gritty of it. And if you've a problem with this one cos of slavery, then you should have a problem with the official US flag for the same reason.

Regardless, running around with a symbol of Jim Crow, racism, and the lynching of thousands of black folks isn't a wise thing to do.

Wow did I just read this? The official U.S flag represents slavery? Bro, what ya' smoking? We might as well say the official flags of all African countries represents slavery because Africans sold each other first before Europeans ever thought of it! If you truly understood what racism in the states did to the mentality of blacks, you would realize just how horrible it is to even condone anything that represents it's core value. The confederate flag is a symbol that still reminds many white supremacists today what they had back in the days, it is a source of inspiration for them. The mere fact that a Nigerian that's supposed to be a symbol of inspiration for his fans is so naïve of his heritage to the point that he would wear something which shows the world he's exactly the way the white man sees him, "an inferior piece of sh*t!"

[b]that confederate flag symbol has deeper meaning and the true meaning of it is only understood by those in esoteric circles. that symbol has existed way before america was created as a country and was used by the blackamoors. yes it is a symbol that suggests you are destroying a people but it is a symbol that is passed down from empires to empires depending on who is on top. it is a symbol for the ' oppressors ' . when the blackamoors were oppressing whites in spain and portugal they had the symbol and then it was passed down to the southern confederate states who were oppressing the blacks in the USA and when USA falls the symbol will be passed on to the next oppressors. point being the symbol does not belong to the white man but it is an agreed upon symbol in esoteric illuminati international circles to be passed on to the oppressors. now this symbol was retired in the south last year officially because power change is coming, and davido and kanye west wearing the symbol means power is returning to the black man. not all black men but the black messiahs are coming. so this symbol has been worn by kanye west and davido and best believe they did not choose to wear it because they felt like it. some illuminati type controlling their record labels told them to wear it to convey a message. this world is controlled by esoteric symbols.[/b] wink
