She's wrong in this scenario.She said "A white man should decide what's racist or not".Wrong, the last time I checked racism is not bespoke to be experienced by black people only. As a world renowned Novelsit that She is, I expected her to articulate her point without been confrontational.Throughout the US election period, we've seen tv political commentators supporting Clinton and Trump sit side by side and it's not been confrontational and I've not seen them directly attack each other. 1 Like |

Trump just pulled a Buhari 'change' on Americans, saying what he wanted them to hear. I enjoyed how she tackled that oyibo man sha, you could see from her features that she wasn't buying his crappy explanation. I don't think Trump is racist though, he just says it as it is,he didn't exactly lie, did he? He says what most people are too polite to say and maybe that's not such a bad thing . We need to hear the truth sometimes but I doubt he can act on it. To me Trump is an arrogant spoiled obnoxious man who says and does what he feels like and seems to get away with it. Chimamanda sef messed up when she endorsed Buhari that time, I still haven't forgiven her for that one. 2 Likes |

MarieSucre: Our ancestors didn't build any foundation for us and instead exploit our resources to develop other civilizations. What the whites did might be nothing to applaud but you have to remember that they bought some of the slaves from black kings. We sold ourselves out. We are the victims are they are the victors.

I need some help here: what exactly is racism? Is it something you say or do? And how precisely is Trump racist? Mind you, I'm not saying he is or isn't. I just need some schooling on how he is racist - because I know that blacks have said worse things about one another than he did. Yet, blacks can't be racist, can they? If Obama weren't black, I'm sure we'd call him racist for standing by and watching police brutality against blacks mount. But hey, he's black and therefore not capable of racism. What do I know? The American press greatly misled us in the run up to the elections by selling us untruths concerning the standing of the candidates. We must be careful to ensure that they don't continue to mislead us, post election. 1 Like |

I don't believe in racism, we are all human beings. Racism is just people hating on each other regardless of colour. What will you say about our different tribes in Nigeria? Nigerians are more racists against themselves than any other, and we still the black race. Racism is overrated. |

hahn: If I sell you chocks gotten from a lecturers office does that exempt you from responsibility? No! And I think it's disingenous to stop just at the part where we sold slaves to them. You skipped the part where they camped ships at the shore of a lot of riverine communities and forced them to give up the sovereignty of their land and the ownership of the resources therein. You skipped the part where they themselves organised raiding parties to gather slaves. You skipped the part where they forcibly fused different tribes under a single geographical entity just because they were too lazy to rule us separately and they were too stingy to disburse funds to rule us effectively separate. And years after they have left we are still feeling the tremors of this forced union. So I think you do yourself and your generations to come a disservice for this dishonest defense of a reply you wrote here. 6 Likes |
