She has no sense. It's not like slavery was a choice. There are somethings you should not say. He might has well have been your brother if some of your people didnt stupidly conive with the the Europeans to sell their people (which remains one of the dumbest actions in African or African American history).

PS: Madam Obianuju If not for Martin Luther King RIP would you even be close to America talkless of achieving anything there?

It still doesn't not active anything positive. It further causes more division and perpetuates stereotypes.

We may need each other one day.

It doesn't, agreed.
But it was a public, demeaning insult which required a response. I am sure she would have given him the response via the DM if he had kept his via his DM.

If not for their fight for civil rights for black people in America you people will not be sleeping in the American embassy looking for visa. So you better show some respect, you that you know your roots are drowing in the Mediterranean to go live with white people, who roots help.

And the yellowbone who came from nowhere to insult her has sense? Why is it the Nigerian that has to be cautious, but the American can say whatever he likes? This same thing happened on twitter a while back when some African-Americans started trolling Nigerians, saying degrading things about the continent; but when Nigerians hit back everyone came for the heads of the Nigerians.

My philosophy has always been: treat everyone with respect, but if some id!ot chooses to be unfortunate, bury him, and let no one cry about it, 'cause he asked for it.

No wonder African Americans don't get along with Africans.

Honestly her response was unnecessary. It's nit their fault

Don't worry. When AAs show you their racism you will sing another tune. Dude just wanted to humiliate her probably because her name sounded different so how dare she have an opinion about Netflix! He has finished responding to her but adding that joke of a black person was uncalled for and he got served abeg.

look at the jews...after many years of displacement, they fought for their home land and many have returned there to rebuild it.....no country in the world can match them in might....

Now lets look at the African Americans..........

Exactly my point ...nothing to write home about, they are not even trying to make an effort...they have forgotten that they even have a home

I have encountered a whole lot of them. Some are woke and some are wack. Very difficult to live with.

In all honesty all tribes can be condescending towards each other.

A Nigerian thinks they are superior to Ghanaians etc.

it's good some people take out time to actually find their roots. Some of these guys just sit fallow and not giving a fcck. I have had occasion where I encouraged friends to make the effort, discover your root, visit motherland.

Probably a DM or inbox. In this case white people are happy when they witness a devided race.

I know African Americans are aggressive, rude and look down on Africans. I understand their position. They struggled and suffered alone with no one helping them and now they are competing with all races who never suffered ( Mexicans, Asians, Chinese + Africans )..

I also understand that the position on our sister, but a little private lessons and final warning through their inbox would have helped.

After final warning, savage would be justified.



that's not an excuse

Are they the only ones that suffered?

What about we in Africa who suffered opression by our colonizers?

Or you think the colonizers were here to play?

That air of superiority some of them have should be demystified biko

Igbo and Proud!
I am an Igbo, I was born an Igbo, I live the life of an Igbo, I come from Igbo, I speak Igbo, I like to be Igbo, I like to dress in Igbo, I eat Igbo food, my heritage, culture and tradition is Igbo, my parents are Igbo.

Am sorry I cannot help it if you hate my lineage. Am sorry I cannot help it if you detest Igbo, am sorry I cannot help it if you hate me because am Igbo. Igbo is who I am, my name is Igbo and I must die an Igbo.

You see Igbo as a threat, why? You call Igbo rapist, criminals, ritualist, prostitutes, kidnappers. You attribute all negative vices to represent Igbo? Why do you do that? You do because you feel threatened that Igbo might outrun the rest of the tribes. Why do you hate Igbo and despise us? You do that because we are creative, enlightened, hardworking, industrious, genius, intelligent, smart, rich, beautiful and amazing. But its difficult for you to admit it because you feel jealous of my race.

Igbo do not own politics, Igbo do not control the economy neither do we control the natural resources and the common wealth of the nation. You do, we don't and yet, despite the fact that you own everything, we still remain one indispensable race that has outshined the other race in all ramifications. You fear us because you want to exterminate and annihilate our race, you deny us many things and yet we are stronger, richer and mightier. You fear us because we are everywhere. You fear us because no matter how rural a place might be, when Igbo steps in, they turn it into a Paradise. We have our own resources, which lies in resourcefulness, we do not bother you and your control over the polity, but yet when we cough you and the other race begin to shiver.

Am proud being an Igbo, am proud of my heritage and culture. Igbo means high class, Igbo means independence, Igbo means hard work and strength, Igbo means riches, Igbo means resourcefulness, Igbo means self belonging, Igbo means self esteem, Igbo means pride, Igbo means swag.
