Thanks so much. Please make it louder. Chinese in Malaysia have been discriminated against so much yet they earn more money than ethnic Malays. Same Malaysia kicked out Singapore (which is predominantly composed of ethnic Chinese), yet Singapore picked up and became more developed and richer than Malaysia today. Same Singapore was occupied by the Japanese, yet that didn't hinder them from progressing and being best buddies with today's Japan. Same Japanese enslaved and committed heinous atrocities against Koreans yet that didn't stop the Koreans from advancing and being a major trading partner with Japan. Yet again, same Japanese committed atrocities in China but the Chinese did not allow that slow their development. Today, China is Japan's biggest trading partner.

If after more than 400 years, some people still blame slavery (whereas every race has once been under slavery), then they are deluded!


I beg to disagree, slavery of blacks in America lasted for over 200 years. I used to say the same thing you said until I did exhaustive research on black American slavery, and I can tell you that no set of people have suffered worse things than they suffered. The Asians never suffered such not even the Jewish suffering during Holocaust comes close.

What did not suffer;

Only one sets of rags for an entire year called clothes
The children were not given clothes till adulthood except rags for covering
No shoes, they walked barefoot even during winter
They work in the plantation from 5am till late night, no rest
The food they were worse than animals food

When the British abolished shipping of slaves from Africa They were now being bred like animals, where one man is locked up with plenty women to impregnate them.

there was no family unit a mother, child or father can be soled off any time because they were possession that counted for nothing

Very many atrocities were committed on this people, it will be too long to list them all out

And it has affected subsequent generations

It is even we African countries you should be comparing to the Asian countries that we gained independence same period but are well advanced than Africa.
We never suffered anything, we were allowed free reign to rule ourselves but nothing to write home about. A very shameful set of people.
Black Americans are even better off, at least they are forever Americans. But our own people run away from Africa to experience a bit of progress.

I apologise for my numerical mistake.

However, good things as well as bad things (slavery was bad and despicable) happen of which one cannot continue to blame the bad things for everything. I don't ascribe to that notion.

Regarding the bold, it's something I've done over the years offline and online (including here NL). However, some folks still find a way to blame Caucasians and everyone else. Question is: for how long?

But wait a minute! I lied!! That labour that built the magnificent edifice in Washington DC wasn't free. It was stolen!! Remember that Uncle Tom actually stole Gerrard59's Ade, Bade and Tade in the first place.

When a thief steals something and the thief's children continue to take advantage of that stolen property long after the thief is dead. My question to you is as follows:

Is it appropriate to ask the thief's children to return what was stolen to the children of the original owner?

If your answer to the above is yes, then you agree that this has nothing to do with children paying for the sins of their ancestors, and everything to do with giving back stolen things to their original owners; in this case, the descendants of Gerrard59.

Get this: America was built on stolen labour. And until the fruits of the stolen labour is returned to the original labourers, the American society will always owe a debt to Black Americans. ALWAYS!!

That's the best I can do to help you understand this situation. If you still don't get it, I can't help.

And yes, I'd say the same about the Arabs, but this discussion isn't about Black Arabs, it's about black Americans!

I do understand the concept of slavery, so your elucidation, while lucid isn't new.

At the bold, no. It's not appropriate as they were not responsible for their parents' actions. Moreover, policies upon policies have been enacted to "help" blacks.

With so much racial intermixture that has occurred over centuries, will those who dole out the potential reparations demand certificates of racial purity? It's befuddling to say the least. Yet again, in paying reparations is that: a small percentage of blacks were free before slavery ended, having bought their freedom or having had it bequeathed to them by sympathetic slave owners. Are their descendants eligible for reparations? Reparations are not only unnecessary as a financial compensation, but they would also be an insult to the throngs of successful black Americans who lifted themselves out of poverty before and after the civil rights movement.

Furthermore, the level of education amongst blacks rose while that of poverty fell between 1940 & 1960 before the introduction of welfare and "progressive politics". No way are millions of white, Asian, and Hispanic Americans going to pay reparations for something that happened before their ancestors ever set foot on American Soil.

On the flip side...why does your analogy has the name "Uncle Tom"? Oh I get! That's the tag persons like me get. grin

Regarding blacks found disproportionately in the west is because they were allowed to live. However, same cannot be said for the Arabians who massacred or castrated the blacks there.

https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-silence-about-black-slavery-in-the-arab-world/

On the aspect of gun violence, well, that is what happens when the family system is broken down by years of feeding bottle welfarism and gangsterism which has baby-mamaism as a negative result. You have a set of humans who are not brought up properly and majority with a single parent even when stats show that children who grow up in a two parent household do better in life than those from a single parent family even after adjusting for variables. You have a system where erring kids in schools cannot be disciplined because it "hurts their feelings" and as a result, they distort the learning environment for those who desire to learn. Yet again, a system that doesn't promote hard work and closely knitted homes cannot outdo those who promote these values.

Sure, all ills must be looked at holistically, however, if after over half a century of "progressive politics", years of black dominated leadership and even a black presidency, these ills still remain. Then, other solutions should be explored.

I've read every single word of this on conservative/right wing propagandist websites. Welfare has nothing to do with the poverty/social dysfunction/crime/incarceration rate of African-Americans. For one, the US has by far the least generous social safety net/social welfare programs in the industrialised West. Black Americans are not the only people in the world or America who receive welfare. Go to Scandinavia or Finland or even America's Canadian neighbors to see what welfare is. Secondly, black people in bastions of US conservative politics like Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana etc are no better off than their blue state counterparts. Cutting social benefit programs does not magically eradicate any problems in black society.

And that guy's blog is a mountain of suppositions and speculations and no hard numbers. Nobody is denying the Trans-saharan slave trade. The transatlantic trade was bigger.

I guess our world views are fundamentally different then. My view is that a thief or his/her descendants don't have any right over what was stolen. I know right? Radical idea!

Reparations are not only unnecessary as a financial compensation, but they would also be an insult to the throngs of successful black Americans who lifted themselves out of poverty before and after the civil rights movement.
Your argument in a nutshell: Implementing the right thing will be so difficult; hence don't do the right thing... Okay, my nutshell, admittedly..but still, that's cold bruv!
Also, I don't know the "throngs" of successful black Americans you're referring to. I love statistics, do give me a statistical account of the proportion of black Americans that have lifted themselves out of poverty relative to the total number. In non-fictional statistics, arguments are usually reliant on the norm not the outliers.

Furthermore, the level of education amongst blacks rose while that of poverty fell between 1940 & 1960 before the introduction of welfare and "progressive politics". No way are millions of white, Asian, and Hispanic Americans going to pay reparations for something that happened before their ancestors ever set foot on American Soil.
Now you're arguing against your own fabrications because I've not mentioned welfare anywhere.

Bro, everything you saying is the definition of entitlement. Thinking that America owes you anything is pure entitlement. And yeah essentialism is a bad thing. Not all black Americans feel entitled. Some go to school and work their asses off. They make it in life and live well. But the majority of them wanna be rappers and gangsters wanna be the next hot rapper. Even the ones that have no talent. Education is not their thing. In America, just a simple high school cert is enough for you to live fine. The government even gives financial aid for low income families to go to college. This is what most Nigerian and immigrant kids benefit from. That system was designed for black Americans to use, but they wouldn't. Nigerians are using it and they living fine. Now, truthfully this a glass ceiling limitation on minority in which you can only rise to a certain level, but that doesn't mean the company wont recorgnise you if you are a star. That's why people love Nigerians, we dont feel entitled for anything. We see it as an opportunity and we intend to make the best use of it. Educated or hard working black Americans are doing perfectly fine.

Me ke? Abeg don't implicate me o. America doesn't owe me sh!t. I'm not black American, black immigrant, or in any way or form affiliated with America. If a Nigerian immigrant goes to America to feel entitled, that person should be chased back to Naija with correct oak tree pankere!!!

I'm no more entitled to the fruits of the stolen labours of black slaves than your average white American. Only difference is, I haven't benefitted from the labour of black slaves, whereas your average white American has. You know who is entitled to the fruits of the labour of black slaves? Their descendants! So you're dang right that it is an entitlement, I'm just waiting for you to actually present a coherent argument as to why they shouldn't be entitled.

Candace Owens is full of nothing and is just a sycophant of the Republican Party (the party of Teapartiers and Trump, who desperately say the most racist and ignorant things) to divide and conquer. My people, please don't fall for this drivel that's targeted to make Nigerian-Americans seem important than other Africans, at home and the diaspora. Every immigrant works hard in this well-contrived plantation. Anyone whose sovereignty and values have not been emasculated by many years of suppressive lies, oppressive justice system, and exploitative policies, and who's at liberty to go elsewhere to seek better opportunities and can reconnect with their ancestral land, will have the confidence do well. Relatively speaking, Nigerian-Americans are not the most successful immigrants or Africans, by virtue of our population. Yes, Nigerians go to school, but not many develop a mindset to initiate solutions that help Nigeria. Rather, they go work for the big-brand corporations and government that exploit Nigeria. The disparity between the haves and the have-nots in Nigeria continues to widen while our Nigerian-American educated ones give their knowledge to the massa. Africa will remain a politically and developmentally dysfunctional nation, until all Blacks begin to uplift each other to high standards. All Ms. Owens is doing is play Uncle Tom for the GOP to try to woo some 2-goody-shoes Blacks to their party of bigotry. Is it not the same Republican Party, under Andrew Johnson, that reneged on the promises made by Lincoln to compensate emancipated slaves with 40 acres and a mule? Is it not the same Republicans who conspired to impede high-ranking Black members who did not meet their "Lily White" criteria? Is it not the same Republican Party that filibustered to undermine the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Bill? Is it not the same Republicans that got in the way of Obama's great ideas, who are now looking the other way from Trump's umpteenth travesties? Abegi, make she park well and shut up. Nigerians or Nigerian-Americans don't need anyone's validations about how hard we work. Rather, we'd like to be seen as achievers and charitable back home.
I agree with all your points except the one in bold. many Nigerians who have solutions to the country's problems really express concerns about them but the same reason they left the country is the reason they can't contribute to the nation's development, which is the nature of the polity. Nigeria is not a normal country. This country was never established to serve citizens interest. The whites knew that creating a massive state by bringing people who have deeply-divided value systems together would create disagreement, breed mutual suspicion and hatred along ethnic divides, making mass protest and nation wide anti government movement impossible. By creating this sort of lock jam in the polity, an anti people and corrupt political class is empowered to serve there own as well as neo colonial interest. No accomplished Nigerian from abroad can serve in a government headed by a waec failure. heck! they don't even need your ideas cos they are not there for the people. Corruption is not Nigeria's fundamental problem, it is the political system constructed in such a way that there will never be political will for development. Believe it or not, the only way to restore sanity, discipline, patriotism and normal political process is for us to SEPARATE.

Unfortunately, at the moment, I don't have access to the numbers but most black children were raised in two-parent families prior to the 1960s. But today the great majority of black children are raised in one-parent families.

Such trends are not unique to blacks, nor even to the United States. The welfare state has led to remarkably similar trends among the white underclass in England over the same period. Just read "Life at the Bottom," by Theodore Dalrymple, a British physician who worked in a hospital in a white slum neighborhood.

You cannot take any people, of any color, and exempt them from the requirements of civilization — including work, behavioral standards, personal responsibility and all the other basic things that the clever intelligentsia disdain — without ruinous consequences to them and to society at large.

Non-judgmental subsidies of counterproductive lifestyles are treating people as if they were livestock, to be fed and tended by others in a welfare state — and yet expecting them to develop as human beings have developed when facing the challenges of life themselves.

At your last statement, the book by the author proves it's a lie. Worse still, the Trans-Saharan slave trade continues till date.

Foolish arrogant mumu. You're a 100 percent more likely to live closer to an animal than I will.
Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world - DEAL WITH IT.
Nigeria can not guarantee constant power supply for its citizens - DEAL WITH IT.
You have more important things to worry about than beating your chest for nothing.
