If you lack knowledge of history, you won't know that it was the white-man's orchestration. They have planted seeds of division and disunity among our people since time immemorial. They subconsciously use social engineering tools of mass media to propagate the hate and divide among the Afro American and the African migrants. They fear that if these two parties unite, it may spell doom for the racist whites. But that is beginning to change now because of social media and groups bringing both parties together, learning from each other, and pursuing the same interests.

Aren't we both Africans...
Aren't there many Africans in the U.S

the truth is Africans will eventually inter marry with the AA's and probably outnumber the AA's and since we are all Africans we should make work to our favour..

If you don't mind, have you ever been to America?

its not black... its melanin..

without melanated soil, the seeds you plant would never grow...

you can't grow food in a soil that doesn't have melanin like the desert soil..

without melanated humans, wh:yte people will die off, because they always reach a point in their generation where they can't impregnate themselves..

that's one the reasons you're seeing a lot of T.V series with a black man and wh:yte woman or vice-versa..

they (wh:yte people) are conditioning black people to interact and have s:ex with wh:yte people...

they need melanin to survive..
the earth needs melanin to survive...

Rubbish!!!

[quote author=1Sharon post=85648616]

They tried to change Liberia for the better based on the knowledge they had gained from the west. But what did the insecure Africans do? Accused them of thinking they are better! And that caused a war.

This is why blacks in diaspora fixing africa can never work because of the mentality of insecure Africans. You accuse blacks/africans from overseas of thinking they are better when they are trying to help because you are insecure.

It's part of the crabs in a barrel mentality of black ppl.

AA's should fix themselves first!

Most of these African Americans are also very intolerant and condescend Africans with their nasty, ignorant, close minded and rude lifestyle , that's why Africans tend to isolate them and flow more with Latinos, Asians, white and even afro carribeans. They are mentally damaged people always quick to attach race to every issue which in my opinion I think is gonna really limit their potentials. Nigerians are their no1 enemies, not surprised though every insecure black person has issues with Nigerians because of how over self-confident and loud we are from ghana to satafrika grin

Caribbean people are not exempted, they are just as bad if not worse than African Americans.

the same way religious books are fictional is the same way the story of the trans-atlantic slave trade and slave monuments built to back up the story are fictional...

it is impossible to move such large number of people between continents without there been an opposition, especially since west africans fought the europeans and f:ulanis till the early 1900s.

black americans were already on the american continent and were enslaved on the american continent.

the things you read were created to foster self hatred, lack of trust e.t.c among AAs and Africans.

haiti killed off and chased the french out of haiti and there were other AAs groups who revolted but their stories are not popular because it does not fit the perception the wh:yte owned media wants to create and put on all Africans globally.

there are graves of wh:yte people who tried to invade the South South Nigeria but were killed, again those stories are not popular..

they (wh:yte owned media) want to keep all black people in "victimhood", self hatred, poverty, subservient e.t.c...

I respect your opinion...

but its not your opinion its what was written by a "HISTORIAN", before the creation of T.V, Cables, C:NN e.t.c books, town criers, and "historic documents" were used to brainwash people...
I have watched YouTube videos that said the same thing, you familiar with Dane Calloway on YouTube?

NOW, I THINK I NEED TO ADD MY OWN AND POINT OUT ERRORS IN SOME CONTRIBUTIONS TO THESE DISCUSSIONS
the real tragedy of Africa (which we must turn around positively) is the refusal of the African to learn from his true history.
'only a fool allows his enemies to teach his children- Malcolm 'Omowale El-Hajj Shabazz' X'


Imagine this scenario:
You were a little girl (ages 4-5) kidnapped by people from other languages and culture but with same skin, during war (with your parents killed); that the welcoming beginnings of a traumatic and hellish existence. After, you were sold into stinking slave ships to people with different skins , culture and languages. Some of your peers died (70-80%),while the women among you were routinely raped, to satisfy these foreigners.
On getting to their land, you were sold like cattle, demeaned and told you now were a property of humans like you. You lost your language, culture and religion; in fact to make their point known, these foreigners killed some of your fellow prisoners-colleagues through swords, machetes or being eaten alive by beasts. You were forced to work extremely long hours from 4:30 in the morning to 11:00 pm at night. At age 10-13, there were often routine rape by the master, his friends and the poor overseers who belong to the masters race: anal sex, forced sex, beatings, ...just let your imaginations run wild. Also, men from your race were encouraged to sleep (rape) you as a very young teenager, in order to increase the slave population. Many of your friends died during child-birth, but you were 'lucky' - your child survived. However, your child would have been better off dead. Why? He was sold at age 5 to other strangers who turned him to a beast of burden. His childhood was effectively destroyed. Equally, laws were made to prevent you from reading (learning the truth in books; so you were always illiterate).

Those laws became institutions you and your generations fought till death. Your latter generations (who had little access to Father figures who were systematically [as in deliberately] denied employment, land or dignifying labour and usually sent to jail compared to people from other races or the enslaver's race) were undisciplined due to their spirits being 'almost eternally 'broken by seeing their Mothers being lesser than animals. Your enemies then proceeded to destroy you through covert means : disease warfare, psychological brain washing using religion, music (glorifying unbridled sex ,drugs and violence AGAINST YOUR OWN PEOPLE).

Tell me, why should such person not be eternally angry, vengeful and a psychological wreck within the committee of nations? Why would such person trust people from his continent who betrayed him? Why should such person see the dignity of suffering now to enjoy later, when he/ she has seen the parents (usually single Mothers)g to show for it? Why should such person love the descendant of her enemies , who enslaved, raped and destroyed her psychologically? I just summed up 500 years of enslavement, Jim Crow, CIA drug flooding and psychological warfare by European media on the African-American.

The chief problem of a lot of Nigerians is : they are half-baked 'ignorants', who think they know what suffering means but clearly have no idea; because they don't read for the sake of knowledge
How many of you have read the following books:
1. Destruction of black civilisation
2.The Autobiography of Malcolm X
3. Olaudah Equiano
4. Diary of an economic hitman
5. (a paraphrase) Memoirs of ***Shaw (Lord Lugard's girlfriend)

I was appalled when I read many ignorant comments here. Some one called codedmaniacs saying : the transatlantic and transaharan slave trade never happened. Who told you that?
I am hoever not surprised. A lot of 'foreign alphabet' agents pretending to be black/ Africans/ Afro-Americans are here on nairaland.com, in order to brainwash Africans. Make no mistake: the psychological brain washing has moved from the TV (using CNN, MTV and other western consumables) to the internet.

For the genuine seekers of knowledge, 3 main negative spiritual energies holding the African continent from progress:
1. [the old ]Human sacrifices
2. Slavery
3. Human rituals

Unless we apologise to God Almighty, and our Afro-American and Afro-Carribeans brothers, we will end up 1000 years behind all other races. The Afro- American deserves an apology for what some foolish African Kings and nobles did to their brothers and sisters (not all of them though). Take as an example: Efunsetan Aniwura who had a lot of slaves in Ibadan and sold them to foreigners, names in Yoruba land like Ologun-eeru (the man with 20/ miriad slaves) and the wars of plunder between the Oyo empire and Dahomey. Lets not even talk about the Akan who institutionalised slavery within their Kingdom in Ghana.
Coming to the 21st century: the plunder of Africa by Africans, selling their fellowmen and stashing their ill-gotten wealth in Switzerland, UK, Belize, Dubai, USA e.t.c, while leaving their continent with broken infrastructure, murderous un-CIVIL wars (the Congo world war from 1950s to present and the resource war in Liberia, Sierra leone and NW Nigeria), massacres, hunger and the latest- terrorism (a covert means of 21st century Arab, Turkish and French (?)) re-colonisations.

Are we Africans ready to be taken seriously by other races, or should we become extinct and extinguished like a match-flame in front of a tornado?. I really pity us, if we all continue in our glorified ignorance.
I drop my pen.

Obi1kenobi:
I find it curious how Africans (Nigerians especially) love to say African-Americans blame all their problems on white people. This may be true, but the hypocrisy involved is staggering. Africans themselves are fond of blaming European colonialism and neo-imperialism for their problems. Yet, claim black Americans like playing the victim.

The only difference I see between black Americans and African immigrants is their circumstances which lead to different behavioral patterns. Africans mostly come from shitholes, so when they go to Europe or America, they understand their new privileges and know they have no excuses not to succeed. So they're filled with pluck and determination. African-Americans on the other hand do not understand how privileges they are and how much harder their counterparts find it in other parts of the world. They're indoctrinated to feel perpetual victimhood and indoctrinated to believe there is systemic discrimination that obstructs their progress, so many turn out lazy and unaspiring.

WHITE BOY pretending to be one of us. ''Obi1kenobi'', the WHITE BOY RACIST who stole a Nigerian - sounding name from Star Wars to infiltrate Nairaland and continually denigrate all things black and African.
