Today is MLK day, how many of you munchies went out to join the African Americans to match and celebrate the day? How many of you clearly understand what MLK stands for in African American history? How many of you truly understand the African Americans’ struggle yesterday and today? Instead of senselessly judging this group of people, we need to simmer down, be grateful and be thankful to the Africa Americans...Without the struggle of their forefathers most of you guys in America today wouldn’t have the opportunity to leave your shithole country/ your retarrded leaders and sit in front of your fat TVs in the United States of America. 6 Likes |

zomby: You dont have to insult people in your overzealousness. Everything is not a crime simply because people are different from you. I dont appreciate your language. Your first three or four sentences might have been manageable (minus the insult you embedded in the first one), but in your desperation to outshine yourself in stupidity, you just had to insult others for no reason. How many AAs do you see insulting their leaders and country like you just did? 1 Like |

Jesse25: You people are delusional. Lol The AA revenue flow is like $2 trillion, nearly twice that of the entire African continent. How in the hell could a so called "lazy people", who don't work, and sit around doing drugs and crime all day blaming whites for their "miserable lives" generate that much capital out of a group of like 50mill compared to Africa's over 1bill inhabitants? I do agree that despite the successes we need to begin a more progressive turn toward greater levels of ownership in the American market. 5 Likes |

khiaa: The use of the term "black" in your statement above is misleading and so is the use of "Neanderthal" They were no contemporary Africans(of which AA belong to genetically and phenotypically) that were on the continent of the Americas pre the Ameri indians or native American populations. There is evidence of populations that existed pre the arrival of the so called native Americans 15,000 years ago but they are not genetically African. The oldest fossil luzi dated as far back as 13,000 years ago still clusters with native Americans genetically and so does Kenewick man dated about 9,000 years ago. The closest guess would be Melanasian or Australoid populations who resemble Africans phenotypically but are not what you would term a contemporary African. 1 Like |

HORRORIZON: As far as ownership is concerned I highly doubt that will be achieved because the game is rigged against that. A people need Land or a sovereign area to stand a good chance in achieving anything. The AA is caught between loyalty to his country that has not wanted him for a long period of time and building this fortress behind enemy lines. Its a hard one if you ask me. 1 Like |

I consider whites as neanderthals because that's what they are a part of, which they admit themselves. There is a whole lot of the US/American history that you do not know nor understand. |

khiaa: Exactly. Only 7% of AA are unemployed. We are not and never will be lazy. Read statistics on our education, wealth, and employment rates instead of watching movies that white producers send all over the world as propaganda about our community. https://www.epi.org/publication/50-years-after-the-kerner-commission/ And even white people in America and globally research racial inequality in this country and use statistics to show it exists in very real ways (predatory lending, hiring practices, unconscious bias, policing, environmental racism etc) but people that live over 2,000 miles away and have never stepped foot in the US one day tell us “it is all in your mind/stop being a victim”.

Obi1kenobi: Please educate yourselves. To say we’ve made very little progress is not factual whatsoever. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.brookings.edu/articles/black-progress-how-far-weve-come-and-how-far-we-have-to-go/amp/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/blackamericaweb.com/2019/01/17/2-5-million-african-american-men-are-in-the-upper-middle-class/amp/ A working class African American lives a much higher quality of life than even middle class Nigerians( if you even have a middle class). Please stop the divide between people of similar ancestry. Read and understand facts and stop espousing things you see in the movies. It’s not real life for over 80% of us! And since y’all like to watch American movies so much, watch something factual. Check out the Netflix show ‘Explained’—season 1, The Racial Wealth Gap. |

InyinyaAgbaOku: Pls read the articles I posted. African immigrants are not better off than African Americans born in this country as a whole, statistically speaking. Less than 20% are in what we consider “poverty”. But poverty in the US is rich compared to third world countries. Our “poor” people have 24/7 electricity, subsidized housing, access to really good healthcare, education for their children, plenty of food, free mobile phones from the government, money to go to school or money to pay for child care for those that wish to work instead of going to school (govt funded), and a good infrastructure (great roads). I don’t really consider that poor compared to places in the world where people don’t have access to clean water or live in war torn environments. Chukwu (God) bless America. My ancestors did not ask to come here but built this country and the great wealth people all over the world come here to enjoy. I respect and honor them for their sacrifice although many of my African brothers/sister disrespect their descendants and chose not to learn the truth about who we really are. (Crying emoji) |

Supersweet2019: The same AA complain that our success is thanks to theirs. That they suffer while we enjoy. That they are still at the receiving end bla bla bla while we ball. That makes them liars from your own assertions. They are more discriminatory of immigrants than whites . And Oga, we are richer and more educated, with better family system. They should help themselves with what they claimed to have fought for and not disturb us. That's bad belle. Are they the ones that fought for Mexican and Asian immigrants too ?

khiaa: "Black skinned" native Americans are genetically Asian and so I don't know what you mean in your first statement. Skin pigmentation does not confer race nor does it confer genotype. If you are part "native American" it means you are part Asian or carry genetic material that emanates or was evolved in Asia. As far as Neanderthals are concerned, every other peoples outside of Sub Saharan Africans carry reminants of Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA in them including some very small groups in Africa including the Masai and Ethiopians who carry a back migratory genetic code from West Asia. PS, do not assume that I do not know anything about racial or genetic history in the Americas. If you believe so then try me with the knowledge that you believe I don't have. If you identify as an African American your "most recent" ancestors emanate from the African continent and you would carry a significant amount of DNA from that region. Period. 2 Likes |

morpheus24: My most recent ancestors originated from Africa as well as the U.S. Black Asians are still black people, all black people are not African. I said black people were here before the whites ever stepped a foot in America which is true. The aboriginals of Australia are black (non African) Some Indians in India are black(non Africans) but there are Indians in India who have been there for many many centuries who originated from Africa. Yes, I know you will say that Indians are Asian but they are still black people. Once again,. All Black People Do Not Have To Originate From Africa, unless you are using the "all people came from Africa argument." |

khiaa:The term black as it is used in contemporary usage denotes people of "African" Ancestry, heritage or descent. We all know there are people across the world who have skin pigmentation akeen to that of sub Saharan peoples so your narration is confusing. All kinds of people with different pigmentation from brown to white, were here in the Americas before the arrival of Europeans. khiaa: The above is all true, however you are trying to jump around in circles. How do you know your ancestors who are "Black Asian" were actually black skinned? If you took a DNA test, the best it could do was tell you what percentage of native American you had in you. How did you figure out that this population that contributed to your DNA were indeed "black skinned" native Americans since native Americans have different shades of skin pigmentation. If the information came from oral tradition through your family ancestry i.e. passed down via family stories, then what native tribe in particular do you descend from, cause most of the ones in the continental US were not "black" or "black skinned" as you indicate. At least not the contemporary ones. You are being a little mischievous here at worst and at best are being disingenuous. 1 Like |

morpheus24: I don't need a DNA test to tell me about my native side because I'm with them everyday. I told you that you don't know all there is to know about American/Black American history and your post proved it. Why do you assume my native side must be from some long ago intermixing? My grandmother is half black American (her father) her mother is a mixture of Souix, Seminole(who is dark skinned) There were/are dark skinned Seminoles. You need to do more research the American history is not the whole truth, there are many lies and deceptions, one being that Christopher Columbus discovered America. Africans had been going back and foward to America thousands of years before Christopher stepped on the continent, some even stayed and settled in America. The history of America was designed to make whites seem superior. Morpheus 24 |
