The Root Causes Of Racism by BigBashiru: 10:25am On May 29, 2020
- Always borrowing money from white and Asian countries.
- Always receiving aid but never giving aid to white countries.
- Always migrating to white mans lands even when they don't want you. No self respect.
- No single successful black majority country worldwide. World's poorest continent is black.
- Most inventions such as electricity and cars and airplanes are by non blacks - blacks consume white or Asian inventions.

How can the dignity of the black man be restored? What is the way out? Why is there no single developed black majority country. Rail in Nigeria is being built by the Chinese.... this means once the Chinese leave it will stop working.

I completely agree. Recently I read in the news that a man kidnapped a 5 year old. After the 5 million ransom was paid, the 5 year old boy was still killed by the kidnapper and buried by the kidnapper. The news report says the kidnapper confessed to police to using the money to buy a car and an iPhone.

The blacks also sold themselves to the white man during slavery.

you're going far... Talk about tribalism

African leaders from time immemorial have killed the system... There over confidence in the western products and services is to our own Perils... We have engnrs. But remember they saw the light before us which makes them colonize us. The only one that the whites did not colonize is Ethiopia but leaders mess them up.

Your points are nice, but I think they're all product of "self importance".
Self importance births the missing qualities we lack as stated in your post.

So how did they come to see the light before us? Don't forget colonization did not happen without the black mans consent.

Were the blacks so "dumb" they did not recognize colonization and resisted it? Colonization wasn't via armed forces. How it happened is whites would reach Benin city and talk to the natives about their conquest. We will give you xyz if you allow us to control Benin. The black man agreed and then the white man took over.

Bro This guys came with so many good things don’t forget. They are part of the Development you and I enjoy today. Techs Education Christianity so many things we feel that makes life good.. That you are arguing this now is because you went to school and they are not happy about it. Human is naturally envious. Imagine settling your apprentice after teaching him some techniques and he outshines you and because the greatest of all that ur name will not even be heard. He may not show it direct but the envy must be around waiting for a day to strike.

Re: The Root Causes Of Racism by Muna4real(f): 10:56am On May 29, 2020
I don't completely agree with you. Racism started far back during the slave trade . In fact even before the slave trade. At that time, blacks could not borrow from the whites, blacks could not lend to them,
blacks could not use their stuffs.

Let me explain .During this time, the blacks were living in the dark age. They didn't know who the whites were not to talk of traveling there. They were on their own ohh. Then the whites came with their racism, started slave trade, forcefully colonized the blacks and exploited their resources. So racism didn't start today. It was "hate at first sight ". As soon as the whites saw them, they hated them. End of story
Re: The Root Causes Of Racism by dulux07(m): 11:42am On May 29, 2020
The root cause of racism has to do majorly with the human mind. Humans will always feel they are better than each other, hence try to make the other inferior, we see that in tribalism, religion, btw rich and poor.

But it is only worse btw black and white, because of the huge gap btw the two, majorly origin and skin color.
Imagine if africa was the first to get civilized and developed, it would be like this.

Even though racism cannot be erased, but If africa can change its mentality and develop itself, it will help reduce the effects and earn us respect. But as it is now, it seems the black man is not ready, he prefers racism over development.
Re: The Root Causes Of Racism by chriskosherbal(m): 11:48am On May 29, 2020
Thier are no major I will say root cause(s) of racism is simply just an internal hate an individual bearing a certain skin color (sticking with skin racism) to an individual who is bearing a different one .

It's a self inflicted syndrome most times and it has the capacity for growth if not checked and given the right environment it can either increase or decrease in an individual.

The whites are always intrigued with discoveries, even till date, what a blackman would destroy out of ignorance, a white man would keep, study and nurture it.

Slave trade is as a result of the blackman's greed, that we are still experiencing today. "It was hijacked from blacks", the black leaders then were exchanging their own men for the whiteman's materials, the whites then took advantage of that.

Because of greed it is easy for the white man to manipulate and exploits the black, which is still happening till date, imagine countries exchanging diamond, oil for weapons to kill each other undecided.

Europeans did not come to Africa with armed forces to carry out colonization. They came, negotiated, played to the blacks greed (whites are greedy too but the African traits of greed, selfishness and wickedness combined makes the African situation unique).

Today you speak English - no African nation has come together and said let's adopt an African language to be pan African instead of English.

Stop playing the oppression card. Okay today that colonization is over, rail in Nigeria is being done by the Chinese. What prevents Nigeria from hiring a Gambian, Moroccan, or Egyptian company to do the work. No single black country is capable of laying rail tracks in Nigeria.

It's because of the beggar dependent attitude of blacks that Trump doesn't respect black Africans

Re: The Root Causes Of Racism by Nobody: 12:47pm On May 29, 2020
No.

These are not the causes.

These are the effects. The symptoms.

Racism is rooted in the days of slave trade and colonialism.

That's where the black man started to fall in the human food chain.

There was a time the Asians were further below the blacks in the food chain.

The white man came to Africa and devised a very clever concept to not just enslave the black man physically, but also mentally, which is even worse.

So, even though there's no physical enslavement per se, there's a mental enslavement which makes sure that:

1. The black man hates his skin color

2. The black man sees his religion as pagan and demonic

3. The black man regards his tradition and culture as barbaric

4. The black man sees his language as unattractive and local.

This guarantees that the black man will forever be subjugated and beneath the white man no matter what.

Even when the white man is a bum. i.e a homeless vagrant with little or no education or skills.

Once he is cleaned up and brought to Africa, it is assured that there's no African president that won't fall over himself to shake his hand.

The brainwashing is so total and complete that some resent being called black. They prefer brown.

The psychological domination sees the black person trying to bleach away their Godgiven melanin-rich skin just to look lighter.

Most Africans worship fair skin.

We Africans would never take an objective look at the spirituality our forefathers practiced.

But we have crammed the Bible and the Qur'an and are ready to kill or at least insult others to defend these religions.

Same religions that cast God as a white being and Satan as a black person.

The whites don't need to do anything to subjugate us. They only need to fold their arms and watch us grapple unsuccessfully with the mental padlock they placed on our minds.

If you are a Christian worshipping a white Jesus, you are wrong.

If you are a Muslim worshipping a white Allah, you are equally wrong.

Maybe one day I will write about Yoruba spirituality and show how it resonates with the ancient Kabbalistic and Hermetic Spiritual Traditions that have been in existence and predates even the earliest known prehistoric man and whose flames are being kept alive by selected few humans charged with passing the Truth to only those who are ready.

Slave trade and colonialism were not carried out by armed forces - they were carried out via simple strategic negotiations.... the black man was the person selling themselves in return for money and short sighted power.

The black man is responsible for mentally unslaving himself - its time to quit the blame game.

Your history knowledge is off.

Colonialism was achieved by force.

Initially, slave trade was achieved by cunning on their part and greed on our part and eventually, force on their own part.

Either way, the resultant effects continue to live with us till today.
