Global protest because their cries were loud enough. If a protest is loud enough, the world would listen. Apartheid in South Africa is a very good example. People were protesting all over the world for the injustice going on in South Africa. Even Black Americans were empathetic with them as they were going through a similar system of oppression. The whole world stood for South Africa till apartheid was cancelled. Same is going on with the BLM movements all around the world. No one or country would jump in to support if the people being oppressed themselves are doing nothing.

Blacks are not only the race that is being targeted. The Germans were more horrible in world war 2 but the US and other would powers never dropped a bomb on Berlin, but it was very okay for them to drop a bomb on Hiroshima. The Japs to them were lesser humans even though it was the German that were gasing people, sterilizing and doing all abhorrent things.

Yes. Blacks are being discriminated but discrimination get levels. Facts: an African American or black British will be accorded more respect by an European than a Nigerian. You wonder why it's Nigerians that the Chinese are treating like garbage in China and not the Black American or Black British. Even South African blacks get treated better outside Africa compared to a Nigerian.

When you develop your own country, stand up to oppressors, find ways of enriching your own environment, things will start changing. The Indians and Chinese were once doormats to Americans, British and Canadians. They developed their countries, fought their oppressors, started making progress and the world started respecting them.

blacks cannot be racist. this is not sarcasm. Racism is not what black people do

Gerrard59:


We're on the same page but let's remember that the vast majority of black people are domiciled in Sub-Saharan Africa and the notion most people across the world have about black people are of those who reside in Sub-Saharan Africa. BTW, the way you emphasise this fight, if it was that easy, don't you think you should have been here to participate in the fight?

Are Nigerians ready to protest like they are doing in the US? Or Nigerians are waiting for a "savior" or God to help them

Well, if I was in Nigeria or live in Nigeria. I would definitely join Sowore in his fight for proper democracy. Until we start being selfless and consider others in our decisions, we won't appreciate how far collective effort can take us.I do not like the name choice though i.e. Revolution now.

Someone7:


His wife suffered and died of cancer. Is it unnecessary and CLASSLESS to bring her into this. Do you know he has dual citizenship? He was entitled to fly out when the US flew her citizens out. What's your point?

Yampotatocarrot:


Without trying to be emotionless concerning the death of his wife, it was actually necessary to know how he managed to move out Inspite of the restrictions on movement.

Your last statement on him having dual citizenship and being entitled to fly out when US flew her citizens out answered the question

Someone7:


My point is there was no need to bring his late wife into this

Yampotatocarrot:


Please let me understand something here. Do you then mean that the level of racism one experiences in other countries is inversely proportion to the level of development in one's country of origin?

EzzyCarter:


Says who? Well I'm sure you're been sarcastic.

I don't know how to describe Nigerians. We have bags and bags of things wrong with Nigeria. The police shooting innocent civilians from ages past, soldiers trying to outdo the police in the race to know which group is more idiotic, bunch of belly dancers as politicians, insecurity everywhere etc. And no one organises any protest. A guy was killed unjustly in America (a regular occurrence in Nigeria) and boom! Nigerians start protesting. SMH.
