RIP FLOYD.

We support the BLACK LIVES MATTERS protest from day one up till now.

But some people have turned the protest to a political ish.


And you have a very very good point here Kikero.
You make absolute sense.





He needs to be very careful with what he says also.
Seems he anger the people more with his tweets and speech concerning this protest.
Donald needs to take some chill!

We are talking from a neutral ground here.

Mallam Suya good morning

LOL , you dont know anything , these are the most serious riots in 70 years , there were demonstrations all over world against America

Many of Americas closest allies have condemned them .

It has nothing to do with election , a lot of white people will not be happy for them kneeling , you obviously dont know anything about American politics, they will actually lose support over this

They are kneeling because regardless of affiliation Americans are extremely proud and patriotic and they know this has tarnished the countrys image

Do I think they are genuine ? of course not , but thats because I trust no politician

But anyone who thinks that kneeling will garner them even one vote is clueless

All those people that are kneeling now that they were abusing others that were doing it before, its mot genuine either , its only because they realise how bad they look right now
1992 riots was worse and lead to the death of 63 people

Enough of this pandering by these establishments, kneeling, black out squares won’t stop racism
Nancy kneel but needed help to stand up, too bad she ought to relinquish her position as house speaker
80 years old - 33 years in national politics and she’s blaming trump

Nancy - 17th term as a congressman
Trump - 1st term as a president


He has done 3 things that’ll make black Americans be on a level playing field with other races

Historical Funding of HBCU
historical black employment
The first Step Act

And immediately after Floyd’s death, before the protests he directed FBI and DOJ to get involved Incase the cop escape state law, he won’t escape federal law... I bet you don’t know all this cause you’ve been programmed to hate on the man

When ANTIFA hijacked the riot, what did he do? He declared them domestic terrorist, rolled out NATIONAL GUARDS into the street and called governors to maintain law and order... did you see anything like riot since then?

And for your info, the wall he’s building will help Africa cause if humans are still allowed to cross the southern border illegally, there are high chances that Latinos (Central America & south America) will pass through this routes than Africans will. are you willing to fly to Mexico to be transported through the southern border by cartels ? This has helped blacks community in America because an employer will rather employ an illegal alien that’ll be paid below the minimum wage, use for odd jobs and that he’ll be able to dismiss arbitrarily ( which led to increase in black employment) but I don’t know why your brain has been programmed to hate on him... follow another news source apart from CNN... it’ll help

I wish to ask what Obama did during his 8 years to curb racism but I won’t grin

PS- I didn’t formulate the 5th paragraph (Was and immigration) on my own before you masturbate unnecessarily on my post, a black American explained that to me


I’ll reply sensible mentions but y’all calling me names for having an opinion... well it’s a free world, You can call me what you want

You are mistaken

The term "African American " in itself need to be abolished. It is racist. This term has negatively configured the minds of white Americans to think that blacks are immigrants from Africa. But that's not the case. Black people lived in America side by side with red Indians for generations before the slave trade.
Black people of America who's parents were there for generations are bona-fide Americans not African Americans.

Well I hope they will fly Ghanaians in to vote for them, because what I am seeing here is just political stunts.

Right now a lot hypocrites will be playing to the gallery just to score cheap political points. Any white man who is sympathetic to black struggles would have been known long before now by their antecedents, anyone just coming to make noise about it now shouldn't be trusted until long after these must have been history.

We read lots of unnecessary meaning into this
Recognizing that African-Americans are being brutalized is a huge act of truthfulness & humility
Then kneeling and with an African symbol is to show respect.
Guy, this nothing bad
Have you ever seen a Nigerian politician kneel to apologize for his own wrong talk more another person's?
Mehn, let's commend them and then condemn them if they don't make good legislation to curb this evil racism

A nigerian politician will lay on his belly and postrait and even cry if that is what it will take for him to hv a chance to win an election

my friend Im talking in terms of economic damage and how many cities were involved, thats how they have always measured the severity of the riots .

They do not use the death toll to calculate how big a riot is , they never have.

Its a separate issue ,

It has always been done that way because while its easy to calculate the financial costs of property damage , loss of business etc one cannot put a financial figure on what a life is worth .

I am worried for America because they are world power, and any fallout like war will have a global repercussion..................I am also worried for the black community in America, because if America fail as a country, blacks will be blamed for everything....

This protest is now having a very dangerous turn........................,... Initially the motives of the protest was genuine (i.e racism, police brutality, injustice, black lives matter etc),,, BUT NOW, the message is about defunding of police, forcing people to agree with every protesters demand or loose your work etc, destruction of landmark & historical monuments and artifacts etc, I must confess these new abnormalities are threatening America sovereignty and unity........
These abnormal and crazy ideas, are carried out by far left, Democrats, press and media to distabilised Mr Trump BUT believe me this crazy ideas can self-destroyed both Democrat and Republican, this can sent America into civil war......................China, Russia, north Korea, Iran etc can not destroy America no matter how hard they try, But Americans can easily destroy themselves.

For police to be defunded (am I dreaming? In the 21 century filled with organized crimes), can u even survive for one hour without police, no matter how bad and corrupt the police is! And yet these are the ideas being proposed by leaders in order to satisfy the protesters and if you failed to come onboard with this foolish ideas they will tag you a racist, chase you out and then make you lose your job............... Big and influential leaders of thought and political figures are afraid of speaking out, out of fear of being cast aside, including the president.............. I fear for America

Political propaganda is migrating from Nigeria to the US for good. We had our own share in 2014. It's a pity the US might enter 'one chance' as we did in the last 5yrs.

Kindly explain the essence of the Kente they are putting on. Reeks of fakeness

Why were they wearing it?
The kente scarves were given out to the congressmen and women by the Congressional Black Caucus, according to NBC News reporter Leigh Ann Caldwell .

This congressional group meets to pursue legislative goals around greater equality for black people.

"The significance of the kente cloth is our African heritage and for those of you without that heritage who are acting in solidarity," Karen Bass, chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, told reporters on Monday.

"That is the significance of the kente cloth - our origins and respecting our past."

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus have worn kente at other occasions, including events last year to mark the 400th anniversary of the arrival of enslaved Africans to America and President Donald Trump's State of the Union address in 2018.

Over the years, kente has been used in the US to reflect a pride in African heritage, including at graduation ceremonies for students in historically black fraternities or sororities.
