The law and government know if you are African American, Caribbean or African.

Your surname and info and how you decide to be called.

Are you in the US to start with to understand how all blacks are seen? Because you sound like you are talking about what you don’t know

Why are people always talking what they don't know? She had the full black experience! She herself said her mum was fully aware she was raising two black American girls. She was even bused - see below

All these are for politics.

Abused by whom.

She was from an upper middle class family that lived in white neighborhood.

Her dad is a professor and her mum too

Which full black experience.

Mum divorced father, mum is Indian, the girls stayed with mum that is from Indian, what black experience are you talking about

You just showed you don’t live in America.... here we asked to be called ppl of color. It’s a sense of pride. If you call someone black here then you would be considered racist. You either call them african American or ppl of color. Ppl of color includes blacks, Asians and Latinos. .....there are many ppl of color that are qualified but don’t get the right jobs because they not white. So Biden is trying to fix that. When you come to America you will see a lot of white ppl with lesser qualifications than you in high positions just because their white. Here if a white person wants a loan they will pay less interest than a black person bcuz banks say white ppl come with less risk. Biden wants to correct those errors

Can you shed more light on this “people of colour” nonsense that annoys me.
Are African Americans okay with it?

Or are African Americans being scammed by it?

Dude if you understood what i wrote, i simply wrote that the government know the difference.

The police thinks every black person is black until your data is pulled out and your African name they can't pronounce is showed to you.

Kamala Harris was never raised in a black neighborhood.

Her parents were college professors.

Her hindu Mum divorced dad when she was very young.

Indian mum lived in white neighborhood training up her children in Indian ways.

How is she now black?

Her real name is Kamala Devi Harris

She is only black for politics to get black votes

CNN acting the script given them since decision was made to move against Trump.

Maybe it escaped your eyes, but sometimes in early February when USA was just registering its first coronavirus case, a Nairalnder made a comment that Trump will lose reelection because of Coronavirus.

I dismissed it then because I thought America might not be as hard hit as it presently is but I guess I was wrong.

There are many secret agents here on this forum who are privy to so many classified information and I'm sure that guy was aware of something we didn't know.

Again, I'm of the view that Pfizer deliberately delayed announcement of their vaccine to make sure Trump loses. Or why did they make the announcement just barely one week after the elections.

The forces against Trump prepared for him long ago. And these guys are not just after Trump, they are after something more.


We are entering a new world(generation) of technology(artificial intelligence)

The people against Trump are the Chinese Communist Party(CCP), Organisation of Islamic Cooperation(OIC) and the Globalists.

They want to control the new world we're entering, this is the reason the US and China are in cold war, the US doesn't want China to control the 5G technology.

Trump will win because the Republican perty is the one pushing him and Americans won't give up their country like that.
Turkey and China will enslave Subsahra Africans if Joe Biden wins. Their plan is to impeach Joe Biden and make Kamala Harris the president then take over world power.

Biafra on my mind.

codemaniacs:


you're filled with stereotypes and that's very negative for you...

Nigerian immigrants don't see Nigerians born outside Nigeria as akata and akata is a yoruba word and yorubas are very tribal and are pro-yoruba whether born in or out of Nigeria..

the people who were called akata were black americans in the black panther party due to the panther in the name of that organisation... so most Yorubas called black americans akata because you can't distinguish between a black american who's in the black panther party and another who is not and they didn't use it in a discriminatory and condescending way like you are doing...

the U.S does not care about first generation anything... a Nigerian comedian is in the U.S army, as long as you're a citizen and you meet other requirements you can join and that's if they don't racially profile the person and not give the person the job....
Firstly, akata is not just black people, even white people are called akata by Nigerians but let me not go into that. Nigerians don't have to call the kids born in the States akata but as long as some of them still flog their kids for wrongdoing and others can't even scold their own kids, the message is clear. Some Nigerian parents flog their kids and they will just cry and keep quiet whereas others flog theirs and they call 911 on them.

Secondly, I used US Secret Service as an example and didn't use USArmy for a reason.
Joining USArmy is no big deal, even people with ordinary greencard do join USArmy as non commissioned officers but when it gets to becoming an officer, citizenship will be required.

Joining the military in the States at zero rank does not require security clearance and doesn't need intensive criminal background check but becoming an officer in the military or joining FBI, Secret Service, CIA etc is a whole different ball game and they don't just hire you because you are "American".

I'm not stereotyping bro, I've only learnt to separate my emotions from issues but you know what, you are right. I can't argue with you anymore.

You people don't realise how wrong you are. Kamala Harris is FULLY a black American woman and had the full experience. Unlike someone like Obama. Even her mum identified with blacks and was fully aware she was raising two black American girls!

Both kamala Harris and Obama are the same people, forced on Africa Americans to believe they are black so that they can vote them.

Once again, kamala Harris isn't black, never lived with blacks or black neighborhood.

How can you say she Kamala Harris had the black experience with an Indian mum. Stop repeating what the lame media are forcing on you.

You think na.

For instance if your mum is hausa, can you have the yoruba or igbo experience from your hausa mum?

Think

Is it not the culture your mum is from she will teach you and your siblings

Yea she is black that listened to Tupac's music in the 70s. cheesy
When she said that eeh, a lot of black Americans laughed their asses off.

She had to claim to belong to black community but didn't know when she lied about rap timeline as if Tupac was making music in the 70s.

That woman is just a politician and good one at that, I must give it to her.

It was black activists who started calling black people, people of colour.

The former word was Colored, very popular word to refer to black people in the south

Even the word African American was coined by jesse Jackson.

Now because of politics they use people of colour for non whites when the original words was for black people.

They are gradually erasing the black experience out of history

Obama and Kamala are not same at all. You don't understand American society. That her Indian mum is considered black in America. That's how she met her dad - in a black power protest meeting. She militantly identified black and was fully aware she was raising two black girls. See below
