The same goes for women Left for me I would like women to have the same opportunties as men and whatever they advocate for but then my opinion wouldn't change much and if over 90% of men have contrasting opinion what should women do,keep protesting and appealing to men to change their mind ? that could cause some change but it would be very slow. The best thing they can do is work on themselves, earn their rights,create the opportunities themselves,change the narrative themselves. Luckily you have a lot of men who share the same view too and unlike few centuries ago women are presented with similar opportunities as men to empower themselves. Racism is similar too,rather than appealing and protesting blacks should develop themselves and whether whites like it or not we would come to that point where we can live our lives independently without them(white racists not all white whites). I have this gtfo spirit,u can't just shake me down,who are you,because of skin colour,you racially abuse me it would get to me to an extent because I'm human but I won't have a low impression of myself because someone simply chooses to be a bigot and have a screwed and primitive perception of humans,hell no. Blacks improve yourselves, that's the best way to fight racism |

Grandmeister:My point has been this Racism exists we all know that but as it stands I think blacks should set their priorities,let's work on ourselves,speaking of black Americans if they want to leave themselves at the mercy of the whites then racism would still continue to affect them. If they should work harder,become more influential, get into important positions in government then they would change the narratives themselves whether white racists like it or not. Thankfully today to a great extent whites and blacks have equal educational opportunity so there is no excuse for not developing yourself,if black crime rates drop in America and black youths become more productive its 100 times better than carrying placards around and burning shops. Racists would still be racists whether we protest from now till forever 1 Like |

codemaniacs:Murder is a problem all over the world,even John F Kennedy a one time POTUS was murdered,anyone can be murdered and of course we have psychos all around us so the solution to that is to put measures in place to restrict that to the nearest minimums,that is why u have gun laws being debated in the U.S.A right now Moving on You are right about protests being instrumental in making or changing laws but I don't see any law that says white cops can kill black people,the law states that as homicide and the offender is currently facing the law,the protests being made right now are for awareness and to some extent most black people have taken it as am avenue to cent their anger and while that would send a strong message across to the perpetrators that racism can not be condoned it doesn't end there we have our own roles to play and I feel we should focus a lot on that. Blacks are a minority in America,Yes,but I don't think they are incapable of making a great impact,they would be at the mercies of others if they fail to develop themselves and reach their full potentials both on an individual level and as a race. If a research laboratory owned by a black american discovers the cure for corona virus he gets a patent and he gets tremendous control as long as the distribution and sales of the drug is concerned, do u know what that means,do u know the favours he can get,the you know the international diplomatic relationships he can build with that,do you know how powerful he would become,if we have Black americans doing extraordinary things they would not be at the mercy of others the rest of ur post on melanin and the rest is a highly subjective opinion and I don't think I have to bother myself responding to that The rest of ur post 1 Like |

codemaniacs: Let me accept what you have said and let's assume the disparity in those classifications is as significant as u say and this reflects the current state of employment in the U.S now how can this be resolved. If it is obvious that black Americans are being denied of deserving jobs because of their racial category as "black Americans" then they can raise such issue,protest if need be and get that settled or better in the congress,should that be a problem ? We can't totally eliminate discrimination, it would crop op every now and them but I don't think that serious minded organizations would constantly reject African Americans who truly stand out above the other candidates for a job just because of the reason u pointed out,such organization would be shooting themselves in the foot,there is massive competition amongst american companies in every sector,everyone wants to be in Fortune500,if u excellent in what u do u would get a deserving job,it may not work for everybody but I don't think its as big an issue as u made it look |

codemaniacs:There are no current legislations in the U.S.A that discriminates against black people,at least not that I know of and any act of violence that is racially motivated is well taken care of,because of social media everyone is careful,countries like America take human right seriously so any slight infringement especially when it involves a black person is takes seriously and I think sometimes its taken more serious than it should. So my point is that we don't live in the Klu Klux Klan era anymore,enough said. Now racism still exists of course but the question is how do we tackle it,those protesting on the streets are just creating awareness on how serious it is but its not the solution,skinheads would still be skinheads. So we have to do our own parts and instead of just crying out that we are tired let's work on ourselves,let's protest against blacks killing blacks we can start from there,in the last lone of Kendrick Lamars song "the blacker the berry" he sang and I quote "....So why did I weep when Trayvon was in the street when gangbanging made me kill a n*gga blacker than me,hypocrite !" . The best thing we can do for ourselves is to improve our societies, African Americans should also work towards improving their own society as well,racism would still be there but if I'm a black professor at M.I.T and a college dropout is calling me a monkey then that's his business why should I care when so many other white people think very highly of me and respect me,If I'm a successful artists selling millions of records why should I feel bad that a person who can't afford the shoes I wear thinks I'm lesser human than he is,when thousands of white people would pay hundreds of dollars to attend my music concerts. There are black sheriffs,black Judges,black Mayors in the U.S.A the BAs have all it takes to deal with racism even if it is not fully eradicated and that's by being more productive,I could go on and on but in summary what I'm saying is protests on social media and on the street can't get us were we want to be,let's not put ourselves at the mercy of others,let's grab our freedom and respect by contributing to building our societies or wherever we find ourselves.Because of Mohammed Salah and the impact he has made playing at Liverpool so many English Liverpool fans are less Judgmental about Islam right now,imagine if you had more and more influential Muslims in the world contributing immensely to the growth and welfare of humanity,peoples view on Islam would gradually change,that's the approach we should take to racism,let's become more influential, that's the best way to win our freedom 1 Like |

I do agree with some of the points that Gwan2 made,nobody is happy that blacks suffer discrimination but then are protests the solution ? If the racism continues despite the protest what are u going to do ? The best way to tackle this is to empower ourselves If we fail to improve ourselves starting from fixing our respective countries then we are at the mercy of the white men and this is the point,if we keep being at the mercy of white people then we are doomed,we have to improve ourselves, our community and the country at large and it starts with taking responsibility. You are sent to the University do u actually study to become the best or u just sort u way out,tomorrow u graduate and u want to earn millions but then what value can u give,u are giving am opportunity to serve as a leader maybe at the SUG level in ur school,what do u do with the money u get,u think when u become the governor u would turn a new leaf. See let's put our priorities, let us look within,there is no reason why Africans can't stay in Africa, rather than typing black lives matter,no disrespects awareness is important but we need more than that Respect is earned, that is the way the world works whether we like it or not 1 Like |

anonymous1759:FIFA and UEFA are in support of gay rights,do u think they can influence Nigeria to decriminalize homosexuality ? FIFA and UEFA are football governing bodies they are limited when it comes to non football related issues Fans who racially abuse footballers in the stadium are usually banned from entering the stadium for life,what else do u want them to do ? Earlier this season Bernando Silva was engaging in a banter with Benjamin Mendy and his post was misinterpreted wasn't he handed a 3 match ban and fined for something totally innocuous With players racially abusing fellow players it is usually hard to substantiate such accusations but if there is a case were such was clearly demonstrated and FIFA handled it with kid gloves please refer me to such incident 3 Likes |

Ezemeiyogu:Op listen to this fellow Nobody is perfect Talk about his flaws with him but the approach is the most important,if u take a mature or better still a romantic approach to it u would fix him and it relationship would be even more stable. Let me assume he loves football,how about u start engaging him on that,even if u don't know any football star besides Kanu and Okocha let him do the talking,find out the things he likes and allow him express himself and even if it doesn't interest u just find a way to keep the conversation going. 2 Likes |

trutht828:That is my point. If it is sexual harassment like u said then sue her,that's the right thing to do Don't u think that the punishment of a crime should be of the same magnitude or at least similar to the offense So a woman dresses maybe to look sexy and just because of that u violate her and put her through trauma that could destroy her life and maybe even lead her to depression and suicide Haba uncle Are u saying that Boko Haram is right for bombing people because they are disgusted with foreign education,they consider it a sin worse than a woman exposing her body |
