Another white man invention being thrown about by black people; “people of colour”
Black people are hopeless!
No, people of color has nothing to do with invention.

Everyone on earth belongs to a color.

But being labeled with the wrong color is worse off when that color has been attributed to negativity.

An African is first his ethnic group, then African before being called by his color which is Brown and never black.

Do you know what Europeans, Americans, Asians call themselves when it comes to personalization?

Can you share if you do?

Thank you!
Honestly, we are totally FFKed with this new generation across the black world. They have abandoned history!
An identity lost is a very dangerous aspect in anyone's life.

Africans have lost their identity both mentally and socially.

All these you have written, are they the reason Nigeria has refused to develop after many years of independence?
Not just Nigeria but countries occupied by people of color.

It's in the mental subconsciousness and gets passed down from one generation to another.

I didn't write it, you can actually find out more on why the label has done alot of harm to the mental abilities of a man of color occupying Africa and other areas of the world.

[b]"Depicting or labelling one’s perceived opponent negatively has throughout history been a pre-requisite for tragedy or crimes of an international nature. In Nazi Germany, Jews were portrayed as subhuman. Before that, in Leopold’s Congo, locals were called "indigene" or backwards. In Rwanda in 1994, Tutsis were called "cockroaches" by their Hutu killers. And the Rohingya in Myanmar are pejoratively called "Bengali."

The same logic applied in the heyday of imperialism. Africans had to be dehumanised in European society to facilitate their enslavement, colonisation and exploitation of their land; hence the label "black" because calling them African (or in their Yoruba, Benga, Shanti, Igbo, Mandinka or Kongo names) recognises their humanity, history, culture and heritage.

Throughout much of the last 400 years, to keep African people in a subordinate position, the term "black" or "noir" in European politics, literature or popular culture has been used both literally and figuratively to mean anything and everything nasty, evil, terrible, dreadful. God and anything pure and innocent or right is 'white'."[/b]

No it doesn't get full.
It cannot get full (except sanitary pads or diapers are flushed into it, which we all know as the causes of chamber blockages)
It last as long as the building is still standing.

You and I are in the exact position, down to the thought process. We have ruled out Ikorodu for the same set of reasons and tilted towards Ibeju-Lekki. Bogije (Beechwood Estate specifically) is at the top of our list and we have been there twice. This weekend, we will be going to the area again to inspect couple of estates, make a final decision and commit to it immediately. Our rent will be due in about a year and we don't plan on renewing it. Our budget is about the same as yours and what's more disturbing is that it is fast losing value and purchasing power. Our only concern now is if good and affordable schools and hospital/healthcare is in the vicinity.
What did you end up with?

Please stop spamming the thread.
You can simply open your own thread and post the link to your thread on here. It’s very annoying trying to stroll pass these junks.
This is happening because others won't stop spamming the thread with paints, tiles, inverters etc adverts.

Since we didn't tell those ones off, more and more will keep spamming the thread.

This is supposed to be a building construction discussion thread, but what do we have? It has turned something else.

There is a report button on the thread though.

Is it not foolish for you to go around telling people what they should do within themselves when you do not know them?

Clearly you lack wisdom to know how to do the right thing at the right time in the right place

If you want to embark on a crusade to get people to stop calling themselves "black" because you believe it is a misnomer is this how to go about it and do you think you will succeed? That is what wisdom is about
Talk like a civilized man and not what your yellow European masters tagged you: "Uncivilized".

My initial comment was mild, polite without insults, but you responded by acting like a black man indeed as described by your yellow European masters.

You used the word "Black" to describe yourself, hence my trying to educate you, but it seems you're not different from the rest with lost identities.

You are fighting against your ethnic group being called a tribe but insulting someone who's trying to remind you of where it all started from.

You have no right to tell me where and when to correct a wrong statement on a public forum.

Slavery is skin deep.

Good day.

That is a Phd subject and while it is interesting it is irrelevant here.
If you want to debate that create a thread for that. Bringing that subject here is indicative of an unfocussed mind
If you are sincere create a thread and I will gladly join you . With respect within the context of this thread it is the sort of tangential remark one expects from a child or an adult with ADHD
I did not comment for debate
It's not a question you must answer here but a question you should answer within yourself.

I choose to ignore the rest of the irrelevant writeups

Why? Because when they came you allowed them to replace your gods with theirs. Effectively you have no gods but are enslaved to the idea of their god and also the Arabic god.
You have been made to believe that you are not in the plan of "God" unless you follow THEIR book and all your stories of "GOD" are wrong but that a supreme God chose Hebrews above YOU. In that narrative there is NOT ONE ACCOUNT of "God" talking to black men
What is the problem ? Many of us believe that with either "The Bible says" or The Quran says psychology
NOT ONE time did Jehovah or Allah talk to any of our ancestors in Nigeria? Well deep down if we believe that can we really like ourselves?
Well I do not accept that I think there are no greater evils that have befallen the black African than Christianity and Islam
But you are not black to begin with.

Who tagged you black?

So, YOU are a black man, correct?

So YOU, if you became a leader, would grow 10 times in ego and pride, become mean, heartless and unsympathetic, correct?

SAY YES.

See, I don't like when some of you imbeciles come in here and say ''black people are'' this negative thing or the other. Say ''I AM....'' (whatever negative characteristic). That's the correct way.

This cognitive dissonance whereby you imbeciles attach all this negativity to black people while being black yourself, and imagining you are somehow exempt from your hideous characterisation of the race, simply needs to stop.

It is senseless and untenable. The people who invented racism did not say ''some'' blacks are stupid or inferior or unworthy. They said ALL blacks are that way. So excluding yourself makes no sense.

So if you think ''black people'' are whatever, start by saying ''I AM'' that thing you are labelling them as, be it dumb, evil, wicked, selfish, corrupt etc etc.

Else you're exhibiting extreme idiocy.

Thank you.
You were never black
Europeans tagged you black to degrade you.

Your color is not black and was never black

KNOW who you are, know peace and progress.

You are a man of color, not a black man!

Mumu,
So you knew the kind of hate you were going to receive yet you missed the goal.

Then it's okay to say you deserved it.
Rather it's safe to say you deliberately missed that penalty shot to trigger sympathy.

No wonder Chiellini dragged you like a houseboy.
England's biggest mistake was to overrate you.
They gave you a role people will kill for but all you were hungry for was to score a cheap race goal.

I hate you Saka.
