WombRaiders:
Putin with Japanese Emperor



Bold confident hand clasp and that cold prideful stare.

Meanwhile Obuma bows to another sovereign head.

Africans speak so much on "culture". In Japan it is customary to bow, that is a sign of respect and is completely normal there. The emperor likely bowed to him too. These pics are the same type of propaganda they play in the US to hate on Obama. They take a screenshot and say weak but when you watch the video you see something completely different.

talk2cj08:
The Government of USA has just passed the ‘Obama Health Care’ bill to law and it will take effect from March 23, 2013.The bill entails that all American MUST have a CHIP known as a “Radio Frequency Identification” (RFID) implanted in their right hand skin or forehead in order to access medical services. Still wondering why it has to be, or is it the confirmation of the prophecy of the 666?
The Bible Prophecy Connection
While this bill will not be signed into law in its current form, it definitely is a shadow of things to come in the near future. According to Revelation 13:5-8, the Beast, otherwise known as the Anti-Christ, is given power over all peoples:
5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.
We also know from Daniel 7:23 that the fourth and last world kingdom, ruled by the Anti-Christ, will be so powerful that it will control the whole earth.
23 “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.
How does the Anti-Christ gain control over all the people of the world? More than likely it will be through programs and policies, such as the microchip, or the laws being passed. For instance, the Obama administration has been filled with controversy unlike any other administration in American history from abortion rights, to religion to health care.
Some time ago a law was passed through congress and signed by Obama that made it illegal to grow your own garden. Now this may seem ridiculous, because what are they going to do, arrest people for growing tomatoes in their own yard? As funny as it sounds, there is an ultimate agenda here. By passing a law such as this one, the Anti-Christ can get people to rely solely on the government for the food that they need. When the mark of the beast comes out in full force, everyone will be required to have a chip in their hand or forehead in order to buy or sell, that includes buying food. It starts with the health care bill. If everyone agreed to get the chip for health care, then it would be easy to say that not only will your medical records be stored on the chip, but also all of your banking and financial information. It will be easy to convert once the chip is in place.
The Bible says that there will be a mark and no person can buy or sell without that mark:
Revelation 13: 16-18 16
It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.
It’s time to WAKE UP! and realize that as the government takes away our freedoms by monitoring the populace through police power and surveillance, they will be setting the stage for the Anti-Christ to takeover more easily every tribe, people, language and nation.

Im American, some time has passed and I must say this post is full of it. I received my insurance and services without this fantastic fantasy you speak of. Why do you post articles with low credibility, ive seen this twice now. Its like if I was posting phony articles on Nigeria.

KingSango:
Africans should be cautious not to buy into well planned and orchestrated illusions. You don't know the identity of the bodies of the people killed. You don't know if they are foreigners or just random people killed and thrown into a pile. Mainly you don't know who killed them, when, where and how they were killed, and for what reason? Illuminati was behind the massacre in Rwanda. The Illuminati was behind Ide Amin and he was scapegoated for killing thousands when they were killing people too! Normal human beings can't stomach killing other human beings without being ignited by some sort of vengeance of someone killing their family. Only Illuminati, Luciferians and demon worshipers kill with impunity and have no remorse, in fact enjoy killing and eating of human flesh. What many of you children and I mean those of you who think like children or sheep who don't understand harsh real world facts. There are people who serve the underworld and they sacrifice people to demons for money, power and fame. These underworld people kill people everyday all over this planet. These people have been worshiping demons for so long they have become possessed by them and they are no longer human beings, meaning the soul no longer lives in these men. They are capable of any type of depravity and cruelty. This is how White Supremacy has come to rule this planet. Their world is an undoing of the world of light and love. They love to make mock of our wanting peace and prosperity with our fellow Africans. So they are killing Africans and blaming it on South Africans to ignite a genocide like they did in Rwanda and so many parts of Africa in the past. When will we get this? This open letter could be one of them posing as a Nigerian or some naive person who is now acting an agent to this illusion. Wake up.

South Africans Blacks are not against other Africans. I have meet many South Africans here in the U.S.A and I've never heard one not express solidarity with the rest of Africa including African Diaspora. Not one. I've never meet any Africans who didn't feel solidarity with other Africans. Now I've meet some brainwashed African Americans who don't identify with being African but this is the result of 100s of years of mental slavery. Each African must do his or her best not to go down the dark tunnel of hate and evil because the Illuminati keeps us in illusions who compel us to make wrong choices. We should be focusing upon building each day a world of love and light. Love, Sango.

From an African American, you took the words right out my mouth.

My name is Lovelyn Chidinma Nwadeyi. I am a Nigerian. Born in Nigeria to two Nigerian parents. Raised in Queenstown, Eastern Cape by those same Nigerian parents right up until I completed my Bachelors at Stellenbosch.

Growing up in South Africa, I was always reminded by those around me that I was different to everyone else. In primary school, I had a much darker complexion than I do now, and super white teeth – the telling marks of a foreigner that betray you even when you put on your best English accent. It is just too obvious.

I bear citizenship of both worlds. I speak fluent Xhosa, Igbo, Afrikaans and English. I can make sense of Tswana and Sotho. I enjoy a good braai, I love vetkoek and bunny-chow. I can’t get enough of Bokomo WeetBix, I love Ouma’s rusks and I can pull off my panstulas with any outfit on a lazy Saturday when I want to head to town. I am the first to break it down with the ngwaza and the dombolo at the sound of some decent house music or kwaito be it in Pick n Pay or at a party.

I can sokkie and I enjoy it (albeit with my two left feet). My darkest moments can be reversed by koeksisters and a cup of rooibos tea any day. I can jump between the high pitched and arguably annoying accents of some Constantia moms, the lank kif and apparently sophisticated English of my Hilton brothers and the heavy accents of my fellow Eastern Capers. I can attempt the fast paced, lyrical Afrikaans of my coloured brothers in the Cape and I can serve you the best butternut soup you have ever known.

I am as South African as you need me to be.

But my ability to navigate all these spaces did not just happen. Learning to blend into all these spaces was a matter of survival for me.

You see from the day I set foot in Queenstown and started primary school, it was always made very clear to me that I was an outsider. I only had white friends from my first few years in school, because the other black girls couldn’t understand why I was black but only spoke in English. They thought I thought I was better than them. So I spent most of my breaks humbly eating my peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwich, surrounded by those who had Melrose cheese and Provita Crackers with Bovril and/or marmite sandwiches in their lunchboxes. The rest of the time I spent alone, save the few brave souls of similar complexion who tried to befriend me.

What nobody knew was that for the first three years of my life in South Africa, my little brother and I barely saw my dad more than twice a month. What was he doing absent from the home, other than selling pillowcases, duvets and bedsheets, from door to door on foot through the streets, villages and side roads of the old Transkei and Ciskei? My father would leave the house on Monday mornings after him and my mom got us ready for school, and he would be gone for days and weeks, selling the few pillowcases and bedsheets he had from door to door. On foot. We were never sure when he would return. But when he did, we were always more grateful for his safety and aliveness than anything else.

From Queenstown to Cala, Umtata, Qumbu, Qoqodala, Whittlesea, Mount Fletcher, King Williamstown, Mdantsane, Bhisho, Indwe, Butterworth, Aliwal North and even as far as Matatiele and Kokstad. There are so many other places he went to that I do not even know.

That is how my parents put us through school, until they saved up enough money to open their own little shop where they then started selling sewing machines, cotton and then community phones. Then sweets and chips and take-aways; and then hair products and the list goes on and on. It was on this that I was able to go through primary school, high school, and university. My parents have no tertiary education; it was only in their late 40s that both of them decided to register for part-time studies at Walter Sisulu to get their Diplomas. Note: Diplomas.

It took them four years, because they were busy trying to keep their kids in school, and keep selling their sweets and sewing machines while attempting to dignify their efforts with a degree.

My story is not unique – it is the story of most foreigners in South Africa. Very few foreigners come into SA with skills that make them employable here. Unless you are a medical doctor, an academic and maybe an engineer or well-established businessman before coming here, your chances of getting meaningful employment in SA are as limited as those of the United States letting Al-Qaeda members off the hook – almost impossible.

Most foreigners come to SA with the ability to braid hair, carve wood, or sell fruits, veggies, clothes, fizz pops, carpets and soap before they can find their feet here. Some are graduates…but what can another African degree do for you in SA? And any foreigner in SA will tell you that that is the truth. All of us started from below the bottom. Doing work that carries no dignity, no respect and very little financial gain. But when you have left or lost everything that you know and love and end up in a foreign land as unwelcoming in its laws and restrictions as South Africa, you have little choice available to you.

I can bet you that there is not up to 10% of South Africans who would be willing to do the menial and embarrassing work my parents and other foreigners did for as long as they did it, and for as little as they did it, were you to ask them today. So it annoys me, to the deepest part of my being when I see a South African open their mouth and cry “foul” against innocent foreigners. Let’s discuss this:

Arachnophobia – the fear of spiders.

Claustrophobia – the fear of small/tight/enclosed spaces.

Xenophobia – the fear of foreigners.

However individuals who are afraid of spiders do not go around killing spiders, rather they avoid spiders. Equally, individuals who are afraid of small and tight spaces do not go around trying to eliminate the existence of small spaces.

Thus xenophobia does not by definition imply the killing of foreigners. Yet, we continue to label this current wave of killings and murders in SA as xenophobic – and now the cooler term – “Afrophobic” attacks. Can we please just get real? What is happening in SA is a genocide, a genocide fuelled by a deep-seated hatred for which no single foreigner is responsible.

Before, you say this is too extreme, allow me to explain.

Genocide is the systematic/targeted killing of a specific tribe or race.

In South Africa’s case, this would be the senseless killings of non-South Africans, mostly those of African origin and some Pakistani, Bangladeshi and other non-African minorities.

I think the government, South African and international media are being too cowardly to call it what it is. They know what is going on in South Africa and yet they refuse to acknowledge it for fear of who knows what. Is it because their numbers are not high enough? Should we wait until a few good hundred thousand foreigners have been murdered before we speak the truth?

So now the value of human lives is being reduced to a debate on politically correct terms and phrases to protect certain interests. People are being butchered in the streets, and the country is worrying about bad PR. I hate that now, on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, everyone is now trying to say, “Oh no, it’s not all South Africans that are doing this, hey. Just a few of those people there.” South Africans are trying to distance themselves from what is happening in their own backyards as though it is of any consolation to those watching their family members being sizzled in rubber rings. As if that is what matters – true South African style.

This is not the first wave of attacks of this nature in South Africa. In fact, the 2008 attacks were much worse in terms of raw numbers of casualties suffered than these have been so far. The issue of xenophobia is not a new one in SA. However, the differentiator in 2015 is that this wave is backed by a strong ideology; that somehow these attacks can be and are justified.

An ideology that sees merit in the argument that foreigners are stealing the jobs of locals, that they are stealing their women, that these “makwerekwere” are the cause of most ills in South African society.

It is a shame how uninformed and how baseless these arguments are. Foreigners do not and CANNOT steal jobs in SA. Do you know how hard it is to get South African papers, just to get into the country – not to talk of getting a work permit and convincing any company to take on the cost of employing you as a foreigner? Unless you have some freaking scarce skills in the country – it just does not happen like that.

Secondly, just shut up and stop it. South Africans who embibe these arguments are lazy. There is a disgusting entitlement that is attached to this notion that jobs can be stolen. This implies that there are jobs waiting for you – of which there are none.

There are no freaking jobs waiting for anyone. Pick up a bucket and start washing cars. Put on your shoes and walk through your streets, sell tomatoes, eggs and tea – anything people eat, they will buy. Or pick up a book, hustle your way into university, work for a scholarship and get yourself an education. But stop this senselessness. Nobody is stealing your jobs.

I got my first job when I was 11-years-old. I worked on the school bus in my town. I collected money for the bus driver, wrote out receipts and kept order on the bus. I didn’t get paid much, but it helped me learn first that nothing comes easy, I learnt to be responsible and accountable to someone else. Secondly it helped me pay for little extramural expenses I did at school which were not the priority for my parents at the time (and rightly so). In ‘varsity, even though I had a tuition bursary, I worked two part-time jobs and one contract job for the entire three years at Stellenbosch so I could pay for my good, clothes and some additional materials etc. Yes my parents supported me as best they could, but naturally, part of growing up is that you don’t bother your parents for every Rand you need.

So people see me and my family now, several years later driving a decent car and living in an average house and they say, “Ningama kwekwere, asinifuni apha. Niqaphele, aningobalapha.”

“You are foreigners, we do not want you here. You better watch out, you are not of this place,” – unaware of and unwilling to hear of the years of struggle and hustle that came with the decent car and the average house. [Which, by the way, you can never fully own as SA law now restricts ownership of property by foreigners – but that is another discussion.]

And what has been the government’s response to the worsening unemployment and crime situation in the cities and suburbs that incites this violence and dissatisfaction amongst its people? To tighten immigration laws, border controls and any little room the foreigner may have had to just maybe survive in the menacing streets of Johannesburg. As if that is where the problem began.

Is it not the way our economy is structured? That there is limited room for unskilled labour in the workforce? That those who are not vocationally trained must then settle for employment outside of their existing areas of knowledge such as artisans, plumbers and electricians – whereas these skills are equally needed in a developing economy? That we have this thing called BEE which in practice just ensures that the Black bourgeoisie get wealthier by hook or by crook while still protecting and cushioning the impact of democracy on old, white money and big business?

Is it really the little Ethiopian man with his spaza shop that is threatening your progress na Bhuthi? Is it really the Nigerian woman who braids hair and sells Fanta that is stealing your job and place in your own land na Sisi? I can’t deal.

If none of these arguments have merit for you, then think of the fact that during apartheid, Nigeria spent thousands of dollars on the ANC protecting and moving its members across borders; Angola, Mozambique, Tanzania, Burundi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda all housed, supported and/or trained struggle heros with open arms and with no strings attached. How dare South Africans forget how much Africans did for them during apartheid. How dare you!

South Africans, go and learn your history. When you have read your history, then please teach the correct version to your children. Let them know that Africa helped put SA where it is now. Let them know that all blacks are not Xhosa or Zulu, but that that is irrelevant to the amount of dignity you accord to another human being. Teach your children that they must work for everything they want to have except your love as a parent. Teach your children that they are nothing without their neighbour – stop being selective about who Ubuntu applies to and does not. Teach them the truth about you.

The greatest enemy of the black man has always been himself. Not the colonialists. Not the apartheid architects. Only himself.

And as long as you refuse to take responsibility for where you are now, you will remain there. Kill us foreigners or not, it actually makes very little difference to your fortunes in life, people of Mzansi.

Once a slave is a slave for forever, we are Nigerian we shall never be a slave to anyone.

Except the British, you forgot them. And Boko Haram, they act with impunity. Bring our girls back, he laughed in your face and sent your girls back to blow u up. Since u do nothing u are a slave until u destroy them. Have a good day sir.

AAinEqGuinea:
I appreciate western Africans who are inclined in helping African Americans find what could be their history. We haven't lost our DNA because our ancestors' fingers touched cotton, contrary to other ra.pe fetishes and self-serving folklore of domination many may choose to believe.

Thanks for the comments, I value your insights. Greetings from America.

AAinEqGuinea:
Firstly, white Americans can be equally lazy and daft. We give them too much undeserving credit.

Secondly, with every election season in America, conservatives deploy a modern version of what is known as the Southern Strategy, in which denigration now includes Mexicans and other non-white foreigners (also includes rights to own high powered guns, women's rights, and Judeo-Christian values). This charade is expected, sadly. Trump is appealing to the Republican's base voting bloc; the most vile, hyperbolic, racist, and impressionable Americans. They'll gladly believe a lie if it makes them feel superior.

My guess is that he included Africans because of the "alarming" increase of African migrants to Europe. Trump's perception has to matter to Europeans too in addition to a racial and xenophobic component of the same Republican base concerned about the fear of the shifting culture of their white motherland.

Sure, AA and Africans aren't perfect, but selective observation works best to appease a shallow and dense population like theirs, played yet again by the Southern Strategy.

Ur right there are many low life white people in America and foreigners give them a free pass daily for no reason. This lazy AA crap is basic minded stereotypes straight from the tongues of white men why do you guys fall for okeydokes.

Africans have much worse stereotypes of ofbloody brutality and starvation but I dont parrot everywhere. Its sad that that the descendants of the ancestors attack us with the very statements we watched the white man create ourselves. Lazy people starve and im not starving.

phreakabit:


Trump said nothing wrong. For starters MOST indigenous AFRICAN AMERICANS detest being called Africans. So they aren't Africans. OP your title is utterly misleading. I hate this Don Trump clown, but I can't fault him for telling the truth. MOST African Americans are Lazy, don't want to work , buy expensive items well above their budget, have sex like dogs, eat chicken and water melon, drink Kool aid, party and have fun. You get called a whimp or a simp if you have a job. Might sound harsh and stereotypical but it is the truth. Whats even annoying is they seem to exhibit this foolery without the slightest care in the world. They actually do this to make it OBVIOUS to the ignorant that WDGAF!

This article is fake and he never said this. You guys obviously believe anything. He said deport illegal Mexicans, not Kenyans, there hardly anyKenyans here compared to Mexicans and Kenyans bother no one. This article is a lie if he said this his enemies would have siezed upon this. No man becomes leader of the free world without American black support believe that. This is why they suck up to us every four years.

smoothlips:
the guy just said the obvious...African Americans are lazy people period. and African leaders are thieves period. African countries import matchsticks from Indonesia, India and china period.
internet is owned by Oyibo Period.....so what exactly is wrong with black people?
the guy said the truth period

Im an American and I announce today this so called article is fake. If had said any of those things there would be wall to wall news coverage and he would be verbally attacked ruthlessly. They talk about this guy every day and ive heard it all, I follow this election closely. Trumps every move and word is examined under a microscope. He might have called Mexicans rapists but never said anything u guys claim it would be trumpeted every where (no pun intended). There are many seeking to take him down and that would seal it here. No one in America says things about African Americans or Africans like that in the United states and gets away with it I assure you.

And for the record, im not lazy. Lazy people starve, and im not starving. Nothing is free here. Dont believe the hype.

anonymous6:


We'll I understand that America is a white society cause I was born and raised in America but my parents are Nigerian so I understand what you mean about how the successes of african kingdoms at one point we're being connected to non-black Africans until recently the truth is out. To be honest you are a rarity when it comes to african Americans knowing other african kingdoms and I commend you in what you are doing with you african kingdoms book. The african Americans I have met when the discussion leads to Africa, all they talk about is Egypt soley. So this where I based it off from.

I said that in broad terms, obviously I don't mean all blacks are ostentatious. There are some problems within both Nigerian and African American society that do need to be corrected and I pointed that out. I know there are plenty of well educated African Americans and I stated that on this thread. I just pointed out some of the negative things in both Nigerian and Africa American society, don't take it as if I'm insulting blacks.

Thank you your answer and no offense taken.

EzeUche:


It is just a matter of time when we will have added them to the Igbo race. I see a bright future for us all.

Hi, nice to hear that from you.

yomi007k:

U r no different from the white man.

U think becos ur American,we are ur slaves?

U come here talking down on everybody. Just typical of ur kind

U are lost, atleast I have identity but u will never be accepted by them nor by us.

Sir, please grow up. I'm a grown man I'm not looking for acceptance into a club. I'm an unassuming person, why would I want to rule over you? Domineering is not my style. You seem to want a problem with me and for no reason.

I have an identity and look these white men straight in their face, they intimidate nothing here and they are not gods. I dont need a white mans acceptance, if you lived here and knew this culture like I do you would know that half of them want acceptance from us. This is why they show up with black lives matter signs.

These freaks have us under a microscope daily and imitate our every move in everything, which sounds like an oxymoron but is true.

Your fantasy that im a lost crying black man who lost his mother stems from your own superiority complex sir. This was all whipped up by white people I keep trying to tell you this but you are stubborn. I can't keep debating this, man. I debate these euroclowns about Africans daily with a spirit they cant resist and I shut them down.

The white man is the cause of your problems not me or us. Im iinside the belly of the beast and im trying to warn you they are working on ways to wipe you out. This is not disrespect or a lie, it is true. If I didn't care I simply wouldn't tell you. That's why I do what I do. Work on your attitude and your people instead of attacking me. We've been attacked by the most violent people on earth, so issuing threats and blowing hot air will not work here.

Therefore, accusing me of lying and whatever weird thing you've been on doesn't affect my dignity one bit. Accusing me of some kind of acceptance looking says more about you than me. You can accuse and attack all day but I will be me - an African who is an American. We represent many tribes and peoples - I can produce a certificate of ancestry can you?

Here in America it is easy to find out where your nearest ancestors came from exactly. But in genetics, all people are made of many tribes no matter the location. Anyway im done debating this. Your attitude is belligerent towards me. I call you an ancient king you attack me. Why can't you see your behavior was born from West European and American think tanks, their power of the mind is vast and you fell right for it. Im right here watching them do it.

The difference between me and you is I have massive awareness and wont be emotionally swayed by anyone or anything anywhere. You speak from ignorance painting me out as a confused hooligan. Im done with conversation and your rash words. Goodbye.

yomi007k:


Talk about who has attitude....u are the Terrorist. The one who fails to speak the truth n feed us with lies so that we remain ignorant

Watever mehn.

Have a good day too.

Sir it is the white man that feeds you lies not me. I call you a great king he calls you an illiterate ape. And you dare to insult me for standing in front of powerful men and saying you're not an ape but a king That is insanity. Im glad tthe sane brothers prevail in your society or Africa would be in deep trouble.

Cheers

yomi007k:

Its obvious ur lack manner of approach jus like a typical black monkey.

I'm a blackman myself n I reside in Africa which puts me in the best position to tell u wat is going on.

U say u wanna write about Africans, d same people u know nothing about.
Can u trace ur "forgotten" roots? Which part of Africa were ur fore fathers taken from.

Take a trip to Africa if u dare, d same blackman u defend all over the media will be the one to Kidnap u, rob u, rape ur kids or probably blow u up.

U shud be grateful ur forefathers were taken as slaves, for if u were here- Hell wud have been a better place.

U can say watever, it won't change the TRUTH from down here.

#shalom

Kind sir I know exactly who I am, where I'm from, and where I'm going stop speaking from the anus boy you affect nothing here. I will defend Africans and write to infinity. I can teach things about your own and origins you never knew, but you deserve to know nothing. Your place in life is imaginary because great powers seek to dominate you again from outside. Are you prepared for that fight? Open your eyes before your enemy is upon you since we are speaking from positions. You speak of approaches when you speak like a terrorist.

As for going to Africa, thousands of us live in your land while I have family living in Nigeria and you have done absolutely nothing. "Bring our girls back" remember that? You did nothing there too. You can get robbed and raped too here too it goes both ways sir, trust me. There's a reason the almighty white man fears us. As for "forgotten" roots and history, I never forgot anything, I simply learned it from the source. Therefore your hostility is a joke.

As for your attitude, it is effeminate, perhaps you are a terrorist since you speak evil. As for me, I will continue taking the world to school and that includes you. Thank you for answering and have a good day.

I'm back with another video recommendation, this one covers Ife & Benin from the 12th-19th Centuries.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmB_L7gfR6k&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I'm an African American and my thing is cultural anthropology and history. I saw that West Africa has had some sophisticated empires and kingdoms. I wanted to share this excellent video that shows some of that greatness.

Cheers

bigfrancis21:


You are one in a thousand african americans who openly embrace their african ancestry. Majority do not like to identify with africa or africans or are the least bothered about knowing their tribal ancestry in africa.

I would say 1 in 500 but I can't speak for everyone. There's been a covert campaign to indoctrinate people against Africans since the 18th Century here in America. They are very insecure about your empires coming back. The is the root of it. So its been so long its engrained in society. However, when Africans come here and become friends its a wonderful thing. However, we do have immature people running around, as any where.

I don't blame you, actually. I do apologize on behalf of everyone for the ignorant ones. They want to be mistaken for Europeans.

aim5:


True true. Both American blacks and Nigerians are too ostentatious for my liking. And the materialism has to be nipped in the bud as well because that has led to the moral decadence of African American Society and even in Nigerian society.

Your ignorance is astounding and I question if you are white. You might as well be from Alabama.

That is a bunch of propaganda fed to you through mass media. As for myself and my friends, we don't subscribe to materialism and the latest fad, so have a good day with that theory. I subscribe to education and awarness. I put in work everyday shutting racist eurocentrics down online who criticize Africans history and culture brutally. They teach people that u have no culture and history. There is even a professor at Oxford that said this.

If you knew anything you would know that many of us put in hard work showing people the great things Africans have done and exposing ethnocentric lies about you and then you turn around say this?

The people you speak of belong in the 16-24 age group for the most part, so I kindly ask you not to denigrate our fathers and mothers this way, especially when many of us are educated. Even still people like my son are handsome and educated since I come from a family that stresses education - not 2Pac & Piggie Little.

I hate that hooligans represent us all. If I was ignorant like you I would believe all Nigerian men were like Boko Haram and that Nigerians kidnap and molest children for a living. But of course I dont think that! I think for myself. I see Nigerians are educated, not child molester ISIS wannabes. I myself am a cultural anthropologist and strive to represent cultures the proper way specifically because of this 500 year campaign of euroclown propaganda.

I mean no disrespect, but any cultural anthropologist will tell you that blanket statements are an easy way to get yourself discredited. Thank you.

onila:
they go to school but not as much like other communities

black Americans look down on Africans, they say we stink and are dark
not a big fan of them

even Caribbeans hate black Americans

Who told we hate tou? Who said you stink? Did someone say this to your face? What you do smell like is European propaganda.

For your information many of us love Africa, love Africans and look up to. When you walk down the street together here we say there go the Africans. I made recommiment to education when I saw how important it was to West Africa and Timbuktu. I have written many pages ob your history and have been championing you for a long time. This Euroclown propaganda has to stop. Anything you hear like that comes from White people. Go to any tribal video on YouTube and witness the hate in the cesspool that is the comments section.

I say all the time that I value Africans because the are our mothers and fathers. Mexicans Europeans and Asians are not out ancestors in the ancient past. In fact the manager of my building I live is African American and the lobby is decorated African style. The Ethiopian women working here are like family to me and I stand in solidarity against slavery of the brothers and sisters in Mauritania.

So please get a mind of your own. You can start by talking to educated AAs, not listening to these rumours. Thats what I did, I went to the Africans and I think u are great. I learnt more listening to Africans than listening to a white man. Thank you for your time.

spot on, That's the only African kingdom African American's like to talk about. It is just recently people are mentioning sub-Saharan African kingdoms now from BBC and Aljazeera, sub-Saharan African kingdoms are starting to get their recognition now

I noticed that many Africans have no idea how American society works or how much it passionately hates them. (I mean white American society.)

Sir saying all we know of is Egypt is a stereotype and propaganda. In fact I'veve been working all year long on a book of fabulous African kingdoms. You must understand that there's an unspoken white policy of denigrating and ignoring your kingdoms. Here the average map of ancient kingdoms throughout history leaves Africa blank except for Egypt. So please understand this is why. They also lie about African history and attribute everything u did to themselves and Arabs, even Zimbabwe and Swahili Coast history. That is what we and YOU are dealing with and why Im writing my book.

I have thousands of photos of African artifacts and thousands of pages of African history I have collected over the years.

As for Egypt, you must understand there is a deep propaganda campaign going on to attribute that society to Arabs and Europeans. This is why they keep Egypt ambiguous. I wrote a thesis on this already, the Bardarian and Nagada people gave birth to Egypt and they were as black as you, trust me, this has been established but this is irrelevant now.

Anyway, its just the Egyptian advocates are loudest about Egypt because there is a covert war to establish African history as white history. There are even white men here who say no black African EVER stepped foot in North Africa, never mind the fact that the original black Berbers remain to this day. This is why they invented the term "Sub-Saharan" African" which is simply an educated way to say "niggers." This is a racist term and repeating it simply empowers them. Anyway, it gets deeper than that and these are my two cents. Thank you sir.

The reason blacks suffer is becos dey r LAZY.

They jus wanna drink, have sex, have kids, party, show off expensive things...all of which leads to crime due to indiscipline.

Not to talk of lack of unity amongst them.

This is the reason other races don't like dem n treat dem like crap becos dey act like crap.

We need to change MINDSET.

Sir I am Afro American and you sound like an utter euroclown parrot. My family is educated, I am educated, my girl is conservative, I champion Africans daily, I am writing a book on African history and your fabulous empires,my father is a civil engineer, my grandfather worked in law enforcement, my sons mother works in healthcare, and AAs call the police more than anybody. The people you speak of are the clowns the Anglos present to u on a silver platter.

Using ur logic Africans are AIDS infested rapists who never wrote a book, are weak sunhumans deserving of nothing that lay down in slums but I know this is Euroclown propaganda. Therefore, renew your own mind sir. I mean no disrespect. Many of us here pray for your success in all things. It is frustrating to deal with European style propaganda and African propaganda. It is all born from the same father. Many of us are scientists, doctors, attorneys, civil servants, educators and yes inventors. I suggest u read 1001 Things Everyone Should Know About African American History it will open your eyes to ur euroclown devilry.

And dont forget our blood sweat and tears allows u to come at any time to our country and enjoy a life free of harrassment. Dont ever forget if not for our fight, if not for our revolution, you would be denied service everywhere, kind sir. In fact a young white hack said the other day that Africans are the scourge of the earth - AND I DEFENDED YOU ALL WHETHER U WANTED ME TO OR NOT.

As for unity, you speak from the anus sir. Dont believe the hype. Africans have no right to speak on unity. Your tribalism was exploited by the Euroclown to his advantage, you do know this right?

These people u speak of are the cartoon characters of society, there are white people just like them, only white style, but u wouldn't know this because u didnt grow up here. Do you really think a fully grown man or woman of a mature age speaks of partying, sex and beer? Get your act together, sir, seriously.

The reason we "suffer" (I don't suffer) is because the American white man is envious of us and you too. They think we will usurp their place in society, as evidenced by Mr. Obama. I have already written a thesis exposing their massive insecurity. Therefore sir, they hate you and everything you stand for. You disrespect your self by feeding off his plate of propaganda. Good day, sir.

I recently watched a YouTube video with this African American lightskinned guy stating that African Americans are the chosen people on this planet. He said that African Americans are number one in the racial/ethnic hierarchy and that they ruled as kings and queens in Africa as overlords over Africans. To cut the long story short, I listened to his video in it's entirety and it got me thinking about the information this man spewed. And to be honest, he may have a point because African Americans have produced the best athletes, singers and entertainers in the world and also some of the world's most popular trends started in African American neighborhoods. I'd like to know what you guys think about this? Do you feel that the blacks in America are the chosen people?

Before reading any of the responses here, let chime in. THIS GUY DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ALL OF US. His garbage about ruling Africans is unscientific. A lot of these guys have low self esteem thanks to wall to wall white devilry. You cant listen to clowns like that. Many of us militants uplift Africans and say u are the greatest of all time. It helps to observe educated AAs, not street clowns.

However, there is an army of white people in America that imitate everything we do and observe us under a microscope daily and I find this behavior bizarre after all that happened.I regularly observe white men calling other other white men "nigga", for example. Anyway, that in the video u mentioned is a clown who speaks for himself. ONE LOVE TO ALL AFRICANZ

The question is: who are the Cushites and Nilotes today, and who were they in the past? Once we find an answer to that, then we'll find out that most of the Cushites and Nilotes today aren't necessarily the ones of the past - they migrated into the groups and adopted their language and way of life. However, most of the ones of the past have evolved into different groups. Also, the Bantu language also falls under the Niger-Congo linguistic group. So perhaps, the Niger-Congo group might be a fusion of these new groups and the bantoids.

If we can break down the origins of Niger-Congo family, the language itself, the different migration waves of the people - then we'll get a clearer picture. Pre-1000 BC, before the Bantu expansion/migration - there weren't that many groups living in West Africa. We've to study the timeline of the different invasions in North Africa, the migration of the people in different waves towards West Africa and their expansion, and the beginning of the Bantu expansion - to understand the basis of my hypothesis. So the question is: why did the Bantu migration/expansion start when the new groups started expanding? Also, why did the Bantu move towards the weaker group (pygmies), and not towards West Africa proper?

Moreover, you will find out that the Bantu expansion towards East Africa also stopped when they encountered Cushitic people along that axis. And the few Bantu's left in West Africa (Nigeria to be precise) isolated from the others except probably the Ijaws who were fishermen. We can look at pre-colonial Igbo's, Tiv's, Ibibio's and Annang's - and how they never had contact with the rest of the people in Nigeria or West Africa till probably the 17th century. Evidently, you can connect the dots, to get a clearer picture.

Anyway, this is just a discourse and I'm not trying to undermine any group. There's absolutely nothing wrong in being Bantoid. Also, judging based on linguistic and the Eurocentric classification of black people is also a tad bit simplistic, IMO. Europeans don't understand us and I doubt they ever will. Hence, why we need more anthropologists and archaeologists of black origins to do proper scholarships and researches about our ancestry.

In regards to the last line of your comment, here in America we are on it sir. Im not sure if u are familiar with the Green Sahara period 9000 kya, but for 5000 years a major population influx lived there and when the desert dried up, the populations were pushed in every direction including east in the Nile Valley.

IamAtribalist:
I am not very surprised. I have always suspected that our amala-eating conehead compatriots are descendants of remarkable forbears. If you have lived among the coneheads you will know what am talking about. There is always this ancient depth and wisdom that underlies their culture and mannerism. Unfortunately, they have been corrupted by a sick Nigerian society and externally imposed religions (Christianity and Islam) -and now they have become the most conniving, cunning and manipulative political sector in the country. However, who can really blame them considering how frustrating/corrupt the Nigerian Zeitgist is. To be righteous in Nigeria is to be a fool. A real big fool.

When I visited South Africa 5 years ago, I met an old Zulu chief who told me the Zulu (his people) traded with ancient Yoruboid/Edoid tribes as far back 700 years before the Europeans came to the the Horn of Africa. Apparently (According to the chief) these conehead amala-eating muthafvckers and their Edo brothers build sea vessels that traveled from Western coast of Africa down to the shores of South Africa. I asked him how he knew they were Yorubas and he said all he knows is that those people came from the same place the present day South Westerners reside today - and the story has been passed on from generation to generation. He said grandfather visited Nigeria pre-independence and was able to swap stories or oral tradition of trade with some of the Egbas of the South West.

We Africans have lost our way. We have allowed the white man to tell us lies about our origin and our destiny. Findings like this should be used to enlighten our people (all over the world) to help us retrace back our steps so we can rule the world again. Who would have thought that the Jewel of the Middle Ages was built right here at home in Nigeria by descendants of our conehead conniving compatriots. Even though I am a tribalist - this is great news not only for Nigerians but Africans and blacks and all of humanity.

Kindly an African American perspective: the euroclowns go out of their way to distort anything African here in America. No matter how superior one may think his clan is, the people that control the images and the narrative will find an educated way to say go Bleep yourself, look at u now we dominated you. They willfully ignore the fact that colonialism actually lasted less than 100 years from the signing in Berlin.

Thanks to the information age, the availability of new education has allowed us to shut these euroclowns down completely when they insult your history and many of us are quite militant when it comes to setting the record straight. We dont have the baggage of tribalism to color a bias in Africa research so people like my self can lecture on pretty much any ancient African society to infinity. Because we know when Africans look bad we look bad right along with them and they never let us forget that ever. Therefore us militants do everything we can to show Africa was/is very sophisticated and a crown jewel in the world at a time Europe was poor and steeped in barbarism.

Thier propaganda is very subtle and subliminal. Such as when they go to Ethiopia and have the tribal people put leaf hats on and paint their faces when that tribe may not necessarily do that.

They present pictures of Nigerian slums and starving Ethiopian babies and say thats your people right there, be glad you're American. However, those us with education dont fall for that okeydoke. They present history studies covering everything but African history even in my own town. Ethiopians believe themselves set apart from others but they receive the same broke treatment too.

This behavior is why certain Afro American and especially ignorant white people have images in thier mind thats not true. I was disappointed to see this euroclown propaganda has infected Africans too, im like wow u r there u should know better.

So I say the Africans NO MATTER THE TRIBE OR NATION need to get together and display your greatness before the world. Write ur own books, make ur own documentarys, do ur own research. This is Marcus Garvey said, get together amongst yourselves and find a way. This tribalism and suspicion is how the Euroclowns set u against each other every where. Its how they destroyed the Aztecs: arm one Indian against another Native. Cortez was vastly out numbered and I mean vastly, but tribal exploitation is how he killed them off. The same in South Africa and Ethiopia too amongst others.

So from the outside looking in spread the word to stop believing pathetic euro opinion and shut them down. Many act this way subconsciously, however and dont know it.The greatest African emires in world history were a collection of tribes under a king, not just one single tribe. Even old Egypt was more than one type of people, despite the psuedo rhetoric. Thats how the Europeans rose to prominence. Anyway im just a regular guy and wanted to add this, thanks for reading this. One Love

Rossikk:


I'm not from SW. Kindly take your ethnic nonsense to another place. As for ''hilarious claims'', I guess it would be 'hilarious' to someone who doesn't care to research his own history, despite the ease of doing so these days via Google.

People like that guy worship at the paper throne of euroclowns and usually dont bother to educate themselves on African history.

anonymous6:
[b]In June of 1961, Ambassador Malick Sow of the newly independent African nation of Chad was en route to Washington, D.C. to present his credentials to President John F. Kennedy and stopped for coffee at a diner on Maryland’s Route 40. The diner’s white female owner greeted him with the announcement that black people were not welcome there. When asked about the incident by Life magazine, she felt no need to apologize, explaining, “He looked like just an ordinary run-of-the-mill nigger to me. I couldn’t tell he was an ambassador.”

Sow’s experience was not unusual even for an ambassador. A string of similar incidents had already occurred along Route 40 as Jim Crow rolled out the unwelcome mat for African ambassadors traveling between New York and the nation’s capital. As the embarrassments accumulated, international observers saw duplicity in American claims of liberty and equality, as Cold War competition for influence in Africa made the continent a high priority for the U.S. and Soviet Union. Under the circumstances, the Kennedy administration was forced to offer an official apology to the many offended African ambassadors. Soon afterward, the president appointed a federal task force to enforce desegregation along Route 40.


But where international politics succeeded in securing an apology for the discrimination suffered by a handful of black African statesmen, more than 50 years later, black Americans still haven’t received a state apology for subjugation and discrimination at the hands of their own country. This is not because of some national stance against apologies. In 1988, for example, President Ronald Reagan signed legislation, complete with reparations, extending a formal apology for Japanese-American internment on American soil during World War II. In 1997, President Bill Clinton offered a presidential apology for the infamous Tuskegee syphilis study that the U.S. Public Health Service launched in the 1930s, to study the disease in hundreds of infected black men while falsely claiming to be providing them proper treatment. By contrast, congressional resolutions apologizing for slavery, passed separately by the House in 2008 and the Senate in 2009, were never reconciled or signed by the president. Far from constituting a state apology, they carry all the weight of resolutions passed to congratulate Super Bowl victors.

Ta-Nehisi Coates’s recent article in The Atlantic on “The Case for Reparations” has reignited the debate about the politics of American remorse and forgiveness for its treatment of black people. As Coates and many others have pointed out, reparations are not only—arguably not even mostly—about remuneration, but about unequivocally acknowledging the wrongs the state has inflicted on black people. They’re about apologizing.

In this context, Sow’s experience is instructive for what it reveals about international politics, state apologies, and racial discrimination. Social scientists who study these issues argue that apologizing is an essential component of reconciliation between an offending state and its victims
But apologizing on the state level entails real costs, just as it does on the individual level. In both cases, an apology signals a shift in the power dynamic between offender and victim in favor of the latter. Moreover, as Azuolas Bagdonas of Turkey’s Fatih University has written in a paper on the subject, state apologies “require changes in state identity. … [S]tates refuse to apologize when apologizing would significantly disrupt their self-narratives.” Given America’s narrative of freedom, self-determination, and success for all who work hard, apologizing for the intentional suppression of liberty forces the nation to confront the fundamental truth that we weren’t who we thought we were.

Given these costs, Kennedy apologized only because it would have been more costly not to, given U.S. hopes of preserving its position on a Cold War battleground. In other words, the apology to Sow and others came from a calculation of national interests. It did not arise from a sense of moral obligation—which would have mandated an apology to all black Americans, who had suffered far worse.

So what would it take for the U.S. to see an interest in apologizing for slavery?


The experience of several African countries is instructive here. Many West African nations have now acknowledged the role they played in the enslavement of black people in the Americas. Some have apologized on behalf of members of previous generations, who captured black men, women, and children from neighboring tribes and bartered their lives away to European slave traders. But they have offered or withheld apologies for different reasons.

Nigeria, Ghana, and Benin have taken different approaches to the question of apologizing for slavery. The resulting models reveal what interests might compel, or prevent, a U.S. apology for slavery, and how such an apology could get the buy-in of the American people.

In Nigeria, some tribal leaders have taken the position that since slavery occurred long ago, the perpetrators of the crime own their sins and did not bequeath remorse to their descendants. In 2009, when Nigerian tribal chiefs sought a constitutional amendment formalizing their influential role in the country’s governance, the Civil Rights Congress of Nigeria, a human-rights organization, encouraged them to apologize for their role in the Atlantic slave trade. These efforts failed—in declining to apologize, one elder told a Nigerian newspaper that his people were “not apologetic about what happened in the past,” explaining
that the slave trade was “very very legal” when his forebears were involved in it. Henry Bonsu, a broadcaster researching African apologies for slavery, told The Guardian at the time that among those he interviewed in Nigeria, “People aren't milling around Lagos … moaning about why chiefs don't apologise. They are more concerned about the everyday and why they still have bad governance.” Public opinion polls reflect this concern. The corruption watchdog Transparency International ranks Nigeria among the most corrupt countries worldwide; in 2013, 72 percent of Nigerian respondents to the NGO’s corruption-perception survey reported that the problem was getting much worse.

Ghana’s 2006 apology to African-Americans for slavery, by contrast, was largely a business decision. It formed part of a strategy to forge a stronger tourism economy, and closer ties to America, by making it easier for black Americans to visit, emigrate, own land, invest, and start businesses in Ghana. The initiative, called Project Joseph after the biblical character sold into slavery by his brothers, sought to portray Ghana to black Americans as Israel presents itself to the Jewish diaspora. Ghanaian tourism companies even offer “ceremony of apology” packages that black Americans can purchase to accompany visits to ancient slave castles. Explaining that healing and reconciliation would play a prominent role in the 50th-anniversary celebrations of the country’s independence in 2007, Emanuel Hagan of Ghana’s Ministry of Tourism and Diasporean Relations told a local news organization that the history of slavery was “something that we have to look straight in the face because it exists. So, we will want to say something went wrong, people made mistakes, but we are sorry for whatever happened.” And Ghana’s efforts worked. Around 10,000 black Americans visit the country every year, and around 3,000 now live in Ghana’s capital—triple the number estimated to have lived in the entire country in 2007.


Benin, too, apologized for its role in slavery, not only to African-Americans and the black diaspora, but also to the world. The apology coincided with then-President Mathieu Kérékou’s efforts to repair his, and Benin’s, international reputation after a series of corruption scandals that imperiled the country’s access to foreign aid money. In 1999, Kérékou began a global apology tour, including multiple stops in America. He and members of his government appealed to the religious conception of forgiveness to frame the act of reconciliation as a divine pursuit that would make whole the relationship between offending states and the victims’ offspring. “We cry forgiveness and reconciliation,” said Luc Gnacadja, Benin’s minister of environment and housing, on a visit to Virginia in 2000. “The slave trade is a shame, and we do repent for it.” Kérékou didn’t stop there. Benin also convened the Leaders’ Conference on Reconciliation and Development, where speakers from around the world, including two American congressmen, apologized for slavery. Benin’s initiative has been the most cited and revered state apology for slavery to date. And though the government’s motivation for its act of contrition was political, the spiritual terms in which the state delivered its apology lend it an element of sincerity that can’t be matched by other models.


If America were ever to apologize for slavery, Benin’s approach would be the most logical to follow. Not only does the model appeal to America’s deeply ingrained religious sensibilities, but it would cost taxpayers virtually nothing. As a result, such an endeavor might prove personally rewarding for citizens and politically palatable because it wouldn’t come across as a race-based entitlement. Most importantly, it would be a confession of wrong in service to a higher belief, and thus devoid of the normal interpersonal implications that attend apologies. Research has shown, as psychology professor Cindi May wrote in Scientific American, that “those who refuse to express remorse maintain a greater sense of control and feel better about themselves than those who take no action after making a mistake.”

Yet embracing the Benin method would require a political impetus for an apology to occur at all. A recent YouGov poll shows that 54 percent of Americans do not support a formal government apology for slavery, and another 18 percent are unsure. Further, 68 percent do not support reparations payments to descendants of slaves, and 57 percent don’t even support reparations in the form of education or job-training. For many Americans, like many Nigerians, the country is facing more pressing concerns than the ills of slavery or racism. Besides, as some thinking goes, voting in a black president twice must count for something.


Slavery itself did not end because of U.S. moral obligation or Lincoln’s sense of guilt, but because a large swath of the country felt it was in the nation’s strategic, and eventually military, interest to emancipate black people. It is not a coincidence that America’s chief European peers and rivals abolished slavery decades before the Civil War. Likewise, even Western nations’ prohibition on international slave-trading was a product of political and economic calculus, not born of moral imperative.

Similarly, segregation was not outlawed because the U.S. suddenly felt black people were equals, but because integration was in the national interest. During World War II, Germany dropped leaflets on black American troops reminding them that they were fighting for a country that subjugated them. Japan established “Negro propaganda operations” that sought to damage America’s international reputation, destabilize the U.S. by deepening its racial divide, and dissuade black soldiers and sailors from fighting in World War II. The Soviet Union utilized racial propaganda during the Cold War; for example, the Russian newspaper Trud circulated a story of a Louisiana lynching where “a crowd of white men tortured a negro war veteran … tore his arms out and set fire to his body,” and “the murderers, even though they are identified, remain unpunished.” As a 1961 issue of the Afro-American noted: “As long as any type of racial discrimination remains in the United States, the world will know about it, for, this senseless and indefensible practice is superb fodder for anti-West propaganda mills.” Over time and in combination, these trends spurred America into action and led to a decade of civil-rights legislation and Supreme Court rulings that served America’s national interests in repairing its image as a nation of liberty and justice for all.

In 1961, after Kennedy apologized, a couple of black newspaper reporters decided to test the desegregation order along Route 40 and dressed as African ambassadors to see if they’d be accepted in the restaurants there. With some consternation from frustrated owners, they were served at each stop they made. However, they were disconcerted to learn that local black college students had been refused service as recently as the night before the reporters’ experiment.

The change, in other words, had only reached as far as the international politics and national interest required. Absent these catalysts for an American apology for slavery, even the power of spiritual reckoning will be insufficient to summon the nation to action.[/b]

Interesting article Im African American and I can tell u that most black Americans have never even heard of any of this at all. The American mainstream media simply will not cover that because they have created a phony narrative that Africans hate AAs, which is yet another euroclown lie. As for me there is no need to apologize to me because an African never enslaved me and a white man never enslaved me either. Perhaps they should apologize to the ancestors, they are apologizing to the wrong people. Im sick of hearing of these racial issues and the boring topic of slavery its over ok. Lets be in solidarity with the Ethiopian and Eritrean bros and sisters being trafficked enslaved and or beaten down by Arabs in the middle east. the videos are shocking. And there is Mauritania also. Therefore we should be in solidarity with them rather than apologizing to free people that are enjoying life.
