Mostly to their fellow blacks... More black lives have been lost to their fellow blacks than in the hands of racists.

Martin Luther king must be constantly turning and weeping in his grave at what his younger generation has become.

It's sad how people love to bring up King but don't know anything about him other than that *I have a dream* speech. King made many speeches after that but they went unnoticed. In the dream speech he supported integration.with whites which became his biggest regret.

He said he has lead his people into slaughter by living amongst their oppressor's. In the end he agreed with Malcolm that blacks should live separate from the evils of whites. Integration was one of the worst thing that happened to black Americans. Before Integration we had our own communities with our own businesses and our money was recycled into the community. All that changed after Integration.

I believe the sole purpose of integration was to have access to white women. What a pathetic shame.

PervertProphet:
You are more likely to be killed by a black fellow than a White Cop. 7000 black deaths by fellow Blacks compared to a black person dying at the hands of one white cop but you will never see BLM protests about all that Black on Black killings. The hypocrism!!
I feel sorry for so called "intellectuals" and individuals who support the BLM protests orchestrated by the demorats.

Neither will they talk about white on white killings or white on white crime. The thing is people murder people regardless of color just like they do in Nigeria but the police are supposed to be above these murderous savage killings, you know **Protect and Serve** but they are not. They are more savage than any street gang and should be held accountable for their actions just like any thug on the streets but they are not, hence the rebellion that is taking place in the US as I post this comment.

We as a people have to stand up for injustice **If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything** **United we stand divided we fall**.

BLACK LIVES MATTER TOO!!!

Onlinealaba:
Gang related ,US gang war is becoming more serious and actually under reported .should we blame that door for not opening at the most crucial moment

The biggest and most organized gang in the US is the US Police Departments. The first US Police department was established in 1845 in NY to terrorize black people and it still lives up to it's purpose.

gypsey:
why is that if the killing was done by a white man becomes because of colour? when a black man kills another black man it's "people" killing people? pardon my curiosity.. and oh! black people don't kill white people?



all lives matters in my own view anyway.

All Lives Matter and Black Lives Matters TOO, that's what people worldwide don't care to understand.

EVILFOREST:

Everybody get Gun for United States.
Don't ever get into altercation with someone especially BLACK AMERICANS.
They never forgive. They may smile and go. But will always come back.

Stop lying.

EsomahJD:


Nigeria is the most populous black nation and anything that happens here will have a systemic effect on blacks around the world.

Besides, is there anywhere on earth you won't find greedy elements.

Since when have Nigeria effected the world, get serious? The only thing Nigeria has contributed to the world that affected her fellow blacks systemically worldwide is slavery.

Yes, people are greedy, smart and stupid throughout the Earth but as of now that behavior is affecting Nigerians the most.

EsomahJD:

Okay I see, but you're black?

They didn't say no Blacks they said no NIGERIANS. Some of you guys are very smart but you let greed and stupidity take over you.

EsomahJD:

Are you not a Nigerian

No I am not.

Damn, y'all fked upped.

baralatie:

aha!
the question was about why are black American women single
the bolded you wrote reveals one of them

Exactly.

CanadaOrBust:


Lol.. It must be torture reading some of the comments on Nairaland

Not at all. I realize that Nigerians are a brainwashed lot.

CanadaOrBust:


U r the real deal then. How did u find out about Nairaland then

A friend.

This is why it was so easy for your ancestors to sell Nigerians into slavery, such a savage spirit.

baralatie:

the real question is this
In the court of any jurisprudence in the United States of America.
Will the court excuse any black American man for his faults/errors and hold the black American woman who is the mother accountable or responsible for the black American man's action.

the answer is no!

the courts in the USA says the black American man is to be held accountable.

even if his mom is frost,Clyde or mia khalifa

I pray Nigerian men would stop raping their daughters and I pray Nigerian men would feed their starving, homeless children, I pray Nigerian men would save their children from orphanages. Amen!

CanadaOrBust:


American by naturalization? Or were u born and raised in the States

My family has been here for centuries, I'm the real black American/ADOS.

CanadaOrBust:


#1 I don’t know what u mean. A woman born and raised in US is a BAW. Simple

#2 From what I know American system does not work like that. See below

You don't have to show me a picture of Adam Clayton Powell, I know my history. Adam Clayton Powell was a man of mixed heritage who live doing the time of Jim Crow and the ONE drop of black blood made you black rule, not a law but a rule to keep the white race pure.

That doesn't exist anymore, saying he was a black man is the same as saying Mariah Carey is a black woman which she is not. That's why they have biracial or other on the US census now.

It takes 2 white parents to make a white child just as it takes 2 black parents to make a.black child

baralatie:

so for example in the present day United States of America.if a black American man impregnates a black American woman.if the black American man says that it is the woman's fault for getting pregnant because she did not take birth control.He can walk away

That's a lie, because he could have used protection and he is still responsible for his child, this applies to all races. Once again I ask you, **What laws were enacted pertaining to black American men and women ONLY?**

DrFunmisticGlow:
the context is African american.

According to your fellow Nigerian, ALL blacks in the US are African American including Nigerians. I guess the narrative will change now.

baralatie:

All that you have mentioned,postulated and described reveals the attitude and the psyche of the Black American Male when responsibility .

A black American man has a relationship with a black American woman.she gets pregnant.the black American man is
1.blaming the woman for getting pregnant
2.runs away from accepting the paternity of the child that the black American woman wants to force him to marry.
3.if the black American woman wants relationship she should abort
all these are excuses,excuses from black American men.
the problem is basically black American men with their off point deviant attitude to concepts of fidelity, marriage,fatherhood responsibility is the foundation of the problems facing black American women.

it is because of this that laws were enacted to protect black American women from the dangerous lifestyle of black American men

What laws were enacted to protect black American women from black American men? Don't bring up the welfare system because that was created for impoverished white families, black families were not included in the beginning.

DrFunmisticGlow:
He's actually right, but he forgets to add how colorism is worse for black women, the darker their skinshade.

Also black American men are not protective of of their women. They only see them as breeding mares to produce more dark black men. They don't see them as good enough to marry but light bright and white is. Although the attitude of black women is not helping.

So Nigerian American men aren't protecting their women, they only see them as breeders? So you think the Nigerian American female's attitude is what's keeping her from finding a husband?

According to CanadaorBust ALL black people born in the US are black Americans regardless of where they migrated from so Nigerian American women are included in that 70 %, that means all of the negative stereotypes and lies that are being told on this.thread about black Americans applys to Nigerian American men and women also.

CanadaOrBust:


Almost all Americans are children/ descendants of immigrants. Any woman born and raised in US is a BAW regardless of forefathers’ immigration status. Obama is fully a BAM despite having an immigrant father

#1 By your logic of a black American woman being BAW would include the 70% of.black Americans this topic is about i.e. Africans, Caribbeans,.Hispanics. So the 70% of single black women in the states includes Africans/Nigerians.

#2 Obama is not a full black man, that's impossible, a white woman can't give birth to a black child, he's biracial. Stop trying to replace black people with mixed race people.

Blackmoran:
this is not about Hollywood, go and check the statistics and make your research.. 1 which race has the highest single mothers... 2 which race depends on government welfare most... 3 which race has the highest divorce rate... When you done get back to me...

You check the research, everyone here in the US knows there are more whites on the welfare system than anyone, they are also the ones who manipulate the welfare system with multiple cases/accounts to receive multiple welfare checks.

Whites also have the highest amount of divorces followed by interracial marriages.

Yes there are a lot of single black mothers but other races aren't exempt from single motherhood. You do realize that Nigerians are black and they fit in the black category as well don't you.

Blackmoran:
How will a black america woman get married? They have this ghetto mentality, most of them don't look feminine in character which is a turn off to most guys, 80pecent of blacks at age 18 -22 are already single mothers out of wedlock tell me any sensible man that want that baggage. 70 percent of black American woman lives on government welfare and alimony, black america women sees marriage as business hence they get into marriage after a year they ask for divorce, hence free access to there partner wealth, opportunity to child support and so on... In summary most of them are full of baggage, black america women don't like a nice guy, rather they prefer the drug dealer, the gang leader and so on.... I won't blame them totally, its a cultural problem that as a whole black Americans both sexes have a part to play... It is only in the black community when you graduate from college nothing happens, but when you just get out of jail your friends and family will throw a welcome party for you.....

You watch too many Hollywood movies, and by the way, your name fits you perfectly.

Graysons:



You think you can pass your people as none violent to me, when I see how you all kill yourselves on twitter,Instagram,Facebook and YouTube?
Sorry it's not going to fly.

I wouldn't try to say there aren't any violent black Americans just like I wouldn't expect you to say Nigerians aren't violent scammers because there are people like this in every race, there's the good and the bad.

ZINIBANKS:

So you didn't read where I said and many more you don't know it I'll explain there are many but I mentioned few of them ok

You can't speak on what goes on in a black celebrity life and expect all black American men to have the same wants and desire as them. We are different and the majority of us love our black American women and are with black American women.

ZINIBANKS:

Hell no
Kobe Bryant married a white woman
Kanye west also married a white woman
Offset also and many more when they're successful they don't marry from their race again

There are 20 million black American men in this country and you want to compare a few celebrities with them, does this make any sense to you?

DrFunmisticGlow:
He's actually right, but he forgets to add how colorism is worse for black women, the darker their skinshade.

You are lying, what do you know about what black American men feel and think. You don't know anything about us.

pDudd:


Actually it's the other way round. White men are not attracted to black women.

How do you know what white men are attracted to?

pDudd:


Yes. You're very right.

That's not what you wrote in that lying crappy post.

pDudd:


Ok i go yarn.

The reason is not a simple one but a multifaceted one. Many factors come into play when it comes to finding out the reason. The reasons are cultural, socioeconomic, historical, personal, and societal.

Cultural: In the AA community, having a kid outside wedlock is a normal thing. It is even encouraged because kids are able to increase your socioeconomic status. The more kids you have, the more money you get on your tax returns, also the more you are able to get improved welfare packages. So a man is needed only to reproduce and not necessary to raise kids. If a man is present in the home and is earning income to take care of the kids, the lady may not be able to access the welfare package.

Socioeconomic: Like I said above, if you are a single mother, you are in a better position to access welfare packages due to your kids. The society looks upon you as a victim and this affords you access to many welfare benefits, such as free childcare, free daycare, free healthcare, free housing, free food, etc. The government will provide all that for you just for being a single mother so you don't need any man. You only need the occasional dick to calm your loins but not for keepsies.

Historical: Historically, black in America were not allowed to marry or cohabit. The slavery era did this to them and hence that practice has been passed down till today. Also the introduction of the welfare system ensured that women who had men present in the house could not access welfare benefits. Hence men are not needed by the women.

Societal: In the African American community, many men between 18 to 45 are dead or in prison serving long sentences. Therefore there are about 3-4 females to every 1 male. This uneven distribution makes it hard to have a man as your own. And even when you do, other females are waiting to snatch him from you. Furthermore, the few good black men there are tend to pick women from other races (white, Latino, Asian, Samoan, etc women) because he doesn't want the drama of black women. And this furthermore reduces the picking for AA women.

Personal: Because of the unstable nature of African American relationship Dynamics, some women or men in the African American community may choose to remain single.


Also other factors that can come into play are family Dynamics in which a lady is likely not to have a permanent partner because her mother and grandmother never had stable partners. So this becomes her norm and is an acceptable way of life.

Also no other races date black women in America. So they they have limited choices in men when it comes to the relationship pool. They only have black men to look up to.


Hope this helps.

You must think the black community is made up of one class. You are so wrong about your write-up.

baralatie:

there is nothing logical here.
the question is why are black American women single
there are a thousand reasons which are responsible
1.disposition towards marriage
2.inability to get a black american male of choice
3.cost and implications associated with living in a capitalist American society
4. financial considerations
5.social and cultural considerations
6.religious considerations
7.legal considerations
8.place of residence
9.level of commitment
10.rate of infidelity
and so on.

blaming Christopher Columbus is out of it

What does Christopher Columbus, a person who never made it to North America has to do with this?
