I hear you.
Until the London riots abi
By the way, the same story of hate, race and injustice. Black man don suffer o

dinggle: Zimmerman did not only walk away free, he also walked away with over $360,000 which his website raised online. He raised $30,000 monthly for over a year. I call it Kill & get rich.

Whaaaaat

You mean people rushed and donated money for this dude

See what I mean? The hatred is too much. Yet somebody is abusing me for advising on survival strategies in a hostile society.

davidylan: I'm not sure i understand your point because it is, as usual, full of misrepresentation, incoherent statements and head scratching irrelevancy.

No one is complaining that Hillary is a successful woman. Rather the point is that society has evolved to the point where women can aspire to AND ATTAIN opportunities that were hitherto denied to them solely on the grounds of gender. The difference between the likes of Hillary and mouth-frothing demagogues like you is that Hillary does not need to run a rabid campaign denigrating women to get to her position in life. She worked HARD, with the support of a loving family to achieve her goals. I am not sure she would be where she is today if she spent all her time sobbing about trumped up claims of gender inequality.

Hillary's success is the type of example that is routinely celebrated in the lives of the mothers, aunts, nieces... of me and many of the men here. We stand for women who exhibit the drive and ambition to achieve whatever they set their minds to do. Not those who don the garb of perpetual victimhood.

Another huge difference between Hillary and your likes? She took her marital vows seriously and stayed with a husband who openly cheated on her (after he apologized). People like you would have quit even before the saliva dried on Bill's lips. V

No, people like her would abuse Hillary for not divorcing bill.

bobthebuilder99: Look at this uncle tom!

Is that all you could say. Take a look around the world. You think it's only in America? Go to brazil, Mexico, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK, everywhere there are mixed races, look at the one that is "at the bottom". It's the black race. Keep joking.
In Africa where blacks are a majority it is a whole different but even worse pathetic story.

Di you know there was a time in America, I think it was Texas, where Spanish speaking people were protesting that they were being treated like blacks!

Did you know that Gandhi asked Indians in South Africa to sit up and stop behaving like the black natives?

If these things dont give you food for thought then I'm done with you.

Even in India where they are all basically Indians, they singled out the ones that look like blacks for discrimination

Wahala dey o.

And for those trying to head home to Africa out o black pride. . . . . .
Look before you leap

What u said about african Americans was not out of derision. All I said was "survival strategy in the midst of injustice and insecurity". If you are living with someone who is more powerful am who hates you, how d'you survive?
Study the system and device means of survival.

And yes, Nigeria has her problems too, as an Igbo man I will feel safer in Lebanon, Ohio than in Maidugiri, Borno. I will never go to maidugiri. Remember, I have a right under Nigerian law to go and live in any part of the country I want to, but I will waive my right to live in maidugiri in a second. It is called survival.

Young tray is dead. Then this judgement only rubbed it in. We are here debating, but the parents have lost a child forever. Case closed.

The final question after all this brouhaha remains;

Who looses? Who gains?
Think, black people, think.

fittty: Oakland Hit By Riots After Zimmerman Verdict

Demonstrators smash windows, attack police cars, start fires

Civil unrest is beginning to hit US streets following the acquittal of George Zimmerman, with demonstrators smashing windows, attacking police cars, overturning dumpsters and setting fires in downtown Oakland.

One police car was daubed with the words “Kill Pigz” as American flags were torched. “Kill Zimmerman” was also scrawled on the Alameda County Court.

Following a wave of threats to riot in major cities if Zimmerman was cleared of all charges, trouble flared up almost immediately after the verdict was announced late last night.

Unrest appears to be confined to Oakland for the time being, with more peaceful protests taking place in San Francisco, Washington, DC, New York and Chicago.

Twitter messages threatening to violently kill George Zimmerman continue to flood the social network.

Now this is bad. That's why I say education is the key.

Rossikk: May a stranger GUN YOU DOWN in cold blood, get acquitted, and others start asking the same questions you just asked.

AMEN.

If you are this bitter why don't you take your bitterness to the white man instead of coming here to curse out people who are debating.

Transferred aggression

Rossikk: So much GARBAGE and HORSESHIIT.

I barely know where to start. Some white guy really should SHOOT YOU DEAD merely for being black, and when you're in your grave rotting away, others should deny you justice and go pontificating about what ''blacks'' should do to ''stay out of trouble''.

See, this is the selfishness we're talking about. It is SO EASY for you to pontificate and blame 'black folk' because it wasn't YOUR innocent sibling or mother that was shot dead on the street for their colour. Wake me up when something actually happens to YOU or your sibling. THEN we'll see if you'll be this ''cool and collected''.

I hope you realize that if Zimmerman was convicted, and jailed for life, or even executed, THAT WOULD NOT BRING BACK TRAY FROM THE GRAVE.

You have no idea what you are up against. Go ahead, and encourage them to continue messing up their lives and expect nice treatment from whiteys. Give another 5-10yrs and there'll be another high profile racial case, then blacks will cry out for justice then justice denied, then they cry foul, some white supporters by their side, then life goes on, then give another 5-10yrs, we have another issue, same thing happens, then give another 5-10yrs . . . . . . .

FACTS:
1. The whiteys have the power, they rule, thy make the laws, they bend it as they seem fit.

2. They dont like you

3. You have a duty to sel preservation.

4. Education is the key. Why is it that MOST times (not all the time, but most of the time) this kind of stuff happens to people with either a) broken family units b) poorly educated c) low socio-economic background.

If the black community doesnt see these truths, then there is a big issue at hand.

50yrs since President Johnson passed the "Great Society" laws, and "Civil Rights" laws, what have we got?
a) blacks now completely depend of govt aid, b) voting rights act is under siege.

Eg, All the white man needs to do to stop blacks from voting is to ask for voter ID! Why would someone who was born here not have voter ID, and I, who just came a couple of yes ago hve got an Ohio ID?

In Ohio, they tried to cancel Sunday voting! That would have disfranchised many black voters! How? Bc they usually vote on Sundays after church. Church will take them to voting centers. So of church doesn't do that, thu can't take themselves to voting centers and vote? In elections that play a role in their lives?

See how easy it is to oppress them? Education can stop that. But I see you are more interested in name calling.

I won't engage you
Go on and fight for your rights, even those rights were given you by the whiteys. Produce bastard kids everywhere, have them grow into gangs, them cry racism. This is 2013, America is changing. Blacks are being left behind

Black ndewo,

Horus: You will never be fully accepted by caucasians no matter how hard you try to emulate them.

Only a fo0l doesn't know that. But why would someone who isn't white try to be white?

Be who you are and improve on it. Period!

ighoosagie: It's so unfortunate dat most Nija have bad memory, just yesterday al'Mustapha was freed of a worse scenario dan dis. I guess al'mustapha is white n kudirate abiola is black. I see a fair judgement here. In Florida u av right 2 use firearms(guns) 4 self defense wen u feel ur life is in danger, except in places lik Illinois where u re nt allowed 2 use firearms (guns). I av observed countless cases where rich folks get away in Nija wit murder cases ,while d poor get life sentence for stealing a used cars,

but only dat of diallo who was mudered by some white cops after been shoot 41 times in bronx (new York) I still doubt.

As 4 me I hate hearing d word race

I hate hearing the word race too. I never watched this case on tv, and yes I'm not surprised by the outcome. Last week I heard the county authorities in that county talk about getting ready for a possible post verdict riot

Anyways, al mustapha has been behind bars for about 10yrs or so, Zimmerman was never jailed. It's ok. I don't think african Americans should start a riot. But they should go back to the drawing board and start from square one to rebuild their communities. If at this point the blacks don't realize that they (we) are a hated and pathetic race then the problem is even bigger than I thought.
And the first place to start is family. We must rebuild family values in the black community. majority of blacks born this year were born to women who were not married to their fathers. Some even say about half of them were born, not only out of wedlock but by the time they were born, their unmarried mother is no longer dating the man who made her pregnant. And this is the bedrock of the community.

Next is education. They should be encouraged to go to school and finish high school and possibly college.

Then they should try and keep away from trouble. This is the hardest part bc it may involve denying oneself certain rights, eg, the right to dress in a hoodie at night. Yes it's your right but debit attracts police, and police is likely to be unjust, and u may end up in jail or in the grave, why border with a hoodie, it's not that important anyway) not like it's indispensible) but other great clothes and wear. Save your energy for the bigger fights.----> jobs, opportunities, etc and don't waste so much resources fighting for the right to wear a hoodie. Leave the hoodie for the whites to wear, let them wear it for 10yrs, by the time it's obvious that the hoodie is an ordinary cloth, THEY will come running to the blacks to come and buy hoodies.

The hatred is too much but we must do everything to make it a bit harder for them to oppress blacks.

Unfortunately, it seems as if african Americans are doing everything in their power to make it easier for Whiteys to oppress them.

SuyaEater: Only in America where a dog's life is more important than human black man's life

Michael Moore once said he made a movie in which a dog was brutally murdered and he got a lot o calls from people who complained about the brutality against the dog.
Meanwhile in the same movie a black man was rurally killed and no one had any complaints about it.

ALL dogs in the US are covered by some form of health insurance, but when the federal government tried to extend health insurance coverage to include millions of poor people majority of whom are black and minorities. . . . . . . . . . . all hell let loose

Iykeponti: You guys should go back to African, thats ya home... or remain there as second class citizens.. Get ya family nd stuffs over to ya home land Africa1 together we gona make our land better

At least trayvon had his case tried out. In Nigerian thousands are killed openly. How many boko haramists have been brought to trial. Even if a sham trial, how many? Even trial in sharia court with Muslim judge and jury, how many?

Our homeland is fvcked. Truth be told. Trayvon is just one among thousands of black victims of structural injustice. Black America will do better by standing up and using the opportunities that exist already in America, bc, the most privileged group of black people in the world are . . . . . . You guessed right, African-Americans. But do they even know that?

Just postpone it for one month let me try this otele sister. Just one month

OR of you can't postpone it, then make sure otele doesn't hear of it . That way he won't be heartbroken and so he can help me with his sister.
I don't know how long he will be grounded but soon he may be "released" and he'll be here to see your wedding plans and he may die.
If he dies or of he is heartbroken, my plans for his sister are dead.
Then I'm stuck with all these useless things I'm sleeping with in America. Mba o, Biko cool down.

Idowuogbo: Me is fine o! Thanks to Marykay and Mac.

Postpone that wedding o, let me try to call this London chick first. She still refuses to pick my calls.

Let me use another phone to call her

@99cents
Patience jonathan issue is not an isolated event. That you singles out a section of Soyinka's statement and used it to lambast the erudite scholar speaks volumes about your sense of judgement.

Instead of fighting for justice, you fight for "women's rights" even when those women are miles away from being just. Is it not the same patience that has been insulting an elected governor of Rivers State? How come you didn't notice the abuses and public humiliation he has suffered at the hands of Patience Jonathan. So bc he is a man he can be ignored and his case declared unimportant.

You see why people don't take feminists seriously. Even the Clinton you like to quote, while making a case for feminism in Beijing conference in 1995 was careful to align female rights with HUMAN RIGHTS. She legitimized female rights by bringing it under human rights. So if human rights work out fine, won't female rights be covered therein? But you don't care about human rights, do you? All you care is female rights( translate women getting whatever they wish) and so the governor of rivers state is unimportant, but Patience is a victim bc Soyinka said the truth about her? Abi the prof lie?
The office of the First Lady is a domestic appendage of power. Period. And it's unconstitutional anyways.
Truth hurts

GenBuhari: There was not a single black person on the jury.
Therein lies the injustice.

Prosecutor, defence, judge all white. The only black person in this case is the dead victim.

O, I forgot, dead men(teenagers) don't talk

Lol

Meanwhile Mr Cork, have you heard that your senior sister is getting married this fall? Yes, Adaobi is getting married this fall. And o, her husband to be is a nairalander.

He name is Afam4eva
What will you and otele do?

Adaobi this thing you're doing is going to put sand into my garri o. Bc if you break otele's heart ( I'm sure he won't take this news too well) he won't be in a position to help me with his sister. This means I'll remain in this America jumping from one strip dancer to another. Living with ashawos from Sunday to Sunday

Stop this joke o, let me get otele's sister first, then you can dump the kid and follow your heart.

See me o

ogugua88: At least I have light 24/7.

*runs away*

Why are you running away. This is where a real struggle for fairness rests. O okay bc it's not feminism?
What d'you say about the black lady that got 20 yrs for shooting at the wall? D'you think she got that ( relative to Zimmerman's freedom) bc she's a woman?
O yeah, it's bc she's black!!

Don't run, come let us fight together for fairness and justice where fairness and justice is truly needed

SuyaEater: Former new york giants wide receiver plaxico burress who was black....was sentenced to 2 years in jail for accidentally shooting himself ....what a jokeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Lol

My strategy in America is to keep as far away from police/crime/law as possible. If they profile wearing a hoodie, I don't wear any. My african-American friends call me coward, but I know as a black man I stand no chance of fairness in any trial. Especially with a foreign accent. I wonder why they don't see that.

adaobi123: For shooting at a wall and she got 20 years?!?!

America is messed up !!

A black man has been jailed for accidentally shooting himself

America!
Gods own country

SuyaEater: From emitt till to rodney king to latasha harlings to trayvon martin....america have a history of making black lives seem useless.

Problem is that black folks make it easy for the whiteys to ruin them daily

batstan: looking for a homo

Looking for ashawo

CFCfan: I still can't wrap my head around the fact that someone was actually sentenced to 2 years imprisonment for dog-fighting!

If you are black and successful in America, be very very very careful. They will want to bring you down. Just that african Americans don't seem to understand the situation.

I've seen black doctors that some white chick came from nowhere and accused them of molesting them. Just like that. By the time the case is dropped ( of course for lack of evidence) at least $5,000.00 don comot the doctor hand ( enter lawyer own )

Now this situation is the real racism, no one talks about it. But this is the real racism, and not some cook that used the N-word.

REALITY101: Casey Anthony got a free pass. Zimmerman got a free pass. Michael Vicks got two years for killing a dog. Awesome..

Thank God I'm white -

And yet many people were angry that he was given another chance to restart his career.

There is no justice.

Roland17: I wish African American/ Black teens would make better decisions, THE SYSTEM DOES NOT CARE

I've told them that America is a white mans country by the white man and for the white man.
Forget the bill of rights, forget the black president, it is a white mans country. Be careful how you carry yourself about. Avoid strolling out in a white neighborhood, avoid the police and their trouble, have some discipline and get some education. Them no de hear. Everytime rights, rights, rights,

Shey rights na de ones wey dem dash una. Wey dem fit violate every now and then. Black teen killed, judge white, jury white, prosecutor white, defence white. Can't you see? Una no get power.

Dee60: This is a Nigerian first, a Nigerian classic!

Anytime, our leaders do evil they tell us its not new, and that it happens in USA and Germany! Has anyone heard where lawmakers beat themselves into a coma?

No be today e begin. Even sef as far back as 1856, a congress man from South Carolina walked into the debate and flogged a US senator from Massachusetts almost to death. He was hospitalized for months.

http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/minute/The_Caning_of_Senator_Charles_Sumner.htm


Before then, a congressman from Kentucky had killed another congressman from Maine.

Later legislators were banned from carrying guns into the congress.

The first 50-100 yrs of a democracy is ALWAYS crazy. Bc people have freedom without wisdom and it takes horrible consequences like this to teach people that civility is the best way forward.

In South Korea legislature, sometimes they fight and tear the bills and occasionally the opposition candidates will just EAT the bills, yes, the damn paper, they'll eat it live on the floor of the house. I think there's a law there that says the bill must be present physically to be voted upon, so when these folks eat the paper( and swallow it ) the bill can't pass, at least for that day.


In Ancient Rome, they bring knives to the senate. Sometimes someone is killed there and then. Julius Caesar was killed on the senate floor. Stabbed about 20 times I think. On the floor of the senate. No be today e start.

Democrazy
