how am i justifying racism?

what i noticed was many africans [nigerians actually], do not know what racism is.

my post also mentioned the fact that racism is ingrained in a lot of people, its not something they can consciously stop.

basically, what i mean is the problem goes deeper than most folks assume.

however, the thread context tries to combine integration in a religious setting, with racism, not sure that's the appropriate way to view such matters.

hmmm

ironic.

btw does seun have his baby or teen/pre teen pictures up?

e be like say he resemble hausa small sometimes, would like to check.

did the op ever marry the japanese girl he said he was engaged to all those years ago?

i remember yapping on his thread then, first time i noticed the moniker, back when i was still "nairaland naive".

^what exactly is your fascination with yoruba anyway?

Logicboy03: What nonsense is this?
If u are not comfortable with another race, you are a racist. Simple and short.

It would bé like me saying that my atheist groups is uncomfortable because we have too many indians....thay would bé racist

if you read before rushing to type, you'll notice i did not deny there is racism, my point was many racists cannot help the way they are, its part of their identity and they'd literally be lost AND depressed without it.

that is all!

anonymous6: So true America has a long painful racial history between black and white people from slavery till now. during slavery, then segregation many white american churches were racist towards black americans so many formed and started their own churches that they have created their own style of worship from white americans that they prefer up till now. Although in today's age slavery and etc is over in America many cultures and races have their own churches, but it is Beyond racism and has now become less about racism for most of them, it is more about who they feel more comfortable praying with, preaching and prayer practices are different from one culture to another. In America you have Russian, Korean, Vietnamese, Hispanic, Black american, Nigerian, Ethiopian, Eritrean, Ghanian, Haitian, Jamaican, Orthodox Greek, Polish and etc churches now and it has become less about racism and more about how each cultural and racial group have their own way they feel comfortable in praying to God and feeling comfortable with praying with their own.

gbam.

since we're on the subject:

macof: Dude "ogun" in names doesn't mean war, it refers to Ogun god of war, Iron and justice.
Stop interpreting "ogun" in names like ogungbemi to mean war. Ogungbemi lit.- ogun carries me, which could be interpreted as "Ogun helps me"

Stop trying to distort Yoruba language.

KDULAR: And to answer your question concerning the prefix Ogun, have you heard Ogungbende ( war brought me) Ogungbemi (War helped me, the god of thunder helped me and my inheritance helped me ) spelt the same but different tones. Or the Remi which may be pronounced raimy ( meaning I'm desirous of )or the common known meaning Remi ( comforts or eases me ).

ogun [prefix] means the deity

ogun [suffix] means war.

generally speaking, and also generally not interchangeable.

nice try @ op.

If they are thinking about you then you'd better be thinking about them.

F00028: polygamy is not just ingrained in the culture, its ingrained in the religion. its enjoined by God. Muslims know because their best example (pbuh) was polygamous and so were his companions (r.a). right now I can only think of a couple of them that were monogamous.


that stipulation in the ad was misguided. and following it up with " she must be pretty" only compounded the problem. what's "pretty" is a pretty subjective evaluation.

and stipulating imams should only marry beautiful women will open a door to whole different kind of fitna.

Turks generally pride themselves on their beauty i think.

Races which are known for good looks, often do.



Muslims'best example, was monogamous before he became polygaous though.

I think people do not understand what racism is.

We tend to assume racism is a choice, many of us do not realise that for a lot of people, racism is not a choice like it is for us, but a part of their identity, ie who they are.

They define themselves by it and would be lost and confused without it.

So, instead of forcing everyone to inconvenience themselves and maybe suffer anguish in the process, best to let people have whatever context they are comfortable with in their personal lives and not be overly critical over something they cannot change without God's help.

As long as they are not breaking the law while finding their comfort zone?

Obviously, mixed race couples may need integrated churches more, and i believe many of those abound. Likewise mixed tribe or mixed nationality couples may find it easier if they have other couples like themselves to relate with.

Very good (which is what the verse says) is different from perfect.

Just wanted to mention that.

Her choice, myob and get a life.

Why was the thread moved from religion section to investment?

Does the op not have a right to his views?

Enlighten me.

okeyxyz: Cheii, after 2 years!!

There's a similar thread in family section, on almost the same topic.

Difference is that one is by a female moniker while this one is from the man's pov.

So, whats wrong with asking for the update of the prior topic.

Thats a good one.

Seun and mukina are the most popular.

shdemidemi: My answer is actually YES.
Romans 10:9

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Shall we continue in sin and expect grace to abound though?

JesusisLord85: According to this guy, you only repent once, when you are saved, then you are free to indulge in all sorts of debauchery.

Anyone doing this, isnt supposed to still be claiming they are christian.

Whatever happened to shame and fear of God these days?

Did globalization and pursuit of money /whatever erase all that?

Hmm, well true there is little or no awareness of sin among christians these days.

May God have mercy on us.

Who wants to know.

Haha, good one.

^ how so?

Lord have mercy

Exercise.

Cultural things.
