Nigerian Boxer Who Bragged About Being "Pure African" & Not Arriving On A Ship Gets His Karma

[HARLEM AL]

ADOS literally has the word slaves in it. The distinguing feature is slavery, so no I don't think he was saying he was superior, he was just stating a fact.

You playing stupid

Who says shyt like that

Who says shyt like that

Glad he said it though. Let's you know what's in the hearts of some of them.

@GodinDaFlesh you're a bytch and you've been one for quite some time. I now know your true motivations.

i gotta reply to this post again

breh aframs defended africa for hundreds of years just to justify our own humanity

when the entire WEST placed an indictment on the "negroid race" it was aframs defending west Africa and its cultural existence

Which is why I laugh when some of these Africans think ADOS hate them which couldn't be further from the truth. When Africa/Africans were seen as nothing more than savages by established white academia, it was ADOS that took on the duty of enlightening everyone else about how great Africans were

no one was trying to learn/study about sub-saharan africans until ADOS made it a thing

I know this is a fun thread and all but these lies are going too far. When you say white academia, do you mean white American, or white european. This one sided view of history is misleading, and I"ll never stop reminding everyone of it.

Overall, the perception of Africa as a land of savages was both a European and White American thing.

Why Was Africa Called the Dark Continent?

The academic circles I'm talking about in this context is white american ones which is why I contrasted it with the pioneering black studies at HBCU's.

Nah, it really wasn't. To understand Africa's homogenization and "dark" continent themes, you have to understand Victorian English approach towards colonization as stated in the second article. Accounts of Africa by portuguese, Arabic and even dutch explorers back to the 1500s already showed differences between different African ethnic groups, their political organization, cities and religious practices. Even maps existed. The anthropolgists and missionaries in Victorian English knew all this, but were sent to Africa as a result of the industrial revolution by the Crown and had direct orders in regards to propaganda.

It was beneficial for the English to paint Africa as this "dark" continent full of savagery and adventure to:
a) Attract settlers and administrators, many of whom were men who were products of the British Education system of Education that imparted imperialism as a British gift to the world.
b) To undermine the works of other European countries' works in Africa to the general public, hence positioning themselves as some sort of pioneers.

The second article states that many missionaries already knew of Africa from reading many books regarding the continent, they thus knew which areas were Muslim, which areas were already christian and which still practised traditional religion. They knew of trade routes, kingdoms and so forth. They could speculate on the source of major rivers and so forth, there was nothing dark to them.

In fact, it was a German scholar who brought back to attention Ibn Battuta's travel journals, read the journal and how he differentiates between how Islam was practised in Kilwa(East Africa) and Walata (west Africa) in the 1300s. Anthropology was politicised in the Anglophone world in the 1850s, to the Lusophone and Hispanic world, there was nothing new that the Brits were doing.

you're talking about an earlier period; I'm talking more in the same time span as the atlantic slave trade/slavery/post-slavery in the americas and race scientist/eugenicists, that followed

From the 17th century onwards, debates over the slave trade, racism, and colonialism helped crystallise these negative narratives in western discourses. Abolitionists argued that Africa was a place of suffering because the slave trade provoked war, disease, famine and poverty; anti-Abolitionists said Africa was so forbidding as to make slavery in foreign countries a positive escape. Either way, Africa was full of "savagery" and constant war.

The growing discourse on race added a further dimension to these debates, supposedly explaining "African backwardness" and "savagery" as biologically-predetermined characteristics. Social Darwinists, such as Herbert Spencer, and eugenicists, such as Francis Galton, exerted enormous influence and lent credibility to generalised xenophobia. That these works were extended exercises in sophistry and casuistry need hardly be mentioned.

Colonialism went even further; because of what they thought they knew about Africa – a land of fantastical beasts and cannibals, slaves, "backward races" and so on – the colonial powers managed to convince themselves that they were subjugating Africans (and others) for their own good. European violence was going to stop the wars endemic to Africa, and their enlightened (over-)rule would be to the benefit of all (via Livingstone's ideas of "Christianity, Civilisation and Commerce").

These kind of views on Africa is why ADOS would pioneer black/africana studies

And all this occured during the victorian era in England, Livingston was a missionary sent to Africa by the crown for the sole purpose of furthering the empire's ideals, and his works and adventures were questioned by many legit anthropologists in his day. Eugenics was also a result of that period, and so was the anti-eugenics movement. The very same British scientists who advocated for Eugenics(their measure of superiority was based on cultural practices and norms, not a permanent fixture as race) were appaled at the extreme racial twist scientists in the US gave the studies in the early 20th century and started to dismiss it. In the new world, racial superiority of whites was already so embedded in everyday culture such that eugenics was to be viewed solely via racial lenses.

Also, racial superiority by Europeans was always an argument they had, from the common man to the academic, despite that, anthropolgical studies have always been going on in Africa regardless and there has always been interest. From Jauma Ferrer to Mungo Park, extremely biased findings started during the height of victorian britain due to colonial interests, and met some resistance still during those times.

I will never understand the arrogance of Nigerian immigrants.
Mfs swear they cool when all they do is copy.

Glad boy got his ass whooped.

 

[Master Teacher]

boxing is racist, the entire sport is built on race, this fight game people can say whatever they want they gotta get in their fight, if you wanna give your opponent extra motivation to whoop your ass go right ahead

 

[YouMadd?]

AA are some of the most genetically superior people on the planet. We produce world class athletes in droves.

We are also some of the riches peoples in the diaspora. It kills me when other "Black" people shyt on us like we aren’t light years ahead of them in many ways.

The day AA get their diets and family dynamics together the world will move

Exactly... Our foundation is fukked, and we still exude power.... NO ONE wants to see us at full strength... it a wrap..

 

[YouMadd?]

1st he acts like the world has a positive opinion of Africans. They don't. Second if he's an immigrant and fleeing his country for a better situation, he shouldn't be acting so proud. Nigeria is a third world country.

African Immigrants run into a few liberal Whites that praise them for being "different" than African Americans, and they wear it as a badge of honor, despite their home country being pure shyt socially, economically, etc..

 

[YouMadd?]

What did dude say that was so triggering? If he's off the boat African, then yes he can say he's Pure African. ADOS are the ones that want to distinguish themselves from Africans, he's just following along. If he had said he was African-American you all would be shytting on him. Which way is it?

He was using that to ay he was "better" and he is not a "******/nikka"... Nothing to contemplate...
