Lol...... I tried to avoid this thread because of some of the pure stupidity and ignorance emanating from that
For perspective I was born in the United States ..... I gave up my citizenship and I have dual Nigerian/ UK citizenship.... I have two passports and I run my own business in Nigeria with my brother and we both live part time in Nigeria and the UK.... And I spend a couple of moths a year in Barcelona
PLease find me AFrican Americans that went into any country in Africa and were mistreated .....you don't go there but somehow "oh they don't fukk with us" ..... Stupidity
At the same time all the stories of blacks being mistreated in Europe but you still running there on vacation .....please spare me the bullshyt
When I lived in America the only shyt I got about being African was from African Americans ..... And every insult that has been said in this thread directed at Africans I heard.... Or I got the bullshyt "you don't look African" when those ignorant fukks thought they were giving me a compliment
But it never bothered me ... YOU KNOW WHY?? because i was intelligent enough to know that those idiots got their view of Africa from the racist media who depict every African of living in a mud hut, dying of starvation/maleria/aids or in some civil war
I am intelligent enough to know not all African Americans feel that way
The same media that portrays African Americans as lazy and criminals which some Africans treat as the truth
Both groups are just as stupid and brainwashed as eachother
and then you have some idiots in here speaking about African Americans are the only ones pushing Pan africanism
dumbest thing I heard in my life
you know why Africans dont push pan africanism? because we live it.... you eat African food, you speak your language, you go to work everyone you see is black, your boss is black, the person that owns the company is black, your president (no matter how useless is black) you observe all your native customs and festivals even if you are a Christian or Muslim... you are literally living pan Africanism
And you would know that if your ass had ever bothered to get on a plane and go to one of the 59 odd countries in Africa....
another misguided person talking about Fela was radicalised in the US....
He hadnt suffered racism before he left Africa
people post things like this and once again no context....
Most Africans that live in Africa have never experienced racism .... trying to explain racism to them is like trying to explain what its like to catch maleria to you guys... they understand racism from an intellectual perspective, i.e colonialism, the wests foreign policy , IMF , United nations etc.... but hardly any of them that hasnt travelled has experienced it...... the best analogy i give them is that its a bit like tribalism but 1000 times worse
apart from odd isolated incidents white people in Africa behave themselves and stay humble,.... shyt can go from 0 to 100 in Africa REAL QUICK so white people just keep it very meek and respectful..... you are dealing with people that might not even see a white person for months (depending on where you live), have never been called a ******, have never been turned down for promotion because they are black, have never been racial profiled .... I could go on for ever ..... so there view of white people is different from ours
3 weeks ago a friend took me and my brother to a bar in Lagos and we bounced after about 10 minutes because there were too many foreigners , she said a lot of you guys that lived abroad dont like white people
i replied to her "the easiest way to dislike white people is to live amongst them"
and thats what you guys dont realise you throw c00n this c00n that but because you have never bothered get on a plane you cant see that people have different experiences
nothing as dumb as an armchair warrior/revolutionary who has never bothered to see for himself..... and that includes both sides of the argument
But hands down the saddest and most pathetic thing i read in this thread is
Africans are benefitting from us
any black person in the USA whether African American, African or Caribbean who thinks somehow they are benefiting from living in that Babylon is a modern day slave.
You idiots on both sides are typical internet warriors.... somehow if you dont experience something in real life but see it on the net then that supersedes your real life experiences, you will ignore 100 good things to focus on 1 bad thing, you offer no solutions , you debate endlessly but you dont actually do anything in your real lives to bring about change to your complaints....... and generally you are just miserable
I have friends from Jamaica to America to Lebanon to Ghana to Morocco..... I could go on and on, ill be dammed If I start to think like yall
fukk these crakkas tho
