It’s not only Nigeria. How can you look at the sons of African presidents who have penthouses in New York, hear a Kwame Toure say that about Africa and decide that Nigeria must be isolated? Please answer that.so aggressive for no reason
you don't like when people agree with you about Nigeria and piggyback off what you say?
are nigerians not the most smug toward poor people?
You are not here in good faith or to the benefit of Africa. You are here to isolate Nigeria because that’s what many Africans do. When push comes to shove “it’s those people “… No longer an African problem.
This is why African unity is a lie
Of course you would resort to a smiley. You are just demonstrating your ignorance, by not recognizing that your assertion about my people was completely ill-informed.

That gets you nothing in life there’s billions of people who can do the same shytAnd let’s get something straight, dusty niqqa….. This is my direct descendent and bloodline, Lafogido.
I am proud to be one of the handful members of the black race to say that I can trace my family line back 1000 years. I can trace members of my line who were taken away on slave ships. And that makes me richer than any Peckerwood or most people on this planet. I’m glad I can stick that in the faces of these bigots when given the chance. Gives my kids the opportunity to say “yeah. That’s us.” And that makes me richer than any dollar number. Yet here is a fellow black man tearing that shyt down.
fukk outta here.
You don’t know what wealth is
Which still makes you incorrect, because those mixtures are no where near the same as the DNA of similar tribe members or even different tribe members in similar areas. Example Igbo and Yorubas DNA is more similar than the DNA of different African Americans.
"Are Yoruba and Igbo genetically related?
The two Niger–Congo groups, Yoruba and Igbo, are paternally genetically correlated with populations from the same ethnolinguistic affiliation. Meanwhile, the Hausa is paternally closer to other Afro-Asiatic populations and presented a high diversity of lineages from across Africa. "
Impact of patrilocality on contrasting patterns of paternal and maternal heritage in Central-West Africa - Scientific Reports
Despite their ancient past and high diversity, African populations are the least represented in human population genetic studies. In this study, uniparental markers (mtDNA and Y chromosome) were used to investigate the impact of sociocultural factors on the genetic diversity and...www.nature.com
So going your logic, they would both be considered 1 tribe.
That shyt that make ya soul burn slow

I find it to be the opposite. For some reason we can't shake the need to include that low class ignorance in everything.
We're always tryna appeal to the streets and that's what leads a lot of Black people down bad paths.

I do not need to go any farther, you need to prove your assertion now that my people are the same genetically, when we are not. You are the one who made the error in logic, and I just proved your error. Your addition of other groups matter not, when all it takes is one other tribe to prove your assertion wrong about my ethnicity.

I literally broke down to you your DNA a post ago
You guys are more closer culturally, genetically, origin wise, historical wise than any West African country.
Don't know what's there to argue about.
No, the issue is, you perpetuate hate against your own people. You literally had an example of it and spazzed out and then used that moment to try and foment even further hate. A person can speak the truth on an issue and do so with nuance. When one doesn't they perpetuate prejudice and ultimately violence against their own. When you don't speak with nuance, don't expect others to either. It's not my comfort I'm concerned about (how often do I even come to this board to be bothered lol). I'm a black man that lives in a world where a decent portion, even those that look like me, want me dead swinging from a noose tied to a tree. What's one more person who feel this way to me? You're just a another person. What I am concerned about is how kids will have to deal with people spouting this stuff. It will affect them because people will use that lack of nuance as an excuse to dehumanize. Oh well.
That said, as someone who has been to other parts of the world, and has interacted with and lived with many different kinds of people, the classism in Africa is not as bad as it is in many other places. And I say this as someone who actually has lived in many parts of Africa, not just a part of Nigeria and projecting that issue on to the rest of a whole continent. Talk to non-black people in Africa who know the history of Africa and they will still have some stories to tell you about their home countries in that regard.
Classism exists everywhere and has existed for centuries. We're not too far removed from many other groups, white people especially, viewing poor people as being inferior down to their very souls (many still hold on to this idea). As many people have said, a lot of people, not just black people, are on some classism bullshyt. This is why it is seen as a general issue and not a black or African issue primarily. It's stupid to think otherwise.

I hate making assumptions but reading between the lines it’s what I get from the video.
Nope. This brand of classism is mostly rooted in the fact that "the floor" in 2024 is abysmal and all the efforts to raise the floor since the civil rights movement have failed to raise the vibration of certain elements of the black community. And unfortunately those certain elements of the community tend to be the trendsetters for far too many black folks. Just as a simple example, to go from Malcolm X and MLK to Drill rap is absolutely pathetic but there are people right here on this board that'll co-sign the clowns that push that poison to the masses. And it goes much deeper than music, there are way too many behaviors and mindsets that are keeping people stuck and moving backwards but yet are widely accepted in the community. Some of these people are simply too bought in to a "culture" that's unsuccessful by almost any metric, look at financials, relationships and family building, general health etc, it's clear there's a lot that needs changing. Unfortunately, too many folks have no interest in changing, and you'll waste all your time money and energy, and maybe your life, trying to pull them up.
But since you mentioned it, I'm curious, how exactly are you proposing to raise the floor? What are you doing in your daily life currently to raise the floor for all black people? And what is your master plan to get the entire black community on track to change their behaviors, together?
