Black Africans vs African Americans In Academics by HiiiPower(m): 2:38am On Aug 04, 2012 |
I'm still butt hurt about the basketball game from yesterday. African Americans are arguably superior to us in sports, however, we're superior to them in academics. This isn't a malicious thread but a thread to set the records straight. |

Doesn't it sound silly to you to compare all of black Africa to just 40 million black Americans? Get over the predictable loss and move on. 6 Likes |

HiiiPower: I'm still butt hurt about the basketball game from yesterday. African Americans are arguably superior to us in sports, however, we're superior to them in academics. This isn't a malicious thread but a thread to set the records straight. Several quick questions.... What is African American Did the above post made you feel less shitty? Are you referring to the whole continent of Africa or your ethnic group? So you feel you are better than other Blacks around the world but not to the Whites and Asians Don't sell yourself short and paint yourself ignorant. Not a good look boo boo. 5 Likes |

This isn't a malicious thread but a thread to set the records straight. Sorry I will be honest I never believed that the Nigerian team will be victorious in the Olympics, I don't get why Nigerians were raving them when you know basketball is a American sport, specifically a african american sport not a international sport. if it was football(soccer) or Race running(ex. kenyans)that America beat us in, then it would be embarrassing but basketball please. I feel Africans, Asians, Arabs tend to excel in Education then Americans in General based on my experience and observation, even 1st generation, africans, Indians, Arabs fall into that as well. I feel Africans take more importance to academics then sports(exception Football(soccer) or race running competition like the Kenyans) while african americans excel in the NBA, NFL, and other American sports the Academics but that doesn't mean their are no educated African americans. |

stillwater: Lol, it's not that serious. It sure isn't. Blacks in NBA or drug circles doesnt speak for all Blacks in America just like Nigerian Yahoo boys doesnt speak for all Nigerians. The highest college graduates in America are Black women and in fact there are Black women holding executive position....can't get that being uneducated. It is apparent that many put education before marriage and family. 1 Like |

@ mrs chima.. its obvious you are a frat member...talk about purple colors... but the happy fact is that the black race in america is begining to realize their only hope rests with education!!! but the folks in the media always turn a blind eye to that....THERE ARE BLACK MEN IN COLLEGE IN THE US THAN IN JAILS..but with the way they sound you would think there are none in school... |
Re: Black Africans vs African Americans In Academics by MrGlobe(m): 7:48pm On Aug 04, 2012 |
anonymous6:so much ignorance on this post. First bball was invented by a white man, it is not an african American sports. 2nd. if we practice well and build a team, we can win the Americans. Hakeem Olajuwon was discovered in Nigeria before moving to the states. Greece beat America in 2004 to win the olympics gold medals. Black americans also good in running bet you are not watching the Olympics. on what basis do you base your second paragraph tho? Which other country has more academicians and nobel leaureates than America |

Mr. Globe: Let us not forget the many inventions that African Americans have created, that the rest of the world uses. I feel that this game has caused a lot of insecurity amongst some Nigerians. A fine piece of humble pie. 1 Like |

Bros abeg make i ask you what record is there to set straight?That they beat us does not mean we cannot do better in the future abeg leave matter for Matthias. Make we forget this match and move on to the next thing. I hope Blessing Okagbare can do better in the semifinals she had a slow start and she still came out tops in her race i hope she can do better on her start in the finals. |

Re: Black Africans vs African Americans In Academics by Nobody: 10:14pm On Aug 04, 2012 |
@OP Don't take it too serious. It was only a game. But you have a point. Black Americans need to make Education part of their nature the way they do these sports. They rate so low on the social ladder in America. The day Co-operations stop pumping money into advertisements, will be the day they will come to their senses. You read comments on news websites how White Americans ridicule black Americans about "how they are only good in running around the fields like wild animals instead of use their brains more". The future is knowledge economy . Embrace it or be left behind . |

This isn't a malicious thread but a thread to set the records straight. lol this Basketball Game Destroying Lives...... The African Continent has some of the Lowest Literacy Rates in the World... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_literacy_rate It's pretty common knowledge, so various websites besides wiki also carry this source of information.... Ironically, the thread was created to make claim of Mental Superiority, Yet the very creation of the thread and original post destroy such a notion by it's mere textual existence. To be honest Academics don't really mean much about Human Intelligence anyway... Memorizing the creativity and historical findings of another man's creation does not pertain to the reader's overall Intelligence. He is just that, a reader. Nothing More. African Americans are arguably superior to us in sports, ^---This above is not true either by the way, Resources, Training, Coaching, Work out regimen, diet, Intelligence all contribute to form a Great Athlete who has Mastered his Craft. Some of You Nigerians really need to get over this....... ..It's like a cold hard reality check has hit all of you....The Question you should be asking is why were your parents and government Lying to you for so many Years? It's pretty easy to look "superior" to a small population of Northern Ghana Living in Mud Huts, or to People Struggling to Survive and Eat in Chad. On the World Stage Against Developed nations more things become clear. What is clear is, more work needs to be done. 2 Likes |
