Unfortunately he is not going to sue, and it will keep repeating itself.

A white man would sue the pants off them.

No harsh sun there.
Some parts of America is hotter on average than southern Nigeria.
.what of places like Qatar and Saudi Arabia that has terrible harsh climate?

Their skins are also fresh.

When you eat good food, drink clean water, have uninterrupted power, and good hospitals, your skin would look fresh even if you live in the sun.

Of course you don't them. You aren't the one been profiled and ridiculed on the daily! Ridiculous victim shaming smh

Lol dude slow your roll. I'm not for racial profiling but I think it's a miss or hit situation. Sometimes the profiling helps and sometimes it doesn't.

The weather and temperature

I don't think it's the weather tho....

Akon is still black...

And besides, Los Angeles, the deep south and some other parts of America is HOT at certain times of the year, sometimes hotter than Nigeria sef, but the folks there are still fresh.


It's suffer head that is wrinkling the skin of unfortunate Africans in Africa, nothing more.

Those who are relatively comfortable and take care if themselves and use quality stuff in Africa look good as well.

But suffer head gang always look ruffled up grin tongue

I disagree with that. The bank might have been very proactive and suspicious because of past experience with such case.

Unfortunately, the guy happened to be black. I see no racist motives here.

Loool and lool.

These practices are not rare at all. What about the starbucksGate or the guy that got shot in his flat 3 months ago because the lady thought he broke his way into HIS own flat.

Our society assigns value to groups of people. It is a process that is embedded in the consciousness of Caucasians( this is not even peculiar to just Caucasians) and impacted by centuries of bias. I believe most times people are unconsciously biased due to social stereotypes about certain groups of people that individuals form outside their own conscious awareness. Everyone holds unconscious beliefs about various social and identity groups, and these biases stem from one’s tendency to organize social worlds by categorizing. Racism are not always by racist . Do you know that you might also be unconsciously bias? You might see an almajiri and automatically believe he or she is prone to terrorism and your behaviour towards them reflects that innate bias in you. Without you even noticing that implicit bias but you might actually be a nice kind person.

I don't believe it's right but societal norms are very hard to shake off. Even sometimes while being nice to someone we have subconsciously categorised them as less privileged hence the fake smiles and the forced niceness we portray just to be politically correct. It's just my two cents about understanding how racial profiling works... perhaps you have a better explanation. I'm all ears.

You sound like an intelligent person and your first paragraph says where it all went and still goes wrong... SOCIETY! That being said, there are no subconscious biases or prejudices that excuse racists and their behaviours. While society and certain upbringings may have instilled shitty behaviours in some, it is their responsibility and theirs alone to deal badly with others from such prejudiced positions.

There is no such thing as ignorantly being racist towards others. Thoughts might run through your head like you stated but it's left to you and only you to act on this thoughts towards others.

I deal and meet with people from different parts of the world fairly regularly. I am even married to someone from a different continent and with a different religion. If I worked with prejudices that may have consciously or unconsciously been planted in my mind, this probably won't be the case. Notice how I didn't use the word 'race' there?

My point is, recent history of humans have been nothing short of disheartening but this doesn't excuse shitty people acting like shiit. Do not excuse their behaviour, DONT. Tolerating and accepting behaviours such as the one above has led and still leads to so many lost and destroyed lives.

Watch 'the birth of a nation' and you'd get an idea of the gritty horrors our forefathers had to go through in the hands of wicked and horrible racists and maybe you'd see why black Americans just can't fold their hands in complacency to acts such as the above.
