But maybe someone will start to talk about it from here. 20 hours ago iamkelis KELIS Against something no one is willing to talk about or even admit exist. Everyone wants to be politically correct.

Yet the Nigerians in the UK are delusional about the racism. Im sure by the time she responded the arsehole then knew she wasnt Nigerian as evryone knows Nigerians are pathetic and meek when it comes to white people and they would never insult them back in fear of offending their "master" After all where else would this psychotic white bastard get the idea to tell Kelis to call him "sir"? This is probably how he treats reetarded Nigerians in the UK everyday. |

Thats the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, do you honestly believe that a white person would racially insult you, and that's it! he/she walks away as if nothing happens? where have you been living? (In a tree) its a CRIMINAL OFFENCE, May be in Nigeria thats where they try to kiss up to a white man, but in the UK, that person would get a beating of a life-time if the law doesnt step in! |

Did you type those lines out from your village because u sound like someone who has not seen civilization talk less of travelling beyond the NIgerian borders |

Sad story but this is nothing new even in England; Didn't Oprah went through that in France a few years ago. The funny part the British front like they are more tolerant and there is racial harmony but in reality it isn't the case, it's a little grey over there. I have been there 4 times for vacation and to visit family & I have Nigerian family members that live there and have told me some ugly stories over there. Although that is the case England is better then some other countries when it comes to race but they are far from perfect though. One thing I agree with Kelis is that America has racial issues and their history is worst then England but in America most of these racial issues have been put out in the open and talked about to a extent but in England, most Blacks don't fight against or talk about it, and the discussion is under the rug. About them calling her "kunte kinte" & "disgusting Nigerian", well this will tell people that England isn't all peaches n creme as people hype that place to be, many Nigerians are getting that now |

When someone is that ignorant you don't even get mad at them. Just pity them. The highlight of his life is probably the fact that he gets to scan people at the airport |
| Re: Kelis Called ‘kunta Kinte,’ ‘disgusting Nigerian’ @ London Airport by anonymous6(f): 8:14pm On Sep 14, 2011 |
@Thiefofhearts "They rather defend their masters than fight against them" Well I don't think it's because they want to "defend their masters" as you said I think it's because they are afraid. they know it's wrong but they ignore it because of fear but to defend them i doubt it. I remember I was reading online years ago where this Jamaican female was working with a Nigerian man in a company in England and their boss who is a white British man insulted them racially but didn't realize it to being a insult & has done it to other races as well in the office(Indians, Arabs and etc). When the Jamaican lady wanted to confront their boss the Nigerian guy refused, he had the same anger as her but refused because he didn't want to lose his job. The difference is the Jamaican lady didn't mind if she lost her job confronting the ignorant boss the Nigerian guy did care if he lost his job if confronting the boss "Because they are brainwashed" You do have some point there, The times I went to England the question I wondered at times with Blacks there: Is there any Black pride? There is cultural pride like with the Caribbeans(Jamaicans, Grenadeans, and etc), Indians, Africans(Nigerians, Ghanians, Somalians, and etc) when it comes to having their own businesses and etc but racial pride it's a little grey over there |

anonymous6: This is exactly what Im talking about. Too bloody apathetic. Why would he lose his job? I thought the UK was all about "racial harmony", I would think their rules about workplace discrimination would be even better than ours, if he wasnt a coward it would be that boss that would be losing his job, not him. Typical grin and accept it, idiots. |

Don't know where people get stories about racism in the UK? It is just lazy to sit and type the kind of comments i have read, and to think some of the posters live in the States just confirms being educated doesn't necessarily mean being enlightened. The story of the Jamaican and the Nigerian is too far fetched, if the Jamaican was that aggrieved she would confront regardless of what anybody else says, and Jamaicans generally are very aggressive. The UK has it's own fair share of ignorant people, but compared to the States and other parts of Europe we are saints. Let me provide some clarity most racists don't come out openly like the ignorant bigot that insulted Kellis if you dig further he is probably not educated and very unenlightened, we would be discussing a very different topic if it was the lovely Naomi Campbell, he probably wouldn't have his red sweaty face any more. Racism in the UK is now very sophisticated and a lot of the posters wouldn't even realise it if it were to smack them right in the face. Different situations call for different reactions if you decide to fight every single battle you will end up losing most of them, so for all you equality advocates hold your horses and stop having a fit, we got this. 1 Like |

yankite: That's the problem with you people. Willing to sell your dignity because of money. Forget overseas for a moment. What about in your very own Nigeria? Germans, Asians, all these pigs come here call you name and treat you like shyt in your background, you sit there and grin like morons. After all na white kman, whatever he says must be right but let it be a man from another tribe, see if you wont bring out cutlass. Abeg! Very embarrassing bunch. No better than the South Africans. Actually white people are paying for it now in SA. Mugabe kicked them out of Zimbambwe, would Nigeria EVER do something like that? No because you people are beyond greedy. Who cares about pride when there's money? ABI? Let's just thank God it was the british who colonized us and not the bloody Dutch else you two would have been showing papers everytime you leave your damn hut. A Ghanian man sued his boss in the states recently. while he was working boss would make monkey noises and all sorts of disparging remarks, he got HR on the bosses' behind and sued him. won a $2.5 millon lawsuit. If that was a Nigerian would he even have the sense to report not to talk of sue, instead he will joke and say stupid crap like "LOL I know he's just joking. He likes me. white people are so funny" Typical sufferheads. 1 Like |

@TheifOfHearts "Let's just thank God it was the british who colonized us and not the bloody Dutch else you two would have been showing papers everytime you leave your damn hut." cosign 100% "What about in your very own Nigeria?

After all na white kman, whatever he says must be right but let it be a man from another tribe, see if you wont bring out cutlass. Abeg!" I can't speak for other tribes because I don't know but I think that is more tribal because my family told me when foolish dictators like Sani Abacha(including Babangida) was ruling Nigeria to no where decades ago he brought in many Lebanese business men into Nigeria and from what I heard they treated Nigerians like crap, that Nigerians saw the true colors of foreigners, so I have heard at least in Yoruba land they don't bend to or trust them. That when those men fell Nigerians extended the attitude to those foreigners they brought, that many of those foreigners ran off at that time as a result(I guess that was God's way of teaching Nigerians what these people really felt of us). At least in Yoruba land for the majority they don't trust foreigners too much or take crap from them but Nigerians in general(of all tribes) do play games with them to get money from them(especially 419 gangs; from documentaries I have watched). In general though I don't think Nigerians trust foreigners because it has been said through documentaries that the CIA influenced the civil war in Nigeria decades ago, and many Nigerians have confirmed this. So I wouldn't under-estimate Nigerians and think they are slow, at least the majority get it & have their way of getting back to them. |

I dont literally mean that they "trust" them just that they are too cowardly to defend themsleves or call them out when they are out of line. If I know I can disrespect you and you will still call me oga ma because of money, I will NOT rtespect you. It's that simple You are so right about the Lebanese. Dont know why they havent been kicked out. The Ghanans you kicked out are doing 100% better than Nigeria now. On this board one dude mentioned how on a plane 2 Lebenese men were making nasty comments about Nigeria and Nigerian women and the dude stood up to them when they were about to get off. People HERE told the guy that he was being barbaric for speaking up and you wonder why Im irritated. Instead of applauding the guy people were yarning dust. so sick. |
