this thread irritate me. Look at what many Nigerians are writing. Many of them thinks that white is glorious, white is superiority, white is positivity and then fail to think that it can be an individual problem not a race thing. And when you check around us, you can see we Nigerians abuse kids alot. We pour acid on kids, we condemn our kids saying they are demons, we chain our kids, we drag our kids by their ears, hair or cloth etc. Look at many nairalanders condemning the black American but meanwhile, we are black and it is not far fetched of what the black woman did to the things we as Africans do to our kids.

What is wrong with us? Why do we have this backward mentality as Africans? Why?

Very true!!💯

I agree to most of what you have said. However, you said they paved the way. Wait a minute, what way If not for Abraham Lincoln, JFK and Lyndon Johnson, you think the civil rights would have succeeded. Please
FYI... Count me out o those that want to go to gun slinging America...Freedom land of how white or how black are you.

I do not even understand what you are writing.. I am talking about the voices of the black people, the cries, the lynching, the agony, the labour and you are here telling me American historians of Civil rights like as if there are no black civil rights activists.

You must understand that the struggle did not go willingly as a good number of people will be happy to see you in chains today.. or do you think if we had kept mute we would still be free by your so called civil right activist..

What you don't understand is that Africans are weak. Simple and short. And it all because of their inability to do anything for themselves en-mass.
You said black Americans paved the way and I'm telling you that they didn't pave any way. Of course a people who have been oppressed would raise to do something about the situation. However, if the people in power didn't rise up to do anything or listen, then it is futile. That's what i am making you understand. Perhaps you still don't understand me.
Simply put black Americans didn't do squat without the help of the whites.

we as Africans have failed, I agree but the world needs each other. But I still stick to the fact that the black Americans paved the way. During the mass exodus of the Irish and Italian migrants in the 18th century and 19th century, without having going through the suffering of the black Americans, still they have been favored and respected and are classed as "white". But this is not the same for the black people despite the struggle. New generation of migrants; Asians, Indians, Hispanics. reparations paid to the Japanese, Vietnamese, business and loan support, hate crime bills on Asians..

Despite the slavery, the fall of black wall street, the frontal battle against the British, and in the world War, the black people still do not have no form of reparations, or the benefits given to new generation migrants and you say "black did not pave the way" for we to enjoy what we are benefiting..

To be honest, I don't see what they have done. We as Africans have failed, that's without a doubt. The black Americans think they are better than Africans as a whole and we think we are better than people who after being subjugated throughout the Jim crow laws and are now arrayed with so much opportunities can't make something for themselves and communities.

Its same here where we have surplus natural resources have attained independence and still can't do anything with it.

The human rights activists in America was geared only for the black communities in the USA. Not anywhere else. Maybe for those that want to go to America.
But what have they done with it??
Anyway lets agree to disagree.

if there is one group of people that see themselves as better, it is the Africans. The african man sees himself to be better once he has that education, because he knows his culture and identity, in reality, we claim we're better but our country is weak. But the black person do not reason like that other than he sees himself not able to blend with your culture.. I will say, mingle with an educated black and you will see he does not see you and feel he is better..
