Africans and black people need to drop this 'victim' mindset. There is serious tribalism going on even within people from the same state in Nigeria . 3 Likes |

CandidAdmin:no racism can compare to me loosing out of opportunities and be the clog in the wheel of travel plan of my associates because I can’t get my Nigerian passport renewed for the last six months. I haven’t experienced any racism personally. Mexicans are great people. And I have a few of them as business associates |

TheCongo2: Everyone in that commission are mostly woke liberal just as the whole Canadian government is. So I’m not surprised. They’re still working for those woke politicians and your woke prime minister . They all strive on racial division to win elections. Black people in America are beginning to realize that.

Honestly the only time I experienced anything close to racism was from my fellow Nigerians, because I am dark skinned. We see ourselves as the only one licensed to abuse one another based on color but frowns at it if others discriminate. We must first fight it amongst ourselves from tribalism to the father of them all "racism". Years back, a comedian was cracking a joke with people of different races, that God created black people last that's why we are black. While my fellows were laughing sheepishly, could you believe the majority of the light skinned race left the arena. 1 Like |

falopey: I think it's problematic when people try to dimmish other people's experiences esp. when it comes to racism. You are an outlier. As a child, I was stopped by police with guns drawn at least 2x. Once, they thought I had drugs in my bookbag, (was heading to Sat. school where I tutored). Stopped me at a bus stop guns ablaze. 2nd time I was outside my privileged high school across the street from Harvard Medical School. I was waiting for a bus after school. Someone called and said I had a gun in my waist (why else would a black boy be there?). Both situations could have ended badly. As an adult another 2x. Once surrounded by 4 cop cars, about 8 cops, guns drawn and asked to lay on the ground. Was walking back to my apartment in a white part of the city with 3 friends (all black). Supposedly someone shot inside a movie theater... and well we're black. That situation could have ended very badly. Those are a just times where I was stopped guns ablaze by police. Many stories just being pulled over or harassed. 4 Likes 1 Share |

I will share a bit of what i have discovered in my short stay here in Canada. Whites are very accepting of you as a black provided you stay within certain defined limits that exists in their subconscious minds. They are very ok with you working as a clerk, an entry-level officer in a bank or in a government agency or working as a support or care giver. They start rolling their eyes when you start breaking borders and moving into more traditional, professional roles which they consider their enclaves e.g being a lawyer or getting into management. You need to wear a thick skin at that level. With black medical doctors and nurses though, they really don't have a choice. Same goes with IT. There's a shortage of professionals in those fields. I call them the "colour blind" professions. With time, determination, a positive outlook, and having the right qualifications and skills, I find it's easier to break through those racial barriers than the nepotism and tribalism that exist in Nigeria. 12 Likes 3 Shares |

Worry about Tribalism and Religious differences in Nigeria first. Some Animals in human skin are still so much tribalistic in 2023! The Last general election exposed how backward we are in our thinking as a nation! |

IjeBos: There’s no element of racism in everything you highlighted. Just police doing their job probably responding to an emergency call. Were you not let go after you complied and not trying to play the fool like how a lot of Americans do? Were you not allowed to leave after you were properly identified? So police can’t do their job again? That’s not racism 5 Likes |

Karleb: As Gerrard59 has said, their opinion of black people is formed from what they see on media: like their local t.v stations, Youtube, discussion from their parents telling tbem to be careful of black people etc. Was opportune to watch BBC while in the U.K and for the most times they kept showing malnourished children in slums, child soldiers, war zones. There's no how you would see those for a long time and not have a stereotype stamped in your mind. I've met a white guy before who genuinely believed African was a country and some of these guys find it hard to believe we have urban areas. Anyways, I've noticed a white guy changed his row of seats when I got into a bus though I could tell he was uneducated and exposed. I've also been the only one stopped in a queue in an airport in Asia for checking of my identity documents while other passengers whites and Asians were allowed to pass freely. 1 Like 1 Share |

TheCongo2:We see it in the media what Canada is turning into, into the far woke left even worse than the US. It’s an open secret. Conservatives, Muslims, christians are being forced to worship at the woke alter or be jailed in Canada or cancelled. All government institutions in Canada are now lgbtq and BLM compliant.
