SirShymex: Lool true talk!! I can't count how many times I've seen Nigerian folks who just moved to the UK, try too hard to integrate with white people. They go to clubs and desperately try to pull but end up getting shut down multiple times. Soon they start seeing things for what they're not. 1 Like |

50calibre: Lol, even in Uni. I remember a lot of them used to run after white friends, rather than integrate with the black people, and get acquainted with what the black experience is like. Learn from that, and use that as a tool for relations with other people. You see them taking pictures with white people, like they've arrived, till they get their wake up call. That ish used to be hysterical, I tell ya. Racism is here to stay. But what happened to this guy is just normal. That's why when you're in an area dominated by white people, they don't even need to tell you that the back of the bus is where you should sit, and mind ya own business. Acting like a chatty old white woman won't get you anywhere on these streets. 4 Likes |

Afam4eva: I can assure you that if this same guy greeted someone of another ethnic group at a bus stop anywhere in Nigeria he would not get this kind of nasty treatment. Racism against blacks only exists in countries where Europeans/white americans have some sort of political, economic or cultural control. 3 Likes |

The bitter truth is that racism cannot be eradicated ! Its not a white or black thing, its an orientation which had been woven into the human fabric ! Apart racial discrimination, we as individuals have discriminated against others based on different sentiments. As long as you have ever judged others based on tribe, religion, gender, etc. You are also guilty ! Back to Racism - its common here in US too. They may not make it so obvious but you will know it is there. For me I know its not everybody, so if I say hello and you don't answer me I move to the next person. I don't blame them, I blame those who made our own country inhabitable ! Nevertheless try attending a big man's party in Lagos or Abuja, if uou are a nobody, you will see another form of class discriminations too. Its life ! 2 Likes |

Afam4eva: And if you replace the OP & his black friend with two white people, do you think those guys would have acted the same? The fact remains we can't conclude either way if it was racism or not. Racism comes in various shapes & sizes, it couple range from mild to extreme. Tales of racism has made black people very sensitive, even something as trivial as a magazine cover could be seen as promoting racial prejudice so I understand why the OP feels that way after all, what comes first to your head when a white person snobs your greeting, moves away from you & starts laughing at you with another white person. Whatever transpired there as well as the motive, I don't know!! My issue with the OP is why couldn't he just mind his business? 2 Likes |

Racism is bad and much talked about, and so is tribalism which is so very common in Nigeria. Some people can't just hide their dislike whenever they meet people from a tribe they don't quite cherish! It is very common in Southern Nigeria(I've never lived elsewhere so I wouldn't know the situation in other parts). Some people just feel they are smarter and better than others by virtue of where they come from and hence treat others with disdain! Our voices must be against racism, tribalism and all forms of discrimination! |

Amefrica:[b]i strongly doubt that. i know many people like you. especially those who try so hard to integrate with other cultures. you usually hate your own. if you loved your own, and especially with all the killing of black men recently by white men, if you loved your own you would never ever say hi to a white man unless of course he says hi first, then you have no choice but to respond. trayvon martin, izzell ford, the 12 year old boy in cleveland, the brown guy in ferguson, the black guy who got choked to death in new york etc etc. a race war is brewing. if you dont see the white man as the enemy at this juncture in history then you must be one of em ' i hate myself ' kinda niggaz. the revolution is here. all these cops that killed black men ? guess what ? white people all over the world started donating money to them. you see ? they are donating money to any white man who has the balls to kill a niggaz. the revolution is here. that white man is your enemy. you gone learn the hard way or the easy way. the choice is yours[/b] 2 Likes |

When i was still in Uk i don't roll with the white guys,infact i don't have a friend there,unless the white dude i met at the cinema he was a kinda jovial and party freak with lots of funny stories he usually tell me about britain.sometimes you just have to mind your business and move on because nobody gives a hoot about you,maybe now you have learnt your lesson you won't be sliding over things. 1 Like |

It may be that you had bad breath or body odor. If I sat near someone and he left his seat, I may feel bad but it also means that I have more space to play around. If he said something nasty to you, then you have every reason to be angry but by your account, you really haven't proven that t was racist but then I may be wrong cos you experienced it. |

Well, I work in a rig. And more than 40% of the people there are whites. They're all friendly and chatty. Even when you're not in the mood for the small talks. Always saying "hello buddy" when they sit close to you. This gets me thinking... Are they always like this or is it because they're here in Naija? Though there's one who I can vouch for his sincerity. That one eats pidgin like no man's business. He's the only whitey who eats Jollof rice or eba at the canteen. 1 Like |

Amefrica:pls continue with this attitude , its warm . the truth is racism can never end , No it can never . one dude said smething sometime , he said we africans dont get the picture yet , talking down your fellow black man , insulting him dont make you superior , it leaves you with the inferior mentality instead . The white man will keep laughing at this folly as you have seen him as superior. its best we embrace ourselves for who really are and it starts with the right thinking . its a good thing to be well travelled but in whatever you do , contribute your qouta to where you coming from . |
