Recently, three incidents which had black people as their victims have occurred in the US and the news with the aid of technology and social media has reverberated across the world. Solidarity marches, rallies, protests, tweets and posts have been done in support of these individuals. One of the perpetrators even lost her job at a financial firm. Well, people term it racism which is a form of discrimination and these acts are condemnable. However, they are not new and neither would they reduce drastically if the black race remains poor. Yes, the premise of my argument is that black people are being racially discriminated across the world (Brazil, Libya, UAE, Germany, China etc.) because we are poor.


Discrimination is a human nature and people do this daily knowingly or unknowingly and one thing which characterises these acts are because those discriminated are thought of people who offer less value (i.e. don’t contribute as others). This nature of racial discrimination did not start today but it can be challenged only if those discriminated offer more value (i.e. contribute more than others) to the society. Today, it is blacks who are being discriminated however; the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Malaysians, Indians etc. have been discriminated for many years. Those days, Europeans saw Japanese as yellow monkeys but today the EU was elated when she signed a trade agreement with Japan. Trade deals aren’t signed with poor people. Today, the EU – leaders, business community, residents etc. – can never utter such towards the Japanese even if they don’t like the Japanese. What does this mean? When a race is rich, no one disrespects a member of that race anywhere in the world. To buttress this further, I mean, no one disrespects a rich person. This is explained below:


In the early to mid-20th century, the Japanese were mocked endlessly in the United States by all and sundry. To an extent this continued that it almost became criminal to be Japanese in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Japanese_sentiment. However, the fortunes of the Japanese have increased spontaneously and no one dares to do same. Japan has the strongest passport – they can travel to over 180 countries visa free. Visa free statuses aren’t given to poor people. Check the strongest passports, they have one thing in common – those countries have strong GDPs, GDPs per capita and because they are rich, they are most likely to return to their home countries. Even if they don’t return, they don’t constitute a nuisance in the visiting country because they are rich.

Gerrard59:
The strength of the passport helps and for a country to have a strong passport, she must have attained some sort of wealth thereby making her citizens rich/middle class. Yet again, using the Maslow Hierarchy of Need, survival comes first and statistically, most black dominated countries are poor thereby making black people to be the poorest globally of all races. Using that Maslow's rank, you don't expect a poor person to indulge in things like travelling and sightseeing. Na when person don chop belly full, the person go begin dey think of traveling. And for these persons to travel freely without checks here and there, they need a strong passport. But how can the passport be strong when they are poor? Look at the Chinese, when they were poor, they travelled less but now that they are rich, they dominate the tourism market globally that countries dependent on tourism were fearful of the lockdown in China when coronavirus started spreading like wildfire. Same concerns in the higher education industry as most foreign students these days are Chinese (it takes rich people to effortlessly pay tuition fees of >$£30, 000). Another example was when Saudi Arabia revamped her visa rules, she listed China who has tortured more Muslims yet did not include a SINGLE African country including Nigeria which has the highest population of Muslims in Sub-Saharan Africa. In summary, for there to be more black people not necessarily less white people (the advent of Chinese travellers hasn't stopped whites from travelling) travelling, black people have to be rich. When that happens, our passports would be strong, we would achieve the highest point of Maslow's rank and then travel.

The same for the Japanese applies to South Koreans, they were discriminated and insulted but no one does same today because they are rich.
Most recent example of this is the Chinese. Prior to their wealth, Mainland Chinese were one of the poorest people globally. Even though their cousins in Hong Kong, Singapore, Macau and Malaysia were doing well economically, Chinese esp the Han Chinese (the majority ethnic group in Mainland China) were poor, as in, very poor. They were despised, mocked, insulted and had discriminatory statements thrown against them. However, as they are rich, no one dares insult China or a group of Chinese anywhere solely because they are rich. Cathay Pacific Airlines’ CEO and Chairman resigned when the Mainland government criticised the company for having let two of her pilots to participate in Pro-Hong Kong protests. Meanwhile, before both men stepped down, those pilots were sacked. This is because China is the company’s biggest market and no company dares to go against what the customer personally supports or likes. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/16/cathay-pacific-airways-ceo-hogg-resigns-board-notes-hong-kong-protests.html What about the incident between the luxury fashion company D&G and China? The company was accused of insulting Chinese culture and they retaliated by not buying her products anymore and even forced the closure of her stores in China. Chinese travellers went on social media vowing to stop visiting her stores in Milan and elsewhere in Europe. What did D&G founders do? They apologised and even spoke Chinese Mandarin during their apology https://www.scmp.com/comment/letters/article/2175377/chinese-send-clear-message-dg-insult-our-culture-pay-price This should not be surprising after all Chinese constitute half of the world’s luxury shoppers. HALF! Not 20% or 45% but 50%. What this means is: you have two pairs each of Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, Rolex, Patek Phillip and Gucci goods; a Chinese buys half of them. There is no way you would disrespects such a person even if you hate the person, you will accord respect to the individual https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/china/how-young-chinese-consumers-are-reshaping-global-luxury. What about in higher education? The Chinese are one of the few nationalities who pay cash as school fees in the UK, US, New Zealand, Canada, Australia etc. and through this the higher education industry stays afloat effortlessly in those countries. It takes a rich person to fork out 30K euros, Aussie/Canadian dollars, US dollars and pounds consistently as fees and any sort of maltreatment towards these people is met with outright withdrawal. The Australians are currently facing this problem as the government in Canberra accuses Beijing of fermenting troubles in their universities. Beijing retaliates by telling students not to go to Australia again for studies.


Meanwhile, the HE industry chiefs are pleading with Canberra to be very diplomatic because the HE industry is a top four export for Australia. These would not happen if China was not rich because with wealth comes power. They don’t go about hustling scholarships like we do, they pay cash and move into classes in some of the best universities not we that plead for IELTS waiver (even rich Singaporeans write the exam) or demand that GRE should be outlawed. Heck, they even have a prestigious scholarship by a billionaire to study in one of her best universities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzman_Scholars How many foreign billionaires have instituted a scholarship program for foreigners and even Africans to study in any African university? The Covid-19 pandemic has negatively affected everyone’s lives across the globe and this virus which originated from China has also affected black people beyond just being sick or dead. In China, blacks were maltreated by officials yet Chinese were not accorded the same disrespect in Italy. Why? The Italians know the enormous value the Chinese contribute to their society and the repercussions which would follow should they maltreat them for introducing the virus into Italy. Does this mean blacks in China don’t contribute to Chinese society? No, but at the same value as the Chinese do in Italy? No. China has invested in Italy more than any black dominated country has done in China. Heck, the Chinese own a historic Italian brand as Pirelli https://www.reuters.com/article/us-pirelli-ipo/chemchina-gave-up-pirelli-control-to-show-its-market-friendly-face-pirelli-ceo-idUSKCN1BT0YB

Still on China, the famous Yasukuni Shrine is always visited by Japanese leaders who go to honour the dead during the world war but these visits always get the Chinese and South Koreans angry due to the history behind it. It got worse in 2012/13 and Chinese consumers stopped buying or started destroying Japanese products. Nobody told Shinzo Abe, the Japanese prime minister, to stop visiting the shrine ever since. After all, China eclipsed the US to become Japan’s biggest trading partner. You don’t want to get your biggest customer angry. It takes wealth to be Japan’s biggest trading partner.


When I was in the university, the dude who graduated as the best graduating student was respected by everyone even though some people never liked him (don’t expect everyone to like you, it is an aberration). But because it was in an academic environment, everyone accorded him respect and he earned such by being academically brilliant. The saying then was: either be rich, brilliant or handsome as a male student, if not no one will look your face. In the real world, wealth matters and to be wealthy, one needs to proffer value and in return, the person gets paid for it. During the civil war that engulfed the country where more than three million Igbos were killed and compensated with 20 pounds even if the person lost 1000 pounds because of the war. Instead of lamenting and whining, these people embraced capitalism and rebuilt themselves to be formidable. So formidable that today, a child from Abia has to score very high to gain admission into federal schools whereas other places have theirs at low scores even though they never suffered similar casualties. This was similar to the Japanese who faced an onslaught from the Americans during the world war but have more than 30K students studying there with an extremely low visa refusal rate compared to Nigerians who are likely to be denied visa by as much as 80% to study in Canada https://qz.com/africa/1708714/canada-rejects-most-african-student-visa-applicants/ When I visited Ladipo earlier this year, I was stunned yet impressed by what individuals were doing and they own in their lives. I met a man whose children attend one of Lagos most expensive private schools yet this man did not attend a university or when I visited Balogun market and saw mature women who were not “tertiary educated” but own successful businesses. No matter which institution you got your PhD or MBA from, you will respect these individuals for what they have done for themselves economically. You don’t have to like them; they can be ugly or disfigured or just whatever but hey, they are rich and you have to respect them. No one disrespects a rich person.


Now, someone will say Oprah Winfrey visited a luxury store in Switzerland and the sales staff refused to hand the bag priced at 38K dollars even after Oprah asked thrice to touch the bag https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/08/10/210574193/why-didnt-the-store-just-let-oprah-buy-the-38-000-handbag . Let it be noted that Oprah Winfrey is a black individual not the black race of more a billion people. Same way Botswana being visa free to the UK does not mean all black dominated countries are visa free to developed countries. Heck, Batswanaians need to get a visa to the US and other Asian nations even though it has one of the highest GDP per capita in Africa but because she has two million black people not a BILLION, these people are regarded as poor. And this is because the vast vast majority of black dominated countries are poor. No one disrespects a rich person.


Statistically, African Americans are the richest set of black people globally. However, they don’t constitute the most populated set of black people, Sub-Saharan Africans do. This applies to blacks in Europe, South America, Asia, Oceania and elsewhere. No matter how rich black people are in those places, provided their cousins who constitute the majority are poor, they too are poor. What a rich black race with SSA at its fore looks like is: African Americans/other black people relocating in droves if they get sick and tired of everything in their environment. Unfortunately, they cannot because where they are: is richer, has greater economic opportunities and resources than where their cousins reside. This relocation occurred when Chinese Malaysians were discriminated, most left to Singapore which is Chinese dominated and they did so because Singapore is rich. Funny enough, when a country is rich, her delicacies become everyone’s favourite irrespective of its look (ugly or nice) or taste (unsavoury or delicious). It is why Sashimi, a dish characterised of raw seafood is popular across the world and command expensive rates for its serving yet Bole (Port-Harcourt styled) isn’t popular or why Chinese is everyone’s favourite language to learn yet Yoruba isn’t.

What happens to black people across the world is disheartening but it is not the first time a particular race will be discriminated or mocked. The answer is not by protesting or demanding respect (newsflash: respect is earned not dashed (gifted)). We need to earn respect and the only way is by being rich as no one, absolutely no one, disrespects a rich person. It behoves on black people to embrace capitalism and make the dominant black environment (Africa) to be rich. I'm amused when I read tweets and posts from black people who lampoon capitalism. That's the only way to get rich and not to be disrespected by others. Extrapolate that to a rich race, no one dares such. On a final note, this is a snippet from Remi Adekoya:

Imagine a world in which two out of the five largest economies were in Africa. A world in which when Africa sneezed, the rest of the globe caught a cold. A world in which markets breathlessly responded to developments in Nigeria or South Africa’s economy because that had global consequences. It would be a world in which Africa was unignorable. Because no one can ignore the relevant. Relevance today means economic relevance. That is why Africa’s focus this century must be on becoming rich by any means necessary. Anything else is a distraction.

Only then will black lives matter

You are yarning crap. Rich foreigners like Indians, Chinese, arabs still suffer racism. Many white people are not rich either and live oay check to pay check. Many of the Nigerians who studied in the uk from 1990s to 1960s were rich and still suffered racism

I don't think it counts. While the Chinese were not slaves to Americans they were to the Japanese. Made Mockery off in world war 2 and then you have the opium wars with the British and then for most part of the 20th century china was a shithole with massive poverty rates.

Maybe so we have to continue to endure racism and not complain. No one respects a poor man.

This was educative, this is what i keep telling people

The biggest black nation on earth is not develop, why will people respect blacks.

Arabs are respected(oil money)
Chinese are respected( produce lot of important goods for the world, high IQ)
Indians are respected( IT )
Whites are respected( built a civilization, money bag)

only Africans( low iq,poor, poverty, economic immigrant, primitive )

This is the stereotype of different race.

our image will change if we get rich and developed

Please continue to tell them. Funny enough, those who will disagree with my post don't have a favourable outlook towards people they are above until when those people begin to proffer more value or things higher than they do. The way you will think of someone who works with ExxonMobil isn't the same way people will think of someone who works with Zenith Bank. Both companies are good but because ExxonMobil is better, known to have a tougher recruitment process and pays way higher, the ExxonMobil employee will get more attention and higher respect. It plays out in life as every human being is discriminatory, what differentiates is the degree to which this discrimination is shown. The evidence I stated there have shown that people don't respect people who offer low value but will do so when they offer a higher value. Literally, they have no option again. They can hate those people forever but because of the value those people offer, they will have to respect them. Australia keeps accusing China of interfering in her politics and the Chinese banned Australian beef. Guess what? Australian farmers are angry with their government. Meanwhile, her neighbour - New Zealand - is extremely cautious when dealing with China because that's her biggest export market for literally everything New Zealand exports. This displayed itself when Fonterra - the country's biggest exporter - was accused by China of exporting tainted milk. Ministers from New Zealand and Fonterra executives had to go to China, apologised and promised to do better. How many Nigerian ministers have gone to China to demand that Chinese manufacturers sell quality products to the country? It's not possible because Nigerians are poor people and in fact the poorest in the world. Beggars aren't choosers, they take what others give them.

Regarding your statement about the most populated black nation being rich, well, that will be good but this is a game of numbers. The entire Sub-Saharan African countries need to be at least middle class like the Malaysians or as rich as the Singaporeans for a noticeable difference to be made. Foreign airlines disabuse Nigerian passengers, send the most derelict of aircrafts, horrible service etc. Do you think they can try that to the Chinese who constitute a huge proportion of global travellers? Look at the D&G example, how many Nigerians can afford original luxury goods?

nice write up bro so true African's need to rise up needs to make money oh and wealth maybe God hate black man

Very good analysis. Africa that I know can never attain wealth or be middle class like the Malaysians. The African mindset is very polluted, highly religious, loves pulling others down, very lazy, lacks innovation, has an entitlement mentality, bad governance etc etc etc

This highly commendable, Good write up bro. God bless u for this.

But I still wonder y some foolish and ignorant people will still go against or counteract this writeup. Everything u said here is highly the truth.

As u said the the black race has a lot to do in order to stop this discrimination. We need to change our mindset, and the way we think. But how can this happened when we have poor leadership, even the followers(citizen) are a problem to the continent.

Pls MOD this thread need to be on the frontpage.

I will not term them ignorant but oblivious of how the world works. Anyone is free to disagree with me but ask yourself, why do Brazilians have visa free access to more 80+ countries than Bastwanians whereas their GDP per capita is slightly different? It is because Brazilians of whom the vast majority are white people leverage on that privilege to go around the world due to their cousins who are the richest of all races globally. If other African countries are as rich as Bastwanians, we would travel across the world easily without worry because we are rich. No one gives free access to poor people. We would buy authentic products irrespective of the price tag and should anyone insults us, we stop buying those products and the company's bottomline gets affected. When one is rich, you gain power and with this power, you can talk when others are talking. Prior to the rise of China, China literally had no say in world's affairs but that cannot be said currently. People respect those who proffer more value than the opposite even if they don't like them. In this life, you must not be liked but be respected and respect is earned by proffering value.

Good job man, you share the same perspective on this issue of racism with me

Racism or profiling has nothing to do with wealth.

Kanye west said this
"You see its broke nigga racism, that's that - Dont touch anything in the store"
"You see its rich nigga racism, that's that - Come back please buy more"

Needing the money and nothing more.

Christian Cooper who was potentially accused by a white woman who instantly knew to evoke centuries of caste privilege as a white woman and endanger the life of a black man is a Havard graduate who has worked as a comic writer and editor for Marvel. Nope doesnt sound like a poor individual.

There is also a footage of Florida’s only Black state attorney Aramis Ayala being pulled over by police for no reason because she was racially profiled.

Also realise there is anti-black racism, anti-asian racism and anti-Arab racism. Yet, historically, it’s black people who have most often found themselves at the bottom of the pile - maybe because of the days of massa and picking cotton on plantations.

In Brazil, black people (not immigrants but black brazilians) are treated as second class citizens.
Also in India, students of african descents are also persecuted.

According to the UK government’s race disparity audit, relative to whites and Asians, black defendants at crown court were the most likely to be remanded in custody. Between 2017 and 2018, black people in Britain were approximately 10 times more likely to be stopped and searched by the police than white people were, and three times more likely than Asians. (That is from the guardian no be me talk am)

I also wish to not remind you that black Americans from various economic classes in America having also American passports are at the receiving ends of racism and police brutality.

If you have a black skin, you are not racially abused because your social status is lower cadre or from a poor country. Nobody knows this until you are spoken to. YOU ARE RACIALLY ABUSED BECAUSE OF SKIN COLOR!

So except you are a very rich and popular black person which I'm sure you know all cannot be, expect good reception, politeness from people prolly because of your money. But like I said, racism has nothing to do with wealth.

Also in India, students of african descents are also persecuted.

According to the UK government’s race disparity audit, relative to whites and Asians, black defendants at crown court were the most likely to be remanded in custody. Between 2017 and 2018, black people in Britain were approximately 10 times more likely to be stopped and searched by the police than white people were, and three times more likely than Asians. (That is from the guardian no be me talk am)

I also wish to not remind you that black Americans from various economic classes in America having also American passports are at the receiving ends of racism and police brutality.

If you have a black skin, you are not racially abused because your social status is lower cadre or from a poor country. Nobody knows this until you are spoken to. YOU ARE RACIALLY ABUSED BECAUSE OF SKIN COLOR!

So except you are a very rich and popular black person which I'm sure you know all cannot be, expect good reception, politeness from people prolly because of your money. But like I said, racism has nothing to do with wealth.

Individual there are rich and highly educated black people but there are less than 20 Percent of the same race. Out of over 1 billion black people, majority are very poor and uneducated. You can't gain anyone's respect like this. The largest black nation on earth is the world's poverty capital. Chinese, indians, whites and arabs do what they do because blacks have no power and have no money and they can get away with it.

Christian Cooper who was potentially accused by a white woman who instantly knew to evoke centuries of caste privilege as a white woman and endanger the life of a black man is a Havard graduate who has worked as a comic writer and editor for Marvel. Nope doesnt sound like a poor individual.

This happens because the vast majority of black people especially those in the dominant environment of black people - Africa - are poor. Same discrimination you mention happened to the Japanese, Chinese, Koreans and all other groups. They became rich as a race not as various individuals and today, no one dares disrespects them. If the discrimination gets too tough for a particular race, what do they do? They relocate to their dominant environment. White South Africans are doing same, Chinese Malaysians did same by relocating to Singapore, Brazilians of Japanese ancestry relocated to Japan. Question is: how many African Americans, blacks in Brazil, Britain and other places where they face discrimination can relocate to Sub-Saharan Africa? Very few because they are better off economically in those places compared to their dominant environment.

First off, its embarrassing for you to compare anti-asian racism to anti-black racism - what with all the shootings and profiling? You tone down black slave trade and the jim crow periods?
And to your "panacea" being all African Americans or African Britons returning to Africa to develop Africa as the solution to anti-black racism is worrying. How many Asians in America returned to Asia? Do you know how many Asians there dont even know what country of origin they are from?

You expect God knows what generation (from the 1600s )of African Americans to return to Africa and develop it for anti-black racism to end? Of everything you penned down, that is your remedy?

ProfAmaben:

Very good analysis. Africa that I know can never attain wealth or be middle class like the Malaysians. The African mindset is very polluted, highly religious, loves pulling others down, very lazy, lacks innovation, has an entitlement mentality, bad governance etc etc etc

You don't even need to look faraway. Just take a good look at Nigeria.
This is a country that's meant to be a model or country of pride for the black race.

Somebody help me tell this gentleman that being poor or uneducated is no reason to be racially profiled or abused!

There are countless Caucasians who are homeless and uneducated and arent bothered by the police or the System. White privilege!

I condemn racial discrimination in its entirety but discrimination didn't start today and unfortunately won't end either. I don't know where you see me toning any racial discrimination however I understand it's human nature to discriminate. What differentiates it is the degree to which it's shown. Also, I never stated that AAs should return to Africa to develop it rather every black person should have the understanding that until the dominant black environment is rich, people of other races will keep discriminating against black people. If anyone gets sick and tired of this discrimination, the person can relocate but no one will leave where it's better for that person economically.

In my opinion, wealth (individual or collective) can bring respect but not eradicate racism. It will reduce racism to an extent. Asians and Indians also get discriminated against but not at the level of Africans.

The slave trade, Jim Crow, apartheid era e.t.c. severely reduced the worth of a black person. Coupled with the ongoing corruption and malnutrition in Africa.

In the 60s, Nigeria, Britain and Germany were about the same population size of around 60 million but today Nigeria is 200 million while UK and Germany are less than 100 million. Average age in both nations is 40s while Nigeria is 20s with a whole lot of children. If things continue like this, Nigeria will remain poor relatively.

Caucasians collectively are a successful race and get respect where ever they go. Even Arabs who are stereotyped as being all terrorists get way more respect anywhere than blacks alongside Indians and Asians. You cannot threaten a Japanese American and tell him you are going to deport and send him back to his country. Japan is mini heaven on earth but you can't say the same for Americans of African descents. Most of Africa is a shithole.

If Africa was filled with developed countries with high standards of living, there would have been a mass migration back. You can't cross the Sahara desert, cross the Mediterranean sea, die, and get sold into slavery and expect others to have respect for your race. It cannot happen.

ednut1:
well blacks everywhere dont have what it takes. Any African nation that doesn't play ball with the west they Bleep them up. Black nations do not have what it takes to be like the Chinese. Simple fact.

That last sentence about Chinese said it all.

We are still way backward our government ain't helping instead they loot and move to those country.

Unfortunately, that is not how things work. The world is not a perfect place where everyone likes the next person. Oh yes! Those homeless Caucasians (heck Italy is known as the sick man of Europe but average Italians gets respected because their dominant race is rich) are enjoying the privilege of their richer cousins, same way Chinese these days enjoy the privilege and there's a reason for that. How many blacks enjoy same when their cousins are the poorest globally?

Thank you! That summaries my whole point. Humans are naturally discriminatory and while that cannot be eradicated, it can be reduced. While racism begets hate, it can be reduced through collective wealth while earning respect (which is far more important). The belief that everyone likes everyone doesn't exists in human nature.

Dont you get what he's saying. We black nations as a whole has to wake up and be successful to end this racism crap.

"Also in India, students of african descents are also persecuted."

lol, Back in 2009 when i was studying in India, There were total 14 Black students (in my class alone), we were never persecuted.
BTW when you will sell drugs and scam people, you are expected to face some backlash from locals. If you are genuine student who indeed went there to learn, enhance and make carrier then you will live lovely and comfortable life but if someone will go there on Student visa and start making "FAST MONEY", then dont blame foreigners.

I just recalled: when Donald Trump placed a ban on Nigerians who wished to live permanently in the US, most tertiary institutions didn't complain of the US "losing talented Nigerian students" who might decide to stay in the US after their studies. However, when he placed severe restrictions on Chinese students, almost every tertiary institution complained of how America loses talents. Additionally, Chinese at home in surveys reported not to be interested anymore in studying in the US and these American institutions weren't happy because the Chinese constitute the largest percentage of foreign students and most importantly fee paying in the US. You think those schools complained because those students are their siblings or relatives? They did so because these people bring money into the system as fee paying students of which they constitute the largest bloc. Schools are in jitters because they are trying to replace these people (due to Covid-19), however they are yet to find those who can effortlessly and consistently pay $€30K. Ask the Australians whose HE industry is very worried and has complained to Canberra which has no choice to open up borders to the Chinese even though she (Canberra) has warned the Chinese of interference in her local politics.
