salford1: Choi! What of Australia, France and Canada? |
Re: George Floyd's Death: Thousands Join UK Protest by salford1: 3:29pm On Jun 01, 2020 |
PaulH07:I can't say of Australia or France. Never lived there. I have only had stop overs in France. Though I have being singled out by an immigration officer as I was the only black on a plane from Paris to Manchester. He just gave me an extra frisk and pat down but that was all. I live in Canada, and Canada has it's own share of racism. In Canada, they are very good with hiding it, although they sometimes expose it (just google racists incidents and Canada and you would see tons of videos. You might see the one about the white racist in Quebec that shot and killed 6 and injured 19 people in the mosque like 3 years ago too. Canada, just like the UK, are rarely violent with theirs. They would make racist jokes about first nation (people and of course blacks/browns). However, there use to be a practice of driving aboriginals to the middle of nowhere in the deep of winter and drop them there to freeze to death. This has reduced now unlike in the past. I was just going through a Canadian newspaper post on Facebook yesterday. A white man was calling out that BLM be added to a terrorist group in the US. His comment got like 60 likes from other fellow White Canadians and only got 1 dislike from a Nigerian-Canadian. The Nigerian Canadian guy that disliked the post also made a comment and some people laughed and cursed him. That tells you something right? My friend's husband (a medical doctor) once worked in the Northern part of Canada, and would often get rejected by some white patients because he is African. He has now moved to a location more Liberal. Overall, Canada's racism is similar to the UK and both are babies compared to the monsters in the US. |

PaulH07:Throughout my almost 11years stay in the USA I've been racially profiled more than 15times and only one white person stood for me and that is my wife. I've filed 4 different racially motivated suits against different entities there,people don't understand what's going on because they haven't experience it,they rely on media to paint a picture in their minds |

ModestGal: You are the one suffering from inferiority complex. Its because you believe you are a monkey that is why you are angry. You are just brain washed and a hypocrite, have ever protest for the killings that goes on in our society, imagine someone taking pill for another person problem like they care about your damn existence. Black on black violence is more than white cops killing black people. Infact, more white people get killed by cops than black. You are just a prawn for the media, they know that emotional people will spread their bias stories. Black lives should be worth something to black people too. |

PaulH07:At a point I just decided to come back to Nigeria and I've never regret that decision since,racism is emotionally and physically draining. It changes everything for you and no one should have to go through that. Imagine you going for a job interview and they refuse to interview you because you're black and the company director don't relate well with black people. Or you walking into a restuarant and all the white folks there staring at you like you're a masquerade. In the evening you can't walk behind a caucasian in an alley without him or her thinking you want to rob her. |

salford1: 1.I believe it will be hypocritical for any Nigerian to protest for something in another's country whehen we have worst things going on here in our land. 2. The bring back our girl campaign was just politics, we should not forget, the masses didn't protest rather the American political elites did. 3. American police isn't a common enemy to me living in Nigeria. 4. The world generalise alot, we are all called fraudulent and criminals everywhere we go to in this world. 5. Let's stop being hypocrite. 6. Why should I be protesting for rule breakers who got killed, people forgot that the man would have been alive today, if he wasn't drunk while driving, even his medical report said he died from substances in his body. Floyd was asked to step out of the vehicle and initially resisted being handcuffed. Eventually, after being compliant, Floyd was assisted towards their squad car. He was asked if he was on anything and was told that he's boing arrested for passing counterfeit money. Heading to the squad car, 'Floyd stiffened up, fell to the ground and told the officers he was claustrophobic.' Officer Chauvin arrived with his partner as the officers continued to try and bring Floyd into the squad car. Floyd kept intentionally falling, reads the report while saying he would not get in the car and refused to stand still as well. https://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/25881/20200530/autopsy-report-george-floyd-died-asphyxia.htm |

Ogagawhite:100000 people died from corona virus in the us , did you see them protesting? When 9, 11 terrorist attack happened in the us, did they protest? |
Re: George Floyd's Death: Thousands Join UK Protest by Miracle1991: 8:01pm On Jun 01, 2020 |
SegFault:more hundred thousands Americans die from corona virus, did you see them protesting? When 9, 11 terrorist attack happened in the us, did you see them protesting? Instead of joining hands with the government to work against the terrorist you want to protest against the government. A police man killed one footballer in Ogun state and thousands of Nigerians came out and protested. You should know that there is different between killing by law enforcement agent and killing by a terrorist organization. |

sexylassie2:Lol, and your father, mother and forefathers are busy praying you should go abroad and yet you are unconcerned about happenings in the United State. You are just a Selfish racist, since you are unconcerned about the blacks in the US,nor happenings in the US, may the prayers of your forefathers to step foot in the US, another man's land not come true. Self centered African that want to eat where you did not sow |
