I hate it when a white person ask; when will you return to your country.

If it's in Europe, a white man may ask this. But in America, America doesn't belong to the whites. They are immigrants like everyone else. America belongs to the Red Indians.

No white man has a moral right to ask such a dumb question in a land that doesn't belong to him

The Dravidians were the first humans established in India: they were black. The migration of the 'White Indians' , in order to preserve their dominance on the indigenous blacks, instituted the oldest system of racism. A black Indian's shadow must not even come near them, and they were relegated to slaves, ditto Sri Lanka . They fear our genetic structure, because our genes are dominant; they fear being assimilated by inter-marriage to Black people: their genes would disappear almost totally with time. We are the natural humans; the first.
I think Kali the goddess of destruction was originally black.

I learnt something today. Have always been wondering why some Indians are black and others so white.

I read the whites are the Aryans (72% of Indian Population) Live in North India. The blacks are the Dravidians(28% of the population) Lives in South Indians.

The Aryans came from Iraq and Russia while the blacks came from Sudan. Because the whites were more than the blacks they conquered the blacks when they arrived and pushed the blacks further south.

Thanks for this piece of information. I'm very grateful

i never understands what it means to be racially abused,until 2011 when i boarded a train from Beijing west train station to Guangzhou Train station. I was the only black man in that coach,everyone was Just looking at me,talking in their Language and laughing at me,calling me HEGWE(BLACK DEVIL)Because i don't understand the Language then.The most annoying part was when a family that sat close was telling their cry cry baby that if he crys again that they will bring him to me and the baby stopped crying. It was hell for me back then,especially when it's coming from Chinese people not from original White people
be it white nor Chinese, do not reason in such a way that it is normal for a white to be racist towards you.

I entered metro. Knowing how racist most Chinese are towards blacks, I don't sit beside them (I go avoid you before you avoid me). This woman still whispered to her husband and they changed seat I told them no need to change seat I'm not sitting close to you. In China, if they see you it's either they adjust their mask, change route or use their hands to cover their nose. This is everyday occurrence
do the same thing..

2009 in Poland.I was on the tram with other two brothers from Cameroon and these idiot racist guys sighted us and started cursing and spitting at us without any reason.Nobody even blink an eye until the tram left.
The racists didn't get on the tram though.

The spitting was what really off me man.

Then my MIL is a damn racist too.

And few other experiences.


People say Chinese are racists.
Maybe yes maybe no.
I lived in China.China made me before I moved to Europe.But still travelling between Europe and China until 2019 before the emergence of corona pandemic.And I swear I have never experienced any form of racism in China except when I was studying in a university in Shanghai and one of my 1st year lecturers,I think was a racist.He made white house/black house sh it then.Apart from that,I love China and Chinese people to the core.
Although the Chinese I met in Europe here are very different from the Chinese in China.
I can say Chinese are not racists.
You respect them,the respect you back.
Shanghai is a great city to live until our Igbo developers came in their multitude and spoil the city for us by selling crack and other drugs in the streets in Shanghai.

By the way I lived in Chengdu,Sichuan and Shanghai,the GREATEST and wealthiest city in the world.

In fact China is a great country.
God bless China.
God bless Shanghai.
God bless Poland too.

You are ignorant and a bigot yourself. You were able to point out the crime done by your fellow blacks but to you the Chinese were perfect.

Where do the igbos get the crack from then? If not from the manufacturers in China. Blacks are their own enemies. I'm sure you have a problem with the igbos.

is it true it can be boring sometimes living abroad, do you get to visit neighbours, chill or na to just dey indoors most times and TV

Everyone is usually busy at different times except it is pre-planned...

I havent seen my neighbors since over 3 moths now. My friends are either working when i'm free, or i'm working when they are free.

We have to plan an outing a few weeks before it happens. Plus, no one wants to drive unnecessarily under snow because the roads are slippery.

Wow. This is crazy. One of my guys that went to do Masters in UK said one day he was walking jejeli on the road and one guy in a passing bus stuck his head out the window, shouted, "nigger" and threw bottle water on him. The thing opened and splashed all over him. He said he didn't even know what to do afterwards.
Too bad. He should have reported to the cops.

We give them too much attention and we always feel inferior.

Here in Nigeria, if I see a white man/woman, no matter the urge to look at them I make sure my gaze doesn't pass once. The annoying thing you will see is most Nigerian looking at them till they feel the importance.

We might never be free from it until we develop our country.

Brazil has the largest population of black people outside Africa because of the slave trade.
Go to Salvador in Brazil and see them selling Akara on the street.
Where did you think Brazilians got Yemọja from?
Do you think Ronaldinho is white?

The same thing happens to me in Germany, where my guy knows his boss very well but told me no offer yet because am not Esan Edo, but took another Esan guy to the boss.
When asked the guy who got the job how did he do it? He said it was my friend who took him to his boos angry angry angry

If you are young, black and drive a very expensive car, you can be pulled
over by the police in the U.S (they will ask you for car registration
and your drivers license).


Go and ask the NFL and Basketball athletes.

The same thing happened to Mario Balotelli when
he was playing soccer in Europe.
