    not a racist myself and ive no problem with black people but it does seem that the nigerians here are mostly lazy, loud and ignorant. seems like they have no basic manners like saying excuse me when they push past you. anyone else notice how the nigerians are always skipping queues whether its waiting for a bus or in a shop? a quick shot of deodourant wouldnt go astray either.

    ok i know this is going to cause controversy and i am not trolling, this has been on my mnd and several of my friends minds for a long time. i have recently given in to it and realised i am racist and happy with that too.

    i wasnt always like this but with the current happenings of today i couldnt resist it anymore and gave in. you might ask ' what the fook are ya talking about' well let me explain.

    when i was younger(before so many foreigners came over) i can remember saying i wanted to marry a black woman to try and help with the whole racist issue in the world. ha ha imagine that, me a 12 year old at the time and thinking like that. well anyways. almost 10 years on and my views have totally changed. from watching movies and tv and from experiencing things first hand i can honestl;y say that i hate foreigners at this stage and mainly black people.

    and before the pc brigade jump down my pants, i am just stating MY OPINION about this with my experiences.

    from being on moore st and seeing black people deal drugs openly to being harassed in work by black people about anything white people do that doesnt suit them is racially motivated to listening to black people diss white people about race but when white people diss black people its an uproar(chris rock explains this perfectly).

    now dont get me wrong its not just black people and i know they are not all the same....

    ... russians and polish and alot of eastern europeans are on my hate list also, the ignorence i have experienced from them just makes you hate their races. once again not all are like this but a vast majority that are in our country are and take in the fact of where they are from is always on our minds in the way we may treat them.

    its difficult to explain everything properly without debating or talking in person but i hope i am getting my point accross..

    .. i was never racist before but i realised i have become racist over the past while.


    on a last note i must say that i have lots of chinese, korean, pakistani(sp?? opps) friends and also have a foreign gf, but still... i have become racist.

    what do the rest of you think


    Aw aren't you charming? SO WHAT if you've seen black people dealing drugs on moore st! Woop de ****ing doo I've probably seen irish knackers doing that **** and WORSE ABOUT 1000 TIMES MORE. God get your head out of your ass and get a life.

    Classic mistake. The 'but'. Ever noticed how I could replace the word 'nigerians' in your post with any other race, and it'd generally ring true?

    There are Germans who smell.
    There are Irish who can't queue.
    There are Mexicans, Japanese, Indians and French who are loud/ignorant/whatever.

    What does this illustrate? There are people and, thus, from those people, there are assholes. No characteristic is specific to one race - and, inversely, no race lends itself to any single defining characteristic: this is the flaw in racist logic.

    if you read my post right you would see that im NOT talking about black people as a race, just nigerians (who happen to not make up the entire black race). i know black people from different countries and get along fine with them and they themselves have told me they feel the same about nigerians. also im not talking about a once off incident these are incidents that have being consistently happening in the last couple of years through working with them and meeting them out and about.

    How do you tell which black people are Nigerian?

    Probably. Either than or they're jumping ahead of him in the bus queue, saying "Single to Abuja, please".

    i hate the jew becuase they take everybody money and they dont give it back to you


    i also hate the Op , if i find out who he is ill pound his head in good!


    i also hate gingers while we're on the subject


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,302 ✭✭✭✭murphaph


    To the OP, I don't think you worded your post very well tbh but I know where you're coming from on this. I have plenty of first hand experience with probably every race represented in Ireland. I Have to agree with some of the others that it's a bad idea to generalise on race, first off you can make cultural generalisations which can be remarkably accurate, unsurprisingly when it's the 'culture' of the people of x to to y, etc. but as noted earlier, a black guy born and bred in Manchester knows as much about west African culture as you or I. I work with two engish black people and they are culturally identical to the english white people I work with, unsurprisingly. They are polite, courteous, well english people!

    I find certain west African nationals, particularly Nigerians to have a certain, shall we say, attitude problem toward virtually everybody else, including other non-Nigerian Africans. Then again, I know one Nigerian guy who is cool as a cucumber and very easy to get on with., so generalistions aren't at all foolproof.

    I've lost count of the number of times I've witnessed Nigerians 'playing the race card' when challenged about poor work, or anything at all in fact. I'm sick to death of that which is very racist and really does my head in.

    I'll give everyone the time of day until they give me reason not to, then you can forget about it. :)

    To the people who automatically slighted the OP-get a grip, life isn't all 'peace man' and sh!t like that. Real issues of cultural differences causing friction are happening every day in ireland and we are NOT all the same. We're different on an individual and cultural level from each other.

    How do you tell which black people are Nigerian?

    I imagine the same way you might tell how someone would be German, rather than Irish?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 144 ✭✭Doctor Benway

    Language and/or accent? Perhaps thafitz might share his knowledge of various African dialects with us, then, so that we can all tell the difference.

    I actually hope he is a troll, no one is this idiotic unless they're doing it to piss people off.
    Close this thread and put it out of its misery.

    In fairness you just assume it's a troll. Any troll worth his salt wouldn't say 'i am not trolling'. I think he's just a slightly confused guy with a really stupid point of view that even he recognises as such.

    Well given the fact the OP hasn't replied after 3 pages kinda gives it away.

    maybe a black man broke his fingers


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    He could still type with his nose. No I'm sure the black man just stole his computer.

    I could respond in-depth, point by point, to your whole post. But it's easier for me to classify you as a gimp and be on my merry way.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,558 ✭✭✭netwhizkid


    Stereotypes at work here! It is a common belief that many of the misconceptions raised by Black people are true, some are of course and others are. Like some people who maybe be Black fly off the handle at the mention of the word black. many people dislike them which is common as people are slow to change and ethnic diversity in this country. Stereotyping by the media doesnt help either, EG. Fair City's plot with the White Teenage girl and Black fella makes a common misconception that Interracial Dating will become very common place thing in this Country when the opposite is true. Quite often these programmes does more to create a racist agenda than to harmonise integration into the fabric of Irish Society.

    So what now chief?

    OP what the hell does the thread title have to do with the thread content?


    to all those that have asked this question, i had originally decided to post mainly on that but trailed away. basically if you listen to rap or watch us tv or anything, you see black people going on all the time about the white man taking over their world and the white man is to blame for everything blah blah blah..... as i said before... chris rock explains this in so many of his shows. i know its a stretch to hate all black people. i dont hate ALL but hate most because of their views. i suppose i could say i hate their views and not them. but most of the urban black community even in the usa hate white people.

    in anyway, the whole world is seen through the colour of peoples skin, nobody can say that they dont think about some kind of skin related thing when they see other coloured races. its just a natural reaction in todays society. i am not saying it is bad things that are being thought of just that things are being thought of....

    Wouldn't consider it a banning offence, the guy was making a point of how certain minorities are always throwing the blame on Western White people, Like okay we are responsible for a lot of them but not all. They have to stand on their own two feet though. The racist comment was unwanted though but doesnt everybody deserve a 2nd chance?
