Ajuran: Why do negroids do such things as this? Another Example of Cushitic people being superior.

They are your neighbours.

btw your "cushtic" people do female circumcision.

PAGAN 9JA:



what benifits?

are uncircumcized people dying today?


You are just biased and narrow minded like the rest of your lot.

even i can rubbish circumcision as a nonsense and perversion of nature.

if you want to find benifits in this, then let me tell you:

-It is culture.

-It reminds young boys during their initiation of their 6 major duties. This they will remember life long whenevr they look in the mirror.

-During war time and cattle raiding, it helps distinguish tribe members so they are not mistakenly killed in the cross fire.


(remember in the SPLA war, this was very essential.)

-While abroad , it helps you recognize tribe members.

PAGAN 9JA:


polio has nothing to do with that.

Do you know that in Kano state, some people refused to allow their children to be vaccinated? Why? Because its against their culture!

i think that has more to do with religion.

homesteady:

there are disadvantages as well.


anyways that is not the point.

i hope you get my point and come out of your box.

homesteady:

No wonder we still have polio cases in Nigeria!

Absolutely nothing to do with tribal markings

?? This is traditional, just because you have a Eurocentric view does not mean you have a right to label something barbaric... it I obviously doesn't kill them. Do you see them crying?

Tradition to identify your ethnicity. We now have technology and education to identify each other. See, i am sure if today's educated women had the opportunity to choose whether they can be circumcised, they would be very happy

Why are you comparing apples and oranges?

Fulaman198:

Why are you comparing apples and oranges?

And how exactly is fgm and tribal marks apples and pears. Are they both not tradition?

lol! You crack me up onile how do you think its suppose to be done?

But yeah...I'm personally against scarring.

Fulaman198:

It has nothing to do with Eurocentrism and scarring is not limited to Africa. To me I agree it is kinda barbaric, especially doing it on a kid.

It is like saying getting a tattoo is barbaric

Fulaman198:

Its like saying having rough sexxx is barbaric, am into that by the way, don't judge me.

KidStranglehold:

It is eurocentrism, it is a culture that Africans have practised for thousands of years. There is nothing wrong with ethnic marks. I know you are from the western world so you would wouldn't understand. Pagan does though

Lol you are right in a way. These are just humans trying to impose their belief system on others.

pple choose to get tattoos and not forced to get inked

kandikane are you a female? what country are you from?

Fulaman198:

Again scarring is not limited to Africa and is not only practiced by Africans.

Western Scarification


New Papua



It doesn't matter if its who practice it Africans, Westerners, Asians, Pacific Islanders,etc...Its still barbaric to me because its painful and leaves markings from scaring. Especially when its done on a kid.

Also please dont tell me that I have a Eurocentric view, because trust me I've been battling against Eurocentrism and hardcore Eurocentrics more than anyone on this site. Me living in the western world has nothing to do with it. I wouldn't be surprised if other Africans or even Africans that live in isolated rural areas find it barbaric.

onila: pple choose to get tattoos and not forced to get inked

Not only that I have a bunch of tattoos...

1. Getting a tattoo is not as painful as scarring.
2. Kids under 18 are not allowed to even get tattoos, where as those Dinka kids are forced to get scarification.
3. More people get tattoos than Scarification even since ancient times.

It is not anyone's place to deem it as wrong. If people want to get markings or tattoos on their body let them, it is not killing them.

why you replying to me? are you kandikane?

My problem is kids being forced to get it...If you want to get scarification then knock yourself out.

I also dont approve of the lip plates the suri women wear for even more reasons.

It is still a modification you do to your body.

Since you have tats, don't you think it's a bit hypocritical to deem others who partake in body modification wrong?

I don't like lip plates either but I'm not going to judge those who partake in such

I am sorry, how silly is this comment. For your information, i am an african and I am most certainly sure I have more knowledge of this issue more than you. Now, what exactly is eurocentralism. Which western world delves in the mutilation of female Instruments? Please do not come across as daft. If nothing is wrong with ethnic marks then nothing is wrong in vaginal mutilation right? I am certainly sure, if you had such hideous scars on your face and you will have a different opinion. Tradition, do you know how such things affect you socially, physically and mentally. Unless, you have gone through one of these traditional scars you have no grounds to stand on.

Scarification is much more painful that you cant even compare the two. During scarification your using a KNIFE repeat KNIFE as seen in the image onila posted and its also much bloodier. In tattooing your just using a needle, which is actually tiny.

But as I said, my main problem was kids in those Dinka tribes being FORCED to get scarred.
