Why Do We Value White People's Life More? by Klinee: 7:21am On Nov 22, 2015
Why do we give much sympathy to country like usa,france,uk and others(mostly europeans and americas) when a tragic event like insurgent militant attack happen to them. I remember the recent french terror attack where my social media friends were all praying for france. But boko haram struck this country on a daily basis, the recent mali attack and also that of kenya nobody pray for any of this countries. Is it that their life is valueless or what? Am not against you praying for those country but you should also pray for this country because we are all human being. Cc:lalasticala

Because we can see how they value THEIR own lives. The value you get from people is the one YOU placed on YOURSELF.

Because we are yet to undo,unravel and unpick the colonial mentality they sewed into our very fabric.

It's not just their lives but virtually anything that is white or non-African is automatically valued more. When they are on African soil they are automatically oga or madam even if they were jobless in their home country.

Exactly! I couldn't have put it better myself grin

This also applies to wealth. People keep complaining that people like PSquare keep getting deals, "the rich keep getting richer", and I wonder if they realise the fan base these guys have and what the companies that make them their ambassadors stand to benefit from the deal.

Reminds me of the quote, "people don't like you, they only like you for what you have to offer them. So make yourself more valuable".

Sorry if it seems I'm digressing but your comment created a bridge grin

Hmmmm......I'll have to write that quote somewhere. Value. I spent countless hours and days studying the rich and the poor; and I've spent months developing my mind and faculties. Needless to say, I gave a talk sometime ago in PH for 2 hours and was handed a cool cheque. When it landed on my palm, I knew and appreciated the place of VALUE. They paid me for spewing words they consider to be valuable.

The poor keep complaining but they won't take the time to study the habits of the rich. SMH!

Exactly. Poor people complain. Rich people increase their value. The difference is clear

Because Africans (especially Nigerians) are slavish baboons!

The stuff you cheer and condone here just because the victim is from a ethnic group you hate, you can't get away with it in Europe or North America! They can even do you for saying the wrong thing, never mind murdering thousands in cold blood and getting away with it!

Unacceptable excuse for not caring for your own nationals. DUDE, the people that are massacred by Boko Haram, AND WHO DESERVE YOUR OUTRAGE AND SYMPATHY IN (at least) EQUAL MEASURE TO the FRENCH VICTMS, are not responsible for your real or imagined 'faults' of Nigerians or Africans. They were just innocent people like you, with aspirations, going about their daily lives, and more often than not, contributing their quota to this economy. There is no evidence that any of those victims ''valued our lives less'' than anybody in Paris. If it is our GOVERNMENT you're complaining about, then it makes no sense holding the average man on the street responsible for their actions or inactions as the case may be.

Look at it this way. If (God forbid) something untoward happens to you today, say due to govt neglect of a road, and your car crashes, are we to blame YOU for your calamity? Or otherwise reduce our sympathy towards you on account of you being a Nigerian, and therefore, responsible for the bad road?

Many thanks!

The black race invented and pioneered mathematics, architecture, medicine and the sciences.

The city of Kerma in Sudan, built with advanced geometric and mathematical principles, is over 5,500 years old, which approximates to roughly 3,000 years before the earliest known white civilization.

Lesson: Without the African foundation, there would be no 'western' civilization today.

Many thanks.

ALL RACES ''CREATED THE MODERN WORLD''.

Crediting whites alone for modern civilization is as dumb as walking into a room and finding a little boy pouring icing over a cake. And then crediting him with baking the cake.

This is exactly how the black race ignorance trends, knowing something first but another people from another race would utilize it to their benefit and intelligently keep the black race as slaves and puppets. Nice work bro, for diggin deep to bring out more reasons the black race is substandard race to the white eventhough they had the idea of civilization first, which is ironic today because the black race is predominantly known as the primitive third world and where really are the civilized people today and what race do they posses?

In this world, it is turn by turn. No race stays at the top indefinitely, due to human fallibility. The white race you think are so great will one day be struggling at the bottom like their forbears. In fact, it's starting to happen already, ever so slowly. Asia and Africa are the fastest growing regions in the world today, economically. The world could be a very different place in just 50 years time, not to mention 200.

before the industrial revolution, life was pretty awful for the average person, hunter gatheres probably lived better lives than most civilised person. Life only improved for the average person in the modern age, all thanks to innovation by mostly north west europeans.

Absolute nonsense. There were thriving societies all over the world before the industrial revolution. In many societies and kingdoms, hunger was unknown. Order was kept, and justice prevailed.

There would have been no industrial revolution without the writing, architecture, mathematics, philiosophy, alchemy, chemistry, mining of minerals, metallurgy, and international trade, invented and pioneered by Africans/Asians, over thousands of years. The industrial revolution did not occur in a vacuum. You didn't have white folks running around in caves suddenly developing advanced scientific capabilities. They built on the knowledge generated by earlier civilizations.

In a nutshell what you trying to tell me is, one day the black race would also mental slave the white race and also subjugate their race, okay, it makes perfect anti-sense. But since inception, Have you ever witness any revolution of power change hand by different race aside the white race?

ye, the same was the case with many hunter gathere societies. Don't forget the many disease outbreak due to living in cramped squalid conditions. Hunter gatheres were far more healthy than settled people until recently, the only disadvatage they had was lack of immunity from the viruses carried by diseased settled people and their low population numbers.

there's a reason why hunter gatheres had higher life expectansy than settled people, untill recently.
