Tribal issues huh?

This ain't news.It's the norm that has been on since the genesis of man.Humans naturally look for who to blame when things aren't going their way.It starts with them blaming family members for their problems.Then blaming another community.Then blame people of another tribe or race.When people are frustrated, they tend to take it out on someone or some people.That's just how the world goes.It's that simple.

ignorance

mccloud224, I'm not sure scapegoating is the answer/reason. . .

ok im from the us. im irish decent and we dont even know what clan (tribe) that our ancestors came from so why is it such a hugh deal here?

That's not a good enough comparison. You being born of Irish decent is not the same as someone born into whichever African culture they are from.

it doesnt matter if i was born in ireland or the us. majority of the old ways have been forgoten or merged with other cultures. the most sacred of irish traditional holidays (holloween) is now celebrated all over the world. yule (germanic holiday) was merged with christmas (most christmas traditions are from yule) and is now celebrated all over the world. why have we moved beyond this whole clan/tribal thing and why is it apart of everyday life here in nigeria?

I repeat. . You being born of Irish decent is not the same as someone born into whichever African culture they are from.

If you think well enough, you should be able to arrive at the answers to that question on your own, without much difficulty.

again not answering the question.

is there an actual reason or is another one of those my dad sis it so i must do it nonsence?

Why do irish people in ireland have issues with english.

Why do basques in spain have issues with people from mainstream madrid?

Why are there issues between french speaking belgians and dutch speaken belgians?

Why are there issues between french canada and english canada?

Why didn't Czechs and Slovaks remain as Czechoslovakia?

Why was there the Balkan war?

agathamari, maybe I'm not thoroughly understanding what you mean by "tribal issues". Do you mind expounding even more on that ["tribal issues"]?
