Someone called you black and your stomach is tumbling
cry

In Nigeria our President called a region 5% and some idiots supported him.


In Nigeria, an idiot called Nnamdi Kanu insults Yoruba and Hausa everyday on radio and some idiots cheer him up.


In Nigeria, an Oba who is a traditional ruler threatend to drown a tribe in the lagoon and some idiots and miscreants cheered him up.


In Nigeria, everyone is black which means we can't be profiled by our skin color but we still dig out others ethnicity in order to mock them.


What I'm saying in essence is that, You ve faced worst or heard worst in Nigeria so don't let that girl to make you feel down. She might be having a bad day. saying blacky isnt racist IMO.

what is wrong in calling a black person black? Blacks are too weak and fragile mentally and I believe that it's inferiority complex that makes blacks cry when whites call them black. if an albino, who is also white naturally calls you black will you cry?

I don't think the statement was racist. I sometimes feel bad for white people though, it's almost as if black people just observe every word coming out of their mouths and if one sounds off, bam, they tag the person racist.
We say the worst things and get away with it.

Oga Racism, racism, ethnicity and tribalism will always be with us.

We experience worse things in Nigeria here. Even in the same state, you find people from a particular constituency discriminating against others.

We humans tend to look down on people we feel we are better than!

You have a point, it's a reason I didn't think about it much then, she might have being high on something too, weed is legal. It was a Canadians that told me her comment was intended to be an insult. My post was supposed to be entertaining though, 99% of people here are nice.

Relax sir, I believe my tone of writing had no form of fragility, I'm just telling a story.

Thats a heavy generalization but I agree with some points you made.

Re: My Encounter With Racism In Canada by salford: 2:37pm On Feb 14, 2019
I am sure you would have heard whites use all types of racial slurs on first nations people or say nasty things about them but never really noticed it becuase it wasn't directed towards your race. I guess this is a wake up call for you that Canada indeed has lots of racist. Unlike that nasty girl, majority are not just bold enough to reveal or say shiit to your face. If you check Calgary sun commenters on Facebook, you will find a lot of them are closet racists. If this ones interview you for a job or are in a position of decision making. Just forget it...
Keep your head up and continue chasing success. A succesful non-white drives racists crazy.
