Growing up in Nigeria, the premium placed on lighter skin held so much value that it practically stood as it’s very own well-performing currency.

shes a traitorous cow to her tribe

Biafra Igbos are heating up again

And they love Trump

What the Yoruba Nigerians did to them 50 years ago was pretty hard to equal atrocity wise

Igbo are like Tutsi....smart

Yoruba are like Hutu....dumb brawny and numerous

Pity Biafra lost then

I just read some of this ladies writings..man she’s as goofy as Cornel West or Louie ... The myths of tropical African accomplishments before the white man....if they say it enough it becomes Wakanda....really

They slaughter over tribes

And she’s Igbo and should know better actually

Her tribe adores Trump

They do not fit into the rest of Nigeria

If they hadn’t so much oil their secession woulda gone smooth and somewhat unopposed

Lagos is maybe the worlds worst city....a very big Port at Prince with none of the occasional Haitian charm

WTF is a Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and is there a cure for it?

Let’s not forget that Obama paid the sleazy Perkins Coie law firm over $1million to continue his fight against revealing his birth certificate.

My own personal belief is that Stanley Ann Dunham was not married when she gave birth to little Barrack and her parents had the birth announcement published to cover her shame. In 1961 a birth out of wedlock was cause for shame, not chic like it is today.

“Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, 41, is a world-renowned writer who came to global fame when her Tedx talk “We should all be feminists” was sampled in a Beyonce song.”

Who?! I know we as that when we are attempting to show some celebrity @ss-hole isn’t as important as their self-image would seem to indicated, but really, Who the heck is this person (and why should I care)?

This would hasten action on our part, and also allow us to provide incentives to various enforcement officials who would then ensure the persons responsible for those comments are, uhm, convinced to remain silent.

You have a wicked sense of humor.

It is just the right proximity to reality to cause audible mirth to erupt from my face!

Feminists (aka man haters) dislike Melania because:

a. She’s absolutely hot.

b. She’s intelligent.

c. She was successful before she met the Prez.

d. She’s Prez Trumps wife.

e. She’s not a lezbo.

f. All of the above.

I pick f.

“It is just the right proximity to reality to cause audible mirth to erupt from my face.”

Many times I feel that wicked humor is the only “weapon” I have to combat the crazy things that are going on in this world. It sounds silly, I know. If it brought a smile to your face, then thank you for saying so!

“Looks functional to me.”

I worked for the USPS for four years...and hated every minute of it. After leaving, I realized I’d left my (extremely useful) pith helmet behind. It’s the only thing I missed about that organization.
