Default Why Tribalistic/Racist people are stupid...and make us all dumb.



One of the reasons I can think for this to happen, is that Tribalists/Racists, love to appear superior/more knowledgeable than other tribes/races that are not theirs, so If you Post anything on which they could get a good teeth-in..you had better be ready to agree with them or die defending your tribe/race, especially if you are going to posit something before the Good People of NVS that has any kind of reference to a part of Nigeria, especially the Big 3..Wazobia.
No matter how, Sound, bullet proof, logical, and lucid your argument is, it will be rendered completely useless and irrelevant by a Tribalist, or One of our own home grown Black supremacists. Unless it meets their standard of pandering to their chosen tribe or race (usually theirs)

As far as our Black supremacist is concerned...anything that is in co-operation with any non black person is null and void....
Did you just find the cure for Jadi Jadi? Who the hell cares – your press release used the word British Scientific research... where you should’ve used 'Igbo trado medical practices' or 'Yoruba Ancient Medicine' or 'Hausa Cultural healing practices'
You, Sir/madam, are an African-Ignoramus, culturally-ignorant, Jadi jadi-curing colostomy bag of a human being....Did you not know that we could cure all those things before the whiteman came?
And now you are saying he came and taught you research...now you are praising him to the high heavens.....And the abuse goes on and on

This phenomenon becomes even more pronounced when The two people are from the same tribe and one is not a tribalist.
You’d think that when debating some topic, the first thing you’d do in response to someone else’s opinion is to examine it for disingenuous or misleading statements, logical errors, invalid assumptions, lies, and other things that actually matter.

This is not the process Tribalistic people follow.

Instead, they will read your argument with a sharp and critical eye – And the first time they go through it, all they’re doing is looking for baseball bats to use against you in your writing.
they’re looking for dangling prepositions use, spelling errors, sentence fragments, improper semicolon, and other things that are as relevant as a bicycle is to a fish, to the argument.
They don’t care that, after observing malu in the wild for 8 years, you’ve discovered that some have learned to cultivate their own food: you spelled grass in your research paper 'graz', and therefore, you are only slightly more intelligent than the very creatures you study.

Once Our tribal chieftain discovers a grammatical error in your writing, the debate is effectively over.
You will usually be told something to the effect of “Why don’t you go to school before you post next time?” "I now know why they say Igbo people chase money instead of going to school"..Or "is this how they taught you at those Jakande schools to spell intestine?" And, surprisingly, this will be enough to convince a lot of people in the village that a.) you’re an eed-i-ot, and b.) the person that called you out is Einstein.

There are only two ways to regain any modicum of credibility:

To begin with, Point out the spelling and grammatical errors of someone else – preferably the person who called you out. Then everyone will think you’re both equally imbeciles, and they’ll be ready to listen to you again. This is a scorch earth policy,
because at this point, people no longer think you should be taken seriously.
Secondly people who were once seen as intelligent Posters are now seen as contestants in a poop flinging contest that, while amusing, has nothing to do with the original topic anymore.
or…
Two: Win one Nobel effing Prize for each grammatical mistake you've made, and try posting again.
Unfortunately, you can't win this way either. By the time you win your prize(s), the original topic will be deemed yesterday’s gossip, and the village will once again render you a pestle and mortar throwing, Capacious bakassi hole...for bringing up ‘old turd'
