    This was a great first episode of The Moment of Truth. What was really interesting was the point about how Jews unified after the holocaust while Africans as a whole stayed tribal. It’s the single biggest disappointment for me as Black person from a global context. Europeans know when to drop the bullshit and fight as one, Africans don’t.

    We have way too many coons and cowards in African society. How are you running from the land with all the resources and then claiming superiority for abandoning it? It just doesn’t make sense, it is cowardice at its finest.

    OK and can you tell me how Nigerians are leading in education in America but no one goes to Nigeria for a college education?? Shouldn't they have the top universities in the world, since they value education so much......

    And it's weird, because when they enroll in college, they are black. When they graduate, they are Nigerian/African.
