Nigeria, like its neighbors Niger and Cameroon is nearly all black. This has posed an array of problems for new arrivals, who often find themselves isolated and alone, without the comfort and support of a built-in community.
Shall I repeat it with Korea or Cambodia next? God these people are f****** stupid.

Scholar Calls Pedophilia 'An Unchangeable Sexual Orientation' that Should Be Accepted by Society
basically, a bunch of perverts (liberal teachers) got in a room, and taught a bunch of dumb kids some made of words for genders so they could be useful idiots to help them have sex with children.
I am so very tempted to reserve a 22' diesel Penske truck for this coming weekend, as this only a couple of miles from where I live.
My prediction: people are gonna die.
Activists plan to shut down Lake Shore Drive, take anti-violence march to Wrigley Field

Taking a page from the Rev. Michael Pfleger, a group of community activists plans to shut down a stretch of North Lake Shore Drive as part of an anti-violence march that will end at Wrigley Field next week.
that will end at Wrigley Field next week.
About 4 p.m. Aug. 2, groups that include the Coalition for a New Chicago and Violence Interrupters plan to march on Lake Shore Drive near Belmont Avenue and then proceed to Wrigley Field, said the Rev. Gregory Livingston, one of the group organizers. The Chicago Cubs have a home game scheduled for 7:05 p.m. that day against the San Diego Padres.
“Oftentimes, the cries of complaints from poor people aren’t heard,” Livingston said. “We have to go where the cries have to be heard.”
Livingston would not say if the group plans to get into Wrigley Field, but more details are set to be released about the protest at a news conference Tuesday. He would not say what route the group plans to take, and he did not yet have an estimate of how many people could take part in the demonstration.It’s the second protest in recent weeks in which activists planned to shut down major roadways to get their message across. Pfleger, pastor at St. Sabina’s Catholic Church on the South Side, led a demonstration on the Dan Ryan Expressway earlier this month to spotlight crime, joblessness and poverty. Despite warnings from Illinois State Police of possible arrests, Pfleger and other activists remained defiant, and they were able to temporarily shut down the Dan Ryan after on-the-scene negotiations with police.
In the end, Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson marched shoulder to shoulder with Pfleger underneath a large cross reading, “Stop shooting.” Pfleger later said community activists were meeting with elected officials, which was one of the goals of the demonstration.
Pfleger did not immediately return a request for comment on plans to join the Aug. 2 demonstration.
Among the group’s demands are the resignations of Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Johnson, Livingston said. But the organizers want more than that. They want to see more investment in their communities and better diversity within the ranks of the Chicago Police Department.
One point of friction is how Emanuel appointed Johnson after disregarding finalists picked from a national search for the city’s top cop. The former superintendent, Garry McCarthy, was fired by the mayor after a public uproar over a video that showed Chicago police Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times as the teen walked away from officers with a knife. Van Dyke’s first-degree murder trial is slated for Sept. 5.
Emanuel and Johnson did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Recent police shootings, including fatal ones, are why the activists say they would like to see resignations from Johnson and Emanuel.
The groups began planning the march after Chicago police fatally shot Harith Augustus on July 14 in the South Shore neighborhood, Livingston said. The deadly shooting has sparked a series of protests that at times have led to tense interactions with police. Within 24 hours, Chicago police released a video clip from the incident, but it didn’t include any sound and left viewers with questions about what transpired seconds before the shooting.
The video clip shows Augustus had a holstered handgun, and police have said he did not have the proper license to carry the weapon in public. Livingston said if Augustus didn’t have a concealed carry license, then he was in the wrong.
But Livingston questioned how officers would have dealt with Augustus if the incident had unfolded in a different part of the city.
The planned march will no doubt snarl traffic and irritate people, but activists say they want that to shine a spotlight on their cause, Livingston said. It also would take place on the first day of the four-day Lollapalooza festival farther south in Grant Park.
Organizers have not reached out to Chicago police or the mayor about the planned protest. And participants know they could face arrest, Livingston said.
“We are not asking anyone for permission at all,” he said. “They (police) do what they have to.”

Four leftist scientists were doing an experiment with a frog.
They put the frog on the floor and yelled, "Jump Frog!" The frog jumped four feet. The scientists wrote, in their scientific notebooks, "Frogs with four legs jump four feet!"
Next, the scientists cut one of the legs off the frog.
They put the frog on the floor and, again, yelled, "Jump Frog!" The scientists wrote, in their scientific notebooks, "Frogs with three legs jump three feet!"
Again, the scientists cut one of the legs off the frog.
They put the frog on the floor and, again, yelled, "Jump Frog!" The scientists wrote, in their scientific notebooks, "Frogs with two legs jump two feet!"
Again, the scientists cut the last of legs off the frog.
They put the frog on the floor and, again, yelled, "Jump Frog!" The scientists wrote, in their scientific notebooks, "Frogs with no legs are deaf""
