Giannis: "I'm a Nigerian"

[moongaze]

Everyone wants to be Nigerian after Kamaru Usman beat the shit out of TWood

[East River Livn']

Everyone likes the hyphen in their name until asked if they'd like to move to their "native" country.

And how is Giannis so tall? Nigeria is becoming a nation of pygmies. They used to be tall but are shrinking rapidly in height for some reason.

Noah is not even the worst of the worst. His parents were both French and he lived in France as a child for like 10 years.

The two worse I can think of are Chris Kaman who played for Germany because hie great grandparents were German and Ibaka who played for Spain where he lived for less then 3 years as a teenager.

But Ibaka is the worst of the worst. Kaman wouldn't make Team USA so he decided to play for Team Germany. Ibaka on the on the other hand could have played for an Africa Team (The Congo) like his parents did but instead choose Spain where he basically had a layover in the airport. And this is after the dunk contest in the all star game where he had people bring in all all the African flags shown to prove how proud he is too be African and then goes and plays for Spain. He is a hypocrite and the lowest of the low, human vermin.

Some of you nikkas are way too emotionally invested in this, calm the fk down

Really?

Maybe it's because they are overpopulated and living in filthy cities.

ISH is full of racists.

The number of years you've lived in a country should in no way be enough for a citizenship.

10+ years should be a minimum. Then you'd have to prove that you love your new country and would be willing to die for it. Military service should help, so would having children with a local. Charity work.

It's an absolute travesty how European countries give away citizenship like candy.

Bullshit. People should not be penalized for not winning a lottery of being born into a more developed country. Merit over luck. If you can in five years prove you can really contribute, you should be in, no nonsense.

That American nativism is pure garbage, you're all a bunch of immigrants, yet you hate immigrants. Trump's grandfather is immigrant, his mother is immigrant, his wife is immigrant and yet, he is a champion of anti-immigration? Hypocrite bullshit.

It's not winning the lottery to be born in a certain country, it's being given the torch by a thousand year string of winners in life. Your parents and their parents and their parents, worked hard and fought, so that their ancestors would have a nice life.

This is why the ghetto mentality holds people back. You got to be willing to sacrifice for your children, even if you yourself will not have an easy life.

Being in a county illegally is not immigration.

Really? Well, my parents worked hard for the future, and their parents before them, and their parents before them. And then came one dictator and ruined in ten years what took generations to build!

And consider yourselves unbelievably lucky that your Trump is a 72 year old fatal-stroke-just-waiting-to-happen or you'd also get a chance to witness what I witnessed, how an imbecile populist with a huge ego can destroy your country in a decade.

So don't assume that when people are in trouble, it must have been their fault. There is nothing exceptional about America, you were mostly just lucky.

Yes, it is. It is in fact called 'illegal immigration'.

I'm not american.

We're talking about Giannis.

Greece survived as a nation for 3000 years, against Persians, Romans, Ottomans, Turks and now you want them to forget their 3000 year history and make Giannis a greek, just because someone says he is?

What does it matter? Why do people care so much about being part of a country which is not theirs? Why can't Giannis just be a nigerian who grew up in Greece and still be a great basketball player.

If he wants to be a Nigerian, nothing wrong with that. But he is born and raised in Greece, which should give him a right to the citizenship by every legal standard of every sane country. But in Greece you actually have 30 year olds who lived their whole lives here and never knew any other home but Greece and they are not citizens, which is a god damn disgrace.

Lets be serious tho, the only reason immigrants go to Greece is because it is easy to get too. It is a purely geographic decision.

One of the dumbest statements I've ever heard. 1000 years lol. Slavery only ended 150 years ago. Most of the first world nation's got rich off forcing others to do the hard work. Blacks have only really been given a fair shot in the last few decades. White people have basically had a 600 year head start. It has nothing to do with sacrifice and the b.s you talking.

Greece never had slaves they WERE slaves for 400 years, you dumb fukk product of a ghetto school. Greece became independent 100 years ago!

Holy shit, how do you make it through the day.

Do you know why it's called slavery? It's because the SLAVS were taken for centuries by the millions to be slaves.

Man, you guys need your school money back.
