You have just been trolled.
The first one is a definite joke. Even though Gnaa, Nigeria is a real place, there is also an infamous trolling organization by the name of GNAA (google what it stands for).

That second one, tl;dr, but scanning through it it seems to be a mixture of trolling and genuine racism.
I can see why you'd get offended but all is fair in love,war, and the internets.

I'm black, I've had to deal with all kinds of racism on and offline. It doesn't even bother me anymore.

Lurk around long enough and you will see things that you will remember on your deathbed.

Not really. It's just generalized humanity. Between racism, anti-semitism, greed, all out stupidity and religion, I'm surprised that we haven't all killed each other off yet.

That's a religion, not a race; thus, you are not affected by racism.

After a while, you just sort of tune out racism. Me for instance, I figure, if someone is trying to offend me, they're obviously too damn stupid to waste the energy on being mad at. So I just ignore it instead. <_<

PS: Ignoring racist people makes them even madder, you should try it sometime.

It's kinda like the difference between a square and a rectangle.

All racism is stupid, but not all stupidity is racism.
