      This is impossible because there are cultures that are polar opposites in this world. For example if I’m a woman living in Europe, it would be nearly impossible for me to enjoy a middle eastern culture because I’m most likely not going to be down with way they treat women. In contrary, people who move from the Middle East to Europe sometimes have difficult times conforming to the liberal lifestyle that they enjoy. I’m from New York and my bodega was owned by middle eastern guys who would always serve the men first. Didn’t matter who was in line, the men always got served first. This is not a cultural aspect I enjoy. I respect it, but it’s not for me and I think that’s ok.

    South Africans can sing like no others on earth. I was privileged to be at the Sisa Dukashe Stadium in Mdantsane, circa 92-93, with around 20,000 people, singing the most exquisite harmonies of struggle in anticipation of freedom soon to come.
    This rendition of the 'click song' is tremendous. Thanks Beyond Zulu . . .

      Ian Thompson It's a traditional song which is quite famous, probably the only Xhosa song to be well known on other continents. (Not saying that you should have heard of it: we're all missing some bits of "common knowledge".) The great singer Mirriam Makeba made it famous a generation ago.
      They've put the lyrics, and an English translation, in another comment.

      Darwin wanted all blacks "exterminated." See my series crushing atheist myths proving this.
      Australia honours that genocidal maniac by naming a city after him. China should nuke it becuase he also wanted all Chinese to be "exterminated."
