  • When one sees a newspaper headline which announces that, ‘Scientists stunned by 'extraordinary' ancient wooden structure discovery’ it is perhaps reasonable to expect something a little more dramatic than the finding of sticks in Africa.

      Yes, and I feel terribly guilty for using a shovel earlier today, because aside from the metal spade shaped scoop on one end, the rest of it is just a stick, which I obviously appropriated.

And the reason why is because white people are too nice. We continue to be too nice. That has to stop and when you look at someone in the area, they need to know that you’re not gonna be walked all over and that you’re not there friend. This is why and it’s the only reason we are in the situation that we’re in. Because white people raise pussy children.

The initail sales of slaves happened in africa, but the ships and the auctions still went ahead by and for the "whites" Dont you know how the sale of merchandise works, you buy wholesale and then resell for a profit, it isnt rocket science...
      Also the portigese were the main slave traders for the first 130 years, with, portugese ships. In fact, the portugese actually coined the terms "black" and "white" during this time. Plus during the time the british got involved, the ship building industry was mainly in scotland, so how does that check out with your "facts" when the british built and used the ships you were refferring too...Its just insanity. The ships were owned by powerful merchants, who were generally and overwhelmingly "white"

      Africans are Cro Magnon with up to 40% (!) superarchaic hominid. (super meaning older than other archaic)
      Which means we cant have come from Africa, but contrary even, Cro Magnon ventured into Africa and mixed with the superarchaic hominds.

    During in the Great American Toilet Paper Famine of 2020, my sister-in-law (a communist whose family came here from the Philippines) suggested we could instead use some sort of Filipino invention, which she described as "a bucket with water in it." Fantastic.

      My wife try to teach me to use it too. It is actually not water in the bucket but a cup to use pour water on our genitalia and rub it with our hand to clean.
      When I understood what she wanted to explain, I told her we have bidet for this purpose invented. She started to use the bidet but returned to her cup later. She said it is more comfortable to use for her. Still like her though.

    I remember thinking something similar about Zulu. His "Bull Horn" tactics (or whatever it was called) seemed like baby's first pincer maneuver. Then I realized he was outnumbering barely armed white settlers 10-1. It's not even a pincer maneuver, it's just what happens when you outnumber someone 10-1. You envelope them. Yet every article acts like he's Africa's Sun Tzu for killing a bunch of women and children, and then getting decimated by a small disciplined British force that he again, outnumbered 10-1.
    Really, his only invention was figuring out you could kill people instead of taking them as slaves.

    I recently stayed at an old hotel in West Virginia during a road trip and while waiting to be seated for dinner, I was looking at historical items held in a large case in the lobby. There was a wooden board with little slivers of stone attached that were labeled "Native Toys" and I couldn't hold my laughter. Amongst all these cool items from the development of the area they featured these tiny, unimpressive little rocks as some sort of cultural development of the local Indian population. I just thought it was kinda funny.
