      @@GrumpyTinashe Thats the same as when people say "white this or that" . Skin colour doesnt mean everybody is like that. It has to do with were-how we grew up. Even within a small country, people from north to south, west and east have very different tendensies and even culture. Look at India for example(although its not a small country) they have like 30 langages and more than 100 dialects.....and they consider eachother as "different people" . In africa there are many nations with influences from Spain/France/German/Netherlands/Belgium/Britain/Israel/Arabia i mean its crazy for one to think "africa" is one same thing.
      Our differences is what makes us interesting, our similarities makes us familliar with eachother.

      In every paradigm of humanity. Most human beings are hard wired to base things on appearance, performance and reputation - too lazy or literally incapable of examining an idea in front of them. For example, look at the iconic meme red haired feminist with glasses, people hate her looks and her tone of voice but if anyone bothered to listen to what she had to say in that very excerpt, it is more than reasonable. In contrast, look at abuser tactics, the calm abuser is supported over the victim who is driven over the edge because they are high on emotions. This is why idiots go to political rallies and shit instead of reading the words of wise men and examining their situation quietly.
