There was this book i read one time talking about the negroid skull, and how its dimensions cannot facilitate higher thinking. Probably old racist propaganda, but maybe not. I guess were the judge of that.
It put asains almost on par with caucasain skulls, idk how that would hold up now days.




Lol what if this is true hahaha



Shut the fuck up.




A mod edit was seriously needed to cut out "shut the fuck up"?  Damn, teh pube has gotten sensitive since I left.

Thank you for clarifying.

Well I guess there is an interpretation that can be made about what is developed.  Do you need modern style manufacturing with all of its disruptions to be considered developed or is subsistence harmony equally developed?

But that is, of course, not the state of Africa.  It is a fucking mess almost everywhere.




....

And there are thriving cities like Lagos all over Africa. Even the smaller towns and villages aren't as deplorable as you believe and certainly don't reflect a whole country's state. Again, yes, hardships exist, and I doubt anything you or I have experienced comes close to what some people there have to put up with on a daily basis, but to act like an entire continent, let alone the dozens of countries that exist within it, is destitute is a joke.





There might be cities and towns like that all over Africa, but there are also cannibal warlords, child soldiers, people killing albinos for witchcraft, death sentences for homosexuals, AIDS epidemic, people raping children under the belief it will cure them of the AIDS, rape epidemics, young people calling gang rape recreational and fun, the highest rate of car theft in the world (again, South Africa), I could go on.

It's a mess.  All it takes is one turd in the punch bowl, but there, it's more like a squirt of punch in a turd bowl.

Poor leadership, an inability to unite large groups under a single nation or language in the early days.

It carried over. They fell behind too early and never had a chance once the big guns took a foothold.

They were a conglomerate of distinct societies that were constantly at war with eachother prior to the arrival of the british and spanish. While white society collectively decided they would not enslave eachother over the course of the last 800 years or so, africans were still readily open to the idea. This difference was exploited intensely to fuel the labour shortage of the new world. The flames of war were fanned constantly through slave posts. Invariably leading to whites openly considering them a race of slaves. This in turn lead to a slow and gradual take over and the installment of aparthied throughout the nation. Domination by outside forces staunched development almost entierly and prevented them from ever developimg into something that would benefit the common man. Seeing as aparthied was only lifted from the region recently its really no surprise its severely behind the rest of the developed world, and it really has nothing to due with innate racial traits.

How many years ago did they lift apartheid?  Was it only in South Africa?  What is the excuse for today's failures?

Apartheid was only in a very small part of Africa.

Excuse? These things dont blow over instantly. It was officially abolished in 1994. A decade is hardly enough time to establish a strong government and a citizenship with direction. Rome wasnt built in a day. What do you really wanna blame it on? Them being black uneducated savages? Which I know is on the tips of most you ignorant fucks tongues.

No. You learn to stop laying judgments on a complex social and historical issue you clearly have the most tenuous grasp on.

The book guns germs ans steel explains this. There is also a three parter on netflix (same name) that does as well if you dont have the time to read it. Its super interesting stuff. It will answer your question completely and in great detail.

I think you learning the difference between 10 and 20 years is the more reasonable of the two demands.  And sorr-y!  I didn't realize you had a postdoc in African Butthurt Studies.

Something there is mysteriously formed,
Existing before Heaven and Earth,
Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging,
All-pervading, unfailing,
I do not know its name; I call it tao.
If forced to give it a name, I call it
Great (ta). Being great, it flows out;
Flowing out means far-reaching;
Being far-reaching, it is said to return.


It's just a shot away..
