ParticipantI can see why you are not comfortable writing about this. But since the Global South is part of the global village, there is no escape addressing this subject, in my opinion.
Since I was born in Tanganyika (now Tanzania), and went to university in Nairobi, Kenya, I can say with confidence, based on my interactions with my African classmates, that there is no difference in intelligence or compassion between Africans and other races, at the level of the educated class.
But unlike, say, India, where you have more than a 100 languages, and thousands of dialects, but people generally get along, in Africa, when I travelled inland from Dar-es-Salaam, with an African colleague, to a village a few kilometers away, the locals were unfriendly to my colleague, because he was from another tribe. The differences in looks and languages can be quite pronounced. And the animosity between tribes can lead to deadly confrontations, as is ongoing between the Tutsis and Hutus in Rwanda, where tens of thousands have been butchered.
In Nairobi, my Kikuyu classmates would openly taunt the Jaluo guys for their brown complexion, while the Kikuyu were pitch black, and proud of their martial heritage. And died probably in the thousands fighting the British.
Is there hope for Africa? Of course, but I expect it will take time and patience, with continuing exposure to the outside world. And yes, including tough actions such as Trump is implementing. And Musk is well aware of the actions of the Africans you showcased in your clips, since he was born in Pretoria.ParticipantJust had time to watch about a quarter of the interview with Ernst, will catch up later. It’s been quite distressing to listen to this. I have also watched the clips you posted earlier, Amarynth, where a whole stadium full of people are exhorted to exterminate the “whites”.
Having seen so-called whites kill whites by the tens of millions, including about 27 million Russians in WW2, a few million Jews, and Ukrainians are now being openly encouraged to kill Russians, and you can’t even tell them apart, I hesitate to ascribe this to some sort of black genetic defect.
Emigration seems the only immediate solution, to places such as Russia or Canada, where their farming skills would be appreciated.ParticipantI too think it was a metaphorical comment, Amarynth.
Participantimagine we all think this, AFTER 1 – 1,500,000 UkroNazis were murdered at Russian hands, on behalf of the former Shining City on the Hill. This is the same as threatening Gaza with hell. What days
“murdered” seems a little harsh.
murder: the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse.ParticipantI must second that Wow! I have never known Col. Wilkerson being prone to hyperbole. So this does seem serious.
ParticipantWell said, AHH! I must admit, talking about intricate details of nutrition, in a world where Palestinian children are literally starving to death in Gaza, does not look good.
With even the mainstream media now reporting this, I am afraid, in the logic of karma, the whole world is now in debt.ParticipantThanks, AHH. In my opinion, this is information of vital concern to everyone. But for vegetarians, living in a northern clime, darker skin, the need is more crucial.
I wonder how the Tibetan Buddhist monks living in the high plateau, ostensibly vegetarian, managed to stay so healthy.ParticipantBy the way, AHH, I see the good doctors mention Calcifediol, as opposed to Cholecalciferol. This is all Greek to me (or is it Latin?). I wonder how one goes about getting the former, or do you think there is any benefit to it?

ParticipantJust saw the old timer comedian you posted, Amarynth. Priceless!
ParticipantWell, Kash is in.
Hope to see some heads roll.
ParticipantThanks for the regular updates, AHH.
Not having any training in economics, I am puzzled by this comment from the South African minister:
If they don’t give us money let’s not give them minerals,” South Africa’s Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe said..
The Americans just print the money out of thin air, so why can’t the South Africans do the same? Having read many of Colin’s comments, I am starting to believe this subject is the king of all subjects. Rothschild’s famous “Give me control over a nation’s currency, and I care not who makes its laws” is starting to take on a chilling meaning. I sense the tide may be turning, though.
ParticipantWell, politics does make for strange bedfellows, but you can’t just throw the baby out with the bathwater (pardon the excessive proverbialization).
As of now, I do believe AfD is the best alternative for Germany, because of their position on Ukraine, as well as policies that are focused on the well-being of their own people. Musk’s support should not disqualify them, in my opinion. Just as his and Trump’s support for RFK Jr. is to be lauded. And revelations such as “…USAID, using YOUR tax dollars, funded bioweapon research, including COVID-19.”
In the video Mr P posted, I see the grandmas marching against the “right”, in front of the Reichstag – boy, that rings a bell. On a “cold day” at about 0 deg. C. Which in Canada, just having had -20C, is like a heat wave! Seems like the usual gaslighting.
When it comes to trade, I don’t think it has dawned on the US that it is a double edged sword. This is from our (Canadian) Transport and Internal Trade Minister Anita Anand (emphasis mine):
“If pushed, our response will be the single largest trade blow the U.S. economy has ever endured, given that Canada is America’s largest export market — larger than China, Japan, the U.K. and France combined,”
