Wrong. Native Africans have a culture that does not recognize being on time and the idea that if you have any item you must share with relatives.

Have you, ever in your life, met an African?

Not an "African-American", an African? I know a few. I know one guy from Ethopia, he's legit one of the best engineers I've ever known. I was sent off to France to help implement a system he setup and created based entirely on specifications that he couldn't test or use which during the week I was there, not a single bug was found or encountered. I don't think I could have done that.

Absolutely nothing was tested in his code, and it all worked.

You simply don't understand what the US and the West has been doing to Africa for decades. China builds crap infrastructure, they don't hire Africans to do the work either, the West imports commodities like cocoa beans, but won't import chocolate from the nation. They prop up dictators and foment revolutions. That continent is fucked, but they will, in time, get out of it. They're being forced to.

As for that aspirin factory that was blown up, that was done by Clinton to distract from the Lewinski affair (along with missile attack in Afghanistan), not because some entrepreneur decided to build a factory in Africa.

it was done for dual reasons. Why do you think that particular plant was picked?

It was the ONLY pharmaceutical plant that made drugs to prevent malaria and it was just completed.

Have you, ever in your life, met an African?

Quite a few, actually. I went to pilot training with Nigerian officers sent over here to train, one of my nieces married a guy from Benin, I knew a cab driver that was over here driving a cab while getting his medical degree at ODU, I knew another cab driver who was an Ethiopian immigrant, plus I knew several more cab drivers from Samalia who drove for a Minneapolis cab company. One of our mechanics at the cab company was from Ghana. Knowing a few exceptional folks that emigrated from Africa says nothing about the general cultures they left.

Yo FBI! Here, fixed it for you!

Yup, Elon's "commitment" to free speech is bogus, just talk.

There's still legacy 'deep state' shit in X.

He's acknowledged that.

In this case, I bet it was a bunch of libs who hit the 'report'* button and this automatically happened.

Elon Musk is a government welfare whore, that's how he made his money, from taxpayer subsidies. Space X is a weapons project, not a civilian one, military.

I believe he was told to purchase Twitter to get it to regain its credibility and he's been successful at that. "Oh sure, there's SOME still bad actors in Twitter, but it's better than Facebook or Google!".

There's plenty of sites with none of this bullshit.

I don't mind people still using YouTube, Twitter and Facebook, but post elsewhere as well, idiots. If you depend on any of the big 3 to get information or disseminate it, it will slowly be turned off and if you're a dummy being censored you'll be asking "what rules did I break?" and begging the company to review "their" decision. The rule is, push propaganda, and don't upset the propaganda.

You can talk about obvious things on Twitter, like the bullshit vaccine, but try to talk about Gaza. Point out that Israel is lying repeatedly about things, like the 40 beheaded babies. Try to point out that the IDF has the Hannibal directive and what that is, and that they killed Israelis instead of letting them become hostages. Inform people that the IDF used poison gas in the tunnels, and poisoned one of the hostages, killing him, that's Ron Sherman. Try talking about that.

People think Twitter is pro-free speech because they aren't on sites that actually have free speech and they are too goddamned lazy and stupid to try to find them. I've posted them before, nobody cares.

ForcedTQ says

So are they going to identify and remove from the reparations pool any black people with Slave trader heritage? Inquiring minds want to know.

They aren't going to do it at all. Why do people worry about these things?

Joe Biden promised student debt relief for everybody - didn't happen. Joe Biden promised $2,000 covid checks after the midterms, didn't happen. California was talking about 5 million dollars per person for reparations - didn't happen.

Every few years, the government makes a bunch of empty promises. Want people to stop voting democrat? Remember what empty promises they made and start asking the liberals why they didn't get it.

They'll only grant things that cost nothing. Gay marriage didn't cost anything.

The #1 way I get suspended or visibility limits from Twitter is still genderbending crap. I don't think anything non-genderbending has gotten me suspended since Elon took over.

Dune 2...

I would say 'Go Woke, Go Broke' but the film is doing well at the box office despite the editing cut mess it shares with the original 1984 film. Only the SyFy six hour miniseries released on 2000 does the story any justice.

Music, action scenes and effects are good. And apparently there will be a Part 3.

But woke deviations from the story, aforementioned editing and poor casting (I like Christopher Walken but this was a terrible role for him and Florence Pugh deserved better...but she's white, so..) certainly sucked.

Pugh should have been cast as Chani.

You realize, all this bullshit is created for propaganda purposes, right? Nobody buys these books. They are created, an "organization" of some sort buys them - probably in electronic form today to reduce costs, and the few physical books are sent to libraries and handed out.

Hillary Clinton kept writing books that supposedly sold well, but when she and Bill went on a speaking tour, they weren't able to get 100 people to show up. They cancelled. I don't even know if the authors know how unpopular and irrelevant they really are.

Does not mater since the book advance was a laundered bribe.

People write all sorts of bullshit believing they are right. It may be they get rewarded when they are wrong in a way that the establishment likes.

Re-reading Grant's American Nomad. Nigger comes from the word niggur, a term coined by Appalachian Scotch-Irish. It roughly means a bad-ass, rough neck, scoundrel. Ethnicity doesn't matter for shit in the application, never did until the early 20th century. Redneck original meaning was someone who was fervent about a particular religion. Forget the real meaning of cracker, but also not an ethnic slur. So the racists, are the people who insist those words only apply to certain ethnic groups.

Agree. I have no issue using nigger in conversation with friends I know, black, brown or white. Fact is it's just a word. If you take offense grow up. No different than saying gay in front of the few gay friends I have. Well that was gay? Who cares? Or when women get "offended" by the word cunt. Is bitch or ass hole any better?

I don't get why people get so offended over words. It's really weird if you think about it. They're soft cunt fucking niggers... lol. Note I do try to avoid it around kids. Though my black nephew did get in trouble on the bus for calling another white kid/friend nigger..... I really don't get how that's a problem. Just a word.

Remember how normal it was to see a White Guy in some ZZTop video get with all the chicks. Even if he was a regular dude?

Much less some action movie where the White Male hero beats up the bad guy and at the party there's Chicks all over him? Or at least one hot chick?

That doesn't exist anymore in Media.

If the Hero does get with a chick, she's just as 'heroic' as him and their relationship is "complex" and even a little deferential on the man's part.

We now live in an age where "Baby it's called outside" is Rapey and banned but "W.A.P." is on conventional terrestrial radio and in the Award Shows nobody watches.

The Message (tm) is everywhere.

That's how I take it.

That's why I show my kids older movies. Even the "Last Dragon" is more normal than any shit today, and not least most of the Supie Hewo bullshit.

I want them to learn if they practice Kung Fu, they can beat the Shogun of Harlem. Not that they are born with special supie snowflake powers they had no role in obtaining, or because they lucked into the MacGuffin of mystery, be it a magic potion or high tech suit or whatever.

While I don't admire the CCP, I do understand and appreciate why they've imposed sweeping regulations on media to remove positive references to single moms, unmarried single women (except as a YOUNG love interest), and LGBTQ123+ romance, and insist that the bulk of television and movies portray men in a heroic role who are rewarded for discipline and virtue.

What I don't understand is what is the monetary motive of pushing "the message"?

It's possible that all this is to get people to go online more, and drop film and television. Television is not watched by the young. It's possible they are purposely killing television and film to herd everybody onto an online system where everything you see and do on it, is trivially monitored.

Racist for whites to breed. (Although the second daughter from the left got daddy's looks. Feel sorry for here.)

Definitely racist for mom to pop out babies like she's a black welfare queen. Colonizer!
