I have had debates on here about various issues. One of the debates was about why Africa is always in disarray.
So I talked to a guy from Nigeria and asked him why?
He looked at me and said.
It's simple of why Africa is in bad shape. He said....
Too many difference of opinions of how things should be. He said for example.
In Nigeria. There are over 500 different tribes. With various languages and cultures.
I told him my doctor was from Nigeria to. He said... What is his name.
I told him.
He goes.
Ah... an EBO man with a smile.
I said what's the smile about.
He said.. No offense to your doctor. But we DON'T TRUST EBO guys.
I said why..
He said they are shady and are money hustlers.
I said wow.
He said there are tons of African tribes that HATE EACH other.
Basically he said it's no different than DIE HARD LIBERALS fighting against DIE HARD CONVERSATIVES.
He said.. just imagine if there were 500+ political parties all with various thought processes. He said how much in fighting would there be.
He said. it has nothing to do with intelligence or anything like that.
He said it's all about ego. Such as "Our tribe" is better then your "tribe".
I thought this was interesting.
Interesting, but I would also like to see data on the average IQ in the different African countries.... I'm betting that data is well hidden these days.
Edit: Found it: https://brainstats.com/average-iq-in-nigeria.html
Average IQ in Nigeria is 84.
National IQ Scores:
https://www.photius.com/rankings/national_iq_scores_country_ranks.html
IQ is a bell curve, but explains a lot. Combination of IQ and hormones explains more than most would believe.
None of this means that any individual cannot be an exception to the rule, but the rules are the rules, generally, for mostly biological reasons.
I want to see the link between IQ and willingness to believe IQ makes the world go round. Mid-IQs have the hardest time accepting it. Most libtards and redditors are mid-IQ or slightly above average but believe they are high IQ. Racists exist at both ends of the bell curve, but not in the middle for some reason. I don’t know how you can exist on this planet and observe the world around you and not notice it.
There's a term for that, where people of lower IQ tend to underestimate other people's intelligence, and people with higher IQ tend to overestimate other people's intelligence.
Probably something to it.
Highly intelligent people also recognize that “unknown unknowns” exist.
Moderately intelligent people trust “the science” and think that we are only a few years away from understanding everything about our world. They are focused on “known unknowns”, for example fusion energy. Fusion energy production is a thing that we can’t get to work right now, but we think that we will figure it out soon. We know that we don’t fully understand it, however, we do “know” that fusion exists.
However, highly intelligent people understand that there are things that we are not even aware that we don’t know, “unknown unknowns”. Educated intelligent people understand the great number of scientific anomalies. Have you heard of the “corona heating anomaly”? Most people haven’t. For some reason, some locations in the Sun’s corona can be much much hotter than the surface of the sun. Given that solar fusion requires high pressure and that radiant heat usually becomes weaker we have no idea exactly why or how this energy is being produced. So for most people this is an “unknown unknown”.
Donald Rumsfeld was a bastard but he did give us that little nugget.
I’ve realized over the years that language is a strong indicator of the knowledge mastered by a culture and its values.
Many African tribal languages not only lack the vocabulary to describe mathematics, science, technology, law etc. but they lack words to describe abstract social concepts like duty, obligation or promises. Without the words to express numbers over 100 or negative numbers, how are you going to learn anything about math? When your language doesn’t have common words to describe duty, obligation or promises, it’s a sign that the people speaking that language don’t understand or value those concepts.
Good post.
Most people have lost the ability to look back into deep history and connect the fact that those early hominids are US.
There was no grand conspiracy to make our society patriarchal. Men went out hunted, risked their lives, provided for the females. Females brought the next generation into the world, cared for people, gathered, and held the family/community unit together.
We might think we have come far, but we are for the most part living the roles that we started with with the exception of alot of BS politics confusing the matter.
Imagine if men respected women for their contributions and women respected men for their contributions and everyone just lived the role they were best suited to fill.
Spot on.
The roles of men and women evolved due to differences in biology.
Natrually, since only women can give birth and feed with breast milk, it would make sense for them to assume that role. While they are feeding one young, they likely had many others running around, whether their own or the children of the other women in the tribe. They all worked together to look after and raise the children.
Meanwhile, there is a much different skill set needed to successfully go out into the wilderness, find wild animals, outsmart them, throw rocks, spears, and manufactured weapons to kill the animals, sometimes fighting a physical fight with the animals, avoid being bitten or clawed, and killing the animal. Then carrying or dragging the animal back to the tribe to feed everybody.
Two completely different skill sets. The men had an immediate feedback as to their skills. Either (a) their skills gave them the ability to make the kill and feed themselves and the tribe, or (b) their lack of skills made them go hungry and their tribe either went off with other men or died. They knew in short order how their ideas were working out.
OTOH, women made choices in child rearing that might not be completely known for many years. Was it a good idea to feed the kids this, or to tell them not to do that, or to scold them for such and such? We won't know for many years, when they grow up into adults and we see how they turned out.
Men had to be quiet in the bush, at times, to listen and avoid being detected. Women could jabber all day long. KEK
Today, when women want to buy something, they like to (prior to Internet and Covid) go to the mall and just "browse" whether they buy something or not -- similar to "gathering" nearby fruits off the trees.
Men ususally don't like shopping all that much, and just want to "get in, and get out" kind of like hunting (or sex and then sleep). ;-)
Our biology DICTATED our roles in life.
It was NOTHING MORE -- and NOTHING LESS -- than that.
IQ is overrated.
In reality.
When building a TEAM to do something big.
You need a variety of skillsets win.
Most of the team will need to be able to do EASY TASK that can be repeated by anyone.
This is why most successful organizations can SCALE out their model. WHY?? Because they can train ANYONE off the street to do a task.
McDonald's made a fortune. Because they were able to create a system of scale. That you can take anyone to flip burgers.
Most high IQ genius folks do not work in SALES and MARKETING to push product,
WHY?
Because the common person would not understand complicated tech talk. The common person needs things explained in SIMPLE terms.
So I am not buying that IQ means too much.
You only need a few geniues to do good.
Creativity in the most important.
Why do you think most CEO's do not know anything about technology like writing code.
But still they are leading the tech team to execute a task.
Sure, but Apple Computer is larger than McDonald's and built much more quickly. Different skill set.
Their skill set is in obtaining and directing resources, strategy, capital raising, and motivation. They don't need to know how to write code or flip burgers. Different job, different skill set.
Not really. The CEO is leading upper management, only part of which is leading the tech team. The rest of upper management is leading sales, marketing, finance, legal, and a host of other departments within the entire organization.
IQ is not "be all, end all." I will agree with you on that. But it is also not irrelevant. It is highly relevant at the macro level.
IQ is a stupid FINITE number that doesn't make logical sense to use.
Here is why.
IF I took the IQ test and it said I am an idiot.
IF I got the answers to the test and someone explained to me why I got the problems wrong.
I can CORRECT my wrong answers and learn the material.
That's the problem with testing.
People brain's are very similar to AI technology.
AI is designed to fail over and over again. And make corrections based off of mistakes.
For Example: The Auto Driving Vechiles that Google made. Did make some mistakes and causes crashes.
This is how they improved the AI. By making those mistakes and correcting them.
I am a software engineer.
First versions of an app is always BAD and has bugs.
Over time the app gets better as we correct the mistakes.
You cannot use a test to figure out people. Because people are not STATIC entities. We are DYNAMIC entities that change and grow via experiences.
A finite IQ number is nothing more than a HIGHER ED Academic's way of saying they can figure people out.
I am 42 years old.
I was a lazy C student in high school.
My intelligence has increased 100 fold since college.
WHY???
Because I care now. I didn't care before.
What I would like to see with the IQ test.
I would like to make it like real life. Give someone the test. Tutor them on what they miss. See can they improve.
If the I.Q. test said that you were an idiot (I.Q. <= 70), you would not be able to UNDERSTAND why your answers were incorrect.
When I was growing up, the severely mentally deficient were placed in "special education" classrooms in primary school. They were segregated for good reason. Even though they were mostly placid, they were about as conscious as a cat or a dog. It is a hideous impairment, and we should not blithely imagine it to be correctable.
Someone from the standpoint of I.Q. = 140 sees it similarly: The vast majority near I.Q. = 100 will never be able to "learn" how to be more intelligent. It's like height in a basketball game. Most of us think we are smarter than we are, just as the posting said. Maybe because as we happen to be smarter, we have a hard time understanding how it is possible to be not so smart. And so we use words to disparage people for being crippled---which is what it amounts to.
I learned this a long time ago: Whatever I.Q. I can claim above 100, there is someone out there that has a corresponding deficit. I have my brilliance at the cost of their dullness, because the distribution function is symmetrical. That's the way it works. And if it is a blessing, it is because the brilliant are able to produce more of more-lasting good, to benefit all. But it is of no use if the brilliant think of their brilliance as an advantage over others, to more successfully manipulate them. This is evil.
You don't win any arguments over I.Q. It doesn't change anything, except possibly your own heart. We have the ability to aid our fellow men with patience and explanation and encouragement. (It even works with animals.) Given why this site is even in existence, we have little cause to look down our nose at any other people who have strife in their lives.
I disagree.
Please learn in various ways. You cannot use a static number to tell the story of people.
Wow, great story! You are 100% right.
IQ tests are overrated
Lady pede here, I dropped out of school at 16. Was homeless for several years. Lived under a pier for a while.
Didn't go to college (until my 40s).
At 19 I got my stuff together and learned a skill.
Now I have a successful business life I would never have dreamed possible and I DID IT ALL MYSELF.
It is about seeing what you want to do in life and NEVER letting anything get in your way.
IMO, an IQ test is nothing more than an evaluation of a person's abstract thinking aptitude. I think that's why they do it at a fairly young age.
Some people think in more concrete terms but have little abstract thinking aptitude. Those people can do well in life, but lacking an ability for abstract thinking is a hinderance, and for a society as a whole is a very bad thing.
Leftists tend to be these types of people, from what I see.
I understand it's purpose.
I just think using a static number is a bad idea. I am learning how to draw right now.
It's a lot to it. Especially understanding how to draw 3D objects in a 2D piece of paper.
What my instructions are telling us to do. Is to fail fast and fail often.
It's the only way you are going to get better at this.
IQ seems to be a "Trophy" number for the most part. It's for people who like to FEEL superior then others.
Whenever it is mention. That's the context I see it in. Which tells me. It doesn't have much value in the real world.
Surely, you are not claiming that different people don't have different abilities in abstract thinking, are you? That would be absurd. We all have different abilities in everything -- throwing a football, art, speaking skills, whatever.
We also have different abilities for abstract thinking. Abstract thinking is what turns ideas into concrete things in the real world. It is the basis of all laws. It is the basis of all scientific understanding by way of the Scientific Method. It is the way roads are built, and the way farmers decide which crops to plant or which animals to raise.
It is an ability that goes into all aspects of life. It is likely the main reason why corporate CEO's become corporate CEO's rather than stay experts in a limited skill set, such as flipping burgers or writing computer code.
Since people have different abilities in this skill, it is only natural that we would attempt to quantify it in some way, just as we do for everything else (such as the grades you got in school to quantify your comprehension of material, and nothing more).
If we are going to quantify it, then a number to represent that ability makes a lot of sense. Maybe there is a better way, but I see no reason why anything else would be a better way to evaluate the skill.
Hey, I don't like the fact that Tom Brady can throw a football better than I can. But ...
So what?
low IQ man tells you to believe that low IQ men aren't responsible for low IQ society. Low IQ if you believe.
Compared to most sub-Saharan African nations, Nigeria is full of geniuses.
The smartest ones migrate to western countries.
What does IQ have to do with it lol.
You must be low IQ dude. Can you not see how having this many tribes is the main problem?
This IQ is NOT proving black people are stupid.This is AVERAGE IQ. What means IQ of population being STATISTICALLY lower ? Lower intellectual potential of the society.What means lower potential for society development. Means they are poorer and they would stay poorer... Also lower AVERAGE IQ means they would be more easy victim of manipulation,for being robbed and exploited. That there would be less scientists and entrepreneurs to push they economy,culture and society forward...
Even with proper education their population would achieve worse results if they would be isolated. And education in such African countries is not so good. If it is even existing there.
It’s not IQ. But you can keep telling yourself that.
I repeat man: AVERAGE one. Where tribalism is still existing ? And now verify AVERAGE IQ in those populations...
Societies with bigger potentials - asian and white especially advanced from tribalism.Through violent conquer of course,but achieved that. Less geniuses,less chances to improve. That is why central Africa stayed with tribalism and shit huts.
I am NOT saying black people are idiots.Absolutely not. 20 points difference in IQ is big but not so big between people. It is maybe near the difference between Joe from IT and Jack using forklift in warehouse.(For example,because it isn't such thing that more intelligent people always have better jobs). But if you have to compare society where there are usually people like Joe to society where there are usually people like Jack... You got it ? That's problem.
PS: Of course higher IQ don't make any man better man. Not make people genius.IQ is only intelectual POTENTIAL.
To those not understanding: there are people like Terrence Tao and people like Marilyn vos Savant (Marilyn Mach).Similar IQs,different outcomes.
IQ doesn't mean shit man.
I am an enterpreneur.
MOST people on your team will not be high IQ geniuses.
You need most people to be able to do task base work.
All complicated formulas are done by tools.
If tools are available and people know how to use it.But at the beginning of doing things on your own you wouldn't have all the tools...
Of course you wouldn’t have all the tools.
I think in order to understand if IQ is important. You would need to establish what type of job we would need someone to do and why:
To say that the reason why a group fails is because of low IQ. That doesn’t make sense:
If you watch shows like the profit.
If you look at most business ventures. Most of them fail and blow money:
We just can’t say. Well the reason why you failed is because your IQ wasn’t good enough:
My point is.
In Africa.
We can’t say it’s IQ. When there are so many cultures that live with each other.
An IQ test isn’t a mandatory thing in Africa: So to use an average stat doesn’t make sense.
When in reality. Would bet that the majority of people who live in Africa/
Have never taken the IQ teat in the first place. It’s not a requirement.
Just like the majority of blacks in America. Have never taken it as well.
Nor care to.
My opinion, and it’s not worth much I’m just a prol bottom dweller, is that high IQ and genius should be separated. Genius is the ability to adapt and solve problems. High IQ would be the retention of information stored or the amount absorbed, retained and ability to administer into an application. Genius is a very useful and practical quality. High IQ alone, normally seems to lack a discernment and understanding to adapt and respond to critical analysis within practical problem solving outside of retained information, and usually seems to be boxed in and limited to the absorbed information that has been retained. High IQ is a negative if it is not accompanied by genius. Hence why we have so many educated and high IQ fools. But so goes the mystery of life. Next conversation what is the difference between knowledge and wisdom?
BOOM!!!! THIS IS TOTALLY ON POINT!!!!!!!!
AWESOME POST!!!!
I could explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you. Lower IQ people are simply more prone to violence and dysfunctional behavior. And my own IQ is a triple digit number, Skippy.
So once again.
You don’t think having 500 different tribes with different languages don’t matter???
You don’t think EGO plays a role in our various groups of people I interact with each other?
What is your IQ?
Asians are known to be smart . South Korea and North Korea do not like each other .
Having 500 tribes with different languages likely matters a great deal, but it's probably not be the biggest issue standing in the way of Africa's success.
Africa has many countries full of people with an average IQ of around 60 to 80. In more successful regions, the average IQ is around 100-107. The gap is so wide that Western countries consider people with IQs of 60 to 80 to be mentally disabled and in need of special care and supervision. They are considered to have the mental ability of 8 to 10-year-olds. They have problems with comprehension, memory, language, abstract concepts, social cues, planning, logic, and more.
Individuals are unique and of course there are high and low-IQ individuals in every nation. But the idea that significantly lower average IQ by nation plays no role in Africa's issues is harmful. You can't solve problems when you can't even acknowledge what's contributing to them.
Where are these IQ test to all Africans? Is it a government mandatory test?
In high school it was tested at 124.
Then you should know. When building a TEAM to do something successful.
Most of the team need to be able to follow BASIC orders.
It is kind of interesting how the psychos that run the world seem to despise black people, but they also fun BLM and get Hollywood and the fashion industry to push this idea that everybody that is not white is awesome.
History: The KKK was the enforcement arm of the Democrat party.
Hillary's hero, Margaret Sanger the founder of planned parenthood wanted to focus on reducing undesirables in the gene pool, clearly targeted black neighborhoods
I didn't believe it in the past, but I believe it now - that Clowns have been deep into the drug trade and focusing on urban areas. At first dumping the drugs for cheap.
Democrats and RINOs eagerly doing things like giving welfare to mothers but only if there is no father in the house. Destroying families.
Pushing thug culture in the music industry, going along with their drug trade.
So I wouldn't be one bit surprised if the psychopaths have been involved with Africa since day trying to manipulate groups into hatred and division so that they can't succeed.
I agree.
The deep state loves dividing people.
I agree.
They use that base culture to destroy people's self confidence and sense of community.
I am not saying that the 50s were perfect, but the country was much more cohesive and community focused.
I checked out many of the company web sites (NGOs, etc) that are participating in the "reset" and those that had pictures of their leadership tells you all you need to know about where black and brown people fit into the plan. NO WHERE.
Nothing to do with intelligence. The 66 IQ racial average is entirely incidental.
So he told you basically what is becoming painfully obvious to many Americans. Diversity is not the road to strength but the road to ruin.
Do you ever wonder why (((they))) opened the flood gates for the hordes of third world shithole inhabitants to immigrate to America with their 1965 immigration law? (((Emanuel Cellar))) and his buddy Phillip Hart did that in the name of not being so racist as to only allow people like those that conquered and settled this country to immigrate.
Ever wonder why old racist LBJ signed that law into existence? Maybe Emanuel's bosses had the evidence of his connection to the JFK killing? Ever wonder why the seat was so hot on his ass that he didn't run again?
In my view.
Color isn’t an issue in America. I am black. But I speak English and don’t have some tribal culture that I was born into.
The black culture in America is not a culture. It’s actually POP CULTURE that now you have white lids apart of it as well.
Pop culture is the problem in America. Think about it.
How much money are we spending on entertainment!!
When people say they are busy. A lot of their time is busy entertaining themselves.
That’s the problem with America. Pop culture is the American Culture.
We listen to celebrities over own family. We listen to higher Ed PHDs over own family.
This is what has led to the decline of America.
It’s not a racial thing in my view.
I won't say your observation is not part of the problem, but blacks in America have been lead to blame whites for all their problems that hatred is raising its ugly head all across America in the violence toward whites. This was purposely done. It was one of the reasons Obama was installed instead of Hillary. He could play the race card he could further divide the nation, and he did just that.
More than half of your people still worship that deep state shit of shit like he was God. The division he caused with this demonization of whites and of the police in particular will take decades to heal. If your people don't get over playing the victim and demonizing my people it may never heal, and if it doesn't it won't end well. So my opinion stands. Diversity is not a strength. It is a weapon used against all western nations.
YES!
Blacks have been lead to blame white people from other white people man.
POP CULTURE white celebrities. Always say the black man is oppressed.
You seem to be one of those OBSERVATIONAL types. That THINK you are right by looking outside in.
Agreed. I think as well that most people don’t realize the subliminal mind washing and conditioning they are receiving from that entertainment. Entertainment and pop culture are designed to feed into Self indulgence and narcissism which creates complacency and a distraction from the more important things in life. I.e personal integrity and family. I believe there are more sinister intentions behind pop culture and entertainment which include division and the intentional decay of our society
Truth. I agree with that 100%.
Does put the DS promoting identity politics and the tribalism that always go with it into a whole new light......
Ask yourself this question. Why did (((they))) choose to destroy the two most successful countries in Africa, Zimbabwe & South Africa? Who made those two the most successful.
Who are (((they))) destroying with muslim immigration in Europe? Who are (((they))) demonizing and destroying in the US? All over the western world? You damned straight Skippy. The one people smart enough to see their plan and organize to stop them is under attack and has been under attack for at least a hundred years.
How can you organze with you have 500 different tribes that don't see eye to eye on things?
Even if you have everyone who is a genius. That still wouldn't work. People would fight of who is the smartest in the room.
In order to work as a team. You need STRUCTURE.
Most of the people that work in the team aren't the super smart people. They are the FOLLOWERS and TASK DOERS that take orders from the smart people.
Think about Walmart for example. Most of their employees aren't some genius types.
Most of them do basic task.
When you say organize to stop them.
There are STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES and TACTIAL OBJECTIVES.
Ok..
If you have 500 different tribes with different languages.
Please tell me which tribe's langauge will become the dominate one to lead? How would 500 different tribes.
Form a STRATEGIC team in order to work together? When they speak different languages?
Agreed
He probably should add that the cabal and their meddling doesn't help...RE: Bill Gates (vax), the Clintons (trafficking), etc.
It is interesting to study the sociology behind cultures and how we get to today. STUDY HISTORY.. it explains a lot more than modern standards would account for.. Culture and nurture matter in forming these attitudes. Not born with that sort of attitude of division.
You get tribes when groups of people are isolated due to geography. They develop differences, which can develop into something serious enough to fight over.
Example: People here in eastern NC think the pork barbecue in western NC is crap and would never eat it. And the people in the western part of the state think the same of eastern NC barbecue. Of course I "know" eastern NC barbecue is the best in the world.
Good analogy
They say herding populations develop more tribalism than farming populations, because of competition vs. cooperation. I'm not sure how that relates to NC barbecue though.
I'm into genealogy, and one huge difference between eastern NC and central to western NC is that eastern NC is mostly of English descent, and the rest of the state has more German ancestry. There is a lot of mixture, but there are still many thousands of families that haven't moved in hundreds of years.
what's an EBO guy?
EBO is a tribe or ethnicity in Nigeria. It’s my impression that they’re one of the larger wealthier tribes.
oh ok thanks fren :)
I know little about the tribes in Africa beyond the mandinkas, and afaik they're just from TV. I would like to have heard what that dude's perspective was on why they still practice slavery in Africa.
The same reason it's practiced everywhere else in the world, including here in the US: money.
Tribalism
Sorry to say this but it is about IQ, education and literacy.
People with lower intelligence are more likely to seek security via group membership. Thus tribalism is still the norm in Africa.
Additionally, the rule of law is also weakened when people are unable to read well enough to write up, read and follow contractual agreements. In Western societies, where most people can understand and follow contractual agreements, that helps them to increase their circle of trust to include more than just their family, friends and neighbors. That means that as an American you can travel to a far away American city seeking employment or engage in trade with people there without expectation of being cheated just because you’re an outsider.
In traditional African tribal villages, if you have a conflict with someone you go to the chief and he resolves it. Once that conflict goes outside of the village, no one chief can resolve it and now you’ve got tribe to tribe conflict. In the past, this may have led to war but in the present what it leads to is lack of trust, reduced interaction and a reduction in trade with outside tribes.
In societies that have narrow circles of trust, dependable economic growth becomes more difficult.
Finally, without a strong national education system tribal languages maintain their hold and make it more difficult to interact and trade with people in a village who may just be a few miles away from your village. Sadly but smartly the Chinese government realized years ago that it needed to promote a national language in order to facilitate economic development and interaction within China itself.
I do f know anyone that has taken an IQ test. It’s a worthless score.
I don’t know why you keep holding onto it. I suggest you read some personal development books.
A book called Psycho Cybernetics is something you should read.
To operate In that world normally. You aren’t going to need complicated physics or math.
Knowing the basics is useful in most part of life.
The reason why Africa is in such bad shape. As I said.
When you have that many languages and cultures. You are going to get infighting.
How many people do you know. That knows their IQ score?
A person with a decent enough IQ of 85 who grows up in America is able to experience the American education system where they can usually learn to read and write English. They have little appreciation for what it means to grow up in a small African village, speaking a tribal language that lacks vocabulary for math, science, technology, ethics and law.
Most westerners also don’t appreciate what it means to be in a workplace where most of the other people present are sub-literate and can neither read nor write English or their own tribal language.
If your brain is the hardware then the language you learn is the software for cognition. People in Africa are not just lacking the hardware (IQ), many of them are lacking the software for cognition. This lack of cognition doesn’t just relate to academic abilities, it is also related to a persons’s ability to describe, support and develop high trust social relationships outside the tribe. That’s a serious problem.
Most Americans have a kind of reverse Dunning-Kruger. They don’t understand how good they really have it in terms of language, economic environment and education.
Good perspective, thank you
In over-simple terms, people like Cecil Rhodes and hoards of Imperialists (Globalists) sowing discontent and division, while they plundered the People's wealth contining today,
might be an influencing factor.
That's what I assume.
I asked him how did so many tribes come to be. He believes that it was both inside and outside influences that caused this.
He agreed. That there are way too many different tribes in Africa. He said that's what killing and fighting happens over there.
He said the HATE for certain tribes is real.
That if they dated someone from certain tribes. Their familes would disown them.
There was another guy with him from Nigeria as well. He said the same thing.
They don't like certain tribes. And if they saw them out.
That would ignore them and not even talk with them.
I don't think the PTB divide them.
I think the continent has always been that way.
That explains why Africans sold other Africans during the slave trade. They did not see another tribe as being human. Just read the history of the Rwanda Genocide. It is horrible. There are more and more examples of the same behavior throughout the continent's history.
Diversity doesn't even work there it seems.
