Well I’ve taught students from Africa. Not African Americans, actual native Africans. In fact, these African student were from the upper classes in Africa. Their families could actually afford to help them leave Africa and study in a foreign country. I taught a couple outstanding African individuals. Probably the best writer I’ve ever had was a young yet mature African male.
However, as a group, the African students behaved differently from the other students. It was because they came from African cultures. For example, many students were often late for class. Many African cultures have a casual relationship with time. Similar to many South American cultures, being on time is not seen as being important. What’s more important is forgiving people for being late. Because most of these African students had never spent any time in a western “time is money” culture, they had trouble understanding why they should respect my request for them to be on time for classes.
Perhaps you have visited Africa or you have a really good understanding of African history including knowing things like who named Africa. Congratulations.
However your knowledge does not negate my direct experience and study. I have studied and I do teach lessons at University on cross cultural differences and I know better than most that cultural development is a very complex topic. Yes, history does have a determinative effect on culture but it is not the only factor that affects cultural development. Climate, land, agriculture, language, education, group personality characteristics, DNA, morality and other factors are very important to examine in order to understand the racial and cultural differences that exist between different peoples.
Critical race theorists and groups like BLM want to blame everything on history and existing economic & power differentials. And when that doesn’t work they simply engage in lazy, blatant racism against people who have European DNA.
List of some MAJOR differences that you think I have with you?
I never said there wasn't differences between people.
I am saying those differences are mostly superfical in nature.
So what outside of the 10 commandments and the golden rule.
Are you talking about?
And when you said they were late for class.
Compared to what?
How did they check into class?
Was there a system that kept a log of people by race?
Did you go into that system and run comparsion analysis to back up your findings?
First of all don’t accuse me of not being able to take proper attendance. About 30% of the native-African students were usually late, anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes late. Not one or two minutes, 30 fucking minutes. Students of other ethnic groups RARELY if ever came in that late (ie. Russians, Middle Easterners). Before I taught African students, I never had students coming to class more than two or three minutes late. And if a student was ever that late and I asked them why, they had a pretty good excuse like their previous class went late or they were working on an experiment.
If I asked the late African students if they had some excuse (like they were at a meeting or were sick) they never had any real excuses for being late. It was just the way it was and I had to accept it. However, I refused to start class late for them. Did I punish the late students by taking points off their grades? No I didn’t. They were punishing themselves because they were missing material that I was teaching and so they would often end up getting lower test scores.
Now I’m going to accuse you of something outrageous. It’s possible that you don’t understand the African mind because you have too much European admixture in your blood. It’s possible that your brain is more similar to a white American than it is to a pure black African. Africans that come from the sub-Saharan part of Africa have zero percent Neanderthal DNA. If you are an African-American, it’s very likely that you have Neanderthal DNA. Not only that, a lot of self-declared “African-Americans” are surprised to find that their DNA is anywhere between 10% to 50% European.
Now if you’re an African-American with religious, conservative parents and the roll of the genetic dice gave you that European influenced brain, you’re more likely to identify with traditional western values and you’re going to reject traditional African values. And that’s a good thing.
If you have a European influenced brain, you’re literally not going to be able to understand the African brain. It’s possible that comparing me the individual, to you the individual, that there are very few differences between us.
However as a society, when we pack single parent children into urban centers that lack churches we are asking for trouble.
I was there, I know how to use spreadsheets to take attendance and I notice when my class is only half full at the start. I also notice when students walk in 30 or 40 minutes late, no matter what color they are.
You just assume I’m a racist motherfucker looking to fail on my students for attendance. But I told you I didn’t take points off for attendance. But I also did not delay the start of my class. If the students were late and they missed important information, I considered it their fault.
If I was an instructor in an African university, I probably would have accepted these rich, spoiled young African people being late for my class, delayed the start of class and ended up only teaching half the material.
Rather than accept my experience of what happened, you’re gonna tell me that I I am a racist prick who doesn’t know how to do basic math, so fuck you. Conversation over dick!
Dude your sample size is too small and it’s coming from people who have their shit together. Someone who’s already a doctor or a successful businessman understands the value of time and that understanding is one of the reasons for their success.
You’re not meeting a bunch of upper class spoiled African college kids who have no respect for an education because some of those kids failed out of school and never became doctors or successful business people. Also, I never claimed that 100% of my students were late. I think it was about 30% usually. But when I think about my East Asian students, only about 1% of them were ever late.
There is also the possibility that the low grade some got in my class woke them up to the fact that they need to learn how to respect other people time requirements.
I’m not claiming that disrespect for time is a genetic trait, it is not. How people relate to time is a largely a cultural trait. Are there some extremely lazy white people who don’t respect time? Yes and they are usually failures who you or I will never meet or work with.
Genuinely, for your own sanity. Stop engaging with this tard. He takes anecdotal evidence, extrapolates it across the board. All the while recognizing the extreme difficulties of African poverty. He then goes on to STILL blame the race.
Example
He said (Not a direct quote) some of the "self selected" Africans that come over have high IQ and are productive members of society. Without some sort of mental gymnastics you can't then ALSO claim that Africans are an inferior race (at least with regards to IQ) (not to mention how IQ is not exactly a good indicator of anything relevant, and example, you don't need a high IQ to be a successful manager at a fast food joint).
You're arguing or trying to have a conversation with someone who has already made up their mind based upon their own anecdotal evidence. The fact that he's talking to a black man who can obviously read and write well would throw his whole theory out the window, but he hasn't gotten that far yet.
Sources Huh…

As I said.
Let's keep it simple.

It sounds like you have a BIAS there. Unless you recorded both white and africans students in a log. Then ran a report.
You really don't know.
Again go fuck yourself for telling me that I don’t know how to manage a class.
You can’t gaslight me motherfucker.

Did you record this information in a database? My doctor is from Africa.
When I meet with him for working on his website. He is always on time.
Other Africans I meet with for business. Are always on time.
How do you explain that?
