There is an organized, internal based -wiki attack by ideologues to vandalize this article with removing pertinent facts on the history of the chair. I don't think a person saying "gunpowder was invented in China and didn't reach Europe until the Mongols brought it" is racist which is saying the same true thing on the "History of the chair" in case this is; it is unable to make the events any less factual. Please be advised. ExpertPrime (talk) 22:54, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Now some Wikipedia editors even are saying facts are racist because they are woke activists. We are an encyclopedia, not a wokepedia. Woke mind virus infected wikipedia so the facts about chairs and Sub-saharan Africa can't be said. So sad 79.54.131.192 (talk) 12:19, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
It seems like they are very uncomfortable with the fact that chairs were invented by Africans. ... discospinster talk 16:38, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Here's a quote from the Wiki page to enrich your underdeveloped black supremacist prefrontal cortex "In Sub-Saharan Africa, chairs were not in use before introduction by Europeans." Yyg850c (talk) 21:55, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Chairs were invented in Ancient Egypt, by Africans. ... discospinster talk 22:34, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Please refer to the "Sub-Saharan Africa" phrase, and pay close attention to the region where Egypt is located on the continent. That should clear it up for you. 97.66.209.126 (talk) 22:45, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
I didn't even say anything about Sub-Saharan Africa. ... discospinster talk 22:54, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
And that's precisely the problem. You responded to a comment that specified the Sub-Saharan African region, and then inserted your irrelevant comment regarding the region of Egypt, which is not Sub-Saharan. You're confusing two regions of the continent that have completely different histories, demographics, cultures, and geographies. Hence my attempt to help you clarify that. 97.66.209.126 (talk) 23:13, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
The comment I responded to also did not mention Sub-Saharan Africa. ... discospinster talk 23:37, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
You're kidding, right? It's literally a few comments above, by user Yyg850c. It literally contains the phrase "Sub-Saharan Africa" and then you responded to it, which was the comment I then responded to, to help correct your confusion. So yes, the comment you responded to very literally mentioned "Sub-Saharan Africa" explicitly. But honestly, that's beside the point. The more important point, is that you understand the vast differences between Egypt and Sub-Saharan Africa. 97.66.209.126 (talk) 00:05, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
In Wikipedia talk pages, like many other discussion boards, responses are indicated by indentation. If you look at my initial response you will see that I was responding to ExpertPrime above. ... discospinster talk 00:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Did I say it was your initial response? No. Did you respond to a comment by Yyg850c? Yes. Did I point out the response order I was addressing? Yes. Did Yyg850c mention Sub-Saharan Africa? Yes. Did you respond to Yyg850c's comment? Yes. I then responded to your response and this is the resulting conversation. If you can't follow the logical path of a discussion, then your reading comprehension needs work. I shouldn't have to hold your hand and guide you like this. But as I said before ... "honestly, that's beside the point. The more important point, is that you understand the vast differences between Egypt and Sub-Saharan Africa." 97.66.209.126 (talk) 00:21, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Yyg850c made a non-sequitur comment and I was trying to get the conversation back on track. I'm sorry if that caused confusion. I'll not respond anymore since it seems to put you more and more out to sea. ... discospinster talk 00:26, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Trying to "get the conversation back on track" by confusing Egypt and Sub-Saharan Africa? lol, sure, makes perfect sense. In case you didn't notice, the discussion is in the context of Sub-Saharan Africa, not Egypt. You're the one who replied with a non-sequitur by bringing Egypt into a discussion about Sub-Saharan Africa in your reply to Yyg850c's comment which clearly mentioned Sub-Saharan Africa in keeping with the context. I get it though ... in your eyes, you can't possibly be wrong, facts be damned. Oh well...

That's an entirely unsubstantiated and fictional claim. I haven't seen one single "talking point" related to National Socialists and the history of the chair. I'm lost how such a nonsensical, incorrect assertion was formulated? Was this statement from another conversation that was accidentally posted here? There's no need to pretend Africans invented chairs, or pretend that Europeans didn't introduce the modern concept of chair design (true chairs as opposed to rudimentary proto-chairs), nor to go full Chicken Little and pretend the imaginary bogeymen "neonazis" are attacking the page. This just makes Wikipedia look like it's being run by a bunch of ignorant, hyperbolic, unstable & hormonal teens. Let's do better. 97.66.209.126 (talk) 22:39, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
No we don't need to pretend anything, we need to rely on sources, none of which in the article supports the claim that "In Sub-Saharan Africa, chairs were not in use before introduction by Europeans." ... discospinster talk 22:57, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
I don't know why this issue is so contentious. It's not racist to point out that some cultures developed certain technologies and others didn't. The Aztecs, Incans, and Mayans didn't develop wheeled carts. Other cultures didn't start domesticating horses until they saw the people of the Eurasian Steppes doing it. The Chinese were the ones to invent black powder. Africans didn't use seats with backs until the Portuguese introduced chairs to them. NecroFamiliar (talk) 04:58, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

How about "... it's being run by a bunch of belligerent, malicious, lying, deceptive, destructive, marxist, psychopathic, emotionally-stunted, juvenile idiots. ..." instead?
"We wuz chairs" gets me lol

Right!
All your chairz are belong to us.
DiscoSpinster is hilariously stupid beyond all measure.
What if it's two AI's in a bitter argument? Or worse yet, one schizophrenic AI arguing with itself.

🪑 chairs are an example of white supremacy.
Using a chair is a dogwhistle for white supremacist's. 👌🥛
Yo look up discospinster, the woke idiot on that thread, on instagram and you will realize they this dork writing looks exactly as you think it would.

Why do people keep fighting over these unproductive debates?
I am in the who cares crowd.
