[N-word Adaptations] Cursed's Kang Arthur of last year: "we can only go further (...) diversity isn’t something that we should pat ourselves on the back. (...) It’s something that the world needs to come to understand… And that’s what we want to see on our screens, especially on Netflix." - Kotaku In Action 2

Africans never wrote down any of their "rich history" of killing and eating each other because they never developed a written language.

Reminded me of Vonnegut's haunting account of his trip to Baifra: http://journeytoforever.org/rrlib/biafra.html

THERE is a "Kingdom of Biafra" on some old maps which were made by early white explorers of the west coast of Africa. Nobody is now sure what that kingdom was, what its laws and arts and tools were like. No tales survive of the kings and queens.

It's a really good piece actually. The West-worshipping (also literally, as Christians) Biafrans got so fucked by both the Brits and the Soviets working together.
