I found the name of it by the way, because it was bugging me. Its called Things Fall Apart. And I also reread the synopsis to refresh my memory. It was definitely a curious read, but your average SJW type would be horrified by it. You want some real toxic masculinity? How does three wives and thinking that you have to always fight when challenged (and refusing to fight makes you a coward and therefore dishonorable) sound? But obviously, that is how it is over there with the actual culture of a location, rather than the Leftist demand for the Universal Man.
Not only that. I remember seeing some training videos that were shown to US soldiers going over to the UK during the war where it was an older British woman inviting a black soldier over for tea, and the white soldier had to explain to the audience "You may not like it, but that is how it is over there."
And when you look at African-American troops in WW1 (like the Harlem Hellfighters), the reason they always have French gear is because the Americans army refused to equip them.
But all white people are totally the same, and every white country has had the same race relations that the US has. And the US was totally universal in its race relations as well, so we must hold everyone to the same standard.
Yup, that's it.
I like the part where they were like, "You can beat your wife, but only for so long, and as a disciplinary measure. Sure, if she didn't make you dinner, a corrective slap is in order. But you, you crazy fuck, beat her up so bad she fled for her life by climbing over a wall and you pulled her back down! WORSE: you beat her up ON A HOLIDAY! What kind of fucking savage beats their wife on a holiday dedicated to the god of the home!"
Western sensibilities: "Wait, hang on. There's some priorities amiss here."
W.E.B. DuBouis has a scathing article where he was leaked a copy of instruction by the French Army, to French Soldiers, explaining why Americans were so obsessive about Race, and that the Americans had explicitly demanded that French soldiers stop treating American blacks like everyone else.
All sorts of crazy shit like "American blacks aren't like Algerians, they are savages who were taught civilization through slavery", and "American negros can't be trusted because they are animalistic", and "No American white will tolerate interacting with a Negro".
It's just amazing to me that the French were like, "We know what black people are. Look: Algerians!" And the Americans were just REEEEE-ing like crazy screaming "NO IT'S DIFFERENT!"
