Can confirm having grown up in sub Saharan Africa. They have no written tradition, everything is passed down orally through word of mouth. Which is why different tribes have wildly different interpretations of the same legends, like a game of broken telephone spanning hundreds of years.
They also never invented the wheel.
They also stack bricks beneath their beds because they believe in a demon midget called the Tokolosh who hides under there and waits until you’re asleep.
Learning one of their languages was something else as well. Once you figure out the clicks and lisp sounds, they’re actually basic and primitive to a fault. There aren’t actually enough words in Zulu for example to describe all the things out in the world. Some words therefore have like five different meanings.
Imagine someone telling you, “I think your wife is purple/goose/sandwich/sunbeam/suspension bridge...”
Yip, and then I get to hear dow-eyed foreign TV doctors celebrate how this or that tribe from this or that African country, “don’t even have a word for heart disease! 😱”
Motherfucker it’s not because they’re all healthy. They don’t have a word for gravity either 😐😑🤦🏼
This is a great read, and I can tell this author really did spend a lot of time living in my country. Most of what he says is spot on, especially where he talks about their having no concept of keeping a promise, their lack of forethought and their bloodlust.
These are all things I grew up kind of intrinsically knowing about them, as the author says, if you’re a white person capable of abstract thought you can predict what’s going to happen or what a group of Africans is going to do and prempt them in order to get yourself out of harms way, in fact YOU HAVE TO in order to stay alive. It’s funny to me where the author acknowledges his assumptions can be misconstrued as “racist”, because that’s 99% of the reason why white South Africans got such vicious backlash from the rest of the world in the 80’s, why we’re still portrayed as evil racist thugs today in mission impossible movies etc.
We were this weird little militarised country at the bottom of the world that spoke a funny, Germanish-sounding language and wouldn’t let blacks live in our cities. But it was never because we hated them, it was because we recognised the cultural differences were simply too vast and incompatible for both races to flourish. It’s hard to build a country when your farms are being burned, your livestock stolen, your women and children raped etc by a group of simpletons still stuck in the Stone Age with no concept of morality. We recognised they needed to be managed, they needed to be educated, they needed to be taught the concepts we all took for granted. Those were the real reasons for the apartheid policies that formed in the years that followed.
Contrary to everything that’s been written about it in the decades since, the apartheid policy wasn’t born out of hatred for blacks (if it was, we would have simply slaughtered them as Europeans slaughtered indigenous tribes elsewhere in the world). No, we wanted to uplift them into something better, we wanted to civilise them, guide them to the Lord as our deeply Calvinist Christian culture demanded.
So we built them parallel cities, highways, roads, hospitals and schools (things the tribes just a generation previously could never have even conceptualised sitting around the fire in their animal skins), and we told them, “all of this can be yours. All we ask is that you keep to your side and we’ll keep to ours, okay? Anything at all you need, just give a holler, we’re happy to help. Just as long as you keep to your side so that our women and children are safe”. That’s ALL that apartheid ever was. The term literally meant “seperate DEVELOPMENT”.
Development, not genocide, not racism, not any of the bullshit CNN and the other fake news peddled in the 80’s. Development.
But they didn’t develop. They torched the cities and schools and hospitals we built them, their areas became lawless hell holes almost immediately for all the reasons the author in your link highlights. And once their areas were absolute third world shit holes, you’d better believe CNN were there to film “the abhorrent conditions these poor people are expected to live under”, never mind that all their suffering was self inflicted.
It was also the reason why white South Africans for decades told the UN and the rest of the globalists to fuck off, we didn’t care about their bullshit sanctions. We knew if the apartheid policies ended, our cities and our homes would become as lawless as the African townships. We knew our women and children would be raped and murdered, we knew our infrastructure would rot away and the country we’d built would crumble in just a few decades (oh how wrong we were, right?).
It’s okay though, because they took a well mannered terrorist named Nelson Mandela, a man who’d planted bombs that killed schoolchildren, stuck him in front of the cameras in a nice suit with a few rug rats at his feet and made him president. Such a feel good story! So while everything we predicted would happen was happening, and our country was going to absolute shit on a daily basis, the focus was always on the good feels! It’s almost exactly what’s happening to America in the modern day.
Lol, no. The bricks are literally there to make the bed higher so the demon can’t reach you.
Back in the day, the tribes would make their fires inside a near-sealed rondavel (hut). Science happens, hot air rises, denser & heavier carbon monoxide sinks to the floor. Everyone sleeping on the floor mysteriously dies, everyone perched slightly higher on stacks of shields or Hyde etc are spared. Must have been a midget demon that got those poor dead peeps 🤷🏼♂️
Later when the Europeans arrive and start giving them farm jobs, mining jobs etc, they are introduced to the modern bed, but the superstition persists. The further you are away from the floor, the safer you are from the Tokolosh.
I wanted to say how it's questionable would the international audiences be even interested in anything remotely genuine (unlike the literal Jewish fantasy of Wakanda), but then I remembered there's a French African-folklore animated movie, Kirikou and the Sorceress, that was so successful that it got several sequels and spinoffs in many years after its release and there was even a video game.
To the surprise of many, Kirikou and Sorceress has become one of the greatest successes of French animated cinema. After modest beginnings, thanks to word of mouth the film quickly became a hit in France. Thanks to its success, the film has been translated into 16 languages and was exported around the world. Beginning in 1999, it was distributed in Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway. In subsequent years, the film also appeared in the United States, Germany and the UK. This international success has been bolstered by dozens of awards, including the Best Feature Film Award at the International Animation Film Festival in Ukraine and the Best European Feature Film Award at the British Animation Film Festival.
That's more than a great most of standalone animated films.
Africans would have to have recorded their mythology in some fashion for other people to be able to update it.

It’s no wonder they’re perpetually confused.
This explains why the zulu to english dictionary is only around 100 pages long

they don't understand abstract concepts

Is the midget demon repelled by bricks like the vampires are by garlic?
Lol, no. The bricks are literally there to make the bed higher so the demon can’t reach you.

Maybe it realises how dumb those intended victims are by doing that and it doesn't want to catch the stupid.
