Great discussion I will have to watch a couple of times. Great research. I have noticed the murders in Mexico now off the charts. Their desperation showing. I am undecided about the China, Russia role.

Africans did not have a written language, so missionaries could only teach them in the languages they themselves knew. How do you teach trades people about a hammer, screwdriver, nails or the wheel if there are no African words for it? The clicking language of some tribes just cannot be written down; there are no letters in the alphabet for it. The White Gov set up universities for blacks in all the homelands. Before you take the moral high ground, consider what was done right, despite the odds. Remember that you got your information from the Mockingbird Media, you did not speak to a single person from the White community and you did not live there.

And of course Arabic, which has been used for centuries to write many African languages.

When you say 'African' you're talking about a lot of different cultures, some more advanced than others, but widespread literacy, even in Europe, is a fairly recent thing. European literacy began with the invention of movable type circa 1450, which made books relatively easy to mass produce, but still only available to those few who could afford them. European public education only got started in the 17th Century and wasn't broadly adopted until the 19th Century.

"The clicking language of some tribes just cannot be written down; there are no letters in the alphabet for it."

That's what diacritics are for.

https://www.britannica.com/topic/diacritic

Any spoken language can be written in any existing script with the appropriate diacritics. European languages use them extensively, you just don't notice them because they're treated as a natural part of the writing system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Click_consonant

The most populous languages with clicks, Zulu and Xhosa, use the letters c, q, x, by themselves and in digraphs, to write click consonants. Most Khoisan languages, on the other hand (with the notable exceptions of Naro and Sandawe), use a more iconic system based on the pipe ⟨|⟩. (The exclamation point for the "retroflex" click was originally a pipe with a subscript dot, along the lines of ṭ, ḍ, ṇ used to transcribe the retroflex consonants of India.) There are also two main conventions for the second letter of the digraph as well: voicing may be written with g and uvular affrication with x, or voicing with d and affrication with g (a convention of Afrikaans). In two orthographies of Juǀʼhoan, for example, voiced /ᶢǃ/ is written g! or dq, and /ᵏǃ͡χ/ !x or qg. In languages without /ᵏǃ͡χ/, such as Zulu, /ᶢǃ/ may be written gq.

I missed the Church Street bomb in which 19 people were killed, including a baby, by 3 minutes. A friend was injured in the Silverton Bomb, one of the many acts of terror authorized by Mandela. He deserved 30 years in jail. The Mocking Bird Media downplayed the urban terrorism and portrayed him as this saintly, wise man while 6 Jews from the Communist Party wrote his speeches. He was also known as a womaniser that often alarmed his handlers. The 6 Communists became wealthy businessmen when their job was done.

A minor correction: The Democratic Party (formerly Progressive Party) was founded by a Jew called Tony Leon, succeeded by another Jew, Helen Zille. The conservative party you may have thought of is the Freedom Front.

Julius Malema started incited his followers to sing “Kill the Boer” songs only after a visit to Oxford.

When the press wanted to be polite about Zuma’s breathtaking corruption, they euphemistically said that Mr Zuma does not distinguish between his own purse and the public purse.

One cannot speak about South African politics with any measure of authority without having read ‘Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd – South Africa’s Greatest Prime Minister’ by Stephen Mitford Goodson (130 pages) as well as Ilana Mercer’s ‘Into the Cannibal’s Pot’ .

UN Sec Gen Dag Hammarskjold and Mr Verwoerd together formulated solutions that all the black tribes agreed with and there was an optimism when PM Verwoerd visited the various homelands to the extent that he received the honorific of ‘Rainfather’. Both were assassinated by London. Solly Jacobson, a psychiatrist, was sent from London to be the handler of PM Verwoerd’s assassin. He flew back to London on 6 Sept 1966, the day of the murder.

The Title Deed of the land the first Voortekkers bought from a black tribal leader in the dry interior in 1838, can still be read in the Pretoria Deeds Office; the land was not ‘stolen’. Since the Boers lost the war against the British invaders who declared the Union of South Africa, they also lost their independence.

The reason why Whites wanted blacks to stay in their homelands was a safety issue; I can provide photos of naked White women being hanged with their hands tied and stomachs ripped open or raped with broken beer bottles. Even BBC admitted that a girl in the ‘new’ S.Africa is more likely to be raped twice before she turned 16, than to finish school. The ethnic cleansing of the White minority continues to this day. There are only 20,000 White farmers left. A caller on a radio show asserted that she does not care that White farmers are being slaughtered because she buys her food from Woolworth. You cannot make this up.

Remember that King Chaka Zulu had 600 young girls killed to accompany his mother in her journey through death. It is naïve to equate African culture with European culture.

"It is naïve to equate African culture with European culture."

Depends what metrics you use.

The death toll of European 'culture' far exceeds anything Africa ever came up with. Europe has been in a near constant state of warfare since Roman times. In the last two years alone over 500,000 people have been killed in Ukraine. Need I mention the Holocaust, or the 26 Million Soviet citizens killed in WWII?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties

World War II was the deadliest military conflict in history. An estimated total of 70–85 million people perished, or about 3% of the estimated global population of 2.3 billion in 1940. Deaths directly caused by the war are estimated at 50–56 million, with an additional estimated 19–28 million deaths from war-related disease and famine. Civilian deaths totalled 50–55 million.

Africans have a lot of catching up to do. I'd venture to guess that more Africans have died at the hands of Europeans than the other way around.

Oh, it's all on fire now isn't it. Don't worry my friends, just keep going. No, I do not believe trump is working for us but what do I know. Scientologists seem to be all up in every candidate running for the White House job. Are they reformed occultists or the same thing? People are seeing it in their local communities if they have any sense of reality. But local voices are not happy. They just need to demand answers to the right questions which are who are these globalist organisations behind these programs, grants, funding infiltrating our whole local community. Who runs them? Who do they really answer to? And look how they profit from their private stakeholder positions we never signed up for.

It should be noted that continental Europe never saw Africans as lesser or unknown. Check it out.

Not the people, but most certainly the powers that have abused and used and subjugated them forever. I guess they've had enough. Let's hope they don't slip into the arms of another false saviour but even then it won't work.

You're wrong, buddy. Don't be naive.
