And let's face it, the poor bastards don't have a lot, nor do they have much opportunity, easy to snicker when sitting in the West but I am pretty sure I would not like to live in that cesspit.
My sister’s family lived in Kenya for several years. My brother-in-law says that the thing that surprised him most about poor Africans in general is their total disdain for maintaining mechanical things. They’ll drive a car until the engine seizes, but they won’t put oil in it. If a tire goes flat, they’ll keep driving until the tire is gone and the rim is so misshapen the whole wheel is torn off. A vacuum cleaner is used until the bag is so full it’s ineffective, and then discarded.
He says at first he thought they were just culturally lazy—you know, putting oil in a car is harder than not putting oil in a car. But further observation led him to conclude that, no, they’re actually very hard-working; they’re just somehow constitutionally incompatible with technology.
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain--that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist." --Lysander Spooner, 1867

Here where I currently live, being a farmer or a machinist is in the air we breathe. Inventive, creativity, and ingenuity are marks of the Northern European Protestant work ethic.
Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven.
The wheel, arguably man's greatest invention, was unknown in sub-Saharan Africa until Europeans introduced it in the 1600s.....
The Egyptians had the wheel thousands of years ago what's Sub-Saharian's excuse?
They're still arguing about whether ancient Egyptians had black or white skin.
What's the drawings they left to say? Is it written that Cleopatra was a black beauty?
Climate change from mans carbon footprint is being argued too
Cleopatra was Greek, and carbon is literally the element of life. Climate slowly changes all the time, and more available carbon means more plant and animal life. And you are a boomer that is too old to be making points online.

They have an average IQ that we call "retarded". Or at least we did for many decades.
There are differences between racial groups that far outstrip the color of skin. These stem from the environments each group traditionally inhabited. Africans did not have winter to plan for, with the growing, harvesting, gathering, storing, planting, gathering into supportive communities, building devices that made all of these things more efficient. So their environment selected for the laziest, most violent, most horny of them. While ours selected for the smartest, best at planning, best at innovating, strongest, most friendly and supportive, most nurturing as parents, etc.

Having an average IQ of 70 likely contributes to that technological incompatibility.
This won the Pulitzer Prize. This explained why the Negros of Africa lived in poverty, disease, and misery. And why white people of Europe lived a comfortable and wealthy life style. It is all because Africa has all the germs, and Western Europe has the steel and the ability to make guns. Purely an accident of geography.
This bit of Lib propaganda won the Pulitzer Prize.

The Chinese are there to save the day for them now. Funny thing, Kenyans complain about how fascist the Chinese are. The Brits don’t seem nearly as bad by comparison.

My mom and dad both worked for the US embassy in Nairobi.
They had gate guards, housekeeper, yard man.
Their house compound had a push mower for Egray. He could never get the mower started, pull and pull. Would come to my old man and say...".the ginny..is Imemaliza kabisa" lol aka broke, finished, etc
Dad would pull the choke, push the primer bulb a few times and magic Mzunga would get it started. Everytime. lol
Mother asked me to send some Burpee blue lake green seeds. She would allow the staff to have use of their garden space inside the compound grounds. They would never wait for the bean plants to bear bean pods. They would pick the leaves and cook them like 'greens'
It ain’t going anywhere, carrying a full bucket of water on your head is elegantly simple, and most do it effortlessly with no hands.
As an aside you can tell rural Africans from the rich ones that grew up in cities with servants by their postures, the ones that grew up rich all have slouching postures like Europeans, the poor ones that grew up hauling water all have gracefully upright postures like from the Ford Modelling Agency.
No sugar cane where I was also, I used to say that the woman I married would have to be able to carry a bucket of water on her head and open beer bottles with her teeth.
Those who think Africans cant turn a wrench ain’t seen their mechanics in action, keeping ancient vehicles up and running.under awful conditions.
Biggest thing I’d fault em for is welding, the times they would repair a vehicle frame or whatever it was common to weld without a face shield, in the belief that African eyes were stronger than those of Whites.
Not an unreasonable belief in the context of never seeing Whites actually laboring, and then too without constant malaria meds most Whites are dead inside of six months.
But carry on Campfire Africa experts......
