raumdeuter:Stop dancing around and give the answer. After all your racist hero Charlie Kirk gave his own answer: that there weren't equal rights for blacks. That was his reason. Give yours. |
raumdeuter:As for hip hop, its your side that claims that is a cause. |
GloriousGbola:Nor mind am! |
raumdeuter: tctrills:You are just trying to make simplistic caricatures of hard anthropology and the laugh is on you both. I dont have to keep repeating that there are many interlocking factors. |
TV01:Another response to this. Could you select one Caucasian tribe and conclude that since they were belligerent over centuries then Europeans as a whole would not make progress? Does that make sense to you? Yet that is exactly what you have done here. And mark: no African violence can hold a candle to the violence of Europe in terms of breadth, scale, age, repetition, and sheer brutality. |
TV01:Why is Israel still fighting its neighbours 3000 years later? You see? Lessons - ' ' 1. Recurring decimals are not unique to black people 2. One negative recurring decimal does not mean that there is no progress overall. |
tctrills:Of course not, its work in progress and its not a journey of a single day or even a single lifetime. I just reminded TV01 how your beloved Israel has literally been in the same conflict for thousands of years, since he ws bringing up the conflict of the Fulani and Yoruba as proof that Africa will stagnate or regress in the next 200 years. By the way do you share that view? |
TV01:I grant that certain things tend to be like a recurring decimal among certain people. If I mention the history of Israel and how they are still stuck in violent cycles you will not want to hear that one will you? Nonetheless it doesnt make sense to claim that you cannot see progress in black African nations even within your lifetime. Happily, you dont have to admit it. It will occur regardless of your opinion. And even if it didnt occur, your lifetime is too small to be the judge of the matter. How many people lived and died through the stagnant middle ages of Europe? There can and will be an African Renaissance. |
TV01:Thats absolutely unfair, my epistles have noted the issues we have such as corruption - which are simply not unique to us. By contrast, you lot pick those issues and act as though they are genetic flaws unique to black people as created by God. |
raumdeuter:I am still waiting for the reason. Oh wait - dont tell me its hip hop?!!!! ![]() |
raumdeuter:Dont be silly. Answer the question. |
raumdeuter:Pls dont try to flip your own logic on me. Its tctrills that brought Peruvian desert into the matter and I am asking you if Peru is now a developed first world country. If it is not then the argument you were championing falls apart on that score. This is aside the fact that I troubled myself to extract the differences in the deserts. In fact, one dessert helps another, but forget it. You guys are too lazy for that level. |
tctrills:If you know the bold to be true, you have been wasting our time arguing against the obvious. Can you also discount the circumstances of birth? Abi it doesn't matter if someone was a homeless orphan and you compare his struggle to that of Dangote's child? And if he reminds you that he was a homeless orphan you shout "excuses!" |
raumdeuter:Why. Answer. |
raumdeuter:Oh, and Peru is a first world developed country doing better than African countries today right? |
raumdeuter:And what is the cause of this social dynamic? Or did God create blacks with that unique genetic predilection for single parenthood and absentee fatherism? Is that your explanation? God made us so? |
raumdeuter:Unless you dont believe in cause and effect, even for them, there is a cause, a reason, and explanation for everything. That is the law of cause and effect. Unless you believe in voodoo. So when you say things like - oh the problem is absentee husbands. Please follow up with "Why?" Rather than make it appear as though God created blackmen with that unique tendency. When tctrills says oh, its leadership and corruption, he should do the same - ask why such poor leadership and why such corruption, rather than make it appear as though it comes naturally with black skin. And when someone is giving you well researched scientific answers, all you can do is throw up your hands and shout "excuses!" |
raumdeuter:I have literally written epistles pointing out a hoard of interlocking factors. You are the one who lazily wants to stick with white good, black bad. We are telling the story of man's life and I am looking at it from birth to childhood to puberty, to adolescence, to young adulthood, to full adulthood, to middle age, to early old age, to advanced old age to death. You, by contrast are determined to analyze only his puberty and discount the everything before that and everything after that. |

GracieX3:You can say that again! Not a whimper! But they will be quick to tell you how useless the black South Africans are for not creating Eldorado in 30 years. |

Why did we need trains? Or Space travel. This saying which you repeat often is not science or fact.Preponderantly. One cannot over estimate for example, the amount of innovations WW2 ushered in. We have that war to thank for even the internet we are using. |
TV01:The Fulani are not the only tribe in Nigeria and even within the Fulani the reprobate and violent tendency is not the only tendency. I asked you a question about where black Africans will be in a century, its not sufficient to point to one violent tendency in one tribe and end your analysis there, concluding that on that account, the entirety of black Africa will either stagnate or regress. There is progress everywhere if only you are not prejudiced to see it. |
raumdeuter:Very good that you admit those statements are true. It's not hard to decipher. It's as simple as saying that someone in hot weather will have darker skin and someone in cold weather will have lighter skin. |
WizardOfNG:.Bagudu. |
GracieX3:What is irritating is if you flip the script by pointing out anything negative about white populations, they will have thousands of "defenses." Not excuses oh. |
tctrills:Look, if you can tell me these two statements are false, then good enough. 1. Environment influences lifestyle and culture over time. 2. Necessity is the mother of invention. Just say these are lies, and let us rest. |
raumdeuter: EXTRACTED: While both the Atacama/Peruvian Desert system (often collectively referred to as the Peruvian coastal desert) and the Sahara Desert are hyper-arid environments, they possess vastly different ecological profiles, soil compositions, and "fertility" dynamics. When comparing their fertility, we have to look at two distinct dimensions: agricultural potential (with human intervention) and natural ecological productivity. 1. Atacama / Peruvian Coastal Desert Despite being one of the driest places on Earth, the Peruvian desert strip is an agricultural miracle when managed properly, driven by unique geographical and geological factors. Soil Composition: The soil is primarily composed of mineral-rich volcanic ash, alluvial deposits from the Andes, and sand. It lacks organic matter but is incredibly rich in phosphorus, potassium, and trace minerals. The Andean Advantage: The desert is crisscrossed by over 50 rivers flowing down from the Andes Mountains. This creates fertile river valleys (oases) that cut through the arid landscape. The Humboldt Current & Camanchaca: The cold ocean current creates a thick, dense fog called camanchaca. This fog provides moisture that sustains unique, specialized ecosystems called Lomas—isolated islands of vegetation in the desert that bloom with flowers and shrubs purely from fog moisture. Agricultural Output: Because the soil is a blank canvas rich in minerals, the introduction of modern drip irrigation (using trapped Andean runoff) has turned the Peruvian desert into a global agricultural powerhouse, yielding high-value exports like asparagus, blueberries, avocados, and grapes. 2. The Sahara Desert The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world. Its sheer scale means its fertility is highly fragmented, resting on ancient geological remnants and subterranean water. Soil Composition: The Sahara is largely covered by shifts of sand dunes (ergs), stone plateaus (hamadas), and gravel plains (regs). The soil is heavily weathered, highly alkaline, and generally lacks the fresh volcanic mineral wealth found in Peru. Fossil Aquifers & Oases: Natural fertility in the Sahara is almost entirely localized around oases, which are fed by massive underground fossil aquifers (like the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System). Where this water reaches the surface, the soil is highly productive, supporting date palms, figs, olives, and citrus. The Dust Export (Global Fertility): Ironically, while the Sahara's soil isn't highly fertile in situ, it is a major source of fertility for the rest of the planet. High winds lift millions of tons of nutrient-rich Saharan dust across the Atlantic Ocean. This dust is loaded with phosphorus and iron, acting as a crucial fertilizer for the Amazon Rainforest and marine phytoplankton in the Atlantic. |
raumdeuter:Look, if you can tell me these two statements are false, then good enough. 1. Environment influences lifestyle and culture over time. 2. Necessity is the mother of invention. Just tell me these are lies so we can all rest the issue. |
Mattswaggz:Do you think there is a problem of conflict of interest when a president negotiates such with a department he supervises. |
raumdeuter:Of course you will not stop to ask if there were Native tribes even living in the Sahara at all, would you? And God forbid you task yourself to compare the nature of both deserts. |
tctrills:It's not anything superior. It's the fact that you don't read and don't think that is annoying. I have given you people scientific links. Are those scientists making excuses for Africa? Are they leftist politicians? Look I can't think for you if you can't think for yourself. I give you lucid explanations about how culture evolves in the temperate zone and you ask why the same doesn't happen in an arid desert where no one lives in the first place. It is exasperating. Look, if you can tell me these two statements are false, then good enough. 1. Environment influences lifestyle and culture over time. 2. Necessity is the mother of invention. Just say these are lies, and let us rest. |
raumdeuter:Pls ask basilico. Something tells me the same answer will land better in your mind from him. |
