GWagonlover: Poor kid, exposed so much pressure at a tender age. A four year old kid in school memorising? Please, don't crush your kid. Listen to real professional dealing with people with autism and also talk with autistic people about what you shouldn't do to your kid. Don't let them suffer for your failures, every kid deserve to grow their own way. A child with autism will grow to be an adult with autism, you can either allow them to grow in their way and be successful at what they love or you crush the with your selfishness. |

Ishilove: Why do you have 4-old in school in the first place memorising sh.it? The child is suppose to be playing and exploring. Just putting so much pressure on the poor kid. If the parents are these worried, what do you think will happen to this kid, he will be crushed if care is not taken. 1 Like |

r bigpicture001: I don't have strength for these back and forth. It is just senseless and my last response. If you are a media person as you claim, you should know that stories you tell about people need to be balanced. Stories about African, India, China, Mexico, the Middle East, etc. are not balanced in the West. They have always been told through a particular lens that is meant to stereotype people in a specific way. I know this because people still ask me silly questions about Africa in 2020. In the beginning, when I was in college, I get annoyed at these questions, but I have come to understand that it isn't their fault, it is what the media feeds them - that is just what they see and hear about these places. I don't ask western media to show Africa as a paradise, no place is, but if you want to tell stories about Africa, tell it like the people there are human beings and not just some savages. Don't stereotype them. BTW, the CNN you see in Africa is different for what you see in America. It would help if you listened to this TED talk by Chimamanda; it's a good summary on how dangerous stereotypes can be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9Ihs241zeg Forgive me, but you sounded ignorant about the AAs. I understand that many Africans don't know much about AA, we were never taught about them in schools, and our parents don't know much either. We see them as black people in a country like America, who have refused to take the opportunities around them. Many things make people, as a group succeed in life; it is not just about opportunities. You must first have confidence that you can do something meaningful in life and that your contributions matter, all these don't come easily. African immigrants coming into the US have one thing the AA don't, the confidence that they can succeed. They have a rich family background, historical understanding of who they are, their place in the US society and have seen people around the reach great height. AAs have been robbed of all these for centuries. The AAs have had to battle with generational institutional racism that has put them at a socioeconomic and PSYCHOLOGICAL disadvantage which African immigrants have never experienced. They can't just move on as you suggested, no one can. I hope the Aboriginals in the US, Canada and Australia can also move on to succeed, and I believe they also wish that too, it is not that easy. To be candid, even without racism, I think they can't move on. I'm not emotional about anything, I don't care about China or Russia. I live in the West and enjoy the democrazy that I couldn't stay back to fight for in my country. However, the truth is the truth. Which country has started more wars than the US in the last 50 years? No country comes close sef. |

bigpicture001: Still typing more BS. I see and I know how the media works in the west. I know how African is portrayed, I know how India is portrayed, I know how China is portrayed. They have templates of how they want their citizens to see these places. If I haven't lived or visited these places, I won’t believe real people can live there. Who destabilized all the Middle East, Egypt and Libya in the first place? I’m sure, it’s not China or Russia. The US is spending a lot of money on making weapons and selling them, they will have to use them somewhere at least. Please tell which country has started more wars than the US. And on the black Americans, you called them entitled and lazy? Your ignorance is on another level. Why do you think, as a group, the AA and aboriginals both in North American and in Austrialia behave the way they do? You think they are lazy and entitled? Do you also think it is a coincidence? Many African immigrants in the US are cowards and don’t deserve any respect. Every thing the black people enjoy today in America, including being partly recognized as a human being, were fought for by the AA ( in most cases with their lives). On the other hand, African immigrant are too cowardly to stay back in the own country to even fight their fellow men for the basic rights of themselves and their children. They would rather run to another place where they and their children will perpetually remain in the lowest rung of the ladder in the society, kiss ass and smile even when racially abused. If you are not brave enough to stay back in your country to fight for it betterment for your generation, you should at least respect those that fought to create the opportunities you now enjoy. 2 Likes 1 Share |

bigpicture001: BS. What are they trying to thwart? The US has started more wars, killed more people, destabilized more countries and destroyed people’s lives than any country in the last 50 years. Just look around the world, which country goes to other counties to kill their people for nothing. Even in America, the US has more of it citizens in prison (mostly blacks) than any other country in the world. Just imagine, the US (with population ~350million) has more people in prison than China and India combined (~3billions). Crazy. The US may do some good things but they do a lot of bad shi.t.

Foreign Affairs / COVID-19: Hong Kong To Suspend All Schools Due To Spike In Coronavirus Cases by ponziponzi(m): 2:20am On Jul 11, 2020 |
HONG KONG — Hong Kong’s Education Bureau on Friday announced the suspension of all schools from Monday after a sharp rise in locally transmitted coronavirus cases fueled fears of renewed community spread. Schools in the Asian financial hub have been mostly shut since January, with many having switched to online learning and lessons by conference call. Many international schools are already on summer break. Hong Kong reported 38 new coronavirus cases on Friday, edging down from Thursday’s 42 but broadly in line with a sharp increase that the city registered over the past three days. Authorities said 32 of the new cases were locally transmitted after the city reported mostly imported cases for months. The total number of cases since late January now stands at 1,404. Seven people have died. Some of the recent cases involved students and parents, said Education Secretary Kevin Yeung. “Many parents are worried about the sudden growth of local transmission cases in the past few days,” said Mimi Tsang, mother of 12-year-old student Melony. However the early suspension comes as the switch to online learning at home has frustrated teachers, parents and students and exacerbated the learning gap between the haves and havenots. More than two thirds of parents, regardless of income, believe their children have difficulty learning at home, according to a February survey by the Education University of Hong Kong. A survey by The Society for Community Organisation (SoCO) of nearly 600 low-income students shows more than 70% don’t have computers and 28% have no broadband. The early closure of schools would this time not have much impact on teaching, students and parents said, as it comes just ahead of the summer holidays. “We just had one more week of classes to go, so I don’t think there is too much difference,” said 14-year-old student Ryan Chan.

Foreign Affairs / Breaking News: Ivory Coast Prime Minister Amadou Gon Coulibaly Has Died At 61 by ponziponzi(m): 11:52pm On Jul 08, 2020 |
Ivory Coast's Prime Minister Amadou Gon Coulibaly has died, the country's President announced. In a statement, President Alassane Ouattara said the nation was in mourning over Coulibaly's death on Wednesday afternoon, which occurred shortly after he attended a cabinet meeting in the Presidential Palace. He described the prime minister as his closest collaborator over a 30-year period. Coulibaly, 61, had been chosen to run as the ruling party's candidate in this year's October presidential election. He had only recently returned from a two-month stay in France where he had been undergoing health check-ups. At the time, the government said that "after examinations on Monday 4 May at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, he will take a few weeks rest, as prescribed by his doctor." Coulibaly arrived back in the Ivory Coast on Thursday On Twitter, President Ouattara said, "I salute the memory of a statesman, of great loyalty, devotion and love for the homeland. He embodied this young generation of Ivorian leaders of great skill and extreme loyalty to the Nation." According to his official biography, Coulibaly leaves behind a wife and five children.

idonhammer: Coronavirus is actually increasing exponentially around the world. In fact, the daily new cases recorded today is by far the highest that has ever been recorded since the start of this pandemic. You don't seem to hear it because it has shifted from the western countries to developing/underdeveloped countries. Brazil, India, Chile, Mexico and Pakistan are the new epicentre of this disease and nobody really cares about these people. When it is African turn, people will die and no one gives a fu,ck about sh,it hole countries. 2 Likes

Imagine how wicked and selfish the UK can be, they fought a war to force the selling of hard drugs on citizens of another country and took over part of the country. Unlike Africans that don't know their history, a lot of countries, like Japan, China, India, etc., actively teach this history to their children so that they don't make the same mistakes again.

bluefilm: I pray it doesn't hit you. A medical practitioner, who is my in-law, lost his life to the disease this morning in Nigeria, he is 41 years old with occasional high BP. The disease is just like malaria for many but if your immunity is compromised due to high blood pressure, diabetics or similar diseases. it can be fatal. Be careful and stay safe. 1 Like |
