  1. I genuinely thought he had some interest in this topic but I know realize he is just another racist trying to hide his intentions, I threw pearls before swine.
  2. I have been mulling over this questions for an hour... I also think it had alot to do with the Sahara desert, societies grow by trading with eachother, going to war and pillaging. If you look at a map of the world you can see that the civilizations that have developed most strongly were the ones that could connect with eachother without obstruction, you can see a long belt of civilization from Spain, Rome, Middle-East all the way to India and China. Unfortunately the Sahara is so huge that nobody could trek over it (or felt the need to) to see whats on the other side and hence the Sub-Saharan African people never got to trade etc with the rest of the world and so they had no reason to develop much.
  3. I would say its identification with perception... But I dont know how this identification happens... If I did I would be Awake
  4. I love his verse on Robes by Freddie Gibbs!
  5. ...But also, North Africa has been highly developed for 2000 years, what about Egypt, Ethopia, The Islamic Empires, Mali and Mansa Musa, are those not Africa?
  6. Its important to be nuanced about that I think, you dont know a muslim womans story so you shouldnt think off the bat that she is being oppressed, some people are just deeply religious. Personally I dont like that women have to cover their beautiful faces but thats none of my fucking business.
  7. Its not necessarily fake news, Its also how they paint a situation and what they leave out of the story, and how much of their own opinion they put into it. I definitely wouldnt call CNN fake news, fake news is more like Breitbart and Infowars, you can tell just by visiting the front page on Breitbart that they have a far-right agenda.
  8. Theyre decent I guess but I dont watch them, I dont need to, there are much better news sites out there. But if I want to get a gist of a situation theyre okay, for in depth analysis? No.
  9. Depends on which media. For example I wouldn't trust Fox News because theyre heavily biased but I would trust Reuters because theyre very objective. But it depends on what I want, sometimes Im in an angry anti-corporate mood then I will want some pretty leftist media.
  10. Just look at the Venus of Willendorf, stone age folks thought she was smoking, but that was different though, its hard to rewire your brain that much.
  11. And I feel liberated wearing pants. Mystery solved.
  12. Great video! Watching right now. Never considered the fact that the golden age of modern science might be over soon, interesting take!
  13. In a parallell universe Trump is a Zen master.
  14. Not his best, but Leo always keeps the quality up so that is not saying much.
  15. Im too dumb for chess.
  16. If he only knew the freedom you get after digging around in your shadow for 3 months straight... Dont listen to him.
  17. Because the ego knows deep down self-reflection means death, why do you think people say "Dont think so much."
  18. More details needed, what kind of jokes? If you feel really uncomfortable you should probably let go of those friends. Were all racist on a spectrum, some are obviously racist like Neo-Nazis, and some just make jokes with their friends, I have been guilty of that, I never put anyone down as being unintelligent but I do make jokes about not visiting certain areas of my city because its more... dangerous... Im very aware of it though and I rarely do it anymore.
  19. Another reason not to commit murder etc is karma, if you live by the sword dont be surprised if you die by it. What you send out into the world might come back to you...
