I think I have mentioned a few times why although I do like a drink (but not able to hang with the god of Beer Mr Berbaslug) I rarely feel comfortable going to a Pub.
This is a good reason why.....
It appears that a couple of white supremacists fake “befriended” a random Black man at a bar, kept buying him drinks to deliberately get him drunk so they could ambush attack him.

Another thing I have spoken about here.
The army of so-called do gooders traipsing around Africa doing god knows what with little to no oversight.
I have been challenged here about it a fair few times and told I don't know what I am talking about.
Well I would like those people (and a specific person in particular) to cast their eye on this and pass comment.

I can only really talk about myself, but I find that I can 'let go' of some things externally if I'm prepared, though it usually costs me and I will have to spend a lot of time subsequently managing myself internally. My understanding is that how possible this is will depend on the context and where on the continuum one lies. I have a memory that you've a connection with this, am I right?
Don't want to drag this OT.

Yes. I was phrasing my post, possibly poorly, firstly with sensitivity to the topic and secondly with specific reference to the context of this story.

You're right though, so we'll leave it there.

Charity work in Africa is a multi-billion $ business which has sadly attracted many dodgy individualsWho waltz around the continent acting like gods and do whatever they like in the full knowledge that if their misdeeds are discovered there will be no sanction.
You can make alot of money opening up a Medical Centre in the middle of the African bush. With half-decent marketing skills you can get alot of charity money from wealthy Philanphopists, Governments, NGO, Multinational companies and big Pharma.
This is an excellent piece by Al Jezeera

I've got an instructive story about US Christian charities in Uganda from my short time there in 2012, but it's long and will have to wait until you come by Frankfurt for a cocktail. I think until quite recently we still had that bottle of rum you brought with you to DC, whenever the hell that was (2005?).

There is a Twitter account called No White Saviors that is depressingly never short of material

Right enough, who's going to question your noble intentions if you claim to be doing work in the African bush treating sick children? There are also the US evangelical churches imposing their moral bullshit on African countries as a condition to doing their apparently wonderful and life-saving work there (cf. the criminalisation and victimisation of the LGBT community in Uganda). I wish they'd get chased into the fucking Nile.
As for US evangelicals, see this and pay close attention how he purposefully conflates himself with Jesus to scare the man into not hitting him back.

I would like to hear the story, although I suspect the details won't surprise me.
I am really glad most countries in West Africa are not welcoming to this nonsense. And they are much better off for it.

So, Mr Genius: if we could vote in the USA, whom should we vote for? (Candidate, not "fuck off, don't be a cunt, sort yourself out for even having to ask" type thing.)
Not even 'Democrat/Republican' thing either. Because if I could vote for the person involved in Nevada, they would raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. The Democrat guy already put that in motion, and it should be here by 2021. Why would I vote for a Republican, who is lying to win my vote (which I don't have etc)?
Also, and this is highly tangential, are the reparations dependent on how 'slavey' the people are? I'd be fine (NOT MY CHOICE) for $100k for every black person in the country. And you can bet your arse, that 45 is already going through Kenyan records... (his own)
Here's one: Every white person born, or soon to be, born, should be indentured to a non-white person for a period of no less than two years.

Fucking hell, that last post was like the ...
I'm ok with the last sentence. I'm also ok with having 'someone' other than idiots, ruling my life. In Nevada, there are more women than men, in the ...(whatever it's called*)... and, there are 48% non-white.
I literally had to punch my husband out of his chair to go and vote in 2016, and 2018. He votes for whatever, not my problem.
I am so scared.
*legislature?

My issue is with people who chastise black people for choosing to check out of the electoral process when all candidates have made it clear they would not address their issues.

More important Gentro is why there is very little discussion on this:
https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/17/us/er...ion/index.html
Props for Berbaslug for bringing this up. 1000 more times more important than all that nonsense about the "squad" V Trump spat that has generated pages of comment on OTF.
But you know gossip is always more important than news.

Hmm I don;t know about that TG. If reminded of the Eric Garner case at any point and asked to speculate the likely outcome of the investigation we would have said that either no charges would be brought, or even if they were they would be minor charges, which would get unanimously rejected by some jury. Because that's what always happens.
The president of the United states saying that people of colour who disagree with him should go back where they came from, and the entire republican party, and all their support lining up behind this new public policy is a much bigger event, and a clear milestone on the road to complete fascism. A similar terrifying story is The one about the census question, which was shot down only because Kennedy doesn't like being lied to, while having little problem with the actual question itself.

So how do 'we' help?
(Admittedly, spelling my name/nickname wrong on at least 4 occasions, isn't going to help.)
Hang on... TG, are you black?

(In my *defence for the above, I haven't spoken to my husband in 11 days. He is 'travelling in Taiwan'.)
Mr TG, I apologise.Last edited by Gerontophile; 19-07-2019, 20:20. Reason: *nope. No defence for racism. No excuse for it, and, none for cross-transferral hatred.
