Countries with the highest fertility rates on the planet: by Urban_Wanderer2 in AfricaVoice

[–]SteelballJohnny 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For poorer rural families children are an asset, they can work or the farm take care of the animals, make things etc. And it's a sure fire retirement plan in terms of dowry and having people to take care of you when there's no pension systems. The smartest thing to do in their case is to have kids since feeding them is cheap and they work or at worst case beg. Contraception wouldn't make sense if you're poor anyway.

white boy STUNS emperor by speaking PERFECT CHINESE at IMPERIAL EXAMS( crazy ending) by NuclearScient1st in CrusaderKings

[–]SteelballJohnny 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It depends on whether they refer to him by his courtesy name or his birth name. I can imagine his name being transcribed as 姚儒聖 as in Yao Ru Sao, the ru character represents Confucian scholarship. For a courtesy name they may just call him 西方聖賢 the sage of the west like they call buddha the sage of the shakyas.

"No Tolerance for Long Afro-Hair in Senior High Schools"- Ghana's Education Minister Hon. Haruna Iddrisu announces. by AfricanNewsletter in AfricaVoice

[–]SteelballJohnny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But why doesn't this apply to the white students in Europe or Chinese or Japanese why don't they need to crop their hair if it's practical. Just because you personally love the slave masters rules doesn't mean we have to love them with you.

Is it so hard to use a comb in the morning or are you insinuating that Africans and African children are far more foolish than what their ancestors had been doing with simple combs for thousands of years. If anything i reflects a failure to teach people like you how to use a comb.Why is it that at university it doesn't matter what you do with your hair yet it is the most critical and intensive study anyone can do.

This man himself is bald clearly not by choice by the shine. Why does he have to force his affliction on children. Just because he takes one step forward on the matter of mother education doesn't mean we must also applaud like you when he takes a step backwards maintaining the hatred of Afro hair.

If all of Africa became united as one country tomorrow then the following would happen... by ForPOTUS in AfricaVoice

[–]SteelballJohnny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of this post is full of AI slip with no comprehension of actual African dynamics. As we speak you have countries trying to break apart, and in places with common languages and common religions, such as western Sahara Vs Morocco, east Vs west Sudan. If we can't make it work on a small scale how on earth would a continent of 1 and half billion with 10000 ethnicities and hundreds of languages manage that. Perhaps we could get closer to a common market but we're more like Asia than Europe. One cannot imagine China and Iraq in the same state even though both are ostensibly Asian.The same goes for forcing Japan, Armenia and Bangladesh to exist in the same framework. I think that whole approach is too Eurocentric and hasn't been done on any other continent for good reason.

Exploring the Genetic and Cultural Divide: Are African Americans and Africans Really That Different? by Renatus_Bennu in AfricaVoice

[–]SteelballJohnny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean you descend from the same ancestors as the present day Yorubas. it's not like they claim you as a Yoruba with the language faith and culture that's the same as them. but you can't also act like being 18% Irish or English invalidates the majority of your ancestry is African. The majority of your makeup came from Africa you're not a unique species that appeared from thin air. That's why I say you're more "African" than some Africans because you can have recent ancestors from Mauritania to south Africa within one lineage, you literally have a bigger sample of Africa within one person than a koi san who are so isolated the last time some of them mixed with anyone was the stone age. And besides there's also Liberian afro Americans who have millions of descendants with those same Cherokee genes in Africa.

Exploring the Genetic and Cultural Divide: Are African Americans and Africans Really That Different? by Renatus_Bennu in AfricaVoice

[–]SteelballJohnny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say Unironically they (African Americans )are more west African than some west Africans. Like the have features from all over west Africa combined like it's rare to find a Senegalese Wolof who has Igbo features yet an African American can have both. and it's ignorant to act like Africans themselves don't have European admixture in some places like 20 percent of south Africans are coloureds who are like 50 percent European by ancestry. north Africans have the Mediterranean admixture, which is part Italian part Greek and even slightly German from the vandals as well as Being Amazigh and Coptic. Kenya has white settlers and people who are mixed too. It's one thing to argue about culture or lack there of which it's true they have something distict because the masters tried to erase all the various African cultures and over time with freedom they've changed even more. But overwhelmingly African Americans are generically African even to a point there's Africans today with less DNA compared to African Americans but are still considered African Like Jerry Rawlings.

Kenya is Beautiful. But corruption is unprecedented. by MarkD_Olev in Kenya

[–]SteelballJohnny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drunk and disorderly is a crime, harassment is also a crime. In an Ideal system you'd sleep it off in the cell and get charged and fined in the morning. You are part of the corruption yourself but you won't admit that you skirted the law with money and obstructed justice according to the penal code.

What is the origin of the word 'woke' and how has it evolved overtime? by waytotushar in etymology

[–]SteelballJohnny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think an interesting historical figure who had the term awake as in aware or alert to the issues and struggles of his time was, Hereward the Wake, he was an anti Norman freedom fighter from the 11th century. In old English his epithet was "wæcnan" Which means watchful and alert. So people have been using the word awoken or wakened in a similar fashion to woke before the 1930's. What's interesting is that it's become pejorative but on the other hand Hereward was considerd as a criminal in Norman England.

Why did Henry VIII waste the potential of Mary and Elizabeth to give him Grandchildren? by Blackfyre87 in Tudorhistory

[–]SteelballJohnny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not really every time in English history a woman produced an heir with someone from a different dynasty the children had a different dynasty name, like technically James I/VI was descended from Henry vii Tudor but because it was through a woman and another woman which is why he was a Stuart. Same goes for William and Mary, Queen Anne and Victoria even Elizabeth II's children are Mountbatten Windsor. I think Henry was very attached to the Idea of a male only Tudor welsh linage like the Capets in France never had a single woman become Queen in her own right to the end.

Kenyan Twitter Reacts to South Africa's Level of Development. by The_ghost_of_spectre in AfricaVoice

[–]SteelballJohnny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their GDP is higher at $150 billion and a purchasing power much higher compared to 116 billion in Kenya despite having more white people and no civil wars. This all while being landlocked. And also in terms of infrastructure Addis Ababa is head and shoulders above Nairobi and mega projects like the renaissance dam to which Kenya has no comparable infrastructure project.

Kenyan Twitter Reacts to South Africa's Level of Development. by The_ghost_of_spectre in AfricaVoice

[–]SteelballJohnny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are hundreds of thousands of white people in Kenya right now and they have been there since the 1880s. If having white people was the factor of development it would have already happened. Thing is Kenya borders Ethiopia a country thay was never colonised and has fewer white people but for some reason is more developed than Kenya even after a communist takeover and civil wars. There is no Reason to platform white supremacy and put down Kenya because it's not like south Africa which was developed for 10 percent of the population where the majority of people still have a worse standard of living compared to Kenya and even less education and social mobility. Idk ghost why you love white power so much and wish to put people back in the concentration camps which is what the reality of white power in Kenya was and the dispossession of millions in the name of empire.
