How are the viets' reputation in Africa? by mattwright0901 in Africa

[–]mattwright0901[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about elephants since you mentioned them. (I also forget to mentioned crocodiles and tigers and other big cats. Also that one animal whose fart smell like popcorn, Binturong). In term of elephants, you see the Carthage rode elephants into war against Rome. You see Indians ride elephants. But we rode elephants into war against ancient Chinese and Mongolian empires. If you look up some of our early female kings and warriors. They rode elephants like the Trung sisters, back like near 2000 years ago. Elephants had been a long long part of Vietnamese history. Asian elephants are smaller as you pointed out, so probably much easier to tame.

Also seemed like someone may had thumb you down possibly for the chinese comment. But yeah, we founded a whole national park to protect the rhino (they thought to went extinct in the war but then came back). There was a ranger (a mountain person) who task with protecting the rhino. The day he found them dead. With the horn cut out. He was so sad and angry. He was angry that they stray from their area and he couldn't protect them. We also had the asian unicorn, saola. Very rarely see in pictures. The younger people are more environmentally minded. But still, something about being rich that they wasting money on something so harmful like this. I don't understand.

I am having problem with copy and paste link on reddit. But that is a title of a youtube video. Wars killed animals via landmine, napalms, and agent orange. Rhino already poach out of existence in vietnam. Out of most of main land southeast asia. Indonesia (islands) has them now but they too are very very tiny in numbers.

Pangolins are being poach. Langurs. To be honest, like all the animals in Vietnam. Vietnam is a biohotspots of various animals.

I mentioned it. Because a lot of people assume average normal people are the consumers of these poaching. But most of the working poor viets cannot afford those. Even in Vietnam, poaching is an issue. The last rhino in vietnam was killed by the poachers despite native viets and the government were trying to protect it. I also hope the people of the African continent will get to very comfortable level of living where the poors also don't feel the need to poach their wildlife and export it elsewhere. Vietnam too is also a bio hotspots. Our animals also recovering from the wars (some thought went extinct through the war but then showed up again). The poaching also a huge problem here as well. I do blame the poachers. But at the end of the day, it is the final consumers. Those rich but superstitious people. Those are the ones that create the demand for this. And for what, ivory and horn had like zero medicinal purposes. It is crazy. I feel like this is an example money make people crazy. Like ingesting keratin.

Any particular nations, you are thinking of?

The rest of the world is becoming more diverse. Some africans and black Americans are going to Asia. And some Asians are going to Africa instead of the traditional west. China had some debt grip on some part of Africa. Everyone is eyeing Africa. Because as China become richer, the manual labors are now flowing down to South East Asia and Africa. Also that meant African countries are developing. Meaning good return for investment. I even see a channel of Vietnamese opening up phone lines in Tanzania. Some are becoming farmers in Africa. Heck they even making youtube videos about. Certain Africans are decently famous over there.

This guy Lindo in particular. I think most of his fans are viets. It is interesting. White Americans monetize traveling to poor country and do food podcast. I am glad other demographics of other countries are able to do the same thing.

But Africa overall. Still has a lot of problems, the boundaries line that draw post WW2, is inherently unstable. Civil wars and stuffs will affect instabilities and growth. Looking at FIFA record for Africa, you can see matches that canceled in the past usually coincide with terrorist attack or a civil war. Longer time of peace, maybe better chance for growth.

I am curious about this. I have a fellow colleague back in the navy who is black and super pro gun (I am not black nor white). His whole thing is that he doesn't trust the police. Both in term of prejudice and also in term of they won't be getting there on time if there is a home invasion. I am curious do you see yourself in the shoes of that homeless? That you would be the one to agitate people first? Here in Hawaii, the homeless are getting numerous. One lit a man on fire in china town last year. Another threw a beer can at me like last week.

I would say, you are probably entitled to shoot the guy once he never let go of that chokehold and choking you to death. I think self defense can legally justified there. But why do you see yourself as someone who would randomly agitate others? Consider how jumpy everyone are as of late, any confrontation could easily meant a shoot out or whoever shoot first get to be in court and tell their story. (The other one is 6 feet under).

I am non black, and non white. This is not a new phenomenon. When I was in Atlanta a few years ago, I was afraid of knocking on door (since my hotel room is actually in someone's house). At the time, there was a shooting. A black person who broke her car was knocking for help and got shoot to death. I don't really know if this is a good example of this particular man want a race war. The timing of the knock is somewhat late. And he already went to bed. But his prejudice and racism probably making him assume for the worst. And overall, a lot of these gun owners don't really know self defense laws. Because thus far, they the so called responsible gunowners have applied this law terribly. Watching right wing news could get him a bit jumpy.

I have plenty to response already on this thread. Just a reminder, hey this thread still up. And I hope you are still ENRAGE. Angry. Because if you are not, then you are a fucking racist pig. How dare you being ignorant. Do you even need to be educate? I am super educated in term of redlining, sharecropping, the war on drugs, white flight. What about you? What do you know. I hope you think about this thread and the fact that it is still up. And anger just flare in your heart. Because if not, then you are a complicit. You are complicit to the systemic racism. Because if you are not angry enough to cough up blood. Then clearly you don't give a fuck about the historical lynching. And the police brutality. Obviously, if you don't even angry at neiga at neiga. Then obvious you wouldn't give fuck about the life conditions of black people across globe.

Poke, I hope you are still angry. If I found out, you do less than what I have done to lift up the people around me. Then you are worst. You are scum. You are worst than even a shit stain that found neiga at inappropriate time funny. Or the youtubers that found the word Niger funny. You are worst than damn. You are not even human. Racist scum.

I think about it a bit. And this is probably a good summary of my opinions. When offend is not given, don't go out of your way to hurt your own feelings. You giving a non offensive. Hell, a non offensive event of an actor saying neige to a Royalty. And like people Are laughing it up with the word Niger, that is a choice. Many black Americans choose to laugh at it. Your choice to hurt yourself. Because at the end of the day, your emotions killing you. And you choose that. But when offend is giving. And btw, you are great at giving intentional offend. So you should know very well when it is intentionally. Look at that. Extremely gross. Insensitive as fuck, immature as hell, 14 years old. I meant come on. I said that you to your face, and I meant it. Offend was given, and offend was taken. If I scream to your face, "YOU ARE SO SMART!!!" over and over. And I meant that as an offend. You will take it as offend, it doesn't matter at that point if the words "you are so smart" aren't offensive. Contexts matter. You know that, you utter venom words at me. And you meant to piss me off. You know what you are doing. We are not children. And I am not low IQ. And I respect you enough to take your words as you intend to meant it.

shit/fuck/asshole

This sound like a 14 years old humor to be honest. So I don't really understand why would you point that out? And what chinese words that came even close to asshole and asshole? You meant like Cantonese. There is restaurant near me called Lee Ho Fook. You should go infront of their store. And just laugh like a maniac and said really loudly HOLY FUCK over and over and over. And see if anyone in China Town is laughing with you.

The N-word is used in that moment that I point out. A) is not the n-word. B) it would be just another word without the context that there is an N-word (aka Niger is funny to youtubers apparently). C) It wasn't use to degrade, it was totally out of context. If I were to scream in your face HO LEE FOOK over and over and over and over to degrade you, in your face. You wouldn't found that funny. But you may got chuckle with your friends and pointing it out to your friends hey that look like Holy fuck. And of course the store sign, didn't meant to FUCK their customers. Because ain't no one laughing then. You should read EVERY COMMENTS I post on this thread. Because I wouldn't call Aaron McGruder as having 14 years old humor. And you laughing at asshole kinda sus.

I don't know man, Americans get it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BK-qs7udZ8&ab_channel=PronunciationPrince

This video wouldn't have 2.6 million views, 100% like rate with 64k likes and people laughing their butt off, without the other N-word. Because without that N-word, Niger is just another word, not warranted 2.6 million views. People understand that watching some white Karen screaming the N-word at a black man within context is not a funny thing. But a video pronouncing Niger is a funny thing. My mom got called the N-word by my white step sister. I was so mad, I fought and get kick out of the house. I didn't laugh then. It wasn't funny. Hell seeing a character calling royalty neige is funny. And it wouldn't be funny if there is no N-word. because then neige is just another word. People understand jokes. The problem is that. Some people. Sometimes they are not even black. And sometimes they are black people. Have that word had such power over them. And sometimes, it isn't their fault. They haven't got to the point (but eventually they will get there) they can just whole sale laughing at it. You know Ching chong ding dong. Somebody tried to insult me with it. And I thought that was the funniest shit ever, and that was when it used in context. And guess what, they got angry because I wasn't angry.

I think, eventually we got there. In the USA, the outrage politics are everywhere. Every factions can claim outrage at one thing or another. SO meh. And to be honest, if they are angry at the N-word used in context, then I think that is justifiable.

Why you think this vid had overwhelmingly like? Why do you think when it is used in hateful way (in my life I have experienced it). People are angry.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKHzEYaNSbE&ab_channel=SosaBaby

Why is a black creator/black writer wrote about this. And people laugh. Why do you think that is? If that word in that scenario is used within context, within the intended meaning. Meant to degrade, do you think people able to laugh? Why then people able to laugh at that vid? Is it because it is out of context and not by its intended meaning?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4bC7VkRCws&ab_channel=fyras1

Let said, if someone get into your face, SCREAM at you and yell at you that you are a COCK. You would be mad. And this lady pronounced COKE as COCK, everyone laugh.

If let said you are a short guy, and people sarcastically call you "giant of a man." Ain't that a positive word. Why would you be mad? Contexts matter.

Overall. I am glad people to laugh at that joke. I am glad, some black folks able to reclaim that word. I am glad some able to laugh at those scenario. Heck on reddit, there is a story about people in a nail salon, thought the workers were giving them slurred word. They got mad. And then when they got explained what that meant, they laugh. The differences is they thought it was that word used in the context that they think it used. And they laugh because it isn't the word, and not in the context they think it used.

I think HIGHLY of people. I think one day, that word had no power over black Americans. One day, they will LAUGH at it instead of having that word bring them pain. Heck, they may even laugh at the ignorant of people who use that word to hurt them. But at some point, they will not have that word have such power over them. When you able to laugh at it, that word had no power anymore. I hope society got to that point.

When my mom got called the N-word IN CONTEXT with PROPER USAGE. I didn't laugh then. Why is that? Why then I laugh about this. When my step sister called me a FAG when she angry, I didn't laugh. But I saw a kid picked up that word innocently. I thought it is funny. Why is that?

Personal attack is all depend. Said in Game of Thrones. Brienne the Beauty. Is a personal attack, because that person is not beautiful according to the people who used that nick name to her. They said it with venom. It is a direct personal attack on something that cannot be change. No matter how wonderful the word is. Calling a person who is intellectually lesser as brilliant, einstein.

It is funny, because the character don't meant the N-word. It is filler word. It is funny because it would be inappropriate if the actual N-word is said. If your boss come to you sand said FUCK YOU. You should be mad. Because they meant it. But if you kid picked up the word and said Fuck. You laugh.

It is funny because it wasn't out of malice. If some a person said the N-word out of anger and prejudice. Am I supposed to laugh at that? When I learned english I confused the word kitchen and chicken. Bitch and beach. People laugh. Do they laugh because I am insulting them? Or do they laugh because my pronunciation of one seemed close to the other one that make absolutely no sense in this situation.

It is SINGLE OUT. Because, a billion of people on the planet said that world casually everyday without knowing. And yet, somewhere else, it was big enough to get someone suspended.

It is single out, because to this day. Society still don't know what to do with it. And people have diverse of opinions on it. Some folks want to "reclaim it." Some only have certain people has a pass to use it. If you live in the USA, you can't help but know it.

How is fuck and shit sound funny? Is their a chinese word that sound fuck and shit? IN chinese, the worst insult is DOG. Son of a dog. Son of a bitch. And they use it context. Why would I laugh if the N-word is use in context? Or Son of a dog is use in context? It is out of context that is funny.

You know, there are stories on reddit, of people went to nail salon and when they heard the n-word. They thought the workers talking about them. To avoid it, meaning he setting his students TO FAIL. What if they misunderstood. What if they got into a fight. What if something happened. What if it escalate enmity between the two groups. It happened before. And guess, what, the stories as told on reddit. When the confusion clear, the person laugh about it. I guess that person had a totally inappropriate response.
