That's the truth. But to add more: the major inventors of slavery is the Arab world. They hit Africa at the East coast by Mozambique and Tanzania. No one comes close to them in terms of sheer scale, brutality and duration of the slave trade. I don't even understand why anyone mentions slavery...

Uncle Buck, I wish that I could find common ground with you and at least agree on something, and not leave this thread with us on a negative note. But I keep getting insulted and you don't seem interested in a debate. I guess this is the internet.

You guys don't seem to understand that there was nothing here but mud huts and cattle and a scarce local population. Then, some 500 years ago, Europeans got here and started construction. Suddenly, cities, highways, institutions, small states. We tried pulling them into the system, we gave up...

Argumentum ad Hominem (abusive and circumstantial): the fallacy of attacking the character or circumstances of an individual who is advancing a statement or an argument instead of trying to disprove the truth of the statement or the soundness of the argument...

Those cities were all handed over to the local Africans at some point, most of them in this century.

My god. I've never thought of it like that. It's so true its crazy to think of it from that angle. Yes, if our countrymen faired better, there would be less finger pointing at us, not from them, but from the international community. If there is less demonising of whites, then we fair better...

Those are some interesting opinions you have, you got my curiosity that's for sure :D Tell me, in your opinion, do you believe that African people can build and maintain a country or a group of cities? What is your opinion on the disintegrating South African economy? What is your opinion on...

Point acknowledged.. and along those lines, I also noticed similar examples when I was in High School, although I always found them to be the exception. In general, the African kids felt 'forced' to be there, and they behaved accordingly. Makes me think... if only we had a bigger black middle...

I wish. One can remove a tattoo. One cannot laser away the tone of your skin.

Yes, you most certainly have a point. For a period of few hundred years, while Europe was in its grass eating phase, Islam produced more advanced mathematical theory and medicine than the 'West' possessed. To me it seems that their state religion and culture was working very well for them...

Argumentum ad hominem. Please look it up if you don't understand. Also, there are no 'counties' in the rest of the world, that only applies to the country you live in. Lastly, this isn't about me. Or you. It's an exchange of contrasting opinions and viewpoints from around the world.

All you people have so much to say about Racism, and the interests of the political left, when none of you grew up in Africa. None of you saw Africans take down an entire continent within 100 years and plunge it straight back into the dark ages. Do you guys know what happens afterwards...

Reverse?

Wolves don't loose sleep over the opinion of sheep.

Hello Rollitup community. Gender? - My pics are attached. Potency87 - What I'm currently doing is buying from one of these local road-side rastas - the ones with their tables out with merchandise, selling their arts and crafts to US tourists. I can't reveal the location though, just look for...

Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa; I supposedly forced the plant into flowering by placing it in a shady location in order to determine sex. Female? Is it too early to tell? Plant shows some damage from getting too little sunlight. Educate me

Thanks for the tips, Roger. Yip, I'll be as conservative as possible with the quantity of ferts I give the plant. How long should I let the plant reveg for? 3 - 6 months?

I got it this far, but I've reached a point where I don't know when the best time would be to chop off the buds? It was bagseed. I got it to start flowering by placing it in a shady spot. The buds are dirty, that is sand. Wind exposure caused this. The stick is for stability since the plant...
