always makes me think of this account from a peace corp member

This makes me think I missed out on 2 years of comedy. I was all set to to Senegal to teach niggas how to open businesses but they would have required I get a retard vaccine, covid, before I went. So I turned them down. The Peace Corps is funny cause all the safe and interesting countries require you have a bachelor's to go, and it's the shitholes in Africa and South America that only require a high school diploma. Cause I was all set to go teach English in Mongolia till they saw I didn't have a degree.

i hear a lot of very good coffee comes from brazil and ethiopia, too
it's incredible, really, how many amazing natural resources exist in beautiful, ancient lands, the inhabitants of which are usually completely incapable of appreciating them to their fullest

i remember a post of an african man, who has farmed cacao seeds his whole life, first tasting a chocolate bar, the only thing made FROM the very cacao beans he has farmed in his whole life
and it made me wonder- why have these people never expanded on coffee, chocolate, or any other 'exotic' plant they have access to?

i think it's possible that most of them don't know how
many cultures through the world, south americans, north americans and europeans, could taste the cacao and say "well, this isn't very pleasant, but there IS a flavor there that i enjoy, so perhaps we can concentrate or extract it in some way and use it"
the average african simply put it in his mouth, tasted it, said 'dis bad' and spat it out, and did not continue further
they are as a species wholly not curious people

This line of thought is the counterpoint to the bleeding heart narrative that western colonial powers robbed and owe their own wealth to the far off colonies they enslaved. The things that the colonials wanted, and took from their colonies, were not wealth until the will and the knowledge to harvest and make use of the resources came about.
What use does cacao have as a luxury, in its new-world ecosystem? Very little, it's bitter and unpleasant, until the colonial powers come around and combine it with the old-world sugar, completely changing the product. What use to you is a plot of land with oil on it, if you don't know the first thing about how to refine oil? If anything, it's a net negative - it's a pollutant that interferes with other uses of of your land such growing crops or raising a herd.
These things are not, in a vacuum, "wealth", and the natives would never have prospered from this "wealth" until colonized. We're sitting now in perfect hindsight and we think "of course gold is wealth, of course diamonds are wealth, of course copper, zinc, lithium, coffee, cacao, are wealth" but until the regions where these things are sourced from were colonized, they weren't.

Edit: But good luck making any of said bleeding hearts understand this because they're generally not operating on a basis that can be corrected by facts. It's all emotive bullshit, and making them understand the hypothetical "But what if you didn't know how to refine oil?" is a fool's errand.

There are a lot of popular dishes that have come out of Africa, like jollof rice, peanut stew, and the whole of Ethiopian cuisine. Is there any hidden history about the development of these dishes like they came from colonisers (Arabs) or whatever?

Or do our melanated friends actually like cooking.

I'm reminded of "in 1492, the aboriginals discovered Columbus". I don't think gradually migrating over thousands of years over the erstwhile Bering Strait land bridge and into the Americas is the same as setting sail into the great unknown having no idea whether you'll ever come back. Then again I guess Columbus didn't have to deal with megafauna.

I have to disagree with a few of these. Cacao was literally used as currency by Aztecs. Yes it was bitter-tasting without any sugar but its stimulant properties were highly valued. They made some of use of copper as well, including in their weapons. (I'm guessing the cricket bat thing with obsidian blades along its length, called a macuahuitl, is better known.) Also, even as dumb as niggers are, some of them definitely knew about blacksmithing (though my understanding is that Apefrican blacksmiths are often viewed as inscrutable, dangerous sorcerers to this day, which I've talked about elsewhere in this thread) and coffee was originally cultivated by niggers at least half a millennium ago, though they may have been admixed.

It is true that some of the resources cited were used by natives, but the focus I was driving at was the huge disparity of wealth generation in the usage of those resources, namely the ability to be the economic engine of an ocean-spanning global empire. In an inelegant example, the use of copper to blade a war club versus production of copper wire.

The very best coffee in the world comes from there. It's called "Blue Mountain" and it's almost certain your roommate has never tasted it.

This I wholeheartedly agree with. Unfortunately it's so expensive these days. A plantation blend with a touch of rum is to die for. So it's certain none of those niggers have ever bought and appreciated any of it lmao

Edit: fun fact, I first learned about Blue Mountain coffee from Ian Fleming, who drank it regularly on his plantation and mentioned it by name in the Bond novels.

Black supremacists really love this 50 metres tall Senegalese statue. Really shows the superior buildmanship of the Melanated people.

What?

It isn't built by Africans? They were too stupid to do it?

built by Mansudae Overseas Projects, a monument construction company from North Korea.[1]

"African Renaissance", built by Asians. Sums up Africa, really.
 
I have a black friend whom I've known for years. He is a solid guy in real life and there are many good things to say about him, but one thing I cherish is how he always commits to a racist bit. There have been many times that I started saying some vile, racist shit in front of others and he played along without skipping a beat. It always throws people for a loop and we walk away tittering.
