stupid people

Marius,
Since we only *hear* things about one another’s countries, help me
understand something. You are very intelligent and I realize you are from
South Africa. My dau’s in-laws were missionaries in Ghana and Ivory Coast,
West Africa. My son-in-law went to school 3 mos, then w/folks 1 mo., etc. He
actually is a man without a country: neither African nor American (as
defined . . . ) as far as culture is concerned. He is a stranger here. That
may explain some of his actions towards Hubby and me.
Anyway, his mom said to me that the Africans were so dumb. There is *proof*
in the USA that a baby must crawl to explore where things go when they fall,
how to figure out how to get around table legs, etc. In other words develop
their minds. I asked his mom if their babies crawled. She thought a second
and said, “No! They are carried around on the mom’s back for 3 years.”
How is it in SA? Are the babies carried? Are there different *classes* of
citizens and some do? Inform us.

    Jan,
    South Africa is probably the “richest” and most “civilized” country
    south of the Sahara desert. All the countries in Africa are mostly
    very poor and very corrupt. The majority of the people are black
    and uneducated. In South Africa, since 1994 when the black
    government took over things are going from bad to worse.
    Black babies DO get carried on their mother’s backs, for what
    reason I don’t know. The black population are not of the most
    intelligent and I say it’s by choice. Black pupils burn down their
    classrooms, go on rampage and even burn their teachers with their
    books. Most of them are uncivilized and we even have a
    sangoma(witchdoctor) in parliament.
    There are some different classes of blacks, some are very posh
    and civilised but that’s the exception rather than the rule.
    The young ones would rather steal for their money than get an

    education.
