It certainly makes it look like a latrine and smell like a latrine. Being inclined to empiricism in these matters, I will have to take appearance and smell as evidence of their latrine condition.
Leaving aside for the moment your implication that Africa is not civilized (in ironic contradiction to your earlier claim that most Africans live in cities)
You presume incorrectly that cities inherently civilized.
how safe is it to swim in the lower Mississippi?
Safer than just about anywhere in the Niger.
Or as earlier cultural bigotry would have it:: "So respected that it devotes entire issues to the "culture" of jazz?"
Strange. I don't recall any mainstream jazz musician who glorified the great African hip-hop "cultural" contributions of rape and gang shootouts in his music.
As for the charges of PC and pseudointellectuality, you would have to prove those.
Not difficult. It appears throughout the magazines subject matter - hip hop music, slavery reparations, whining about colonial imperialism, whining about the West, whining about the proletariat's "plight," whining about Mumia's plight - and all of it wrapped up in badly translated marxist jargon. It's just the type of thing you'd expect to see in a Nation of Islam bookstore.
Then to claim that the country was a latrine, you would have to show that an entire country looked and smelled like a latrine.
You presume incorrectly that cities inherently civilized.
In that cities are organized communities with governments and laws, I would say that they are inherently civilized in the Latin sense of the word.
Safer than just about anywhere in the Niger.
Perhaps you'd like to take a dip on a lazy, humid, August day?
I don't recall any mainstream jazz musician who glorified the great African hip-hop "cultural" contributions of rape and gang shootouts in his music.
It's actually more common in the Delta blues of the 1920s. Perhaps you can denigrate Mississippi "culture" now.
[...]slavery reparations, whining about colonial imperialism[...]
If you don't think that the crime of slavery should go unpunished, or that colonialism is preferable to freedom, perhaps you should frequent a different forum. This is a site for conservatives who believe in the rule of law and in a higher law and in the God-given right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
and all of it wrapped up in badly translated marxist jargon.
To paraphrase Harvey Mansfield: If you think this is a bad translation, give us a better one.
I decided to spot-check some of your allegations. Where is this "whining" located?
