after years of seeing the memes, I finally got around to see it
it was pretty funny
I didn't expect it to be only about one chinaman trying to get a truckload of gravel and nothing else lol
they are trying to build this road and infrastructure to get access to mines in Congo, but they are having so much trouble dealing with the locals
they are lazy, don't show up on time, steal equipment and fuel, don't treat their equipment well etc
the only one I felt bad for was Eddy (the translator), he seemed like a smart guy, but he got the blame for everything and the Chinese dude just berated him all the time
overall 8/10
>tfw when boss man shouts "Chinkatanga" at me for standing about, playing with my high viz vest
it's only been 50 years since independence tho
yeah we need at least 10-20 generations to be lazy moronic sacks of shit then we'll build wakanda
this. we just need more gibs and 50, 100 more years
>railroads from the 1930s just rusting away
Best scene in the entire film.
The black guy thinks the Chinese guy is going to congradulate them on getting independence.
Instead, he berates him for doing nothing, and letting all of their stuff turn to shit.
singapore says hi
Lee Kuan Yew is the GOAT but to be fair Singapore is pretty prime real estate and not the poorest shithole on the continent.
Singapore was on a collision course for complete collapse and ethnic civil war when he took power
>it only took 50 years for africans to ruin their countries
Honestly slower than expected, my congratulations for holding out that long.
this shithole is barely 30yrs old and its been down the gutter since 1992
Socialism just works
Is barely 30yrs old and almost destroyed 100+ y/o commie empire.
Now dilate and kys zigger.
No you don't understand, we celebrated it just last week actually
50 years ago china was an impoverished mess run into the ground by mao. today its the second superpower. time isnt an excuse.
Malcolm X only wanted 25 years for US blacks if they had their own ethno-state.

it's just so hilarious
Congo is just not made for industrial society I think
they seem like nice people, very friendly and all, but their mindset is totally different from China (and Europe)
It's almost as if civilizations that never invented the wheel in all of human history aren't built to maintain modern infrastructure.
Remember it took thousands of years to domesticate people to agricultural societies. Hunter/gatherers and subsistence farmers simply don't understand the concepts of time and organization because they have never needed to.
It goes even further back than that. Hunter/gatherers in tropical zones like sub-saharan africa don't have to understand time because there's little seasonality in the available food supply
In colder temperate climates, seasonality is very high so even hunter societies need to think and plan ahead to survive. They also have to co-operate more to get through the Winter.
In case you or anyone reading this post is actually inclined to believe this, the seasonality myth is not and has never been true.
In fact, all of science is a right-wing conspiracy theory.
Actually did you know that race is only skin-deep? Experts with degrees in civil rights studies said so
Can (You) maintain a road?
Yes, but I refuse to do it for free or if there is a chink nagging me all day.
It's simple. A chink paid you money to stand around. If you produce gravel or not the will still pay you money. Why would you actually work? He is obligated by the government to hire you and pay you money to stand around why would you help this dumb chink?
>Why would you actually work? He is obligated by the government to hire you and pay you money to stand around why would you help this dumb chink
Because then you might eventually have paved roads in your country so the 10 mile ride to the UN hospital center isn't a guaranteed death sentence
Why do they need paved roads? They don't even have bicycles. They don't go to the doctor. The road only benefits the government that they don't care about and the chinks who they see as inferior. Frick once the road is built they will just destroy it so they can charge dumb tourists to use the parts that are passable
Cause I'm white, we work. We have an inherent sense of justice that morally compels us to provide value (goods, services, safety, invention, knowledge, etc.) to others even if they give us nothing in return, but especially if they're paying us. We're driven by our nature to do good things.
>We work
Frick off, must white people in this site are neets
Doesn't even change a single thing I said. I'll frick on, while you watch, cuck.
>must
Assuming you meant "most", I don't know if most are, and yeah, the ones who aren't mostly have shitt wagie jobs, but I'm pretty sure they still do their jobs.

Brown people only survive on the charity of white first worlders, either as parasite minorities or from aid
Imagine colonialism but perpetrated by white men not hobbled by Christian pity
>charity
You're being mugged on a racial level and you're coping.
If there were a referendum for all Whites worldwide to never give charity to another race ever again, it would pass. And your israeli masters would just overturn it in court

Pretty much all civilization comes down to whites. It's going to be an interesting world without them.

If you have such a good sense of justice and are driven by your nature to do good things why has your country been infiltrated by pedophile satanists? Why have you exported degenerancy to other countries? Why have you never done anything about the multiple abuses of your goverment mentioned on pic related? You are a prostitute of lucifer, your actions, inactions and symbology show it
Subversive group that's spent nearly a century and trillions of dollars working out how to manipulate the people who gave them shelter?
brown post
You can always tell when it's a brown incel larping as a nazi because of the magical aura they ascribe to israelites and the so-called "pedophile satanists." It's like how their abuelas believe that all owls are demons ir whatever. To them israelites or "satanists" are ubiquitous but invisible imps that cause everything that goes wrong, including making them virgins for life.
>Why would you work to improve infrastructure that would raise your own and your family's quality of which and which you are paid to do, when you can just stand around and do nothing?
South Africa's decline is such kino anthropology, although it's much slower because there are still some whites there and they're pumping foreigners into the country desperately trying to keep things afloat.
We have competing maintence companies getting into gun battles so they can fix the power plants they sabotaged
"only" four hours of power cuts today
And given the thousands of years head start, why did nobody in Africa discover it? It can’t be economic factors this time, shlomo
Technically the wheel thing is false. We have depictions of west Africans using wheels in ancient times. And it’s not like other nations independently invented the wheel either, it was invented in Central Asia and spread from there.
The “muh wheel” thing has always been one of the stupidest gotchas /misc/ pushes.
It's like that across Sub-Saharan Africa. Nothing works. Nobody knows what they're doing. The plumber imitates a plumber, but doesn't know shit about plumbing, he'll put the tiles in upside-down, fail to put a proper fall on the floor, so the water pools, and he won't understand to put the drain at the lowest point, he'll put it at the highest. Nobody knows what they're doing, from top to bottom. Every expert is a fraud. It's tragic. I feel for the guy in the documentary.
My friend's new condo is like that. It has flat sinks in the kitchen and bathroom and a flat shower which all look sleek "modern" but they always leave a shallow pool of water because the drain is level with the bottom, and the rim of the drain is actually higher than the bottom. Pretty sure we're going the same way with how low the bar for entry has been lowered.
We in western countries mocked people who wanted to learn a trade and venerated CSS coders, social influencers and mental health welfare recipients. You'll never guess what happened next
>fail to put a proper fall on the floor
Are you from subsaharan africa? I've never heard anyone refer to pitch as "proper fall."
No, I'm Norwegian. I didn't know it was called pitch in English. Thank you. We call it fall, as in drop..
See
. This isn't a sub-sahara thing. Anywhere on the planet where trade work stagnates creates problems like that.
The current biggest problem with power infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa isn't a lack of coal or wind or solar or gas or anything else... it's transformers and distribution nodes... because they're expensive, have to be custom built (take months to replace) and because Black folk keep smashing them open to sell the metal for scrap and use the dielectric oil for cooking street food.
I wish I was making that up.
>they seem like nice people
They're basically fauna. You may have 1/1000 who are on the cusp of being human but they're just a drop in the bucket.
And these are the people who are now flooding europe.
>And these are the people who are now flooding europe.
to tell them where he got the gravel itself
Even in the west gravel and boulders are a surprisingly expensive resource (literal fricking rocks). If you were a guy that crushed rocks and sold the gravel then you wouldn't tell people where you got the rocks either.

>asks you to do stuff so he can make the road so he can get the diamonds
>don't give a frick about the road or the diamonds

Why would they build a road to get the diamonds? There's nothing in it for them.
Their lives won't change and they like it the way it is.
>There's nothing in it for them.
Stable employment to feed their families?
But they already have enough food to avoid starvation for a day.
But what about tomorrow?
tomorrow?
Yeah, tomorrow? What will you do when it's tomorrow and not today?
But it is today?
See, we can say for certain that you're not autistic, because you've managed to perfectly understand and empathise with the perspective of the average African
They've survived for centuries just fine, tomorrow is already handled.
I don't understand, it's today
But it's today?

MADE IN CHINA
>Made in African country
I bet most of us have literally never bought anything that was made in Africa, unless you visited the continent and bought something there.
well sure ,the african consumer products get steep customs tariffs in developed countries, to favour the local producers, who in turn can cheaply import basic african supplies and process them into consumer products themselves
I had a shirt that was made in Madagascar. But I can't think of anything else
I do find you see more and more of that now with clothing, crumbling Bangladeshi sweatshops aren't cheap enough apparently so you see shit Made in Ethiopia or Haiti now

There's never a point in construction were 5cm of wrong measure ruins anything

For 1 floor foundation, brick laying, columns, beams? na
If you plan to make 2 floors, it's even reasonable
Fricking favelas are all 2 floor shitty houses and they stand fine
If you are aiming to do 3 floors, you may need more accurate shit
>There's never a point in construction were 5cm of wrong measure ruins anything
When you're working with glass, marble, metal or anything else that doesn't have any give then it's problem, larper.
yea i've read a number of stories about contractors being angry at their apprentices for measuring wrong till they compare tape measures and see that the new guy's tape was off by a bit on reddit of all places
same with using squares and other measuring devices, always check it against one you know is true
no problem, the one in the middle is for personal body measurements

all chinese dude wants is some truckloads of gravel kek, it's like a six month fricking process of black inferiority.
Chinese guy refused to understand the inept nature of local corruption and use it to his advantage, he just kept getting frustrated that his straightforward plans weren't working out.
Also he seemed to be at the lowest level of the chinaman the totem pole, the other changs who were clean seemed to look down on him and he was covered in dirt all the time.
yeah he was definitely out of touch, he should have listened to Eddy about how things work there in order to get things done
things like expecting someone to show up 10 am agreed time in Congo is apparently not realistic
brown people time lmao
it's a real thing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_time
It's a real excuse, yes, but it's not a valid thing.
The governments of Europe all insist that importing sub-saharan African men will boost our productivity and benefit the economy.
>governments that lie about genocides and sex and race also lie about their policies
Well you've got your hands full shitposting on Cinemaphile everyday so what are they supposed to do?
Wait, are you seriously not getting paid for this?
This is also kind of stupid. We know chinks don't maintain their equipment. Evidenced by all the chink videos of them dying to their machine overlords. Again why would the Africans take care of the equipment that they barely understand and doesn't belong to them?
I guess all white women frick animals and nis from all the videos
And from the videos you are 100% a troony or a mutt, you haven't realized yet but your flawless statistics don't lie
Because everyone has been brainwashed into believing that africans are good people or that lack of opportunities is the problem, lmao
Wow, it's almost like you were fed propaganda and there's a reason why the chinks are closing in, in terms of gdp, to the us every year.
>by just topping mexico
kek
Chinaman once said; a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
Eddy did nothing wrong. This Chinese guy is lecturing him on European history because the road is run down and he just looks at him like “what do you expect me to do?” Interesting documentary.
yeah exactly I'm not sure what the chink expected Eddy to do about it personally
Eddy received the brunt of Chang's criticism just because he was the only black with a high enough IQ to know how fricked the situation was. Chang didn't have anyone else to rant to since the other Chinese were his superiors who only cared about results, while the other Africans were too dumb to even know they're dumb. Even though Eddy was the only competent black, he was the only real outlet Chang had to vent his frustrations to. Very complex yet tragic "friend"ship between them
>Eddy did nothing wrong.
He stayed
Eddy could be a normal manager in any other part of the world
I dunno, he obviously does care a lot about his country, and it's going to need as many people like him as it can get if it's going to survive. Just abandoning his countrymen wouldn't be right
Maybe, but he also didn't try to change them for the better
If your countrymen are a bunch of monkeys, you should lean for the chink treatment of "they should do better", not Eddy's treatment of "using them as they are"
>you should lean for the chink treatment of "they should do better"
The problem there is the Chinks are myopic and think they can just snap their fingers and demand the Congolese stop having an average IQ of 65, because they're so used to living in a country where people just do as they're told. Past a certain point, you have to just use them as they are. Eddy knows he's surrounded by morons, his approach is to just attempt to steer towards at least being being high-functioning morons, while Yang holds out hope that one day they'll just agree to cut the bullshit and remove the crayons from their brains
>The problem there is the Chinks are myopic and think they can just snap their fingers and demand the Congolese stop having an average IQ of 65, because they're so used to living in a country where people just do as they're told.
you make it sound like the Chinese are bullying the Congolese, but the way i suppose it works, is that both parties have an agreement, but the Congolese lied. they took the profit from the deal, knowing full well, that their subordinates would not fulfill the promise. in a way i can see them wanting to hinder the Chinese the same way Eddy did, when he started talking Swahili with the gravelBlack.
>bullying the Congolese
More that they don't know how to handle them. It's not like domestic Chinese industry is free of that sort of bullshit, suppliers knowingly misrepresenting materials or couriers bullshitting delivery schedules, etc., but Chinamen know how to deal with other Chinamen so that they can usually resolve it in a relatively timely and satisfying manner. But the Congolese don't act like Chinamen, and the Chinamen are surprised that they can't deal with Congolese bullshit artists in the same way they'd deal with Chinese ones
I'm sure things changed a lot in the last 12 years right?
Frick you Eddy apologists. He was trying to undermine Lao's operation since the start
He was trying to trick the African guy, Eddy and Lao both know the rock company owner is incompetent so they just wanted to circumvent him and deal with the quarry directly and buy out the African guy's equipment.
>daddy wants it
Okay so they get some things right.
Huh, I always wondered why hundreds of years of mixing with whites in the USA hadn't made them any smarter, but the horrifying truth is that it has.
I thought it did though, I thought african americans have high iqs than africans, just like asian americans are taller, and have bigger dicks than asians from asia
He's saying that he didn't realize how extensively Africans in the US had been uplifted from the base population.

Congo...
There's something about that word that leaves a strange sensation after pronouncing it.
Congo!
I am really curious about it now. Especially since the chinks got their claws deeper into Congo now. It is still as fricking shit?
I haven't seen it for a long time. But, it was pretty prescient for what was to come in the West. I doubt the filmmakers were aware of what they were making. Now, the Chinese and the israelites have flooded the West with these people.
Why are the chinese even aloud to come in and have access to they're mines. Frick off back to china
The governments in Africa can't do frick all with the mines, cause Africans are fricking moronic. But they CAN claim these mines they have no right to, simply because it's on land that they also have no right to, cause "white man bad", and the UN and shit back them up. Then they sell the rights to mine these mines to Chinks and other semi-competent quasi-humans.
A poor country doesn't have the money or expertise to do anything with their ores. So they offer to sell the rights to their minerals to foreign companies who will come and invest their own money into building the mine and selling off the resources. These sales will also generate taxes for the government on top of the mineral rights fees.
Happens everywhere, not just in Africa.

not seen it but from what I've seen and heard about the whole thing it sounds like he was too connected family-wise to be fired outright by whatever company wanted rid of him so he was basically sent on a wild goose chase to some African shithole no-one could possibly have achieved
but idk. is there some redemption arc where he pulls it off against all odds or what?
nah it's a very small scope documentary
1 hour and 17 minutes about him trying to get gravel for his site
there are some commentaries about Africa, China, the legacy of colonialism etc, but nothing changes by the end of the docu
the main chink doesn't get a backstory afaik, but he is clearly below the other chinese guys there
doesn't sound like theres any point to the documentary in that case then other than some pathetic chud masturbationfest about how dumb Black folk are by way of some chinese film company /misc/ just happened upon somehow
just watch it, or don't. why have such a strong opinion about it otherwise?
I don't
I'm casually speculating about a documentary I don't care about and am never going to watch entirely on account of chuds on Cinemaphile's actual obsession with it
this is my first and likely last time ever inquiring
i'd try to convince you otherwise, but since you got double digits twice in a row, i will leave you in peace.
>doesn't sound like theres any point to the documentary in that case then other than some pathetic chud masturbationfest about how dumb Black folk are by way of some chinese film company /misc/ just happened upon somehow
He said casually.
it's not, it's a legit documentary made by a Belgian film crew
the reason chuds like it is because it's very unfiltered, you get a real look at how dynamics work in Africa and the problems outsiders encounter there
just because it confirms stereotypes doesn't mean it's bad
but do whatever you want man
>just because it confirms stereotypes doesn't mean it's bad
he just needed to get some gravel bro
This poster is a transvestite and/or browncel
.. and?
He doesn't know that that invalidates him, and thus everything he says.
Why do you think it’s okay to use the n word?
Why do you think it isn’t?
I don’t but the homosexual I was responding to is gay and weak

"in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king"
It's funny.
What's not addressed in the film is the REASON why the railroad tracks are all fricked up, is because the local community of BLACK AFRICANS routinely steal track ballast and use it for whatever, because they have no fricking clue how railroads work.
Such a simple concept, and these dumbasses never cared to learn about it.
And of course, that's the least of their problems.
Forgot link in case there are any other dumb Black folk ITT who don't understand this concept
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_ballast
jesus lmao, no wonder these things were neglected
also worth mentioning, the belgian government wanted to leave in a slow, orderly fashion, with time to train locals as their replacements, but the totally organic mobs said "no!"
total coincidence that this was at the peak of the cold war
>any other dumb Black folk ITT
first time i hear of this
You are the dumb Black person.
It's a prisoners dilemma, then whitoids go and blame all black people for it.
If it only takes a handful of people to ruin a system, and they keep ruining it, you learn to live without that system and you don't care about it being maintained because
1) You don't need it
2) You know morons will undo any effort towards it
corruption, ignorance, and apathy will never make a country great. it's starting here too with all the "quiet quitting" and entitled zoomers wanting to get paid for breathing
As someone who has had to deal with two-faced liars like the Chinese in industrial manufacturing I'm glad that shit is going bad for them in Africa. Now they get to understand how the West feels when dealing with their bullshit.
I feel for you, bro. My last job was contracting Chinese factories to make consumer products and 99% of my job was making sure they weren't fricking us over by lying about production. Absolutely exhausting to deal with these people day in and day out knowing that the moment they see a sign of inattentiveness from you they'll claim delays and see nothing wrong with fricking your deadlines.
Indians are no better. They're always trying to sneak shit by you or bully you into giving the extra concessions after everything is signed and finalized.

Any white who can't relate to Eddy has no idea what is going on in their country.
China should just adopt the Hands for Belgium strategy.
for what reason were they chopping off little kids hands?
didn't meet rubber quotas, pretty silly in hindsight
Might seem unfair to you kids today.
>you didn't harvest rubber efficiently enough
>we will increase efficiency by taking something you need to be efficient
Now it takes two to carry a full basket. It's inefficient regardless of time period
>>we will increase efficiency by taking something you need
They were actually just supposed to shoot the workers dead and replace them. The hands were supposed to be cut off the corpse as evidence of the kill. That was the directive given by the Belgian govt, but the colonial admins recognised that it'd be a massive waste of resources to constantly have to replace labourers outright, so they settled for just taking one hand in order to falsify the kill without completely losing a labourer and having to go find another
they wanted hands
what other reason do they need?
"i said FARM hands you dimwit!"
They did it for centuries but when the Belgiun king -unknown to the people o Belgium- had rubber quotas and locals continued to do it to each other, the Belgiuns inherited all guilt for all time.
You have to hand it to them.
Where's Eddy now? Did he make it?
black africans can't be helped, for example whites will come to a village with no water dig a well so they have clean drinking water. As soon as the whites leave the africans will strip all the metal and electronics off the well to sell for scrap metal for pennies and then go back to having no water to drink.
Black africans are not white people that are simply very poor they are 85 iq at best and can only prosper if ruled by an outside source, this is reality.
Holy shit
Those guys were literally joking. Not about waiting by the truck, which is dumb as frick but something they would absolutely do, but the "just over a year" was a joke. Third worlders think it's hilarious that Westerners take everything they say at face value like they're kids
Yeah but the worst part of all is that it's reasonable and rational to believe Africans would do that, due to Africanity.
>seemed like a smart guy
In the rather infamous webm, he tries to use a comparatively recent state of independence as an excuse for the poor state of the nation, and Ching Chong immediately shuts him down by saying that the entirety of their current technology was left by their former rulers, who they were meant to learn from.
The implication being that Edward was trying to pretend that the nation was starting anew, that it would need to quite literally reinvent the wheel and it had nothing but dust to work from, when everything is to the contrary.
His people are stupid, his faith in them is misplaced, they learned nothing and deserve the consequences of their failed independence and the inevitable rulers who will follow it.
>His people are stupid, his faith in them is misplaced, they learned nothing and deserve the consequences of their failed independence and the inevitable rulers who will follow it.
Eddie is a good dude, he was young and had misplaced faith in the rest.
He also shouldn't be a hypocrite like Chang that was wanking China to high heavens while ignoring that they also still have rural shitholes that they forget to improve too.
>His people are stupid, his faith in them is misplaced
Who is he supposed to put his faith in then? Surely not the other races who despise his own.
The problem is that Eddie is probably the smartest Black in Congo as he actually learned Chinese. Majoirty of his people are actual morons with no basic skills of how to plumb, mine maintain or build anything
>The problem is that Eddie is probably the smartest Black in Congo as he actually learned Chinese.
The politician looked smart until he started talking about the power outages and how he need "a little more time".
He was wanking the Chinese and how they can provide for Congo, but then he kneecaps them lmao.
Fricking snakes in every fricking country.
Wahhh why aren’t the natives copying our industrial hell society???
They had a chance to build their own thing, but they blew it.
Imagine if (You) inherited a decent company and some knowledge on how to use it, you instead blow all the resources in a weekend in b***hes and blow. That's how you become Congo.
True true
>Dedicates ten years of their lives to get enough money to pay a criminal to ship them to said industrial hell and hopefully not drown in the ocean
>trying to get a truckload of gravel
LMAO why is he standing like that even Eddy looks confused.
His connection to the hivemind was temporarily cut-off, so he defaulted to his binding pose
this yellow homie has a very cinematic appearance and almost like he has soul
he kinda looks like tired chow yun fat
he looks like asian Kyle Chandler
a bit yea
Morning tai chi routine
>Dr. Eddy, I'm CREC
>Yang, if you want to fit in, you need to act like a coon
>A 'coon? Well, if you insist
Explains everything.
How do the Chinese view this film?
On a television?
In widescreen.
Through very slanted eyes.
Like so
Lost
You got me good Black person.
probably shocked the west ever accomplished anything when we spend so much time and money babysitting these morons
The ones I know just accept it as a thing and move on. You really can't understand how hopeless blacks look to Asians. It's not just sunk cost, it's a plague that will destroy all civilization.
it just reinforce their stereotypes that all blacks are moronic
I wonder where Eddie is today.
The Congo, probably.
he's probably still preventing Lao from getting that gravel, while playing the victim.
There are many anticolonial novels that Leftists love to tout as leftist, but this could not be further from the truth. The implicit message of many of them, especially Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, is that prolonged exposure to black and brown people and their way of living drives White people completely insane. This thread makes me think of Heart of Darkness
damn op, where did you find such a high res photo? is this finally out on bluray?
i want more of this kind of film
post similar documentaries/kinos
How do we save the Congo? How do we save Eddie?
fly him and his friends over here and give them money
Why do blacks have so little care for the places and communities they live in? It's like they're lacking the part of the psyche that enables them to understand that working with other people to improve a commune is beneficial to the whole group including them. Which is really strange because you'd think that was a pretty base instinct that humans evolved because it was evolutionarily advantageous.
I live in a block of 8 flats: 5 white, 1 Vietnamese, 1 Indian and 1 full of Nigerians. Everyone does their part taking bins out, cleaning the stairwell, gardening etc. Except guess who? They leave trash everywhere, refuse to pay for communal repairs, randomly start playing fricking awful afropop shit at 2am. As an experiment we all stopped emptying the bins to see what they would do and they just started piling bags next to the overflowing bin. They could literally have just taken the bins out themselves to have them collected by the bin truck but they wouldn't even do that.
Everyone has stories like this and it's always blacks. It's the same in the US, I see these "deprived communities" in documentaries and even if they're poor, they could massively improve their area by just tidying up, not vandalising everything etc. But they seem actually incapable of it.
Like I lot of people I didn't put much stock in racial differences until I encountered black people in a meaningful way. I'm not even racist I don't hate them (mostly) I just find them fundamentally different to the rest of us.
I live in Chicago. The worst areas are all mostly black. And when there are groups of people destroying things in the nice areas, guess who are the culprits. The last time was on a Monday night right by the train stop, so these people just took the train to destroy other neighborhoods. They call these swarms of criminals a "teen takeover". I can't tell for sure if they're teens or people in their twenties but I can sure tell another characteristic about them.
It used to be that all the crime was mostly in just a few neighborhoods, but for the past few years things have gotten steadily worse for some reason.
>they're lacking the part of the psyche that enables them to understand that working with other people to improve a commune is beneficial to the whole group including them.
Nail on head. You have no idea how bad things really are.
>that webm
Bullshit.
It was probably whipped for hours on end until it managed to get the lines right. I doubt if it even has any concept of what it's drawing, just knows that's what it's supposed to do.
It's not hard if you never feel threatened
even the guns don't matter to them, they never figured out how the afterlife works
they just figure "YOLO" and that's it
of course, if there were an actual tribe that had layers, the movie would have not been a better success and we wouldn't have this thread
>they never figured out how the afterlife works
There isn't one.
>Why do blacks have so little care for the places and communities they live in?
Because you do. You're all wageys unironically.
oi do you have a social experimenting loicense?
>I'm not even racist I don't hate them (mostly) I just find them fundamentally different to the rest of us.
Welcome to 90% of people called racist, including all history taught in schools.
truly the Sorcerer of our time
It's going to be so fricking funny watching the population of ongo bongo savages shot up to 2 billion over the next few decades while Western leftists desperately try to convince us that it's all our fault and we have a responsibility to go over there and personally spoonfeed them like babies. Meanwhile they're setting each other on fire for the crime of not getting malaria and raping children because they think it cures AIDS.
I think about both Eddy and the chinese guy sometimes. I hope they are doing well and happy.
why won't they release the Blu-ray?
