Give me the name of an African leader that hasn’t locked up his political rivals, shot at protesters, committed genocide, or started a civil war.

Give me the name of an American President who didn’t invade another country, propped up dictators or overthrew democratic governments. 

 

So, can I say that being a psychopath war criminal is a must to be US President?

clearly not well enough , also it s not a racist statement to point out that a minority doesn t know how to  do something.

So you think Black Africans are a minority? That’s just...wow

Yes :whistle:

 

I’d say George Washington maybe, or maybe Wilson?

Claiming that the white oppressors are better then the Black population is. For thousands of years blacks lived off that the land without an issue. The Europeans were the main catalyst for the issues.

In fact saying Mugabe had racial issues against white peoples is a bit funny, since for years Kirsty Coventry (whiter than flour herself) was introduced as the Mugabe´s golden girl. One would even say she was like his daughter seeing how often they were pictured together :d

That’s a pretty racist statement. They farmed those lands for thousands of years. They may not farm the “European” way, but they knew what they were doing.

One doesn't need to farm the 'European' way, one needs to farm in a way that provides them with enough food. Five thousand years ago there were a bit less people to feed, and the results of taking away the farms have been very clear, whatever one's opinion is: it. did. not. work. At all. The whole thing went to shit. I could not care less about the skin colour of whoever provides food, as long as there's enough to keep a country running and it clearly did not work.

 

Yes, I think Zimbabwe should be ruled by 'native' Zimbabweans. No, that doesn't mean some ruling elite should impoverish everyone in his country - black or white - by doing this kind of thing.

    • With the previous version, I was able to copy/paste it into Excel, then filter the data by day...but this version isn't as easily copy/pastable.  Perhaps feeding it through AI to convert it to Excel might do the trick, then can filter it.
    • Is there a website with a day-by-day schedule out anywhere? Hard to follow using the PDF. 
    • Most up-to-date version, having gone through the V3.0 Schedule from the other day.   Enjoy!   I'm enjoying getting to visualize the flow of each sport, using the Composite tab, and of course, each day's tab will be beneficial as we plan how to watch (or visit!) each day.   Does anyone know of an extant list of the chronological order of medals that will be awarded?     la28scheddetailed.xlsx
