These backward trashy destroyers that have no scientific legacy or musical background.
No Brahms, no Mozart, no Beethoven, no Debussy, no Tchaikovsky , no Bach, no Chopin, no Wagner, no Vivaldi, no Hayden,…
No Archimedes, no Cai Lun , no Thomas Edison , no Sir Isaac Newton, no Karl Benz!!!
No scientists as Marie Curie, no Albert Einstein, no Jane Goodall, no Sir Francis Galton, no Jacques Ives Cousteau , on Hans Hass, no Ruth Gates... make the rules now?

I dare say their patent offices were hidden deep underground next to their universities to prevent theft of intellectual property eg the circular wheel.
Cecil John Rhodes came too late to build them roads so they relied upon elephant paths to guide them.
Fewer than 100 civilized persons had set blue and green eyes upon the Victoria Falls and already a monumental bridge was under construction. its still in use by cars and trains and bungy-jumpers.
.
Nobody stopped them building their OWN bridges. Nobody stopped them building their OWN hydro-electric dam at Kariba.
They were tripping over the diamonds prior to civilzation, trade, industry and commerce.
They moan because "White Monopoly Power" is too "Euro-centric" but nothing stopped them developing their OWN businesses into "Afro-centric" corporations.
Liberals foolishly assume all life-forms share the same intrinsic thought-patterns and values and capacities but the differences go FAR beyond colour.
I could explain for hours, days and weeks.

Yes thank you. I watched that Rhodes series in the late 1980's and will always keep it in my collection.
The series mentions Kimberley where a 90m Colesburg hill was converted into one of the biggest man-made holes in search of diamonds.
It fails to mention the Brits moved border posts whereby Kimberley would fall under the British controlled Cape province instead of the Boer's Orange Free State.
Not content with diamonds, Rhodes sent Rhodesian troops to invade ZAR / Transvaal to steal Boer gold. The invasion was commemorated by a Boer stone monument at Paardekraal, near a lion park where suntans stole fencing for their nearby squatter camp. You could not make it up. Nor could I. So I didn't.
In theory, the invasion was to help disgruntled English gold miners. In reality, they were blissfully unaware of their alleged grievances until they were printed in the newspapers.
Suntans, fresh from the bush, would work on the mines. If asked to fetch a wheel-barrow, they would literally carry it.
The main actor who plays Rhodes; Martin Shaw, is almost identical to a sister's ex-boyfriend.
I had 14,000 documentaries. Many are historical,
I recommend
01 ) "Zulu dawn" - a 1964 Michael Caine movie.
02 ) "Circles in a forest" - drama - anti wood-cutter snobbery - low prices paid by deceptively claiming wood delivered was never the type needed - hard for railway sleepers / soft for furniture etc.
03 ) "Feast of the uninvited" - Redcoats burning farmhouses and crops, stealing or bayonetting livestock, kidnapping innocent Boer women and children - 27,500 died in concentration camp tents due to maltreatment, starvation eg Lizzie van Zyl below. Kids were fed glass sandwiches and denied medical attention,
The link below lets you scroll down and download a book about an ACCURATE Boer prophet who died in 1926. God will redirect the pendulum to swing and it will not swing alone.

You won't expect me to thank you profusely. I reckon she's a mind-controlled puppet.
