    Correct, Mali government just kicked out the French for its perceived eurocentric attitude towards African ppl. You asked how whites are eurocentric and igave you a first hand example, that is all.

    All advanced nations have social safety net policies, some more extensive than ours, and you call them “Marxist” policies. So you are saying Christ would not approve. They are unChristian? That’s pretty strange.

    You are the one that keeps bringing up a single race about how letting Blacks live on the government “plantation” to insure the Democratic vote conspiracy (which whites are immune to). Far out man.

    Christ "might" approve of those nations but He is probably indifferent. His desire is for the individual to give out of heart. Edna, when you pay taxes (if in fact you do pay taxes) are you just overwhelmingly grateful that the money they take from you is going to feed those in need? Are you aware there are multiple government elitists with their hand in the till?

    Safety nets often turn in to a "way of life". Even Clinton tried to do something about that. More like "work fare" but the Biden CrimeFamily gave it away.

    Marxists do see it as flamebaiting because to them Government is the supreme being and they rely on it to give to those in need. It's always fun to direct someone else's money. When the shoe fits....you need to wear it!

    If African American descendants of slaves get reparations are the descendants of union soldiers going to get reparations for fighting to free the slaves?

    Good! The evil French are gone. Long live Mali.... Now, since all that was last year, the heroic Mali government needs move on to address something beyond "eurocentrics" and grapple with a more pressing concern -- like STARVATION.

    Ever notice what lots of these third-world countries have in common? https://apnews.com/article/hunger-africa-sahel-jihadi-violence-7c9e54def06b88d0e60b9e53a814301f

    But when the UN starts collecting tons of free food to donate to these stricken countries they should be certain not to accept any donations from the evil French or anybody in Europe, or anybody in the United States!

    Sure, if you say so.
    But they are also a very very very small percent of the people. AS I SAID.

    Yes, our evil eurocentric culture is flooded with pictures of starving children all over Africa and we respond by sending food by the truckloads! Those poor children often live and become a part of that starving culture because of their resistance to change. We should all feel guilty!

    Good, I'm glad we established that Mali kicked out the French at last, very recently actually. Most Americans will be unaware of this. It only happened last year but the fall out will continue for a while yet it would seem but it's a start. Now that the Russians have taken over from french security forces, perhaps Mali's government can install its own rules from here on, without the yoke of eurocentric beaurocracy.

    Don't get me started on "aid". That's a Trojan horse.

    One of many right-wing conspiracy theories. The median income of African Americans is $46,400 and 90% plus vote Democrat. A greater number of whites are dependent on "welfare" than Blacks. They live in rural areas and small towns and a lot of them vote mostly Republican. I think the problem is the "conspiracy" was theorized by racists..... and they belong to what party?.

    "Christ 'might' approve"? I think you are over rationalizing your lack of Christian love for your fellow man. I wish more of my taxes went to programs to help the poor. We need subsidized daycare. That would allow a parent with children to take a low paying job because otherwise she couldn't afford daycare. The right likes to cherry pick "welfare" examples that are "a way of life" while most are on it during rough periods of their life. Those that are on it as "a way of life" for generations, whether its in the ghetto or Appalachia, that is dysfunctional and they need help too.

    But you don't have ANY say as to what is done with your money. That is why it is imperative you seek out individuals in need, access their need, and then give according to how you feel led. Is that too much to ask edna? Or do you prefer to just give that "burden" to government because they always know what's best? I think you put too much faith in government. One charity I have looked into has a record of 95% efficiency. That is pretty remarkable considering government is about 20% in their efficiency.
    Better yet edna, you just give your money and time to the poor personally. That is 100% efficiency!
    Yes we need subsidized daycare by government because government encouraged young women to have children out of wedlock by paying them to have children that way. They have influenced the culture to see them as "Daddy"!

    Before you get started be sure to include private giving .....not just government aid.

    Dang, I was sure it was the typical MAGA response. It has to be the reason.

    why do you assume everyone who isn't a welfare socialist, wokeflake, progressive or gun banner has to be a MAGA follower.

    Would private giving include "corporations"? Or are you referring to individuals donations of $20 [for example]?

    No I am referring to in specific "Christian Charities, Catholic Charities and Private Secular charities. Individuals often donate far more than $20. Is that a government restriction you had in mind? Everyone is free to give! And they do!!

    It is obvious Democrats don't want to Make America Great Again. They, in the last four years have drug us down toward the lowest common denominator, something they need to do for the success of "globalism". Be careful how you dis MAGA. It may come back to bite you.

    I'm not as concerned with Christian charities as I am with government aid.

    The Mali government had better be careful, because the last time I checked, the portion of Russia that runs everything of any real importance is west of the Ural Mountains -- and thus -- European! (Ooh! :eekeyes: ). You think Russia might exhibit actions consistent with your concept of "eurocentric"?

    Here's a little something you may enjoy poring through, and if you do, ask yourself, "How much would Russia be supportive of something like 'reparations'?" :roll:. Link - https://www.bloomsburycollections.c...-romanovs-to-putin/ch4-white-rage?from=search
