>If you're not born somewhere you don't have roots there, you haven't lived the culture as it is. Guessing you're an American then, therefore a racist. Keep telling yourself that James Baldwin or Alexandre Dumas (Alexandre Dumas!!!! the notion gives me a genuine smile, thanks for that) have anything to do with Africa. I hope you get to "go to Africa" (there are hundreds of different ethnic groups there, not very nice of you to lump them all together like they're all the same), you'll see how you're going to be perceived.

>mentions Ayn Rand
>NOOOOO NOT A REAL PHILOSOPHER

>Will you tourists fuck off? Philosophy is powerlifting of the mind and language, it's not some pop shit that even uneducated housewives could parse out a proper understanding of. It requires serious rigor and discipline to penetrate into and acquire even a superficial understanding of, it is not something achieved by passively sitting around and listening to as background noise. You are treating it like fast food in the mere positing of a question like this. Stop posting any time.
