dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Wait, are you saying a racist might be ignorant about history or anthropology?

[–] StalinsGiantSpoon@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

is he a known racist? i kinda assumed just from this screenshot but otherwise i dont know who this is.

I am guessing the guy in the screenshot might not be, but the title about how Africa didn't have the wheel until colonization made me think whoever made the video is a racist.

Its a bad title but he does specify in the video that hes talking about subsaharan africa

He also talks about how the lack of adoption of the wheel is not out of some technological inferiority but simply because they had other more useful forms of transport instead of wheeled carts that are more suited to the local environment
