Commentary
Left to their own devices, this is how Africans live – and Whites need to stop imposing their liberal values on them.
If you allow them to immigrate to America, they will still want their “right” to have a child bride – this has nothing to do with war or “climate change”. They have no place in our society, and we have none in theirs.
Some people just refuse to believe that their “values” are not only different but completely contrary from our own.
