I don't know about Uganda, but I had a Nigerian friend whose mother was a "witch doctor." That just meant she was an herbalist, not one who cast spells and spilled blood.
I worked around Gurkha mercenaries in Iraq, they still get work. They are a polite and sweet people, I can picture a Gurkha whispering, "Thank you, suh!", as he silently ends my life.
The guest was just awful. He kept making such dumb jokes and compared himself growing up in a “bad neighborhood” to systemically oppressed people in Africa, like…not just ignorant but also not funny.
@@icedfruitypatootie I think a Black American has the right to do that. But I bet you thought he just didn't "sound Black enough" for that possibility to cross your mind and didn't care enough to look up who he was. So let's not talk about who's ignorant here.
@@icedfruitypatootie Black Americans are not also systematically oppressed and aren't able to make jokes about it comparing it to our kin still in Africa or else that's "ignorant" ? Thanks for your input on our own lived struggle.
@@williampounds5191it is ignorant because the struggle is not the same. I’m a non-US American black person and I stand for what I said, take that passive aggressiveness somewhere else.
Excellent podcast! over the last few days I've been mixing Robert evens quotes, and all I can say is If Jimmy Buffet carried out a massacre it would look like this... Classic Marx!

Yeah so far this has been the only guest I have actively disliked, he was incredibly annoying and contributed nothing of value, just eyerolls.
