      @@edwardheaney3641 No that is not the point. Westerners built that society that these people try to maintain. While they were given these ideas and society, they were robbed of the chance of doing that themselves. I think one of the reasons why they are not able to create a functional society this way is because they don't feel like it's their. And they feel anger towards europeans and distrust in one another.

      It is probably from the sun, sun exposure and damage over time can cause yellowing of the whites of eyes. People in Australia get it too, if they aren't careful in the sun. It's usually in older people as the damage builds over a long time.

      It's damage caused by the sun. Lots of black people have it but the younger generation doesn't seem to have it that plenty. Not all blacks have it, but the numbers is high

    Golden rule in Africa: ALWAYS GREET FIRST
    LMAO the lady's response is on-par when you don't greet first. You always say, "hello how are you" - or some acknowledgement or greeting.
    I was watching an Annual General Meeting for a business in South Africa, and EVERYONE greeted when it was their turn to speak on Zoom. Even 30 mins into the meeting people who speak would greet.
    Unspoken rule
