Meet the most emasculated tribe on Earth. The Semai people and their horrific fate.

[Swahili P'Bitek]

Terrible.But its absurd trying to compare African descendants in the new world to this tribe. From the rebellions of Zumbi in Brazil, Nat Turner, Dutty bookman in haiti etc. shows that Africans are a proud people despite being outgunned in these situations on top of sabotage from other Africans as well, as was the case in many independence struggles in the continent.

Bumping due to the recent amount of c00ning among Black ppl.

we're fukked up.. I don't think we're that fukked up

 

[Luke Cage]

Reminds me of that Asian dude who was holding hands with his girl while some american white guy made out with her. He just stood their holding her hand, waiting for them to finish.

I remember saying one time I wish we could just give the north west to "progressives" so they could have their gay socialist utopia.

This tribe is exactly how that experiment would end up...

Tl;Dr

They used to be like any other tribe but due to multiple raids by a more powerful ethnic group, who used to take their women and children as sex slaves, they were beat into submission and eventually adopted an extremely pacifist philosophy. This has manifested in many ways: no social hierarchy, no gender roles, an extreme inferiority complex vs the dominant Malay tribe etc..

There are lessons to be learned from their fate

This was years ago, i don't remember what i was talking about.

Anyway, I found it interesting how the men became soldiers for the British and were hyper aggressive....

But when they went back, were peaceful.

That's... actually encouraging, because that shows violence isn't inherent to men. Culture can fix it.

Shouldn't be this culture tho

 

[Ghost Utmost]

At first I thought they were just cool like dat.

Sounds reasonable to be all egalitarian and shyt

But after reading the part about them being beat into this position... its actually scary

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY THE GENDER ROLES FOR BLACK PEOPLE ARE OFF

mannish women, bish ass men, unruly kids, and general chaos socially

I knew outside factors could contribute but this story scared me how the effects of abuse can last generations

 

[FaTaL]

 

[NZA]

they remind me of that father and son that got beaten up over a fender bender recently

 

[ignorethis]

Whenever you run into an "egalitarian" culture, it usually just means that the men in that culture got conquered previously in history and their conquerors put their women on the same level or above them.

We've been known this in Biafra.

They got so emasculated that they were forced to watch their wives and children get violated in front of them. The Malay nikkas would slap them around as they took turns smashing their womenfolk

Instead of fighting back they became extremely passive. The oppression ended up impacting the very structure of their society to it's core for centuries.

are the women thick?
