Old fashion whipping

@Steve1408 Most do, actually. While many Africans are aware of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, perspectives are varied, ranging from strong solidarity to detachment or skepticism. Some Africans feel the movement focuses on American issues and is disconnected from African realities, while others view it as a global movement against structural racism and white supremacy.
Many Africans, particularly youth, have expressed solidarity with BLM, recognizing common issues of colonial-era structural racism and police brutality.
Some Africans find the movement irrelevant to their daily challenges, or feel it focuses too much on American issues. Others are skeptical of the movement's goals or feel that it doesn't represent the diverse experiences of people across Africa.
Many argue that Africans should focus on their own local issues of injustice and inequality, such as police brutality in their own countries, rather than importing American issues.
Some feel that the racial dynamics in the US are different from those in African countries.

Ultimately, the understanding and engagement with BLM in Africa is diverse, with some engaging directly with the movement and others feeling it is not relevant to their own experiences.

@ZZZQuill Whipping in traditional African contexts and whipping by slave owners in the Americas represent vastly different systems of power, purpose, and brutality. While both are forms of corporal punishment, they are distinguished by the intent to reform versus the intent to break, the existence of cultural norms versus total property-based violence, and the role of the person being punished.

Whipping in the context of American and Caribbean slavery was an instrument of racialised terror, designed to dehumanise and enforce absolute control.
Enslaved people were viewed as property (chattel) with zero rights. Whipping was a tool for enforcing labor, preventing escape, and maintaining a strict racial social order.
Punishment often blurred with torture, frequently for minor infractions (e.g., a pot boiling over). It was rarely proportional to the "offense."
Whippings were often public and sexualised, involving stripping enslaved people to expose their bodies and humiliate them, often aimed at pregnant women or children.
The brutality was designed to crush any hope of rebellion and break the spirit of resistance, frequently resulting in permanent scarring, maiming, or death.

Whipping in African Culture (Traditional Contexts)
Corporal punishment, including whipping or canning, exists in many African cultures as a form of social regulation, but it differs fundamentally in its social function.
Within traditional settings, it is often viewed by proponents as "child-rearing" or a way to enforce social norms, not to kill or incapacitate the person.
It is often seen as a necessary "corrective" measure for misbehaviour, rooted in the belief that it is an act of discipline that "saves" the child from worse consequences, rather than an arbitrary act of hate.
It is generally applied by elders, parents, or teachers who are seen to have a "caregiver" role, and is often applied to younger members of the community to ensure adherence to social norms.
Unlike slave whipping, which is based on the idea that the person is a subhuman object to be exploited for profit, traditional corporal punishment is aimed at correcting a behavior within a community of fellow humans.

Slavery-related whipping was meant to dehumanize and maximize labor output through terror. Traditional African whipping is meant to correct, discipline, and bring an individual back into the social fold.
Slave whipping involved an inhuman, racialized power dynamic of "owner" versus "property". Traditional whipping exists within a community structure where the person is still considered a member of that community.
While traditional corporal punishment is increasingly criticized as abuse, it was generally designed to cause temporary pain for discipline, whereas slavery whipping was designed to cause lasting injury, disfigurement, or death.

I personally, of course, HATE corporal punishment (especially towards children) and I hope Africans grow it out of their culture

@americanweeg unfortunately the brainless fagot is back. Fucking the site up again!
