Recently the young man known as CatholicCrusader has been engrossed in conversation with dankster312 and buddhagazelle. CatholicCrusader has often professed remarkable beliefs, such as the statement that the state and the church should be one, that syncopated rhythms are evil and should never be heard, and that non-Catholics should be punished with death. But for now I will merely quote his views on Africa, which was a subject brought about by his views on syncopated rhythms:
"the fact that people do something doesn't make it OK. For example, you said 'Africans do this'... well, Africans also practice cannibalism. How can you say cannibalism is evil, since Africans do it? That is your sort of 'logic'."
"Yes, there are Africans who practice/have practiced cannibalism. That doesn't mean all Africans do, just as dankster's comment that "Africans clap and use syncopated beats in music" does not apply to all Africans."
"haven't you ever heard of the "white man's burden"? I think that such is a good idea, but it is misleading in its title. It is called the "white man's burden" in that Europeans ought to spread their culture world-wide. It implies somewhat that only white culture is good, etc., but that is not the case. It is merely a coincidence that the culture of Europe was only white and that the disordered cultures of the East and Africa and the Americas were non-white.That's not to say everything in the Arab, African, Asian, or American Indian cultures is/was bad but merely that those cultures on the whole are inferior to the European culture both in regard to morals, government and simply cultural issues."
"The statement I made was in the context of an argument that was simply trying to illustrate that just because a certain people does something does not mean it's OK. I didn't want to imply that all Africans are cannibals; nevertheless, the uncultured, pagan Africans are more cannibalistic than you seem to want to admit."
Did I mention that this young man is about to commence training to become a priest? |
