I would guess some African thing.
That is so goofy that they are doing that. Africa is a big continent with many different cultures. Black people in the US (and around the world) are not all from the same place.
That is like they are wearing something Asian and claiming that it represents all asian people.

Was friends in college with a guy who had a lion skin and a spear in his dorm room. He had used the spear to kill the lion, but I guess that's something young Swahili men do. Or at least they did back then. He came to school in America on a Baptist Mission Board scholarship.
Frank thought most American blacks were nuts. All this opportunity, all this wealth and they constantly complained about being persecuted.
Don't know how Frank paid for medical school, but last I heard, he was working as a family practice guy in Houston...

If there was only a way we could have caught these sorts of people in the act of expressing their contempt for people they find to be beneath them. Like for instance if there had been a larger group of people who split up into two smaller groups, based on self-selection where one group is the folk who consider themselves superior thinkers and feelers, and the other group just wanted to be able to discuss anything without being interfered with by the self proclaimed superior thinkers and feelers.

It's so cringey it's gross. I'm actually just embarrassed for them. It's Borat without the self-awareness.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

This country has gone completely insane. Every day I wake up and see something even more ridiculous than the last. We've had bearded Incels, sorry I meant libertarians, carrying rifles into government buildings in protest at having to wear a mask, riots and looting in the name of freedom, now we've got what looks like a bunch of extras from Absolutely Fabulous asking people to vote for them.

Repeating my post from elsewhere, specifically in response to Horace's of 9 hours ago and Phibes' just above:
"I wonder if we might validly find hope in the very flagrancy of all this. Surely the very over-the-topness of all that has occurred cannot sustain itself, and a big eyeblink must ensue where people regain their commonsense vision? Where they say, okay, wait a minute, let's take a breath here, dial back the sheer intensity.
How can this mad progression be sustained?"
