“The African Conception of Time”
From Polish Author Ryszard Kapuściński’s Book ‘The Shadow of the Sun’, about his time in Africa
“We climb into the bus and sit down. At this point there is a risk of culture clash, of collisions and conflict. It will undoubtedly occur if the passenger is a foreigner who doesn’t know Africa. Someone like that wil start looking around, squirming, inquiring “When will the bus leave?"
“What do you mean, when?” The astonished driver will reply. “It will leave when we find enough people to fill it up."
The Europeans and the Africans have an entirely different concept of time. In the European worldview, time exists outside man, exists objectively, and has measurable and linear characteristics. According to Newton, time is absolute: “Absolute, true, mathematical time of itself and from its own nature, it flows equably and without relation to anything external”.
The European feels himself to be time’s slave, dependent on it, subject to it. To exist and function, he must observe its ironclad, inviolate laws, its inflexible principles and rules. He must need deadlines, dates, days and hours. He moves within the rigor of time and cannot exist outside them. They impose upon him their requirements and quotas. An unresolvable conflict exists between man and time, one that always ends with man’s defeat - time annihilates him.
Africans apprehend time differently. For them, it is much looser concept, more open, elastic, subjective. It is a man who influences time, its shape, course and rhythm (man acting, of course, with the consent of gods and ancestors). Time is even something that that man can create outright, for time is made manifest through events, and whether an event takes place or not depends, after all, on man alone. If two armies do not engage in a battle, then that battle will not occur (in other words, time will not have revealed its presence, will not have come into being).
Time appears as a result of our actions, and vanishes when we neglect or ignore it. It is something that springs to life under our influence, but falls into a state of hibernation, even non-existence, if we do not direct our energy towards it. It is a subservient, passive essence, and, most importantly, one dependent on man.
The absolute opposite of time as it is understood in the European worldview.
In practical terms, this means that if you go to a village where a meeting is scheduled for the afternoon but find no one at the appointed spot, asking “When will the meeting take place?" makes no sense. You know the answer: “It will take place when people come”.
Therefore the African who boards a bus sits down in a vacant seat, and immediately falls into a state in which he spends a great portion of his life: a benumbed waiting.”

Incidentally, I just saw the Smithsonian poster on whiteness culture again for the first time in a few years. It includes "future orientation" & "planning for the future" implying other cultures might not plan for the future

TikTok has overhauled its hate speech rules, banning users from calling the IDF “terrorists” and narrowing its policy on supremacy from covering “all racial supremacy” to only “White supremacy.”
The shift came just 15 days after the company hired Erica Mindel, a former IDF instructor and self-described “proud Zionist,” as its Public Policy Manager for Hate Speech.

MILLING AROUND: A Spotter’s Guide
“Milling Around” is the activity one engages in when one engages in no activity at all - and in an egregiously aimless form is particularly common among Third Worlders. You may often see them in groups just doing nothing. A brief guide to types:
