@@the13nth25 Glad to, basically the Rwandese government is using the M23 rebels which is composed of mostly the Rwandese Defense Force to displaced civilians from their lands, these lands contains lots minerals used mainly electric car batteries and mobile phones, they they are killing civilians who to want to move from their ancestral lands, abusing women and children, just son they can still the minerals and sell it to the west. When the new Congolese government came into power, the president tried to work with Kagame to make a win win deal, but Kagame refused and continued send the Rwandese military into Congo to steal the minerals to support his government.

He is not a "black man" like you. Completely different pedigree. He is from New York City, probably of Dutch origin, and he went to the nation's most prestigious high school then went on to an Ivy League. But all you see is skin color then automatically think you or people you know are somehow entitled to something he has.

During slavery and immediately afterwards, Black inventors faced immense challenges due to discriminatory laws and systemic barriers. I would like to see acknowledgement of those Black inventors who were excluded from obtaining patents because they were black. Or to obtain a certain patent, they had to partner with someone white.
