#1 “If a chief visits a place and immediately after his departure rain falls, he is regarded as being beloved of the rain-gods and he must be worshipped. (“Indaba my children” – Chapter: “The religion and beliefs of the Bantu – II”, page 657)

#4 "Underclass"? Clearly the good sheriff has studied his Sowell and Dalrymple. Thomas Sowell in 2001:

A recently published book titled Life at the Bottom paints a brilliantly insightful, but very painful, picture of the underclass -- its emptiness, agonies, violence and moral squalor. This book is about a British underclass neighborhood where its author, Theodore Dalrymple, works as a doctor. That may in fact make its message easier for many Americans to understand and accept.

Most of the people that Dalrymple writes about are white, so it may be possible at last to take an honest look at the causes and consequences of an underclass lifestyle, without fear of being called "racist." The people who are doing the same socially destructive and self-destructive things that are being done in underclass neighborhoods in the United States cannot claim that it is because their ancestors were enslaved or because they face racial discrimination.

Life At The Bottom is currently on sale in kindle form at Amazon for $3.99. Highly recommended.
