they evolved in an environment where it's growing season all year round. no need to cultivate or ration food, it was always simply "just there". they've lived off handouts for their entire existence, it's hardwired into their culture and dna.

Nailed it! These are a people that never agriculturised because they never needed to. In an environment where everything is readily available now there is no concept of future rewards from current sacrifices. They’re hunter gatherers in agrarian societies, it makes sense to them to hunt and gather from the producers.

It's simple. They couldn't understand that new banana trees came from the seeds in bananas. So to them, it was stupid to put a banana in the ground for many future bananas, instead of just eating said banana.

They had so little forethought that they used disposable wooden spears and would only make new ones (from sharp rocks) next time they went hunting. There were many diamonds in SA but a nigger never compared one rock to another. They just picked up a piece of sharp shale and used it until it dulled, then went and found another piece of sharp shale. It's mind boggling how stupid they are.
