Africans used to do a good job making their own choking clothes without the help of dead white people.

Parts of Africa are drowning in millions of used garments the fast fashion industry ships over each year - even though big names like H&M and Zara have made pledges to recycle the used clothing.

If you watch “Star Trek: The Motion Picture”, one might notice how flimsy the Star Trek uniforms looked. That was intentional as Roddenberry thought throw away clothing was the future. I guess he was right on that one. Those hideous blab uniforms were replaced by real naval inspired uniforms for “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan”.
No black people wear H&M?
Poor Africa going to be striped mined for rare earth elements for rich people’s obsession with “Green Energy”. In return becoming the dump of Western fads.
And here I’m sometimes wearing clothes (mainly socks or underwear) till they seem as much holes and cloth.
But are you a productive enough minion for your globalist overlords to justify the carbon input to those holey socks?
Incinerate it.
I didn’t see it as much in southern Africa, but in central Africa I saw a lot of tee-shirts from losing super bowl teams and things like that. I also saw a lot of 50 lb bags of rice for sale that had the “Gift From the USA” labeled on them in big bold letters

I saw something on this a while back. People buy bales of old clothes, most of it’s garbage but trying for a few pieces that can be sold at local markets.
Real crap deals.
Meanwhile there are thousands in Africa wearing Cincinnati Bengals Super Bowl champion jerseys and hats.
As a minion of the Holy Lord, I’m not the sort globalist overlords like to keep around anyway.
I you want to send clothing to Africans you must only send thongs and jock straps (their native dress).
The Ghanian community in my area sends back wearable clothes with great frequency.
She’s not african- but it’s funny.
A friend of mine whose parents are Honduran and Nicaraguan once explained to me, “You know, there are shoe stores in developing countries, and there are people who make shoes. And every time the Americans dump another load of free shoes on a country, you put local shoe stores and shoe makers out of business.” Same with free food, and presumably same with free clothes.
Unless you can sell it on E-Bay or Goodwill really wants it, then it is best to throw in the dump.
Better to dump it here in the US where it might be landfilled properly, rather than sent to another country where it will end up thrown onto an outdoor pile or tossed into a river or the ocean.
Sounds about right.
It’s also worth remembering that Mansa Musa, Emperor of Mali, the richest man who ever lived, destroyed the economy of every nation he travelled through on pilgrimage to Mecca. He gave alms on the journey, as required by his religion. He dumped MILLIONS of dollars worth of gold out to beggars and commoners on the trip, and inflated the living crap out of the economies. This was unintentional, nobody understood economics, and he tried to make amends. He arranged to take a loan from Egypt for the amount he had given in alms, to try to help dry up the currency. But his story teaches: charity can eviscerate a struggling economy.
That’s a better kind of Over Lord to have.
