"How can the stream be so clear? It's because of the fresh water of its source." This poem comes from the great thinker and philosopher Zhu Xi in China's Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279).

Me Rant...

The Same REASON Racists in Portugal are Astonished That I Speak English, without having learned it in Portugal (notwithstanding that I had English in high school, at the 11º grade). African languages are different from the European languages which share a common structure from Latin. 

Racists are stupid people. 

They believe their languages are "more difficult” 🤡 Sadly many assLickers believe having been born in Europe makes them a special kind of “preto” 🤡.

I practically NEVER spoke Portuguese (I helped in building my school in the first grade. The Colonial entity built NO schools for the natives) in my home country outside a class in school. 

So I learned Portuguese by reading books, same as I've learned English — by fucking reading and writing.
