Gen. Sara Suten Seti's stance on the mdw ntr-gctid251881

[Tenkamenin]

More thoughts about this presentation. Seti and Young Pharaoh argue that 70% of the world's languages (including Kmtyw languages) have been Latinized, therefore, and somehow attempting to discredit any comparative studies being undertaken by Kmtyw scholars. The glaring problem, aside from calling Brother Mboli a "bitch" and "motherfucker," is that neither one of them in their 5-hour presentation provided examples of Bro. Mboli's deficiencies. They gave a 5-hour presentation and couldn't drill down on Mboli's work? Saying it's deficient doesn't mean it's deficient, show us how well you know the field of Linguistics. Also, if I missed their analysis on Mboli's work please point me to that section of the video.

Mboli writes in French. Something tells me that elementary school drop-outs may not have a strong working knowledge of French.

On a related note, however, I wanted to announce an online debate about whether or not soccer can be played since I don't play it myself nor do I understand the rules. I know some people claim to play it but something tells me that my abject ignorance about the game should trump the knowledge/experience of any soccer players, coaches, referees or spectators, for that matter. Any takers? Me vs. one of the Jawaras from the Andaman islands. Just $50 to stream it live.

I agree, they can challenge without disrespecting the elders, no need for that.  They didn´t cover much of Jean-Claude Mboli, and the little they did went over my head because it was my first time hearing about,  I'm going to look more into him. Thanks for mentioning  this.

Any work by Mboli you recommend I read?

Can you read French?

I would recommend not going all the way to France to read what your ancestors wrote in Kmt...learn to read directly the words of our ancestors.

No, assuming his work would be translated

 Right, but oftentimes the player themselves don't even know the "game" that is being run on them, you feel me.

No, I don't feel you. But the good news is that we can at least get a good head count of all the people stupid enough to listen to this guy.
Always following everyone else, one day the monkey cut his throat.

I'm closing this thread lest AK become a place for discussing imitation fake fraud pseudo-scholars. Let's keep the discourse at a certain level and retain some level of credibility.
