Belgians,they used to cut off your hand or your child’s hand if you didnt fill your quota for the day. They sell “chocolate hand” candies today. If you dont think that’s absolutely DIABOLICAL then i don't know what to tell you.
They are only known for their lil fries and waffles and not the fact that they nearly exterminated the Congolese population long before the Holocaust even occurred.
Belgium a place famous for forcing Congolese to extract rubber and amputating hands for infractions.

Traore said a group of officers who helped Damiba seize power in January, had decided to remove their leader due to his inability to deal with a worsening Islamist insurgency. Damiba had ousted former President Roch Kabore in January, in part for the same reason. Former President Roch Kabore

A father stares at the hand and foot of his five-year-old daughter severed as a punishment for failing to make the daily rubber quota, Belgian Congo, 1904.

The man’s name was Nsala. He had failed to make his daily rubber quota, so the Belgian-appointed overseers cut off his...
...daughter’s hand and foot. Her name was Boali and she was five years old. Then they killed her. But they weren’t finished; they killed his wife too. And because that didn’t seem quite cruel enough, quite strong enough to make their case, they ate both Boali and her mother...
and presented Nsala with the tokens; the leftovers from the once-living body of his darling child whom he so loved. His life was destroyed.

White enslavers tested the fertility of enslaved african women to ensure that they could have as many children as possible so as to have more labourers in the fields. They would rape and impregnate enslaved women, and once the children were born and old enough to work in the...
fields, they would slaves out of them. It was customary for enslaved Africans to be sexually subservient to their masters, even if they were men with enslaved males. It was part of the enslaved man’s role to be used as an “animated tool,” a pleasure instrument.
Enslaved males underwent their first inspection when they became 15 years old or even younger in some situations. Boys with underdeveloped testicles had their testicles castrated and sold or used on the farm.

The youngest person ever sentenced to Death was 14 years old George Stinney an african american who was accused of killing white girls aged 11 & 7. He was sentenced and killed with a 5380 volt shock in the electric chair. 70yrs later in 2014, George Stinney was proven innocent.
It took a jury of 12 white men 10 minutes of deliberation to find George Stinney guilty. His siblings claimed that he had an alibi. At the time of the murders, he was with his sister Aime watching the family’s cow.
It was also noted that a man named Wilford “Johnny” Hunter, who claimed to be Stinney’s cellmate, said that Stinney denied murdering Binnicker and Thames. “He said, ‘Johnny, I didn’t, didn’t do it,'” Hunter said. “He said, ‘Why would they kill me for something I didn’t do?'”

Matt Walsh travels to Africa to ask local villagers about transgenderism and if their notions of gender are as fluid as in the West. He asks the Maasai Tribe. What they tell Matt is different from many of the “experts”.
"There are things a woman can do that a man cannot, and things men can do that women cannot, hence, we have been created equally but different to ‘supplement’ each other by being what the other is not" ~ Maasai Tribe Elder
The translator himself found some questions too dumb to translate."if you want to become a lady but you are a man, you have something wrong with you ..something wrong with your family." ~ Maasai
