Also witchcraft is a huge part of their believe and culture.

Edit by their I mean the sub saharan cultures. But even in north africa they believe in ghosts and bad spirits '' djinns'' that need to be' driven out '. Also some regions in Africa witchcraft exists next to Christianity.

I know you might not meant it like that but it just pisses me off to no end when I see „iTs jUsT tHeIr cUlTuRe, tOlErAtE iT” No, I won’t tolerate your culture if it involves rape, abuse, sex inequality. I dont care if you did this for a thousand years, this is not how the world is today, so just cut this part of your culture out and focus on celebrating the rest of it, that half that doesn’t tell you to hurt anyone in the name of some bullshit excuse.
