Wait, why is Georgia involved in any conflict? How did they manage to get off their rocking chairs and stop throwing rocks at black people long enough to get over to Russia?
Whoa whoa whoa, man. Slow down. That's offensive on my terms. >:( the part about Georgians being tribal...not the black people part.
So what? Georgians live in a society where they consider black people a lower part of society. But guess what? NO AFRICAN AMERICANS LIVE IN GEORGIA. BTW, this doesn't mean I'm tribal, I'm saying some people in Georgia consider them in a lower social class. Georgians who immigrated to America and other parts where African Americans are considered of normal social class (Like they should be), have changed views and those immigrants consider African Americans to be equal as us.
About the war:
Georgia decided to claim former territory of theirs, South Ossetia, that recently claimed independence (When I was in Georgia, they had a TV Channel streaming from that region, and they were showing independence propaganda videos). Georgia tried to claim it back, but Russia took it seriously and invaded that area and began war against Georgia.
A lot of Georgians are now being evacuated across the border to other relatives or nations, such as Armenia (I'm Armenian too). My dad's friend's mother is actually being evacuated from there, and my mom's parents in Armenia are helping my dad's friend's mother get out safely.
Basically, if you make fun of this whole thing, you are a total starfish.
---(For those of you who didn't figure it out, I am Georgian. Actually I have royal blood in me, my ancestors castle is in Gori, Georgia on top of a mountain :D )---
EDIT:
I've never heard of this country, to be honest. I blame the education system.
We have the following courses:
In Elementary School, Florida history. That's right. Just Florida.
In Middle School, we touched on Geography (I failed miserably. I cant put a capital to a country to save my life.) and US History.
In Highschool, world history. It's very funny to see them try and sum up the world in one year-long course. Usually these courses cover: America, Europe, Russia, China, Japan, some major South America countries, and South Africa. That's it.
Okay, seriously. GTFO the topic.
If you don't know anything about this conflict or the Republic of Georgia or how to pronounce the capital right (COUGHcnn reportersCOUGH), GTFO the thread.
