Precisely my point. They were something our ANCESTORS made 1000s of years ago. However , we are living in times of where mud huts are more than just obselete. They are ANCIENT! Sub Saharan Africans still live in them...

Not suited to their climate? How about you see what the other fellows living in the same climate dwell in and then get back to me...

I will drink my fluorine water, but not before you lose your internet and start living in a mud hut.

Better than being in a FEMA camp or start several illegal wars.
Who started this infinite war on terrorism? Africans or US government?

And dear God, they might COOK outside. And not just becaue they like BBQ! Its a fracking travesty.
You do know that strawbale type / cob housing is increasingly being recognized for its excellent building and insulation qualities? No?
I guess "Mud Hut" done by a white guy is some how better.

Do YOU know how to build a modern house? Nope, but I'll bet you any of those Africans living in a "mud-hut" built it himself. At least they are self sufficient, but if you were given the tools and supplies to build your own modern western style house you wouldn't have a damn clue what to do.

That's a little subjective, isn't it? Maybe 'backwards' by your western standards, but not to them.

And I know a white guy who "collects" things and stores them in his house until it overflows, at which point he starts constructing shacks in his yard to hide the collection as it moves outside the house up his yard and begins to take over the alley.
I guess he's a good representation of all white people.

Well that is a different issue altogether, but I agree with you, yes. But let us stay on topic..

Well, it is about better living and better quality of life. And it depends on lifestyle.
That material might be good building material, but did they really have a choice in building with it?
This is based on my hearsay of course, but African people if they were to live in a real house would turn it into a dump real fast. My roommate said he used to live with African people straight off the boat. When giving proper housing, they would not clean up after themselves always, and not give the house the proper care it needed. Food everywhere, messes left to sit on the floor of the house, infestation problems arouse. And they hardly bathed.
They are just a very backwards people. I guess it is their lifestyle to be backwards.
