What was said

Fox posted that of Africa, “huge swathes are as primitive as they ever were,” adding “all cultures are not equal.”

Why it counts

Comparing how societies are governed, or how well they work, is a legitimate thing to argue about and people do it with data.

Primitive isn't a measurement. It ranks people by how far along they are, applied to a continent, and as they ever were says it hasn't moved and won't.

The receipts

Every quote, checked against its source.
