Parliament of Uganda
A 2010 estimate puts Uganda’s GDP at $42 billion, with per capita income at $1,226. Further, according to the World Bank - Uganda’s economic growth was at 6.3 percent in 2010/11, which is well above Sub-Saharan Africa average.
You would think that given these fairly impressive figures, the quality of life of the average Ugandan was good. This, unfortunately, is not the case.

Yet another superb video series from Youtuber TheraminTrees – which is a response from him to a theist who is asking him questions about what he believes, and why. Here is the initial video from a theist Youtuber, saizai:
In the description section of the video is its transcript. Below is an excerpt:
The atheist-skeptic community currently seems extremely preoccupied with having more racial minorities participate in their events and activities.
I’m not sure if their interest in having more minorities is primarily because they feel people from minority groups might have something useful or interesting to say. To me, it seems more because some people think not having enough racial minorities somehow makes atheists look like racists. I think this is that whole “white-heterosexual-male-privilege” conspiracy theory in full effect – fuelled by a large dose of white guilt.
“To be incapable of proof by reasoning is common to all first principles; to the first premises of our knowledge, as well as to those of our conduct. But the former, being matters of fact, may be the subject of a direct appeal to the faculties which judge of fact- namely, our senses, and our internal consciousness. Can an appeal be made to the same faculties on questions of practical ends? Or by what other faculty is cognisance taken of them?”
From: Chapter 4, Utilitarianism, by John Stuart Mill
