Most Africans wipe their butts with the left hand after pooing. Hence it is considered an insult to use the same hand when handing something to elders. Apologies to lefties. 7 Likes |

Because people used their non dominant hand, which is usually the left hand, to wipe their ass. Since using a hand in constant contact with the ass before the widespread use of soap people caused people to fall sick they blamed it on the left hand being evil. Throughout the world people continue to enforce what is really a silly rule from a bygone era. In the future I expect people to wear masks or avoid shaking hands without understanding why. 9 Likes |

There absolutely nothing wrong giving people things with the left hand is just that some people are racist, plus superstition - they discriminate everywhere and everything. Left-handed people can't count how many times they had to SHALAYE because of giving with left. Some people forget they feel comfortable with left more than my right just like a righthanded person feels comfortable using the right and than the left. #LEFT HAND LIFE MATTERS (LHLM) 5 Likes |
