Post of Varenus Luckmann reported due to racism in his post. Totally uncalled for.
Why is the truth considered racism?
So, is the truth that Africa will stay being poor and miserable in almost two hundred years from now?
Come on, maybe it's not racism but it's a hell of a prejudice to say that a continent cannot produce some developed cities in two centuries, i mean that's the time that took the USA to become a super power from being juts a bunch of colonies.
The problem with Africa is africans. African countries ran just fine under non-african rule. As much as people like to cry racism they had it much better. Left to their own devices they are still living in mud huts while on the other side of the world there are people landing ships on the moon. You can't just hand people a technology and a way of living that they haven't progressed to and expect things to run smoothly. They've had thousands of years to get their act together. I don't think 200 years is going to make a difference at this point. It is not hatred, it's simply commenting on the reality of the situation. Objective reality does not bend because the truth might hurt somebody's feelings.
I see some issues with your thinking:
1: You fail to account for differences in resources. The US, for example, is fairly well off for resources and WW2 was actually a significant boost for their economy.
2: You assume history is some sort of route to a destination, which is utterly moronic.
3: The issues Africa has are mostly a direct result of colonial action, and they've had a VERY short time to deal with the consequences - few decades. Learn some history, you might get something right.
As is, what you end up with is a little bit racist and utterly misinformed, for a nice big package of stupid.
