Let's see now... happenings in Africa....


Tsetse flies....
AIDS...whole lotta AIDS....
Starvation.......
no clean water......
But lot's and lot's of kids stylin in brand new "It's Her Turn" and "Atlanta Falcons: Superbowl Champs" t-shirts!


Not to mention those AIDS infected men who think raping a young virgin will cure them of aids.

Then there is the many instances of albino children and babies being kidnapped and having their arms and legs hacked off. Or they dig up the corpses of albino people. Apparently witch doctors use them to make their potions or whatever crap they market to the ignorant masses there in Africa. They believe that such potions bring them wealth and success. Often the penalties for stealing a cow are harsher than if you kidnap, maim or kill an albino child.

oh, and don't forget ebola.

Many African nations are loaded with natural resources... some say that Congo has the most natural resources of any country in the world, trillions of dollars worth. Yet Africa is still a shithole.

The Chinese are stealing it all. They buy rights to resources from "landowners" who aren't the actual people who own the land, and completely wreck shite

My guess is "Africans". Imagine if tomorrow the brothers in Detroit, Chicago, BR, NOLA, DC etc were left with everything they have today but had to form a society and government 100% on their own without white people. Even though they have all gone to American schools and have access to the internet do you think in a year they would be better off than those people in Africa? In 5 years would they even still have the power and internet we left them with or would they be starving and worse off than people living in Africa? I would love to hear some honest opinions on this.

So yea what? Are you stating for the record that people of sub Saharan African decent are not intelligent people


People of sub-Saharan decent are a little smarter but I would go on national news tomorrow if asked and state actual sub-Saharan Africans are not intelligent because it is a scientific fact, unless you consider an average IQ in the 70's intelligent.

I hear Botswana is doing pretty well because they manage their resources (diamonds) correctly.

Compared to Zimbabwe who just printed their own money whenever they needed more which led to hyperinflation to the tune of ^10 per day

Say what you want, but black people's "racial guilt" is that European influence was ultimately favorable to African civilization and it's a taboo. Where whites are plagued by our history of domination and "oppression," blacks are plagued by their history of civilizational failure. An honest recognition of both histories serves us all best going forward.

They should banish all the white people from the continent, repatriot all relatives of former slaves and they would kick arse over there. Ill bet Americans would fund this project.

I remember a whole bunch of rebellions, wars, slavery, thievery of land, etc at the beginning of America.



The same shite happened in Africa long before white people got involved.

It's what happens when the elite take control and keep their people in a severely deprived state. I've done a lot of reading on Africa and the leaders are the scum of the earth

In 1984 Bob Geldof asked, "Do They Know It's Christmas Time?"

I guess he knows the answer now.

This might be my favorite OT question in a while. Aside from 3-4 countries on the continent, what's not happening in Africa?
