Does a bytch wearing a short skirt drinking at a party deserve ten percent of the blame on her getting raped?

Uh African leaders are more like prostitutes. It's always cuanto cuesta?
No, I don't think women should be raped for wearing short skirts and drinking, brah.
The preaching and rhetoric in this manner doesnt help in anything in anyway. 
However, isnt there a thread on the rise of Ethiopia? That foreign assistance fact sheet shows a $300 million increase in funding from 2011-2012 (552m to 865m). That mustve been a positive influence somehow (not all that well-versed on the Ethiopian situation, granted)

The US and EU are sending "aid" to combat China's contracts to build infrastructure and get resources....Obama and the West WANTS Africa to depend on them which makes his whole speech laughable.
I agree, I think we all know these b*stards aint gonna give us shyt at this point, as we're fighting a losing battle waiting for cacs to give us shyt. We're already being put on the backburner since we're not even the largest minority in this country anymore (hispanics). shyt, gays have more of a voice it seems than we do now!!!
I do think that their is a responsibility for blacks with power/wealth to look out more for their own instead of these other mufukkaz since these other fukks will look out for each other way more than we would for our own. If nikkaz actually band together..... .
fukked up part is these mufukkaz know this so they continue to give us just enough to keep us quiet. My only issue is that some of the clowns in power in these African Countries have no business being in power. You finally get the cacs out of power and you still shyt on your people for the dollar.
They aren't making economic excuses, they're being milked dry by Western and Eastern superpowers.
Who is stealing the gold? The diamonds? The minerals? The oil? The West
Who profits from neo-colonialism of Africa's weaker countries? The West
Who committed genocide over and over again, destroyed entire cultures, attempted to White-wash, and then blamed all the problems on "tribal feuds?" The West
These aren't excuses. Western powers have been crippling African countries for centuries in their pursuit of power. A ridiculously strong central government is needed when a country is in shambles, and because corruption is so prevalent, it inevitably leads to a dictatorship of some sort.
Remember Thomas Sankarra & Partrice Lumumba? The assassination of their revolutionary leaders, combined with the bloody wards that followed all over the continent bring about discontent with massive change. Once the stealing stops, maybe growth could come about. Unfortunately it hasn't yet, and the cacs keep getting richer.

The proof is in the details -- a seemingly ceaseless string of projects, operations, and engagements. Each mission, as AFRICOM insists, may be relatively limited and each footprint might be “small” on its own, but taken as a whole, U.S. military operations are sweeping and expansive. Evidence of an American pivot to Africa is almost everywhere on the continent. Few, however, have paid much notice.
The U.S. Military’s Pivot to Africa, 2012-2013 (key below article) ©2013 TomDispatch ©Google
If the proverbial picture is worth a thousand words, then what’s a map worth? Take, for instance, the one created by TomDispatch that documents U.S. military outposts, construction, security cooperation, and deployments in Africa. It looks like a field of mushrooms after a monsoon. U.S. Africa Command recognizes 54 countries on the continent, but refuses to say in which ones (or even in how many) it now conducts operations. An investigation by TomDispatch has found recent U.S. military involvement with no fewer than 49 African nations.
In some, the U.S. maintains bases, even if under other names. In others, it trains local partners and proxies to battle militants ranging from Somalia’s al-Shabab and Nigeria’s Boko Haram to members of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. Elsewhere, it is building facilities for its allies or infrastructure for locals. Many African nations are home to multiple U.S. military projects. Despite what AFRICOM officials say, a careful reading of internal briefings, contracts, and other official documents, as well as open source information, including the command’s own press releases and news items, reveals that military operations in Africa are already vast and will be expanding for the foreseeable future.

Yall need to stop....you know the alternative..
And I don't think he's wrong in that the fact that some of these countries need to control their own resources and give back to its people (man of the fukked up countries there don't).
However, the problem is that "others" control the resources in these countries and they need to
exactly. nothing he said is incorrect. people here are reflexively getting outraged because obama is black and isn't toeing that usual "i'm a victim" line. black people need to assume some responsibility or we will remain in the state we're in. period.
