"serious conversation"?
This another thread where American turn up their noses shytting on the African continent that they have very little knowledge of while pretending to "give" advise while they are struggling in their own neighborhoods
No, this is me and that man having a conversation. I respect him and his intellect enough to do that.
And this is also me telling you I don't have to "pretend" like I give a fukk about Africa; no, on the contrary, I can say very plainly I don't give a fukk about Africa. It wasn't always this way, but you can only give a fukk about a people who don't give a fukk about themselves for so long. We indeed used to look to Africa and Africans for some kinda connection to our lost roots, but speaking for myself, no more. I seek no association with your kind. Any speaking on African issues you see me do from here on out isn't a plea for any kind of solidarity with our "African family" or anything c*ntish like that. No, just know I'm speaking objectively, seeking to learn what I can from a detached point of view and hopefully learn from the countless lessons of African Failure.
When the history is written on the native African it will be very unkind. It will tell of a people that in most cases lived even lower than peasants, although they were surrounded by wealth as far as the eye can see. It will tell of a people with the political maturity of an infant and were therefore treated like little babies throughout. A very delusional people. A people that, having fled their own homeland in search of "better opportunities" would, no sooner than touching down here or in some other western nation, mock me because of my "slave background," meanwhile the native African is being enslaved on the continent right now as we speak. Make no mistake about it - that the native African wasn't put through chattel slavery himself right there in Africa is one of history's great lies. So much of your supposed superiority complex came from that lie too.
I could on but I'll stop there. My friend, I probably know more about what's going on over there than you and I've never been. But I don't have to. All I have to do is read what white people have said their short and long-term plans for the continent are, look at where Africa is right now, and see that, yeah, things are going according to plan. His plan, not yours.
Don't believe me? Well, I know you're no reader, so there's a video on youtube of a white man explaining, in very plain language if you're not stupid, why Africa is poor today, and will remain poor in the future. So laugh on my friend.
