Why are predominately black countries mostly poor? in your opinion

[Barnett114]

i spread knowledge and wisdom, tutor people and engage in capitalism

 

[OCCAMS_RAZOR]

a lot of black people dont think capitalism is important, which is what ive been saying

but the economic history is pretty clear, groups and societies that engage in capitalism get rich, groups that dont get poor

are you still harping on this issue? damn, man. businesses, capittalism, etc. do you really think that black people are intellectually incapable of engaging in capitalism? i mean what you're saying makes sense in a strange sort of way, but i highly suspect that you're being very seletive with the types of 'evidence' you're using to support your claim. do you have any hard data proving that blacks don't form a lot of businesses & that is the reason we occupy a permanent underclass in a lot of western countries and our nations in the motherland are poor? i'd be more inclined to support your pov if you provided data, so where is it?

400 years of history isn't very clear of anything, definitely not sustainability.

People think cacs are perfect. with out slavery they wouldn't be shyt. nikkas need to remember the only reason these people have wealth is because they had a world of free labor. Now that that's over they have been steadily crashing down scrambling for control of resources but all the resources are where brown and black people are.

Also thread starters an idiot for asking for opinions. fukk would you want that over facts.

where is it that i said that black people are intellectually incapable of engaging in capitalism?

i was saying the opposite, i was saying that black people should double down on capitalism

as far as evidence of low levels of capitalism, the first evidence is this thread, multiple posters who are presumably black have denounced or shown disdain for capitalism, if you go to africa, there are very few banks and a lot of business are owned by europeans, asians and arabs, if you go to black neighborhoods in the us you see the same thing....why is that?

why do you even need evidence for this, the lack of capitalism is very consistent throughout africa and the african diaspora and its very obvious for anybody with eyes and ears, im not saying anything that claude anderson isnt saying

We got trolled by some cacs. I refuse to believe these nikkas are black. There's just no way nikkas would argue this hard and long to big up cacs and put down our people's.

there's ppl on this board you cannot take seriously.

worldismine, 88, napoleon, ejthompson, dead7, newblackguy who got banned, rev jesse jackson, robbie, chris b etc..

they all have one thing is common which is to say they're black but they're opinion is all right wingish, nuttish. they vary on different degrees of being nutty. mild to completely crazy...

i have files on these niccas. building algorithms. nsa on that ass..

Why don't you take that same energy and critique those individuals who are actually doing harm to the black community.
We are just black men with an opinion that doesn't fit the popular narrative. Who made you king and gave you the right to determine what black people must think? If we don't fall for the victim narrative then that is our rightful opinion

The Roman Empire simply became the Byzantine Empire.

And miltiary technology was not the reason Rome fell, it had too many territories and citizens (Central Asians and Germanic tribes) who had animosity identifying as Roman caused unrest.

Like Rome, most African nations are too large and encompass too many ethnic groups who do not share an identity thus leaders are not held accountable thus institutions that promote literacy and business never form

I mean damn

Bruh its the other way around, Rome\Al-Rum is Byzantium but there was a split between the Greek speaking Byzantines and the Latin speaking Byzantines which is why we have the "Roman"\Latin Catholic church and the Eastern\Orthodox\Greek Catholic Church that dominates the slavic countries and Russia. The Latin church dominates the West (protestants are just rogue Catholics). The liturgical language of the West is Latin, and is Greek for the east. It should also be noted that the Latins wrote using the "Greek" alphabet.

Also, Byzas of Megara, the hero for which Byzantium is named, predates Constantine.

PS: Rome never fell, it may have splintered. And cloaked itself in a religion call Catholicism.

where is it that i said that black people are intellectually incapable of engaging in capitalism?

that was the implication, but you're right for calling me out on this, i don't want to put words in your mouth.

honestly, what you're saying makes sense. but i wouldn't say that we need more capitalism, as we've got spades and spades of that. i don't know where you've been in Africa but most everybody has a hustler mentality, this goes from the poor folks living in the slums all the way to the cronies screwing up the tax-payers by looting. if there's anything that Africa needs it is stable political systems & long term plans. the money is there. it's either not being used correctly or its being accumulated in a few hands.

as for the case of the displaced africans living in the americas and west indies, i'm afraid i don't know enough to comment. i don't know how true it is about only europeans and arabs owning stores in majority black areas. i'm inclined to believe you're correct, but to be honest i'm pulling all my information from listening to ice cube and watching old spike lee movies, both of which are hardly reputable sources. i mean surely in majority black areas in the south (new orleans, atlanta) and the north (chicago, detroit) most of the businesses are black owned?

1. you must not know me. i go at anyone that post dumb shyt. i don't discriminate..

This is a fairly legitimate question. Why is it that I as a black man cannot live in a predominately black run nation that isn't struck with abject poverty? I know the reasoning for this depends on the historical/economical status of that particular country. Every country has its own set of issues. However abject poverty seems to be the overriding theme for many predominately black nations across the planet.

The Asians have Japan, South Korea and Singapore. These countries has vastly different histories than a lot of African nations. They've also overcome oppression by the west and currently have relatively healthy economies.
Africa as a whole seems to be undergoing steady development but they are years, if not decades behind the rest of the world.

I know answering this question would take extensive research. I know this is pretty vague question so im asking for opinions.

Maybe it would be a good idea for you to take a look at individual black run nations and compare and contrast their economic histories. I can tell that you're utilizing a POV that's very outdated and upon doing research you will see that black nations (like other nations around the world) have differing results and states of development.

So I'm not black because I deviate frm the herd? nikka please...get away frm that plantation mindset...

Also, from reading this post, I can see the devastating impact cultural marxism has had on the black American community. People are not allowed to have a difference of opinion without being labeled c00ns or sellouts. Its also very clear who actually has direct ties to Africa and who doesn't.
