Why are predominately black countries mostly poor? in your opinion

[Poitier]

Lack of navigable waterways, lack of natural harbors, weren't just hindrances, but crippling. Leaving Africa out of much of the worlds early economic development.

Can't believe dudes are screaming capitalism when that Shyt requires a lower class no matter wha. Of course European countries would be ahead they had a 400 year head start and let's not discuss the prevention of African countries which according to history was created with falsified borders succeed in a banking system and colonialism system that has prevented growth for over 100 years. I mean Hati is a island the size of Maryland which was the richest island during slavery once they kicked out the French every single European nation made sure it didn't prosper anymore.

I think you might need to review the tweets that @Poitier posted.

But since you missed it, the reason why black leaders are corrupt because there is no "their people". There's an allusion that there is but in reality there isn't and never was. Where that illusion come from? like he said the Berlin Conference, "spheres of influence", the arbitrary joining of groups of people who wouldn't have come together otherwise.

Bullshyt.
Not every country in the world is homogeneous.

Lots of countries are successful or in to middle income territory.
Canada is made up of French and English speakers and they are doing just fine, They are a direct result of imperialism and colonization. (this time it was white on white)
Also Australia was created by grouping the lowest/evil among humans(whites in this case) in one place...they are making it.


African leaders come from extreme poverty so when they get their chance at leadership, they see it as an opportunity to loot.

This "falling behind" set the stage for much of the fukkery that followed.

Lack of what?

Most raw materials in the world come from African/South American countries.
Why does Africans have to depend on a white man to help them develop?


Atomic bomb was dropped in Hiroshima, Today it shyts on almost every African country.

Your excuse is weak...very weak.

I found this book, should be an interesting read. Apparently its one of the first works that pointed to European influence with respect to the underdevelopment in Africa/

Here's a pdf

US freezes $458m hidden by former Nigerian leader Sani Abacha
Abacha died in 1998 at age 54 and Nigeria has for years been fighting to recover his money



Swiss banks have agreed to give back to Nigeria more than half a billion dollars looted from the country by late dictator Sani Abacha and hidden in their vaults.

All those countries you named benefit from white supremacy breh. They are white skinned. Name me one poor white skinned nation. It had taken over 2 thousand years for Europeans to realize that they must stick together to rule and World War 2 recently.

 

[theworldismine13]

In my opinion? Yes.

You are either a liar or an idiot becuase I've read that book and it says no such thing

And whats funny is that a lot of the things I'm saying came from that book and from the acolyte of the author of that book

After Hiroshima got rebuild by the Americans and gotten reparations... Where have you been???

 

[Poitier]

Not know world history brehs

Lack of infrastructure in Africa was/is the most significant limitation on economic growth. Long coastlines without harbors, scarce rivers*, and a desert, were challenges that Africans faced before the first white person set foot there.

The nations most involved in oversea trading, developed that fastest... race played no part.


You say I'm wrong, link me to this early African infrastructure and participation in global trade.

You say its an "excuse" or ask why we must depend on the whites, when that could be further from the truth... trade was essential in the development in every nation, and the "we dont need trade with outsiders" position is folly.

You fell right in...I knew someone will go there.

What does Africa do with the trillions in foreign aid?
Free money is handed out by European countries to African countries.

IMF and World bank also add a few (although with strings attached_)
Regardless, where does the money go?

Unless corrupt leadership is tackled everything else is useless IMO
