Why are predominately black countries mostly poor? in your opinion

[Leasy]

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

Since you going by the book so much. Explain to me how Africa went from having the richest countries in the world Mali and the western empires from 1400 to be enslaved in 100 years.

When you come with guns because civilize folks don't need weaponry that's what happens.

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.

Egypt controlled global trade for a few 1000 years


Phoenicia, Carthage, Axum, the Almoravids, the Swahili Coast

Scarce rivers? The Niger/Nile is no different than the Tigris/Euphrates or Rhine/Danube or Yellow/Yangtze or Mississippi/Usumacinta rivers

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.

Where are you getting that they don't have infrastructure?? They had it before when they were trading around the world from China to the fake ass Middle East. At the time trading didn't involve railroads n Shyt just boats and ships. (Same thing)

Scarce rivers? The Niger/Nile is no different than the Tigris/Euphrates or Rimes

They don't know the Chinese will tell you Shyt even the Middle Easters it is in their record Shyt even the Americas.

I said link me to this early infrastructure and trade...
I could be wrong... I'm just asking you to provide some evidence.

Oh Egypt = Africa...


carry on then

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

Hmmm does Japan has colonialism leadership put into power to cause even more chaos within a country. Let's talk about all the good leaders killed by the powers that be who was created a great Africa.

You're clearly missing the point.
No one is saying we shouldn't trade with them.

All the foreign aid money must be put to good use. Africans can trade with Africans.
All the money for aid goes into the pockets of corrupt politicians...Nothing will change unless corruption is tackled.
Bribery has become an accepted part of everyday like in a countries like Ghana and Nigeria.

Can't get shyt done without paying a crook under the table.

East Africans created the boat for fukk sake

Let's go back thousands of years to the creation of Greece, Rome and ancient Sumerians who leaders and god were of Ethiopian descent who builder the temples and gave them knowledge when they didn't even have a alphabet. Let's talk about the castles which originated first in Central Africa and found their way to Europe. Let's talk about the African Moors or the Chinese emperor who received his Giraffe from the great western African kingdom or let's talk about gold found in Russia in BC who Heretodus speaks about the African colony there.

The evidence is there just don't be ignorant to it.

Ok let's talk about the Arab who wanted to help Africa and was in the process of creating a standard currency throughout the country but umm. You have heard of him. Why was he murdered breh???

Adam Smith wasn't even alive yet

It wasn't alive when?

Adam smith lived in the 1700's http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Smith

The Dutch east India company was formed in 1402 http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_East_India_Company

The first banks were created during the 1400's http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_banking

I'm not sure why you bring up Adam smith, he did not invent capitalism, he just wrote a popular book explaining it

 

[Poitier]

Banking = capitalism now

This dude is so damn dumb


Claim countries who weren't capitalistic and mostly illiterate succeeded in imperialism because of capitalism and literacy, not steel, disease and deception

Most African countries are barely 50 years old.

The majority of them consist of dozens if not hundreds of ethnicity each speaking it's own language and having very little connection to each other and very little common interests. It's amazing that they have been able to coalesce and galvanize under as countries originally created by oppressors.

shyt, cut them some slack. How long did it take northern European colonies to recover after the Romans bounced?? 1000 years?
