Why are predominately black countries mostly poor? in your opinion

[theworldismine13]

Sierra Leone isn't even a real country. You are taking a symptom and making it the cause.

no im not, im just using sierra leone because the mende people are one the main groups there and im pointing out that illiteracy in west africa goes back hundreds of years before the european and it is still prevalent today and it is part of the reason sierra leone is poor

illiteracy was there before the european in other words

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

"barbarians" had been fighting alongside and for the romans for centuries, they had been integration into roman society, they new roman miltary tactics and technology, they had actually conquered parts of northern africa before rome fell

they are called barbarians for lack of a better term, but they werent literally barabarians

the eastern roman empire became the byzantine empire, the western empire, were rome was, simply dissipated

i never said military technology was the reason rome fell, what i said is the reason why rome fell goes beyond the scope of the question of "why black people are poor" and is part of a completely different topic of "why do empires fall"

robbie3000 is an idiot so he is trying to mix up the two and he is suggesting that i am saying that technology is the main determinant of the rise and fall of empires or people, when i have never said such thing

im not even sure what the rest of your post is about but to clarify my point about romans, barbarians and literacy is that after rome fell (when means the western empire fell) literacy declined and its called the dark ages, its called the dark ages for a reason

 

[theworldismine13]

Just no

breh, you dont even know the difference between the eastern roman empire and the western empire, which means you dont know anything about roman history

1. You said "Rome fell" which wasn't true

2. I've read GGS. Why are you incapable of critical thinking?
