"figuring it out on their own" has, in the past, involved mass genocide and apartheid. I think what you meant to say is "We need to start helping Africa so more human lives are needlessly ended."

Sound good?

You need to go and do some self evaluation for a long time. Because right now, I'd say you are the most ignorant person I have ever met in my life.

Every now and then I'll have a black friend bring up the fact that black people are still given grossly inadequate treatment in the United States. My usual response is, "I know, and it sucks, but would you honestly rather be in Africa right now?"


And then we trollface into the night.

As long as tribal conflict exists Africa will continue to be a shit hole. No amount of money or aid can fix that

The Tribes of Sub Saharan Africa were fighting and enslaving each other long before europeans showed up. We just gave the better tools for the job!

Yup besides the sidearm part i agree with you.

Having been to Kenya, Tanzania, and Egypt.  Egypt had the shittest people and was the grossest
Kenya and Tanzania were both were eye openly impoverished but so much more welcoming/pretty

exactly this. Europeans divided the continent up in lines that shouldn't exist. essentially fabricating conflict where it never existed before. Sudan is a textbook example. That's the product of Europeans having no clue and lumping completely different people together under the same title and only giving one group a chance to govern.

Wait so you are telling me that everyone lived in perfect harmony and there were no power struggles before the big bad Europeans came?

will you drop the shitty strawman arguments? you argue like a little kid. no one claimed that it was utopia over there before euros came, people have simply said that europeans have a lot to do with the current state of affairs in africa

since you probably don't want to learn. here's a quick summary of the example I used of Sudan. Saharan Africa has been primarily Arabs; Moors, Bedouins, Berbers, etc etc. Sub-Saharan Africa has never been Arab, but has been more indigenous blacks. When the Brits put together what is present day Sudan (up until very recently), they put borders around both Arabs and blacks calling it Sudan saying they are one nation. Arabs and blacks don't get along. At all. This caused massive civil unrest that lead to a lot of people getting killed and eventually the country getting split again into its northern Arab half and southern Black half. that's about as simpe as it gets. obviously there is a bunch more to it than that. And this happened all throughout Africa as the Spanish, English, French, Dutch, etc put borders around people where they shoudlnt go

Exactly.

Take a look at resource distribution in Sudan. Consider that now they are two different countries (kinda), South Sudan gets a crack at the resources Khartoum has access too. Would the South Sudanese have had access to those resources if they had never been a part of what is now North Sudan?

I too have taken high school social studies, and been spoon fed the 'Europeans bad, natives good' agenda.
