@PumpingSmashkins have you ever been to africa. If you have then you would believe Roberts. Go to skyscrapercity and look at the images of their cities and towns. Not what you see on your western tv is entirely true. Africa is not a country, its is continent. I dont think the same violence in jamaica is the same thing that happens and europe neither is the war in sudan occuring in ghana or south africa.
@tzooh I'll concede this much: Real African Americans--that is, people born in Africa who emigrated to America, as opposed to "African Americans" in the more prevalent, and absurd, context--are very respectable people, for the most part. And, not surprising, these African Americans generally have nothing but contempt for "African Americans."
Obviously these are generalizations. But very real and accurate ones, and the conventional "wisdom" is insultingly absurd.
@tzooh lmao. yes, the dreaded "exploitation" of the dark continent. Infesting those poor souls with such evils as clean running water, hospitals, infrastructure, schools (a futile endeavor, those, but we tried at least). Africa was so advanced and prosperous before the evil white man came along. South Africa is doing so much better now that it is black run, too. The ignorance of the "politically correct" is mind-numbing.
@PumpingSmashkins lol clean water, hospitals, infrastructure, schools, you got to be fucking kidding me, supplying sudan and somalia with aid does not mean supplying the entire africa with aid, dumbass: your sarcastic writing is the most foolish thing i have ever read, your economy is failing and you are telling me somehow you guys are the providers for africa, i have lived there and you havent, no school in my country is provided by the western, clean water, and energy, we produce our own idiot
@PumpingSmashkins btw, south africa is ruled by a black person, and if your racist comment did not go unnotice, you are implying that blacks can rule themselves, well guess what a black man from my country was the un secretary general, the world's biggest political position one can hold, that my friend is how your so called western country get by. No country is more in debt than the united states. Ask yourself where the so called first world countries get their oil from, how come they have so
@PumpingSmashkins many operations in africa if the continent was so terrible, why the western world is trying so much to influence our politics and economy, why would you guys be interested in our continent if yours was just perfect, why dont you just stay there and stop coming to africa. My next door neighbor in Ghana is American, why didnt he stay in America if it was sooooo perfect. Why does the west want Africans to indulge in democracy
@PumpingSmashkins Look at Egypt, after their much fought fight for freedom came to pass with the backing of America, Britain, and France, look at what happened: their military started killing their own people, their economy started detoriating and they even havent written a constitution: and what has the western world done to stop this violence. When it came to getting rid of a much feared dictator, they acted quickly in the name of protecting the people, what are they doing now to protect them.
@tzooh I never said Africa's plight had nothing to do with outside influence. It certainly had some adverse effects, but it also had unquestionably positive effects, which have continued with the infinite dollars in aid from all around the world...
Set aside the qestion of why Africa was so "exploitable" (here again, the "exploitation" inclded nmeros improvements in life expectancy and qality of life). Set aside too, the fact that other continents, sch as Asia were exploited.
@tzooh (my "u" key is bsted, and i'm tired of copying and pasting to correct)...
The fact remains that every black area worldwide, be it city, state, or nation, and be it governed by blacks or whites (and generally better off if the latter) is a backward, crime-infested stain. Sorry if I don't b-y the abs-rd explanation of exploitation and prej-dice for every single sit-ation.
@PumpingSmashkins And yes Africa was advanced, we were the first to pave our roads, first to make glass, and first to engage in mining. Ghana were making their own weapons such as shotguns, and cannons and thread mills way before the british came. Better improve your knowledge on africa, my friend: you probably think it is a country instead of a continent. And Africa a dark continent: at least we dont rob and kill each other with guns, is the london riots any different than the congo rebellion.
@whytedog Well I would say maybe you should grow up and just accept the facts, Egypt was founded built and ruled by Black Africans, not Arabs, Berbers or Europeans etc.
White people are victim of White Surpremecy too, given a sense of false superiority and intelligents etc.
I was watching an infomercial about starvation in Africa. The premise was that Taiwan donated so much rice, it could feed all the starving people of Africa. All they needed was your donation so they could pay to have it shipped. Let's be logical: look at Taiwan, now look at Africa. how is it that a tiny island in the pacific can grow enough food for Africa, but the entire continent can't feed itself? Ridiculous.
I think that we can´t speak about African history because Africa (I want to say Sub-Saharan Africa) was not a nation at the time of the Europeans arrival (and continues not being a nation) but many nations with differents cultures (albeit many countries there were similar cultures). Many people in the western world see Africa as a country, there are preconceit in this point of view because to this "country" are attributed the worst things which are in Africa.
I think it's a little silly to assert either that Ancient Egyptians were 'black' or 'non-black'.
The common folk of Egypt back in pharaonic times were probably an amalgamation of subcultures, as people in the 'middle-east' tend to be now. Most likely the best skin tones and facial features to use as a prototype are the sudanese and ethiopians.
So what anyway? Africa was filled with many significant cultures and powerful civilizations. What difference does their racial heritage make?
@gwprod1 Im pretty sure you can answer that question yourself, but I will answer it anyway. The answer is simple. Black Empowerment leaders understand how we have always been viewed, incapable of anything spectacular. The reason why racial heritage matters is bcuz the world thinks white/ arab/ berbers ruled Egypt which is false, it was Black Africans. This fact changes everything that is said about Black Africans, it proves who we were brfore recent history. Egypt was Black, simple.
@gwprod1 Oh yeah cause Sudanese and Ethiopians are not black (sarcasm). You are a fucking idiot. It's already been proven that King tut was Black. All the ethnic negroid noses are broken from Egyptian artifacts for a reason.
I was taking this video seriously until the Black Egypt fallacy came up. Now I know you have a black inferiority superiority complex but that is just pathetic by publishing such filth you will not raise appreciation and awareness of black issues you will just embarrass yourself. Of course you have issues but seriously if you are to move forward its time to grow up.
Whats it with the stupid video title.....
Africa is not a poor continent .

I will like you to read up on SAP and IMF restrictions on Agriculture in Africa. Then please study the regulations on Cash vs export crops.
2. Please read up on GMO's and the impact on Africa and African Nations (Haiti etc) Also google why the Haitians recently burned Monsanto seeds.
