Africa's rapidly depreciating riches - 09 Mar 09

The worsening economic crisis has led to a fall in global demand for commodities.

The price of copper, tin and even diamonds is plunging, meaning regions rich in minerals, such as Africa, are earning far less than they used to.

Some goods have lost 70 per cent of their value, and it is costing hundreds of thousands jobs in some of the poorest countries of the world.

ya..its the more sophisticated version of slavery

[LionofZion7]

You see all those Africans working. But the truth is, a white man is running that show.

Europe stil practices slavery. Its just modernized.

[polutc]

Why is every african problem a white male cause? When can we hold African politicians solely responsible for their governance?

[GGLebo23]

Yeah!!! Neocolonialism ftw! IMF, World Bank, CIA backed dictators and funded coups, multinational corporations, and the corrupted African "leader" fucks that continue to rape this mineral wealthy continent!!! :)))

Dancing is a good thing.

But that cannot be said about hating.

You are pretty sad and pathetic because you have nothing constructive to contribute to the world. If you really think that being "white" is your greatest accomplishment then you are sorry piece of shit because that means nothing. It is just a skin pigment asshole . Get over it and do something good for yourself and for humanity.

that would be more potent if I had a sister, but sill, you're a jester, very entertaining

dance for me

[Mxyzptlk562]

Actually I just did the naked lambada between you sister's legs. She is still begging for more. The silly whore.

[WKaliber1]

you just can't handle the plain truth, we Jews own the media, the banks, everything

[T8R]

While the majority of world rulers may in fact be white, you flatter yourself by believing that you are in anyway "ruling the world". While you foolishly tout your racial superiority, they are laughing at you all the way to the bank; especially the non-white ones. Only the dumbest slaves take pride over who owns them.

You, like everyone else, are just another tool they exploit. Just another number in their checkbook.

The only joke here

Is you.

[T8R]

While these people struggle to survive the richest continue to acquire an even larger percentage of world wealth.

[WKaliber1]

hahah, you make me laugh

dance for me, dance for my amusement

[Mxyzptlk562]

Oh, yes..."pride before the destruction."

It never fails to happen that way.
