If they're equal, why aren't we looking down on them when they live like trailer trash, i.e. neglect their daughters' education and make their women work half to death while themselves just lounging about in the heat? I'm not religious--I believe all ideas of the supernatural are false. Africans can and should treat their women better and try to learn more.  They should at least work as much as their women do.
