Colonization is the best thing that ever happened to africa.

Guys I hope you realize that the majority of your personal human forefathers were black Africans living in Africa? The trunk and most of the main branches of your family tree are black African and it is firmly rooted in the soil of the East African Rift.

When I see all this Africa bashing I get sick to my stomach. Have some respect, you are talking about your own.

Yes, but as you know I want people to be more respectful to one another in any interaction or discourse :sun:

However, all of us have mostly Africans in our direct lineage, and that's invariable for the human species. They built the fire and carried the torch alone during most of our ancestry.

Shit, this thread got a lot more responses then I expected...

Nothing that I think hasn't been posted before.

Lack of political stability will fuck up any country. Stable and respected government is essential for any country to develop properly. Laws/rules have to be in place, respected and enforce to level the playing field. Once that the justice system grabs a firm hold of any country, corruption decreases and suddenly you have a skeleton of what a nation should be like.

Then you have to convince people that usurping government with AKs is not the way to grow. Convince them that talking and voting for laws is the best way to go. This is probably the hardest part because of the lack of education. Uneducated people can't write down their ideas and follow a proper procedure. They would rather kill their opponents than negotiate with them.

THen comes infractrure. Water, sewer and electricity.

From there, things will look up

it is believed because of archeology and nothing more, again, like
a religion, since we havent found a 4 million year old asian or
european we believe that mankind migrated from africa. it's like a
religion and everyone wants to claim the oldest human remains

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/12/131204-human-fossil-dna-spain-denisovan-cave/
http://www.irinnews.org/report/44271/ethiopia-world-s-oldest-human-remains-unearthed
http://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/human-fossils/species/orrorin-tugenensis


this little jigsaw puzzle was enough to put the out of africa movement into
business which is where the focus remains and lucy is still being touted as
the oldest hominid even though a new contender has arisen in ethiopia,
again, because the focus of the origin of man still remains

Angola is living in the shadow of the Cold War conflict they were part of; to discount this as not having any lasting effect to this day would skew any attempts to understand their situation.

In the West, the Cold War and Cuban Missile Crisis have had a lasting impact on our society and culture. Morbid, apocalyptic themes began to take hold of society; take On The Beach, for example. The capitulation of the U.S.S.R. was not the end all be all result of the Cold War, just the end of outright hostilities.

The Cold War was a world changing event, and for all the impact it's had on us, for those whose doorstep it was on, who fought and watched their friends die because of us, now are changed more. Those men are now the ministers, leaders, and thinkers of Africa. We concreted in the Africans' mind that problems were solved with guns, and then withdrew, leaving a power vacuum and plenty of modern weapons. There are more complex issues at play than a lack of economy or motivation.

We went through the power-hungry, war-mongering phase as well, despite the Christian pretenses; arguably, we're more civilized now, but a more fitting answer is that we just prefer to blow shit up and ruin lives far, far away from our own homes now. Our influence on Africa has been debasing, and we have likely offset any chance they had at stability for a long time.

there were a few places in africa that had indoor plumbing including flush
toilets more than 600 years ago, the first known were ancient egypt which
many would like to forget is part of africa, a small city in kenya also had
them, in the sudan in 600bc they had running water and bath houses, in 800 AD
many homes in sudanese cities had indoor plumbing with bathrooms and heating
systems

You seem to be placing all the blame on African citizens, the root of the problem is African leadership which is corrupt in nature.

You can set up all the civil measures you want, if corruption and brutality run wild, what chance does it have?  At the end of the day there has to be a decent level of integrity at the leadership level, this is what Africa lacks, this is what the African American community also lacks.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
