Being black doesn't make you an expert on how Africans thinkYou are saying that your way is the way Africans in general think. And it's not.
I'm more of an expert than you and most all of these whites here. I guarantee that.
Are you more of an expert than me?
I worked with several African governments in my years of work. I have worked with African universities and student groups. The organization I helped build with my friend had African chapters in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Swaziland, now eSwatini. We worked with the late Rev. Sullivan and followed his principles for Africa as well. We were invited to the bi annual African-African American Summits. I don't know what you have done, but I do know that what you've produced as conclusions about Africa are sorely lacking. I am not saying the things you say don't happen, what I am saying is what you said is not the overall cause for the conditions in Africa today.
No, you don't know what I've done and I'm not about to tell. Arguments are arguments and it really doesn't matter to me if you've been to Africa or not.
No, my arguments are not severely lacking. You don't know a lot of stuff, because, as I've said, you're very aggressive and and you don't wait for the whole argument. You just attack.
No, I wouldn't expect what I said, or even what you've said, to be the "overall cause for the conditions in Africa today", these are very complex and can't be dealt with in one or two posts.
I introduce one factor, then we can discuss it, move on to other factors and see where it gets us, or we can bitch and argue all the time and learn nothing, explain nothing, and get nowhere.
But it's your choice.
Of course you won't tell. You asked the question about if I am more of an expert on Africa than you. Before the Berlin Conference Africa as a continent was wealthy, self sufficient and self governing. Now it's claimed to be a quagmire by whites primarily but whites are not responsible.
