Because, kids, as we all know, the natural resources and people of Africa weren't systematically stolen and destroyed by European powers for hundreds of years, and that they aren't trying to recover from that continental raping. Jeez, when are they just going to suck themselves up in a vacuum and realize that history has no bearing in today's world.
And, of course, all African nations and people are the same. Yep, it's true. They're all dirt poor, just like they show in the movies. There is absolutely no middle class employed in service-based industries.
And all those subsistence farmers who spend eighteen-hours a day getting barely enough food for their families are just lazy asses who should stop trying to feed their kids, pull some money out of their butts, and go get an education like we do in the real world.
It's not like the corruption and inability of African governments to provide competent infrastructure and resources on how to grow crops more efficiently so as to move subsistence farming into commercial farming has anything to do with it.
It's not like the borders drawn by European powers that ignored cultures in favor of resource allocation had anything to do with it, either. The civil wars aren't grounded in entrenched ethnic and cultural differences as a result of that border-drawing. Class warfare, and governments making the transition from tyranny to republics are also irrelevant.
Nope, that's too complicated and historical; it's all about Occam's Razor. And it's not like a lack of election legitimacy has anything to do with members of opposing parties aiming guns at each other and shouting 'stolen election'. They just need to grow up...
What a fucking joke.
