I really don't understand what all the fuss is about.
Africa never had anything going for it, never.... its why they were colonized by Europe in the first place.

We don't go into places doing well for itself, and just take it over and colonize them.
Sure it was for our own damn benefit, you're goddamn right it was, however that isn't the whole damn story.
The fact of the matter is, is that were thousands, and thousands and thousands of years behind Europe in their total human progress.

The fact of the matter is, is that they wanted what they called "theirs"... and after the tremendous burden of world war 2 on the WHOLE WORLD... not Just Europe...

They began getting it.
And the fact of the matter is, is that NOTHING is theirs.
That's not my problem, that's their problem.

Its their problem all the way... its their problem that they live in a dictatorship, its their problem they can't organize as well as we can, its their problem that they have several different factions all claiming their governorship of their countries... its their problem they have disease, its their problem they lack technology, its their problem that they're poor.

The UN claims that "Together we give refugees the hope they deserve, restore their dignity and help them rebuild their lives."

The fact of the matter is, simply.... that they never had hope, they never had dignity, they never had a life TO "rebuild".

They have always lived like that since the very beginning of their demands to be free from the 10 or 15,000 year old society that was loaded with oppression, because they lost their wars...

UNLIKE EUROPE, where the Civilians won in places like England and France against the Monarchies and the Monarchial militaries..

That's NOT the case, and hasn't been the case in the Middle East, its also not the case in the Middle East and Africa that they had Unified support for their demands for freedom.

The Middle East and Africa did not have anything akin to the Age of Enlightenment or the Rennaissance, the age of Discovery, OR an Industrial Revolution... OR any victories against their old governments of the past, that gave them a clear pathway through history to become modern societies.

And so their demands for freedom isn't a monopoly on the dialogue about what their culture should be.... and their thinking isn't modern by OUR standards.

Causing all the Instability in that area.
That's their problem... not ours.
