And that what is so sad. The U.S. and other world leader dont see the value in Africa and Africans. I have personally seen the squalor they live in, and the diseases they live with, hell, the water they have to drink is disgusting. It makes you want to slap the shit out of people who piss and moan about haw bad they have it here. Thirst ? No one in this country has a clue what that is, its the same Hunger, no one in this country has a clue what starving is. But the one thing that blows me away, is that despite all the bad African still find it possible to smile, and find happiness in something . They are tough as woodpecker lips, and I feel would be a better cause to dump billions into.
I agree 110% my friend, people in the US complain if their are half an hour late going to lunch, none of us has any idea what true hunger is like in countries such as Somalia, Zimbabwe, the Ivory Coast etc, we give billions to countries like Egypt, Pakistan and Afghanistan where the people DESPISE Americans, they hate us and would not piss on us if we were on fire. I don't know how Africans feel about the US but I would much rather see us invest our money in Africa if we have to put it somewhere instead of the Middle East and Pakistan, those guys are ungrateful and don't appreciate the moneys we give them, the Africans would. I know we already give money and aid to African countries but they are definently not getting the attention the countries in the Middle East are getting.
All those I met loved Americans. Some of the things we do they find odd, but they do understand what work is. One problem with getting them money is all the "feed the children " scams perpetrated from this country, Bennie Henn and his ilk. All kinds of mission trips head over there. I highly recommend it if you have vacation time coming . It will change the way you see things. Just dont drink the water.
I have always wanted to go to Africa, when I was in the Military they sent me to the Middle East 2 times, once to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, but a friend of mine was lucky and got to deploy to Djibouti, that is a small country in Africa on the border with Somalia and Ethiopia, he loved it there he said it was like being on a vacation, the locals loved having the Americans around. From what I hear Africans have no problem with the US for the most part unless they are radicalized Muslims like the ones in Nigeria and Somalia.
