Just look at this crowd, you can see they're all completely useless....oh wait, I forgot

they've all got a degree in either Nuclear Physics or Neurosurgery
There's a certain irony here.
I wonder how THEY felt, when their counties weres invaded by hordes of white Europeans, who established their colonies, pillaged their resources and subjugated their people?
White people didn't show up to other people's lands and demand that they provide them everything. They actually built up communities and started producing wealth. Most of these European countries also did not take part in colonizing anyway.
Let's put it in perspective here.
They did not build up communities.
They did not "start producing wealth" - or, to be accurate - they produced wealth for themselves only. And yes, they most certainly DID show up on other people's lands and demand they provide them everything AND they had the means to force it.
They came to Africa and divied it up. They took the raw resources and transported them to the home countries, to the manufacturers and mills to create value added commodities and profit. None of that was plowed back into Africa. In the process, the local industries and trade was destroyed. All manpower was put put into extracting the resources whether it ws diamonds, minerals or coffee. And when they left, what did they leave? A motley assortment of cobbled together countries with borders that crossed tribal, ethnic and religious lines and little in the way of manufacturing or other industries that would actually benifit communitees. So now, members of former colonies are washing up on their shores and they are aghast.
And, as an fyi - the main colonizers of Africa were Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, and Italy.
I already said this via pm to someone, but I'll say it here, because it matters.
These are people, human beings - not trash. Who KNOWS what their skills are. What we do know is they probably spent all the money they could get in an attempt to escape what ever situation they were escaping - and surviving under horrendous conditions to get there. You know, that in itself says something about their strength of character, their willingness to undergo hardship, work hard, and improve themselves.
And you know what I saw on this mornings news? I saw this:
