I suppose the fact that slavery had been practised for thousands of years before a white man ever sat foot in Africa is a conspiracy against blacks?

Africa pre-European contact was not an idyllic Utopia where man lived in peace with each other.
The history of Africa is just as abundant with examples of barbarism, exploitation and intolerance as Europe, Asia, America or anywhere else in the world.
To suggest anything other is both naive and incorrect.

And as for post colonial Africa?
I supose Idi Amin's treatment of Asians was a white conspiracy.
Oh, and the Rwandan genocide between Hutu's and Tutsis was another white conspiracy.
And please don't even begin to excuse the current actions of Mugabe in Zimbabwe.

I whole hearted agree that black people have endured some of the most horrific acts of racism and bigotry against them.
The slave trade was inexcusable and the subsequent treatment of black people, until recently, has been undefendable.

There is no doubt that the mineral wealth of Africa has been exploited to the full by Western interests but this was generally with the active involvement of a minority of corrupt native Africans who continue to exploit the majority.
Some of the current African regimes put on shows of ostentation which put all the pomp and parade shown by the British Empire to shame. This whilst people starve to death and have no democratic rights at all.

I also recognise that the "western" world could do more to aid Africa, beginning with the cancellation of African debt and implementing extensive AIDS and HIV treatment and awareness programmes.

I have no axe to grind here and fully enjoy various aspects of Black and African culture.
I have many friends who have an African ethnic ancestry.

To blame all the ills of black society and the African continent on white people and to label it a conspiracy is both naive and incorrect.

I have this other theory about intellectual vs. emotional intelligence. I dont think its a stretch to say that whites might be more advanced in the intellectual department while blacks might be more advanced in the emotional department. Can you imagine a white university professor sensually licking his lips and moving his hips to the vibe?

By beginning with the nations that are not under dictatorship and are already on a good way. By stopping all gifts and "aid" and replacing them with smart business investments connected to empowerment and education of blacks. Quite simply really. So simple that it is mind boggling why so many obvious failure-strategies are being implemented.

Even a common idiot joe like me can see through the BS, therefore world leaders should have noticed it a long time ago.

Is there really even just one stable country in Africa that a MNC would feel comfortable investing billions in? Why would they do it? What would investing in Africa offer to an investor, a company CEO?

Other than South African gold and diamond mines, I can't really think of anything.

Hilarious Hillary Clinton quote btw.

I used the term "investment" wrongly. There are indeed not much business opportunities there.

But staying with the analogy: The billions and billions and billions and billions put into "free gifts" and "credits"...had they been put into building schools, wed have a different situation now.

I have to hand it to my parents for teaching me this. My dad said to me, when I was a kid, when I demanded a raise in pocket money: "If I give you more, you are just going to spend it all. In addition, you will become dependent on me. Furthermore you will not think about how to make money yourself. I am not giving you more. Think about how you could make some yourself."

But the "aid" continues. And now the chinese are running in and handing out "credits". In return they can exploit more of the resources.

the vietnamese came here under very extreme circumstances, but those little emeffers are hard workers and they sacrifice together as large families to get ahead. You don't see to many of them living in the ghettos, if they do they own the convenience store or liquor store...
it is all about honor and wanting to improve oneself.
if you ask me most blacks in america have lost their honor, having success to them is becoming a rapstar or pro ball "playa"
listen to their rap music, it is all about night clubs, shootings, cars, clothe "bling" and women. that is what they strive for. sad, sad peoples.
and what gets me is look who they take as role models and leaders, jesse jackson and al sharpton. and they look down on connie rice (because she works for "da man") i would love to know the percentage of them that succeed compared to those on welfare. if they were half the hard workers that the mexicans are we wouldn't have an illegal immigration crisis!
