Once again Bells, I've never stated that I wasn't a racist (you obviously don't know what the word racist truly means).
This is getting tedious... This was in reply to a comment that African American's can be just as racist as any other group...

We can be, but we're not...Plain and simple, history shows that for the majority.

Lets just clear this up now shall we? Now when you say "we", you're not including yourself?
being beautiful does not make it a good place for africans..
Ok Reighn, why do you think Africa is bad for Africans? You stated it was the worst of the worst for Africans, why do you think so?
I stated above (you know the bits you see "bla.. bla.. bla") that the mixture of politics, foreign debt, despotic leaders, tribal violence and mentality and draughts are some of the major causes of pain to the every day African individual who's just trying to live their lives in their individual countries on the continent. Doesn't mean the continent is a bad place to live. Just means that things must start to change for them and they must lead the charge to bring forth that change. It's easy for us in the West to say it's a shithole and all the rest of it and that things must change, but Africans must want that change for themselves first and instigate to change their own situation.
African countries get aid at a cost to them not because of the kindness the others hearts.....
Where did I say the aid they get is out of the kindness of the richer State's hearts? I said African countries probably get more financial aid compared to other countries, but the result of that aid is accompanied by the fact that they have now amassed a ridiculous amount of foreign debt. Plus the fact that the aid does not reach the people in need because their leaders are greedy gobs who only wish to plant their arses on gold toilets does not help the Africans much either. There is no single cause for the problems that plague that continent Reighn.
africans we're indeed deemed inferior because of where they are from....
Racists view Africans as being inferior. Africans do not see their countries or themselves as inferior. When they manage some level of self-sufficiency and are given the right to trade freely on the global markets to ensure that they can help themselves, then things should improve. But before all that happens, they need to change the political mindset that is prevalent on the continent... the mindset that every leader is out solely to gorge themselves on the richness of their country to the detriment of the people. In short, to achieve any level of self sufficiency, they need to get rid of the tyrants.
Racist may have viewed Africans as being inferior, but it's not because of where they are from. It's because the Whites saw Africans as being less than them.. as being primitive and even went so far as to describe them as being apes. It was because of colour and because they lived differently (the whites saw them as primitive because they toiled the land and enjoyed a way of life that suited their location but was different to what White Europeans were used to). Africans weren't the only race of people who were deemed inferior by the Whites.
The other white meat has also, without a shadow of doubt, proven that they are a treacherous race... I never said there was anything wrong with being treacherous!
Did I ever say they weren't? But the problem is that to end racism, both sides must come to the table. We must also point out that slavery also existed in Africa in many tribes. In fact, many of the slaves taken from Africa and sent to all parts of the world were captured by fellow Africans, many of whom belonged to different or warring tribes. Every race has the propensity to be treacherous and have been in the past and no doubt, will be in the future.
