How is it that Africa is still 1000+ years behind the rest of the civilized world. I mean can you have the discussion without sounding racist?

Why dont we hear of more African-Americans trying to help their "home" land. Im just amazed that they are still in the dark ages.

I cant help but think the folks that got taken from there put their current relatives in a much better situation years later. (I get how horribly some payed)

Lucky Africa.  Less to worry about when it comes to solar flares knocking out their society.  When you live in a mud hut, electricity is something you see when you go to the big city. You never know about a blackout and wouldn't know if there was one anyway.

Not true.  

African wild dogs have a hierarchical society that functions very well according to ability and need.  Elderly, ill, injured and young dogs are not expected to help and are cared for.  The rest work to feed the pack and raise the pups.

.

ETA:  Yeah I get that this was a typical GD attempt at humor.  But as a dog-lover, I see way too much ignorance wrt to dogs out there.  I just couldn't let this go.

Our unit was tasked with standing by in Mombasa, Kenya in case we needed to evacuate our embassy in Rwanda during the big to-do with the Hutus and Tutsis. Of course, all of the African-American Marines in our squadron were at the head of the line of volunteers so that they could go BACK TO AFRICA! see their MOTHERLAND! The skipper obliged as many as he could.

When they got back, they all--TO A MAN--said the same thing, "Man, I'm glad y'all brought our a$$ over here. F*** that place."

And they were in a major city--a "civilized" area.

If civilization was really born there and they are so far behind it shows that DNA, evolution and Darwin are correct.


Also, looking at the exemplar in the White House and how it just pushes its own race down, Africa could not be better anyway.

I saw a dead baby in rural Iraq and knew it was fresh because dogs had not eaten it.  Not sure why, but is one of the many things I think about.   It was on a dirt road leading to a graveyard and I guess it was young parents wanted to have their first child buried, but could not afford the price so tossed the deceased child on the side of the road.

Didn't Ving Rhames have a few Bullmastiffs and an English Bulldog that were chowing down on his gardener when he passed away a few years back?

Dogs are opportunistic, and will scavenge dead animals for food if they want food. Not a breed specific issue, basic dog behavior.

Updated my post with a link. Initially it was thought his dogs mauled and ate the dude, turns out, dude died of natural causes, and dogs will be dogs, they came across the corpse on the property and scavenged some food.

The reason they are still in the stone age is because they refuse to build anything.



We keep sending money over there. Been doing it for decades. And instead of taking advantage of the help to improve their living conditions, they use the extra resources we send them to multiply. The more we feed them, the more they reproduce.




If they would stop eating and fucking long enough to build something they could considerably improve their living conditions. I mean seriously, if everyone in those countries would take 10 minutes a day to start building a sewer system and indoor plumbing they would be so much better off.




We should be sending them pipes and manhole covers instead of corn and rice.

Well, "being bass-ackwards and never having left the stone age until some colonial power showed up" isn't a race, so it's not like it's racist to point it out.   I mean sure, parts of the continent got a good bit beyond that, but that's about the way of it.

Here is a thought for you; cultures living elsewhere advanced because they had to simply to live there in the first place.    If you can just run around naked with a pointy stick because you won't freeze to death, and all you have to do is stab something and eat it when you're hungry, then why would you go beyond pointy sticks?   What reason would there be?

Ahh yes, one of those ironic historical moments when freed slaves from the US went back to Africa to live in peace and harmony, well not so much peace and harmony as subjugate the people already living there and establish a southern style plantation society.
