Facts are stubborn things. AFRICA IS A DIRTY DISEASED PLACE. Especially the cities.

I ventured out only a few times in four years. I felt like I needed to be clad in a body condom for protection from the OUTSIDE.

When you commonly see signs along the street and sidewalks that say, “Don’t S_it Here”, and the second letter is not P it is H, you tell me if you think you are in a dirty and diseased place.

I doubt you will find much meat laying around in Africa, what with the massive amount of scavengers that live there (the non-human ones I mean).

“I cannot believe that liberalism is so far gone mentally that they cannot allow themselves to acknowledge reality”

Liberalism requires this very thing. It’s a complete denial of the real world.

I never have seen such person-to-person cruelty, thuggery and corruptness as in West Africa. There were violent street fights outside my office gate almost daily. The locals behaved more like unruly children. They played, they laughed, they stole, they squabbled, they lied and the fought each other violently. But they were not children. They were dangerous grown people who would be innocent and jovial one moment and turn on you in an instant. I’ve seen it many, many times and don’t have to make anything up.

Read carefully ... I didn’t say they’re only scavenging. Just that they’re not shy about it.

According to the Post a Modernist Progressives, it’s all relative, that is until it becomes real. We cannot help Africa by exposing ourselves to Ebola.

Obama has resistant to any real action in Africa. Bush did more Africa than either Clinton or Obama.

The Mali Empire (Capital: Timbuktu) was arguably the most civilized place on the planet circa 1300. Islam arrived shortly thereafter.

Diseased, dirty and ignorant. Sadly, colonialism ended too soon and was replaced by commie/marxism.

I will stop thinking of Africa as home to some of the poorest and sickliest places in the world, when the facts no longer support that conclusion. - not a moment sooner!
