Well...that article was a bit of a downer.
junior,
Africa is a place way too close to the earth. All of the native species @ the grass roots level believes in a tribal chief by day and a night chief who does his work under the cover of darkness. Voo doo! All of the people believe in it.
The black politics work this way. If any tribal member starts to excel or progress in success whether money, goods, friends, ideas where the chief of the zooie gets offended, they destroy that upstart. Kill him, his kid, a relative. So, progress gets destroyed. All of africa suffers this decay, self generated decay. Thus no progress. They do not need whitey to suppress or oppress them, all they have to do is look in the mirror.
This is why they have never built a civilization, created an invention nor elevated themselves. The only inventions they have is illiteracy,unemployment , violence, machetes and the mortar and pedistal.
To get ahead in culture here, they rip and jack one another and it is widely respected. If they decided on any law and order they would correct it themselves, but again, the chief and zoie would never allow anyone to replace them. That is why they understand dictatorships real well and dictators can readily rise. They understand living with no rights!
This poverty and social thought does get imported everyday into American culture..
Western culture and others had shamen and witches but as people got educated their black hearted politics, influence and tricks were discovered and they were displaced.
Africa is largely illiterate, and even for the first generation of Christians, all still believe in voodoo and regress to tribal ways... their real identity. The Christians? Sundays pray to god and immediately violate the first of the ten commandments... there is but one god.
All admire the successful progressive free western word.. but fail to recognize Christianity as the common thread through the G7 success. The combined values of democracy and Christianity.
