A comparison of blacks in American and blacks in Africa proves that the lot of American blacks is infnitely better. They are safer, healthier, wealthier, and more prepared for the future. The unfortunate Africans, doomed to live and die too soon in Africa must curse the Europeans for marooning them on a continent where they have no hope.
I agree. Just for your own amusement (if you haven't already encountered this) there are are people who will argue the following (with a straight face!):
Up until 1500, Africa was perhaps the most advanced place in the world. Great trading empires, marvelous art, rich culture. But then the slave traders came. The African continent was nearly depopulated when between 100 million and 200 million Africans were carried away. Those left behind could not sustain their great civilizations, and there was a cultural collapse, which we still see today. So (you see) everything wrong in Modern day Africa has been caused by the population loss caused by slave traders hundreds of years ago.
Denial: not just a river in Africa. My opinion is that Africans can never hope to amount to anything until they take responsibility for their current state and determine that they will do something about it.
