James Michener, in one of his many books, posed the idea that Africa may well have to go through a couple of centuries of retribalization followed by nation-building again. I often think of that when reading news from Africa. Steyn has called it new-primitivization or re-primitivization....

There's a lot of Chinese guys going into South Africa and Zimbabwe. The Chinese need the SA resources for their economy.

Unfortunately for black South Africa, a time may come when the Chinese decide they have no need for the Africans...

"Well, I kind of agree. Africa has my vote for top of the "lost cause" list"

It just bothers me because it could be a great place

"Right next to Palestinians embracing peace and Arabs printing Israel on their maps."

Now you're just asking for me to call you a jive-turkey.

"Sadly, we have to deal with the Arabs. Can't figure out the Palestinian thing unless you consider the "watching a slow-motion train-wreck" thing. Africa we can pretty much write off and we should do so."

Probably, unfortunately,...

True,Marxist socialists breed death but a lot of death is bred by plain old tribal and religious antagonisms going back hundreds of years.
The bottom line is that there IS no answer.Africa is going down.

I recall the story of this black guy who was complaining that he hated working for the white man.
His friend replied,"Man,if you think working for the WHITE man is bad,just wait till you get a CHINESE boss"
