By this logic, you could assert that Mississippi is a toxic waste dump.
It's a very dubious assertion in many african cities that (1) they are organized, (2) they have functioning governments, and (3) they operate under a rule of law.
Which cities, specifically?
. More often than not its a clutter of haphazard slum construction with no clear functioning authority and uncontrolled roving bandits, gangs, and militias staking out turf by way of coercion and intimidation...in other words the very antithesis of civilization.
Could you provide some factual evidence supporting your claim that African cities -- specifically cities in West Africa, our topic of discussion -- are "more often than not" organized in this manner?

Remind me again exactly where I suggested your marxist afro-rag should be prosecuted for criminal thought. In the meantime I'll note once again that the slaveowners have all been dead for over a century, which begs the question once again: what are you going to do to punish them?
And whose decision would that be?
The colonial power that has the resources and interest to come in and clean up the place.
