Almost every African country was a better place for all citizens under white colonial rule. Not all, but most.

I'd have to agree there. I think the thing is that most in the Black community in Africa lack the idea of long term planning, large scale organization and the applied use of science and physics beyond the use of smokeless power and loading an AK-47. I don't know what it is and sometimes we could be treading to something close to where we do not want to go but I cannot ignore what I see. I'll put it this way, I think the best long term planners are in Asia now, the Chinese think in terms of decades and centuries down the line, sometimes they can put us to shame.

Digressing, I do believe no matter the ethnicity, people do have the ability to understand these things but for some reason many people of all stripes do not and tend to live for today. I guess it is like the story of the ants and the grasshoppers. Africa is full of the latter.

“I think the best long term planners are in Asia now, the Chinese think in terms of decades and centuries down the line, sometimes they can put us to shame.”

China is currently run by ChiComm apes, and they’re incapable of thinking ahead, unlike the sage Chinese philosophers a millinium ago. I give you Mao’s five year plans as one piece of evidence. There’s more. The ChiComm’s one-child policy will soon hurl them back to Third World status. By 2030, the average age in China will be 50.

In India, half the population will be under the age of 30. That will power India into the No. 1 economic powerhouse on the Asian continent. Buy shares in broadband companies operating in India if you want to be Uncle Scrooge rich in 15 years.
