The Marshall plan was assistance to Europe to help the Europeans rebuild their economy. The Africans have been in the process of dismantling this vestige of colonialism for years. Pretty soon they will have eradicated all agricultural plots bigger than what is required to raise goats and pumpkins.
“The Marshall plan was assistance to Europe to help the Europeans rebuild their economy. The Africans have been in the process of dismantling this vestige of colonialism for years.”
Africans have been out from under European colonialism for more than half a century. It did not take the U.S. a half a century to “dismantle the vestiges” of European colonialism here.
On the other hand, the true racsim of the west, it’s “guilt” (racist thinking the “poor” Africans cannot stand on their own) , while ending colonialism assumed they must always fund “assistance” and “aid” to Africa. That has hindered real development in Africa because it has more than anything else helped feed corruption in Africa and with that corruption bad governments that, just like the Europeans, promise hand outs. There are some Africans, usually well educated, who understand that and have been calling for an end to massive aid projects from the west, knowing they do not lead to development.
