They do not need to be ignorant and savage. They are as capable as anyone of being educated. It just isn't happening.

All true. The problem with Africa seems to be tribalism, ethnic hatreds.

Pundits can damn 'colonialism' all they will, but when Britain ran large parts of Africa there was education, sanitation, law and order.

Now they have disease without end, endless tribal warfare. Dead children everywhere.

No, I'm not British, I'm Texan. I have no commercial interest in Africa. I am just a sometimes student of history.

Well sure, and more than half of them have AIDS, and they kill evil teachers that cast spells on people to make them sick.

But, this is just another culture. Who are you or I to say our culture is better? Just because they have famines every year, and those who don't die of starvation will die of disease, does not mean our society is superior, even if it is our money, our medicine, and our food that will save those that are saved.
